ralphindevon Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 When Bartlett got us to 200 on Saturday I said that was enough runs with our bowling attack, my tweet was read out on the commentary. Well, for all those thinking I was talking nonsense, this is the best all round bowling attack I've seen in over 40 years of watching and that's without Bess and Leach and Gregory for 2 games I know we haven't played against the best teams so far and will adjust that total when we do.......to 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a T20 a few years ago I heard it being sang outside The Annexe after Glos had won and some Somerset/City youth steamed into them. Down in Taunton watching Set v Glos four years ago and there was a large group of Glos to our left including two lads in sag outfits. Gas I met in Lanka in 2012 were all Glos. List goes on really!

I didn’t hear anything at Lord’s that day either, but wouldn’t say that it didn’t happen. Generally more City are Glos fans than Sags, it’s just the Sag/Glos fans feel the need to stand out more. I know of one middle-aged chap who goes on England tours and has to wear Gas kit every day along with his massive flag.

I realise that being City fans and GCCC fans is slightly odd in this area, but it's usually down to connections and where family lived in days gone by.

Hardly a surprise given the location of the ground. There may well have been a group of Glos fans singing their dirge. But we need to dispel the myth that Glos = Gas. It doesn’t. There’s loads of City who follow Glos. I guess if you meet a Gas cricket fan, he’s most likely to follow Glos. However, if you meet a City cricket fan, it’s probably 50/50 as to whether he’d be Glos or Somerset. I like both and want both to do well. To me it’s a friendly rivalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live five minutes away from the Glos ground and know more City-supporting Glos fans than Sags. That’s not to say I don’t see Sags at Glos, but the whole concept of Glos=Gas is completely false. Also, you’d might be surprised about the amount of City fans heading on the 73 bus down Gloucester Road to the Gate on a match day. Lockleaze is probably the last Sag stronghold in Bristol, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Don't mind England sticking with Bess now, means we can have Leachy back next season. Good luck to Dom though, not as upset at him leaving as Overton whose had a cracking season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
