Roadrunner Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thinking about tonight's game got me thinking about how we have changed, during my 60 years of following the club. The game is faster, more money,We talk about diamonds and 442, nutrition, mid season breaks. Live TV, pundits, we sit down in the stadium rather than standing up in the open end, and lots lots more. But the thing that started me thinking was the players first names. In the 1955/56 season we had John, Bob, Ivor, Tom,Wally, Clive and Bobby. Today it's Hordur,Korey,Tammy,Scott,Marlon,Aaron and Diego. Some things have not changed we are at Ashton Gate, we play in Red,We are the top team in Bristol. We know that at some point when all seems to be going well, a disaster is around the corner. But at some point we will have a brilliant result and the rest of the football world will be talking about my club Bristol City. Good luck tonight guys.

1960maaan Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 We can now only dream of the old EE open air toilets that seemed to have their own tides ! One thing that hasn't changed , we didn't have hand dryers in the toilets for the Wigan game either ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Was only thinking the other day, the new signings are our first ever Hordur, Callum , Josh and Tammy. Unless I can be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Another very significant change is how the club is run these days. Very different to how it used to be as recently as just 18 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
