Super Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 also these boys The John Ward team of 1997/98 and Nathan Baker will be honoured at half-time during the game against Watford. JOHN WARD TEAM REUNION In the 1997/98 season Bristol City achieved promotion to the second tier of the football league. And on Saturday, which sees the Robins against the team that they shared promotion with during that season, there will be a pitch parade and presentation at the start of half-time. We welcome back: Keith Welch, Mark Shail, Gary Owers, Rob Edwards, Tommy Doherty, Brian Tinnion, Steve Torpey, Shaun Goater, Scott Murray, Shaun Taylor and their manager John Ward. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Great PR City. Hopefully will lift the team and fans if we have a poor first half, or drive us forward if we have had a great first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journalist Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Feels a bit weird that both of these things have been organised for the same half-time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume they're doing Remembrance stuff before the game, so it probably doesn't quite work then. Could be a right laugh if we're 2-0 down again though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Surely I must have misunderstood this. I can't believe that the team and manager would do this during their half time break in the middle of a crucial league game? (I fully support the idea of showing support and appreciation for Nathan Baker, just questioning the timing somewhat!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 It will be good to see him; but as always when a former player is spoken to on the pitch, we won’t hear what he is saying because of the shit tannoy / PA system. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 This will be very awkward if we have poor first half. I.also dont understand why the team and manager are involved during half time. Appreciate its remembrance weekend but do this during another game then instead...not shoehorn it into half time with the first 11 and manager. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point........if we are 2-0 down at half time, the atmosphere will not be wholly conducive to performing a tribute to one of our most respected and sorely missed players? It is a peculiar, and possibly ill judged idea..........I sincerely hope it does not backfire and become an embarrassing interlude? , as Nathan deserves to be given a massive ovation, and tremendous thanks for his wholehearted performances. I believe it has been a really underappreciated just how important Nathan was to our defence, and how much better our goals against tally would be if he was there, and giving his all action displays for the club? Good Luck Nathan, I hope tomorrow goes well for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Do not get the half time bit. If we have bad first half crowd could be toxic. And generally half time crowd doing beer, fags, toilet, and food. So not engaged to what going on . Nathan deserves better than that. We miss him, top defender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it should be done before ko at another game not at a time when half the crowd will be outside or in the concourse, bad planning I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
