Never to the dark side Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 I presume the stand on the far had been condemned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Just now, Never to the dark side said: I presume the stand on the far had been condemned? No, it was the snowy, frozen slip hazard terraces. 'ealth and Safety. Also, Hull had no need for that side, they hadn't needed it for the 20 preceeding seasons, and they wouldn't need it for the following 10/12 seasons, not with average crowds of 4 - 6,000. To think they would go on to spend 8 - 8! - seasons in Div 4 but still get to the top before us. Hull were absolute tinpot, dog sh*t back then. Good side we had that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 I remember listening to this game on the radio at home as an 8 year old. It was just a couple of weeks before the Louie Donawa derby game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 So when did radio commentarys start to change? I think it started with second half commentary of the away Bristol side Then full radio 90 minute commentary of the away Bristol team Then home and away 90 minute commentaries I have no time zone dates,if you have,can you post? Would any one have audio recordings of any Bristol City games from way back? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Looking at that game we were about the same position in the league as we are now but the standard of football is much higher now, probably due to better pitches and facilities, there is so much more money in the game now. The only thing that's probably worse is the atmosphere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 A lasting memory of that day is, walking into a Pub in the centre of Hull and there was just one drinker. An older lady with a headscarf and a Whippet . It was like a scene from Andy Capp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I remember a match circa 73. City won 2:1. Terry Neil was playing for them. City had a corner routine Geoff Merrick got on it, but Hull cleared off the line for another corner. City ran exactly the same routine at the ensuing corner but this time Merrick scored. Anyone else there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
