handsofclay Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 The WW2 unexploded bomb found in Bath in which residents have been advised to evacuate the area although others have remained at home has prompted me to consider what City fans would do if say an unexploded WW2 bomb was found in say the penalty area at the Atyeo End with City kicking towards that goal with twenty minutes remaining in the Championship play-off semi-final 2nd leg with City 4-2 up on aggregate. Would you want the match called off and everyone evacuate the stadium, or just choose to leave yourself, or would you stay to see the remaining 20 mins with the attitude that the bomb has been there more than 70 years without going off so another 20 minutes won't make much difference, then keep your fingers crossed that City hold onto their two goal cushion and that Lee Tomlin doesn't take a dive in the pen area?

Guest Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Might as well wait it out; it'd take 20 mins to get past the Dolman leavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Actually, seeing that a bomb did drop and explode on Ashton Gate during the war there is always the possibility that another dropped, embedded itself in the pitch and didn't go off....though it might've been better for me to postulate that theory BEFORE the stadium revamp had taken place!

CotswoldRed Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 See the game out. Interested knowing how it might be found during the game. Does the keeper get bored and grab the groundsman's spade just after half time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago i had to be trained in Advanced Food Hygiene so I was qualified to run basic courses, it was a 5 day course and by day 2 many of us had stopped eating, after a while I thought, "it didn't kill me when I was ignorant of the facts, why should it do so now?" So I think the laid back west country man part of me would say "well it didn't explode before, I think I can expect it not to explode for another 20 minutes just because we know it is there, play on ref!".

... Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 You simply CANNOT rely on the Germans. We specifically asked for it to be under Twerton Park, with the timer set for the mid 1990's. Clowns. Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I remember seeing this one on flickr, it must be around the same size of the bath one. There must be thousands of unexploded bombs all over britain. A lot of them were booby trap bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
