Bristol Rob Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Any idea what the weather is going to do today? It looks like it's gonna be sunny but we've just had rain on Gloucester Road. I'm right confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see we have strength in depth in this department, and you're not "one for the future". Won't quite feel like the season is here until I see @BigTone's condensed version. Like Laurel is to Hardy, like Morecambe is to Wise, like Marks is to Spencer then Havana is to me. Despite his absence I shall oblige my public.

BigTone Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 1 hour ago, Septic Peg said: Good morning folks! Now, I know you are all thinking, "hang on a Roly Mo, @havanatopia does the league threads. What's she doing?" But due to unforseen circumstances, Hav slid into my DMs this morning with a request for my help. So once again, I'm in charge for the thread and I must say, I'm rather honoured to be asked to cover the opening thread of the season... Soooooo... IT'S BACK! Like the day when McDonald's brought back the McRib, we can all breathe again, knowing that our Saturdays are filled for the next 9 months. The fixture computer has been extremely kind to us this year with both a season opener and season finisher at AG. And today, we host LJ's old employers, Barnsley... Barnsley FC is situated in Barnsley (duh...) which is halfway between Sheffield and Leeds, so it's smack bang in Tetley's (the ale and the teabags) land, where flat caps and Whippets are common place. Barnsley's favourite son is Michael 'Parky' Parkinson and no one says "ee up by gum" better... Barnsley is also well known for its brass bands, which were originally made up from the mining communities that worked the pits in and around Yorkshire... perfect for playing the opening bars of the Hovis theme music... (Note: Hovis actually comes from the Cheshire/Lancashire border but everyone associates it with Yorkshire anyway...) So Barnsley FC. Mixed fortunes over the years at Oakwell but now the ship has been steadied by Paul Heckybum who stepped up to the plate when a certain Johnson Junior walked out of the stadium and drove his motor down the M1... They've been lucky enough this season to acquire the services of Ugbo on loan from Chelsea who is long rumoured to be the new Tammy Tammy... he is definitely one to watch... Over a 1000 fans are coming down today to sit in the Atyeo but they won't be mixing in the fan village as they now have their own behind the stand. My prediction is a 3-1 win to us so fully expect a 4-0 drubbing and screams of 'Johnson Out' by FT. It's a bit early for banners... Come on you reds... Condensed Version Barnsley: Septic Tank of the north where rats are also called Whippets. Situated slap bang in the middle of a brewery and tea bag factory. Fully expect their new signings Ugbo, McRib & Parky to be on the team sheet. Former home of our head coach so expect "Johnson Out" to be sung from both the home and away ends. 2-1 City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lucky socks (red with purple) have been specially laundered so that should see us ok for at least a point, unless I've put them on the wrong feet, in which case a defeat is on the cards! I've got the new away shirt (complete with Oxford label) on today, will try the replacement out at Brentford away in ten days to work out which is the luckier.

petehinton Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 No matter how long you've been in football - the first game of the season never gets any less exciting. Woke up at 7am and couldn't doze back off with excitement. Also - anyone on the fence about getting the new kit - get it!! 10x better quality than last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
