Handle painted Red, and names of the players in my shite hand writing of players names all over it.

wendyredredrobin Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I started watching City just before they started work on the Dolman. From memory around 1968.

cidered abroad Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Some very good memories from those pictures. Thanks to whoever compiled it. My first match was at Ashton Gate up against the front railings behind the Covered End goal. Only the Cowshed, nothing on other two sides as main stand had all been demolished after Uncle Adolf had it removed thinking it was the BAC at Filton. One toilet block for up to 20,000 men. The few women after 1953 was at end of Williams. So what became the Williams opened in 1952/3, Dolman in 1970, and Atyeo in early 1990's. And now the almost complete rebuild giving us quality seating, toilets and refreshments. Only similarity with the old days is that we are still not a fixture in the Top League! Oh well, one cannot get everything one wants for Christmas. Edited March 28, 2023 by cidered abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the only reason ag didn't host any WC games in 1966 was because we only had a stand on one side of the pitch. The FA did visit and were happy with all the other conditions of the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see we even had safe standing on the East End roof back in the 1930s! I presume that was the record attendance match v Preston in Feb 1935.

My teenage garage punk band had just worked up a version of Jumping Jack Flash, and we figured this was a show we needed to show our faces at. Thanks for sharing the picture, superb memories. In fact, even better memory, I've just recalled I met this gorgeous bird from Bedminster that evening over by the park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
