Bristol Oil Services Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 ... 1980. On You Tubes. Bob Houghton's first game. Martin Tyler commentating. Lost 0:1. It's worth watching just to remind yerself, actually, what we have now (as frustrating as it is), this is pretty bloody good at the moment. Dear me, we were dire at Grimsby. If there'd been a forum and a Matchday Thread back then, I fear Sir Gerry (Gow) might've come in for some "words." As might Alan Hay, who kept getting skinned down the left. Mabbs missed a bit of a sitter (nice lob-pass from Hay, though). Kev would've attracted online "opinion," no doubt. Tony Fitzpatrick? Our "recruitment" would've had a grilling there, too. @Olé's report would've been interesting. Big Dave Rodgers bust his jaw, we go 9 without a win. The club is in freefall. Two years later, we're losing 1:7 at Northampton in the 4th Division. Try and enjoy it tomorrow, and give the team a bit of backing, if you think of it .... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 I still have the live HTV 90 minute live match back in 1993 against Grimsby when we won 1-0. A game that Humberside/Yorkshire channels did not cover. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be exactly what Bristol City Heritage are looking to get copies of so they'll never be lost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 RedHienz Slightly sinister sounding? Strange comment me thinks, I don't have Scott Davidsons phone number and I don't know where he lives Its not as if I can ring him any time or any day and say what about these recordings 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been in touch with him and he said they have the ability to copy VHS videos and also have an A2 size scanner and is interested to have a chat with you @Never to the dark side it would be amazing for Bristol City Heritage and the club to copy what you have and means it will be available for a very long time to come Is it OK to pass on your email and contact number to Scott please? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your second paragraph just shows the rose tinted glasses effect on nostalgia doesn't it? Players become so much better (or worse) in our memories depending on which memories we retain.

Fair play to bristol view, he/she seems to slowly archiving their video collection. According to the highlights, we seemed to have one shot on target in the first half (if you'd even call it that), and none in the second. I remember being their for a fantastic Dave Ronnie goal one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We held firm for 89 mins vs their excellent side, Quinn and Phillips up front. Then.. Then there was the penalty that wasn't v Birmgihsm in April, they kept replaying it over and over on screens in the concourse at the end of the game. Between the two was the game at West Brom funnily enough, playing on until they scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being their for a fantastic Dave Ronnie goal one year. I remember us winning up there something like 3-0 or 3-1. Gary Marshall had the game of his life. IIRC we had an awful run of away games, something like Boro, Grimsby, York and some other far flung northern outpost all in about a month.
