Never to the dark side Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 or even the Green Uns involving Bristol City football events? The ones I would like to get hold of, or even copies or the approx dates are In the DAF final against Bolton a Bristol City fan in Australia paid someone in Bristol to have their two land line phones connected so an audio of the match could be heard down under Glyn Riley when his wife accidentally taped over a tape which had all the goals he had scored on, Jed pitman of HTV fame saw his(GR) plight and put together another tape of GR goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Your a Gent, that will save me a few hours looking for the Glyn Riley article. Now I just need that telephone audio to Australia,the Bolton game was played on Saturday 24thMay 1986 So I presume it would have been in and around that time May 1986 there was no proper Green Un Green Uns were publish up to 1979 and then restarted again in 1997 So it would have been an article in the Evening Post/Western daily press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red DNA Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Are old EP newspapers no longer available at the Central Library? I’m thought they used to have copies from years ago that you could research and copy off, unless it was just national papers they had there?

I’m thought they used to have copies from years ago that you could research and copy off, unless it was just national papers they had there? The newspaper section used to be in the basement of the Central Library. That went years ago when the Cathedral School needed somewhere for its junior school. Probably almost all of the old copies will have been digitised by now (assuming that they weren’t just binned) while God knows what you would keep from the click bait that is now Bristol Live. The internet has been the death of local journalism but the reality is that very few people now know what is going on in their local area whether it’s sport, politics or other things that affect their lives. And that’s a sad reflection of how some things have not improved in the past 20-30 years. Edited January 22 by Dr Balls 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Still can’t believe I missed the Final in 1986. Student at Leeds University- last finals exam on Friday 23rd- ticket and coach booked. 21st birthday Sunday 25th. Then someone noticed that ‘the computer’ had scheduled the ‘Modern Jewish History’ final for 1030 on Saturday 24th. There followed a protracted bru ha, as, not surprisingly, most students of Jewish history were actually Jewish, settled by the simple expedient of rescheduling, by swapping my Friday paper with the Saturday exam. It seemed unwise to protest and that was that. Did, of course, make the 87 final v Mansfield, which we naturally buggered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 If you know somebody with the Genealogy website Findmypast on subscription, they have all Evening Posts filmed up to the 1990s. Would be easy to find this article with a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he still has them as otherwise he will give them to someone who will clear the house. Edited January 22 by Rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
