Does that count? Could have been worse,..... he could've taken you up the aisle. Now THAT would have counted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I sit in the middle of the Dolman about half way up and have had several near misses from Frankie Fielding passes and clearances.

She wasn't happy about the way it was handled - iirc, upset at lack of apology - and I think said she wouldn't be attending any more. No idea if she kept to that, but I'm pretty sure she stopped posting on here. Could well be. I remember thinking to myself that we didn't have many couples (and not young 'uns, either) sat in the Atyeo. Never was them again. Perhaps they moved to another part of the ground?

Port Said Red Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 When I used our "free" rugby tickets for the first time, I was surprised to find that the seats behind the posts were in plentiful supply Having taken our seats I realised that unlike football its not the best of views of the game. Also, the first time there was a kick at goal you were reminded that there are no nets on rugby posts! Discovering this nearly cost me a pint.

It's just a matter of time to serious injury..... You'll regret posting this Calculus. When a wayward clearance hits you and spills your hot bovril all over your Armani Jeans and handmade shoes, you will lose the subsequent Public Liability claim! SL's lawyers will refer his Honour to your post and, therefore, prove that you deliberately manoeuvred yourself so that the ball would hit you. The claim would be thrown out. Heck, you might even have to do a custodial sentence for fraud/conspiracy. However, if Marvin Harriot was still playing, you would win as he was a liability!

handsofclay Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I was in the Hammond Bar at Gloucestershire CCC in late whips in a match v Middlesex. The visitors were knocking up prior to the Sunday league game when a ball smashed through the window of the bar, just missing me and an old duffer in a blazer nearby me. John Emburey, the then England captain, came in to retrieve the ball. The old duffer was furious with him for being so irresponsible and Emburey was apologising profusely. It was like watching a grown up version of a kid smashing his neighbour's window and facing the wrath of the neighbour except for the surreal aspect that the kid was the then current England cricket captain!

handsofclay Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 The previous post should read in the late 1980s, the predictive text changed it to whips. It is great stuff this predictive text as I am sure most people when they write 1980s really mean to write whips or quips or poops that are two other options that have been provided for me since.

Red Rag Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 20 hours ago, sglosbcfc said: My old man has talked about a Rovers legend team playing Soundwell in a charity match at Kingswood. He reckons there were a couple of thousand there (he's City mind not Gas who always add a thousand plus onto their support). He said it was amazing how good some of the legends still were and how bad others were. Even as a City fan he said it was upsetting seeing some ex Rovers legends who seemed to have lost all their ability and could barely kick the ball. Your dad would probably be correct with the crowd. I can remember numerous events at that ground that were packed out. It was not just any old pitch it had a proper seated stand to one of the sides and fenced off perimeter. Many Big TV stars of the day would be in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 As we lived near the ground in the 60's, my old man was sent home to get some Brylcreem for Big John as he had travelled from Dilton Marsh without it. We beat Leyton Orient 6-0 with Big John heading a hat trick, all off his Brylcreem'd hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
