I remember playing against Dean Clifford (assume he was Bob’s son?). My first game for Broadwalk was against FF at Hengrove Lane / Harvey’s ground. We lost 15-1 having scored first. I was RB, their LW (Hallett) was far too quick for me - I was playing a year up. Darren was a year younger than me but played up a year, same as Julian (dicks) Dean was indeed bobs done, happy days driving all over Bristol in a battered old minibus overloaded! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our managers were the character Bob Clifford and Harry Peacock, his son Darren went on to play for Newcastle amongst others! I worked with a Bob Clifford a few years ago, he liked his football and think he had trials or played for Crystal Palace, just wondering if it was the same bloke? He was from over Knowle way when I knew him, he died a few years ago (if it's the same one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front row, second left is David Williams, my friend at Patchway High School, which Tim also attended.

Presumably if one don’t they forfeit but what about both? Yes, if one doesn't turn up they forfeit the game. Never been involved in a situation where neither turn up! I guess the referee would report whats happened. If no result was reported, the AYL admin would know. They would probably ask both clubs to explain their actions and there would be some punishment. A possible points deduction, they're pretty strict at grass roots level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Saturday mornings as a kid & then only ever wanted to play on Sundays from my mid teens onwards, because Saturdays were all about watching City. Since I've had my son & he's been of playing age, we have lived in North Somerset & it seems to be Saturday = football, Sunday = Rugby for his age groups around here. 0930 or 1030 kick off times mean we can always make City home games but no chance of away games - so this one being on a Sunday is good for me & anyone else with that schedule - was my point. I'm not questioning if there is kids Sunday football - there just doesn't seem to be around my way. Avon youth league on a Sunday is the biggest league system for youth football in the Bristol area,Saturday football doesn’t come close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Always irritates me when people say this, why would it be more than 1 per season ticket? Members have paid for priority, mates of season ticket holders haven’t. Hope I will get my chance on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest issue will be people buying tickets because they're cheap and then deciding if they'll go closer to the day, so we might sell a lot more than we end up taking.

Seems to be a lot of interest - cheap tickets, first visit to a big and iconic stadium (albeit more for the Olympics than football). Which is why the "can we buy more than one each" posts always boil my p1ss! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am certain that posters using the forum to encourage season ticket holders to make a profit from other supporters is shameful (I'm not talking about you by the way) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
