CyderHead92 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Pretty sure I used to see him around bath when I worked in the centre. Used a walking frame? Am I thinking of the right person? Nice chap always chatting about city when he knew I was a fan. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a Bond and a City fan, I'm probably distantly related. RIP fellow Red. Rest easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Did he used to wear scarves around his wrist, even up to recent years? RiP. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacs Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I used to have a season ticket a few rows behind him when home fans sat in the Atyeo. Very passionate about city and was always shouting “come on me babbers”. RIP Bob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Another long standing acquaintance is finished. I knew him standing in the Covered End going back to the first seasons after relegation from First Division. After I moved to Frome, I used to see him on after match train to Bath. Thanks for the friendship, mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Bob was always in the SC selling raffle tickets. He had a Mohican at one point and always wore Dr Martin boots . Nice guy with a very ‘trendy’ handshake. Hadn't seen him in several years - very sad to see that he’s passed. RiP Bob Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Don’t think I ever spoke to him, but if this is ‘Bob The Badge’ then I’d have seen him probably a thousand times! A very imposing figure. RIP Bob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Semi-familiar. Would have been near to him on the East End back in the day. Happy shared memories and sleep well lad. As an aside, the picture doesn’t look the same guy from my hazy recollection, but mention of badges and scarfs around the wrists. Was there not a chap called ‘flagship’ (maybe just by our group!) who frequented The Gate at that time and subsequent decades?

NcnsBcfc Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'm sure City have actually used Rob's image in promotional literature and online in the past. Demonstrates the passion he had for the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
