A recurring theme. Dreadful. WTF was he thinking? He swapped him for Andy May, a decent Championship midfielder for a bomb scare central defender who played like he had his boots on the wrong feet. When he got sacked Snith was bleating about not being backed, well if you’re going to sign shite like that (& Brian effing Mitchell) what do you expect? Osman got plenty of flak but the defenders he brought in, Shail, Munro at least could bloody defend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 What’s going on with those ‘north of the river’ flags? Wasn’t ‘The Fellowship’ in Filton? Last time I checked, Pucklechurch, I’d swear was north of the City Centre. Puts paid somewhat to the great saggy myth of the Bristol divide. Much of North Bristol was in my time, and still is, ours. TBF, I’d give them their Lockleaze and Eastville enclaves though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he came here he did a chat in a Pub we ran a coach from. He told us that we wouldn't need a keeper he was that good. Then again , Denis did like a beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s considered not enough of a money maker although there’s loads of decent sized clubs at our level here and in Europe so I think it would be popular with fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely The Fellowship was a proper Rovers pub seeing its slap bang in the middle of Horfield I think ‘The Fellowship’ was frequented by several City ‘fans’ back in the day. None to distant Southmead certainly had more than a red tinge in the 70’s. Infact, can remember, occasionally, on the old East End the chants of Southmead/Knowle West usually followed by Rangers/Celtic. Southmead weren’t outnumbered either. Horfield was pretty mixed too, with lots of City graffiti. It was pretty interesting living in ‘border country’ in those days with some quite surprising (to me at least) neighbourhood allegiances to red/blue. Can remember, to my cost, going into Redland which I assumed was solid City, but turned out as home ground to a bunch of Sags. Tended to tread carefully outside my patch after that somewhat uncomfortable experience! That said, knew some of the their ‘legends’ who resided in my neighbourhood, and was good friends with one of them and had more blue friends than red and still do, including best man and each others weddings.

City played Bordeaux H & A. I'm told we had played Hannover, another twin city, H&A a few years before. When Juventus came to England for the Anglo Italian Cup, they managed to fit in a friendly at AG. 4-0 to City! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
