RedM Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Surprised about this choice of game, I always thought the two clubs didn't like each other much. Only went there once, in the 80's and remember having lumps of concrete thrown at us and there was a lot of trouble. Yes I know things have changed, but hope it won't be more trouble than it's worth. They certainly wouldn't be on my list of clubs we got on with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's league position then Southampton obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of any particular animosity between us and them, but thinking back to when we beat them at their place in the late 90s the atmosphere seemed quite tense. One of their fans screamed "You lucky c***s" at me and my wife when they walked past us as we were heading back to the car after the game - not a big deal really but not something we'd experienced before or since. Also wasn't there trouble before/after the game that ended 3-3 at AG in the Jacki/Cole era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have at least hoped they had perhaps a Prem team lined up for this; and had it organised some while ago. Premier league teams are all in america/china/Thailand selling their 'brand' to their legions of plastics. Why the **** would they want to come to Bristol city, there is nothing in it for them.
