WhistleHappy Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 @AdamB in view of the post match activities is there any chance of the Park&Ride bus services running a bit later to allow people to stay on and enjoy the party? .... at the moment they're scheduled for standard timings for 12pm KO matches and the last one back is at 3.40pm - unless people leave promptly after the game on the earlier services and miss the post match stuff completely it looks like a mad scramble for the last bus and many stranded passengers left without transport back to their cars.... I dont fancy the walk back to Brislington P&R tbh.. a few buses between 4 & 5pm would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we've had a bad season but let's enjoy at least, maintaining SBC status for another year. It's only for an hour or so… You aren't obliged to use the sponsors name/initials you know.

Comparing Adge Cutler and the Wurzles with the current Wurzels is like comparing the Beatles with a group of old blokes having a sing song in a pub.

Well I for one do not think football fans many of whom reside in this fine City singing about the Moon shining on a Cowshed (geddit), are thinking about the reality of living in South Bristol.

Nope. Jocks and northerners dressing up like 19th century peasants is a bit shite imho. Wurzels died with Adge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzels died with Adge. Have to agree with this. I'm the proud owner of an original vinyl copy of Adge's Live At The Royal Oak Nailsea '66 album that I inherited from my late dad, and I love it. But I've never understood what the music, lyrics or imagery have to do with life in Bristol. Answer: absolutely nothing. Would rather hear a Massive Attack tune at a game.

Leveller Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think this is all to do with BCFC being as much a Somerset club as it is a Bristol club. An awful lot of us DO live a rural life over the county line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, albeit inherited from my grandfather. A prized sentimental possession along with the original 7" single of Drink up thy Zider/Twice Daily. I'm no bumpkin but a good old listen to the Wurzels, with and post Adge, is a right old treat. They'll always be synonymous with Bristol City, it's just how it is.

Walk round the long way sadly. Remember that the away fans side of the Atyeo will be blocked off, so you can't walk round then back of the Atyeo, you have to go out onto the road, along past the houses, then back in where the old main entrance used to be, and down the back of the West Stand.
