fka dagest Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'd have expected a 'I don't like cricket, I love it...' option. I suppose I follow Glos a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ah - a big club glory-hunter [ENORMOUS GRIN] Just a minute - not a glory hunter, I grew up up there. As a kid I used to watch a team with Close, Trueman, illingworth, Boycott, Johnny Hampshire, Jimmmy Binks, Phil Sharpe and all. Biased obviously but that was a team that would give many test sides a run for their money. Have now lived in and around Bristol for nearly 40 years and consider myself dual nationality: Yorkshire and Somerset. Obviously my kids, who are a mixuture of both nationailities, are a complete mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a class set-up - when they could be persuaded to stop fighting each other and pay attention to the opposition A mate of mine from Mendip supports Leeds because his Yorkshire father inflicted them on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many stories I could tell, none of them of pleasant or suitable for publication. The last days of the Borgias were fairly calm compared to the goings on at YCCC over the years. Sorry to hear about your mate being saddlled with Leeds - the one football club I would wish out of existence. I could recommend a combination of Bristol City and Huddersfield Town as much more suitable, but if both make the Champions' League Final I don't know what I'll do.

Rich-TWSC- Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I was a season-ticket holder at Somerset as a kid. My interest in county cricket has admittedly dwindled over the years but I still look up their results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpaul Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The River Avon was "The Divide", so being born and raised on the South Side it has to be Somerset for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The River Avon was "The Divide", so being born and raised on the South Side it has to be Somerset for me. There you are then. I was raised in Clifton within sight of the Gate but North (actually East) of the river. My grandfather, who'd seen Grace play, was a Glos member, and he took me to my first game in 1954. Tom Graveney is the only surviving member of that team Ron Nicholls, Barrie Meyer and Arthur Milton all played for City, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmabbuttshair Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Glos for me. Used to go over on lunch breaks from college. Sit drinking blackthorn and watch Jack stand up to Courtney in April and May. He was some wicket keeper. Do keep a look out for Somerset as well.
