Red Rag Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looks like I'm the only one then. Rovers. They'd be my local team. Your not alone, me also, its the only obvious choise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Me and my mates talked about this in 82, at that time we said it would probably be Exeter. Now,I would just watch local football on a Saturday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Your not alone, me also, its the only obvious choise. Really ? If City went bust at the end of the season , you'd be at the Mem come August ? I'd only watch local amateur stuff as I often do now when City are away , and spend the money saved watching more GCCC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 CiderArmyy is Scotty still turning out for you occasionally? I don't watch them anymore, I use to watch them all the time a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Chelsea. Locally i would probably go and watch Bath. Infact i expect they would pick up a fair few City fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Rugby League We don't have that option! The biggest club locally would be Glos All Golds in the Championship, who play at Cheltenham. If only the Celtic Crusaders had moved to Newport and not Wrexham...

When I was young many people would watch City at home one week the gas the following week, me included. Not just a few but plenty. Never left me any thing other than a City fan. If city did not exist, why would the likes of Yeovil, Wigan, Man Utd etc be more of an atractiuon than what would be the only team in Bristol.

Northampton Red Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Would definitely support a phoenix type club, but for a league fix I'd probably take a bit more interest in the Cobblers. Bless 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd watch probably FGR or Cinderford. But every game would be observed through a veil of tears for my beloved City. Plus ça change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 City would still be my one and true love. And although it may take a few years, the mem (or UWE) would be my place watching the gas. Yeovil could become my team, though further away, I have family there too. Could follow Brizzle in the rugger too. Defo not some prem fanboy. no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 When I was at school my Geography teacher blamed me for drawing a penis in my textbook with his name written down the 'shaft', however it wasn't me, it was my so called mate. I've held on to the bitterness of that injustice my whole life. I cry every day. With that in mind, Crystal Palace fans sound like my sort of people so I'd probably get an ST for Selhurst.

poland_red Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 been to a few arsenal around england and europe with friends who support em, but it's never the same is it. nowadays I'm not averse to poking my nose down at legia warszawa, but that's just to get a fix of football as opposed to proper support. the feelings i have for city can never be replicated, and allegiance isn't something you cut and paste onto another team. i'd go down football still if city, god forbid, went dead, to random games, local games out here and any big games my mates might be doing, but it'd never be as anything other than an interested observer :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_red Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 to add. in the event i'd ever move back to briz, unlikely as that is, could certainly see myself down twerton park for the odd bath city. weirdly i used to quite like that ground, even though the results there were frequently horrifying.

Red Rag Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Fair enough , my Grandad used to do the same , but I couldn't do it personally. I understand that, watching both teams dates back to times when it was less tribal. I used to often go to the Mem with a gas mate of mine until about 8 years ago, sadly he is now dead, he would also come to AG with me, either of us had no problems supporting each others team, unless we were playing each other of course.That said I can remeber being at the Mem with him and his mates playing against the City, when they had Jason Roberts scoring for fun, think we lost 3-1. Everyone around knew I was a city fan from banter over many seasons, but other than have the pi55 took it was never a problem. Good days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betelgeuse Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd become an armchair fan of English football, basically just watch what ever is on TV if it appeals. I would probably do a few euro trips to see big euro clubs if I could afford it once or so a season. Maybe watch some local stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciderhead3892 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Forest Green, live 10 mins away from their ground, are my 2nd team and always look out for their results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think i'd end up watching Bristol Rugby every now and then but a lot less than City. As others have said I don't even think i particularly like football anymore I don't care about the Permier League and never watch football on TV, I just can't get engaged with it. If a phoenix team started in the non-league i'd go and watch them but aside from that I think i'd give it all a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedbcfc Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 SEA SEA SEASIDERS! clevedon town obviously wouldn't be the same but i'd need my fix of actually caring about a team's results rather than living on super sunday etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 No one. Outside of city, professional football barely registers in my life these days. I think it's all the corruption and greed. I don't know if it's always been that way and I was simply too young to pick up on it before, but in the last few years I've grown increasingly apathetic to the game from the highest level down. Couldn't agree more with this. In fact i made the same comment a number of times this season. I might wonder down and watch keynsham town, but to be honest without City, football would just pass me by. I enjoy Rugby, but sadly their Premiership seems to be idling it's way down the same path. I don't know if it's age or more responsibility as you get older, but the allure is fast disappearing. I went by train Saturday, looking to rekindle a bit of the buzz, by at times i was just plain bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on a night out in Cheltenham just before Christmas, the Gloucester boys were out - they were only to happy to stop and have a chat and have their photo's with the girls taken. Top bunch of lads, and that's from Jim Hamilton, club captain, to Freddie Burns who had just made his England debut the week before. Not saying they won't end up going the same way as the footballers, but from what I know of the Gloucester boys they are a very fan friendly bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWRed Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Swansea. Got plenty of mates who are fans and have no real problems with them as a team. Bonus that you get to watch good football and hate Rovers and Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
