Ska Junkie Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Arn's still about and active on FB. Owns Mark2joinery. I've no idea why he doesn't post on here anymore. He still attends all the city matches unless he's on holiday which is quite often. Nice bloke is Arn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born just at the right time to enjoy the best years of Bristol City Football Club. In those days, if you couldn't afford to get in the East End, you had to find a way in somehow.

If you've got any, you must be pulling your hair out with this lilly livered crap nowadays. Things change mate as you get older. When you're a young man living on a council estate, football, music, beer, mates and girls meant everything.. Being in the East End was like the best thing you would do all week. The noise was deafening, the surge towards the pitch carried you off your feet, the celebrations were wild......and for a few years, we were in the big time. Now it's £450 every year. The wife wants to go with you. You have to sit next to strangers and moaners.......and it's best part of a tenner for a drink and a hot dog. .....and now the football is crap. We have a manager that only one other person likes and hardly anything to suggest that the stadium (on the outside) is home to Bristol City FC. Next season, if we get relegated, I will find it difficult to renew my ST. Never thought I would ever feel like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky enough to remember the EE at its' pomp and I can't agree with you more. Went for a beer tonight with an egg chaser and seriously thinking of a year off and watching Bath. Just to enjoy the matchday and not give a **** about the result. A sad state of affairs all round. Give me the 'tipsy tours' days every time!

In those days loads of us used to do it as noone could ever find you in a packed moving mass that was the East End. **** me, they were the days! Never to be repeated. All standing, etc. Always remember the guy on the milk crate behind the goal! When we scored he always went flying ! :laugh:! What has happened to my beloved club!!! It shames me to see this mess!
