Bristol Rob Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 How have we gone from a senior reds lunch costing seventeen quid to the lifestyle of people who might either need (or thrive) on state assistance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'd always assumed the Senior Reds had use of their own room and bar and, apart from drinks, the annual membership fee was all they were obliged to pay. Bar snacks, plus a bit of a buffet, sandwiches etc. for a few quid a head would surely suffice? This organised meal set up would put me off joining - sounds too formal, and overly expensive. Has it always been organised this way? Reckon I'd be sounding out a splinter group to the Coopers if I was a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A traditional pub, well kept real ale, a steaming hot pasty, and passing a few hours chatting about City to fellow Reds of a certain age. No salad in sight. Sounds idyllic, I've a good mind to start it off when i'm in a position to do so. Have to think of a catchy title to rival 'Senior Reds Lunch at Ashton Gate' - 'OAP lunchtime City piss up at The Coopers'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine much grumpiness - it's the younger generation who seem a bit grumpy! Most of them barely even go to pubs..... Just real ale, traditional pasties (or go hungry) and City fuelled memories and bonhomie. A surefire winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 For all the thousands who will be heading to Ashton Gate,Mark Kelly is the guest speaker. So for all those who are not old enough to attend or unable to attend. What WOULD you ask him? and I'll do my best within reason to get the answer/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Mark I think Mark Kelly is more involved in stadium matters. That question I think would be more suitable to Tuesday nights Q and A. Are you coming along on Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
