chinapig Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 This gives me a chance to point out that Paul Dirac, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and regarded by many as second only to Einstein, came from Bristol. There is an abstract statue on Anchor Road that is supposed to represent his genius but as far as I know no civic statue, which is a shame. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hantsred Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Visiting Oxford fan quote..... The experience i thought for the home fans before the match was pretty impressive especially for a 1st round cup match albeit it was a nice warm evening which of course helps. But, to me it showed a complete disparity to the Eileen gaggle some 5.4 miles away in how/why this cider gang are so much further ahead in stadia/status than the 15 stand pirate malarkey's located in Horfield. It must be gutting at times seeing your city neighbours whooping it up in a higher league, a three quarter finished modern 27k stadium especially when most of the gas's stands could easily be blown away in a single gale force wind :laugh:. 15 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thanks. Great read. But if you thought the seats in the Dolman were comfortable, you really should try the Lansdown next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
