wesco Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I was born in Bristol but was soon taken from the hospital to somerset and have lived in the same house all my life. Support City because my dad did as a boy (Not sure why as he is born and bread in Wells, somerset) also it was at the time the local league team.

TimmerD Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I must have lived in Bristol for all of 2-3 days - a lovely time in the Bristol Maternity Hospital (anyone remember that?!). Parents were living in Blagdon, Somerset at the time so obviously I was taken there and we then moved to Wiltshire when I was one. Have lived in London, Surrey since and am now in Devon and am proud to have spread the BCFC gospel wherever I go. Dad (a Bristolian like his parents) first took my when I was about 7 or 8 v Liverpool and we won 1-0. He was a rugby fan, but decided to take me to watch the City. Been hooked ever since. I am pleased that there are some on here who follow City cos there Dad does, as my boy is now 2, and he has not and is not likely to live in Bristol, but I hope he gets just as hooked! Mind you I did try and persuade the misses that we should go and stay in Bristol around the time he was due so he could be born in Bristol, but she was having none of it. I still don't know why....

scootered Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Born and bred in Chard. Started following City cos the old man was a coach driver and used to drive a coach from Chard to City when we were in the old first, me and the brother used to go up when the coach wasn't full. Funny story here, me Dad dropped off a coachload once and told them he would pick them up the same place he picked them up for the United game. Unfortunatley he was talking about Leeds Utd and they thought he meant Man Utd, when he got there and know one was there he thought bugger you then and went home. This still gets a mention from some of the blokes after a few beers, like it was my fault! i got home alright!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderEagle Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Worked in Bristol in 96/98, which is when I fell in love with the Mighty Reds but have never lived there. Born and bred in Sarf Lunnon, now live in North Devon, where most of the locals support whichever premier team is top at the moment with Plymouth as their second team. Annoying increase in the number of horrible green shirts around at the moment, but our time will come .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i live in Kuala Lumpur, just off Jalan Awan Cina if you know it. Only recently moved out there actually, like yourself i spent about a good few week in Asia and fell in love with the place so i decided to find a job and up sticks. Well now is a good time to visit Asia, your Pound gets you very very far, most people who go out there generally go out again and give the Spain elbow, it really is that cheap. not sure where Subang Jaya is, i'm still struggling to remember where i live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
