Lanterne Rouge Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Prompted by me seeing a post lady delivering the mail in Menheniot in south Cornwall today who was wearing a City beanie hat I later saw a BT Openreach van parked on the A38 Saltash roundabout with Wrexham FC written in the grime on the back. Anyone else got any they`ve seen and thought `WTF`? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Saw a City sticker of some kind a while back in New Cross Inn, which isn't really a football pub when I was round there on a weekend with friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Also reminds me, me and said friend for chatting to the barman in Bethnal Green about Spring 2022. Non football related but turned out he is a City fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 I know this isn't what the thread is asking but it brought it to mind. In the late nineties in London I had a member of staff whose landlord was Kevin Nugent's brother, I said to pass on my admiration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG City Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Went back to a beach hut on a Thai island with a Swedish worldie in 2007. Someone had scratched Bristol City FC in the wall above the bed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I've never lived remotely near Bristol so any Bristol City random encounters have been rare, but one was the night after the Man U League Cup game I had my work Xmas Party in central London where we had a bar rented out. I was stood nearish the door and a guy came in wearing a Bristol City scarf. I had never seen him before in my life and it turns out he was one of the field team from up North, had been to the game the night before and then come to the Xmas do. We got smashed singing about Korey Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathandao Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Went skiing in the Alps and the bar outside our apartment had a Wycombe Wanderers (my local team) flag hung behind the bar. Got talking to the owner and it turned out he grew up in the same village as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 When i was in Malia back in 98 i was in a sports bar and there were team photos on the wall of all the big Premier League and European clubs....down in the corner was the team photo, cut out from a newspaper, of the biggest club of them all in front of the Dolman. Thought that was a bit strange to see so far away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I travelled a lot for work in the late 80s and 90s. Found myself in Nottingham one week, a work colleague from Scotland had a mate who was a pub landlord in the city so we went there for a couple of pints. Turned out the landlord was John Robertson of Forest and Scotland. He pulled the beers, no charge. Cheers John, nice ale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Mid 90s I was driving through Hungary in pouring rain & stopped in a virtually deserted car park near Lake Balaton. About 5 minutes later a minibus pulled up, it was a Hareclive one & a bloke got out of it with a City shirt on. My ex (who had no interest in football) was also in the car at the time, if she hadn’t been there & I’d seen this on my own I’d have thought I was hallucinating.

Med/MadHatter Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 2004, I went to work in Bremen, Germany, on the weekends used to either go watch Werder or do the touristy things. One Saturday me and my mate decided to visit St Petri Dom the big cathedral in the city and climb the towers 250 odd steps to get a better vista of the city, as we climbed the last step to enter the viewing area, right in front of us emblazoned in big letters was " Germany 1 England 5" considering this was a few years after that game I was surprised it hadn't been removed, still it made us laugh and of course we posed for photos :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 About 1982ish me and a mate thought we would go to France to ( well we didn’t know ) after a couple of days of knocking around Dover ( vile place even then ) then a day in Calais then a couple of days in Paris we eventually ( how I never know ) ended up getting a train down to Monaco , the first bar we walked into not far from the station had a big Union Jack behind the bar with Staple Hill Bristol emblazoned across it , needless to say we spent a tad longer in Monaco , about 6 months to be precise working on a yacht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 There`s a council house in Looe that has a huge Derby County flag in the front bedroom window. I also did a survey on an empty house in the middle of Bodmin Moor a couple of years back and one of the kids` bedrooms was decorated as a shrine to the blue few, camp pirate transfers on the wall, the lot. Mind you, the middle of Bodmin Moor is the best place for them I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Was living in New Zealand in the late 80’s, was in work and my Managing director was showing a visitor around, they both walked up to me to chat, and the visitor was wearing a silver Bristol City tie with the Robin crest on the front!. Needless to say, we ended up having a long chat, which I don’t think my MD was too happy about!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
