Dave Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Although last night was frustrating, it was a special night for me as I had my photo taken in front of the sign, welcoming supporters to the area named in my brother Ians memory. Thank You Bristol City and Adam Baker for organising. It is visible from the concourse, please go and visit. Any photos of fans posted on here with this I will donate £1 to the collection for Jamie Mines, the Frome footballer who has endured amputations after an electrocution incident. (up to £100).

Eddie Hitler Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cheers Dave, you have lightened my mood today considerably with that good news post. And well done Adam Baker. 939 - wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 That's really nice to read. What an inspiration - 939 games. I'll never get remotely close. Will try to get a photo next Saturday. Where is the sign/area exactly Dave? I know I've seen it but can't remember which area it is, sorry.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Great story. The disabled facilities we have now are awesome, so much better than those awful corrugated sheds we used to have. Credit to the club for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Great to see this Dave. Ian was an inspiration to so many, and it's good to see that his name and memory have survived the various moves around the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong Dave) that it's on the Dolman corner of the South stand within the concourse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 @Dave, I guess that's your brother on the plaque, of course it must be as it wouldn't make sense. I just wanted to say you two look so alike, I had to do a double take. You must be so proud of him and this wheelchair area sounds a fitting tribute, may his memory live on and on.

Dave Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 For all those asking, this area is situated at the front of the Dolman Stand, it's official title is A10, but it will always be the Ian Cottle Wheelchair Area to me,.

Yes, I am very proud of Ian and his record. Hopefully, a few pictures will get posted, so I have to donate a few quid to a very worthy cause.

Dave Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have bumped this up from page 8. Just to remind you of my pledge to donate £1 (up to £100) for every photo of a fan stood by the new sign posted on here. Tomorrow and Tuesday seem like opportunities to raise some cash for a very worthy cause. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Monday 8th May will mark 10 years since Ian was awarded the Supporter of the Year award. So now everyone is more relaxed about our league position, perhaps Sunday would be a good day to take and post a picture. Cheers COYR PS. Bumped to top so I have to donate some cash.

Dave Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks @Dollymarie. Super photos, and they bring back memories of a special night. I know that night Ian was very proud to receive the award, and there is a clip on YouTube of him going up to collect it, which I do have a look when I need a bit of cheering up. I know on OTIB "superfan" is not a popular phrase, but Ian was a very dedicated fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks for that. I really love his little wave as he walks back to his chair. I also remember that part of his prize, was some beer, which he gave to Louis Carey to share with the other players, and that I was hanging on to the trophy tightly as he pushed me back to Temple Meads. Happy memories. I can't believe it is 10 years ago. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just about to leave for the game, so one final bump of this topic.
