Kid in the Riot Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Some form of membership book found under the floorboards of a house in BS3. In absolutely mint condition but has no date on it. Judging by the fact it's hand painted I'm guessing it might be quite old ?! I was thinking 50s or 60s but any help much appreciated !

I think it might be a junior reds membership card/booklet from the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Could be a Supporters Club membership card or more accurately a little booklet from 50's or 60's. What are dimensions? Approx 3 inches high by 1.5 inches wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 It’s Mark Ashton’s player’s bible, either: - reduced in size to match LJ’s stature - or @BigTone‘s condensed version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constant Rabbit Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think it's an autograph book for kids given out back then. I used to have one very similar at the end of the 1970's - had team info and blank pages for opposition players as well. I used to have all the autos from Liverpool Leeds etc late 70's but sadly lost it decades ago. Have a look at the back half and see if its got black pages with 'autographs' in Cyrillic script and underlined - if so, then I'm pretty sure that what it is. Nice find!

WhistleHappy Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 An early Peoples Republic of Ashton Gate passport.... Probably has an expired 4year visa English League Div 1 from the 70s in it somewhere. First stamp in it should be one from Highbury... Look for a Royal Crest, you maybe lucky to find one from King Johns reign... & lyrics for the Nation Anthem of the time: # Galley, Galley, Galley, Galley He is the King of The West Country.# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernowRed Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have this book somewhere, it has my annual membership details and several autographs of players. I can remember Dermot Curtis signed it amongst others. Will be mid to late 50s and went to the club under the Williams stand most evenings, usually playing Darts, Skittles and Bingo! with mates. One day I will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Early 70's, 1971 or 72 at a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 It's post 1976, as the Robin badge was not introduced until (immediately) after our promotion. I certainly had a card exactly like it - I had mine from 1977-78 , so this would be a fair bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
