NOTR Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Taffy was from El Dub,Lawrence Weston Red to exact,was living down Gloucester Red at time and about 10 of us were regulars on his coach.Coventry way sticks in the mind,80+ on one coach.Always the first coach to arrive at the games which made for some lively away days.

Alex#40 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Had this picture emailed me a couple of years back Just sent this to Dad. Says... "1975 Boxing Day at Temple Meads, West Brom away (it got called off late), photographer took photo and was in the Evening Post, we headed off to Exeter who were shocked as Bristol took their end! When the match was rearranged we took 6,000 and win 1-0 which was almost the clincher to first division." He's got a memory like an elephant as you can see!
