I cannot imagine any circumstance that would cause me to go and watch the sags. Not even to watch the legendary Sir Colin Daniel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my memory playing tricks on me? In the dark days of the early 80's, we did occasionally fall below 5K IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great days you mean - the freedom of the terraces to f about after a bottle or two of Natch was the best bit !! Lets face facts - we didn't really watch the football - it was terrible !!

The only time periods where attendances got close was the early 80s and then again in the early 90s. The 50's was the only period where I think they consistently got bigger gates than us, thankfully that was before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 We are averaging about 19k they are averaging about 8.5k add that together 27.5k divided by 3 =9.16k so 2 thirds would be 18.2k, so LJ was lying, MORE than 2 thirds of fans that watch football in Bristol are interested in the quarter final draw, I think !!!

I know I will come across as a sad statto (sod it, I am I may as well come clean), but the 50s were the only time in the Bristol clubs' history of rivalry when the Gas had the upper hand in attendances. Even when City were struggling in Division 4 the Gas gates were equally awful. It makes their claims of 'being the best in Bristol' 'closing the gap' etc all the more laughable. The Gas have not had half decent attendances for nearly 70 years, :laugh:. Lee's comments were pretty much spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
