Jerseybean Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Another Friday night under the lights at Ashton Gate. On 3 May, with four games of their season left, they appointed Big Sam: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/teams/leeds-united At the time they had 30 points and occupied 17th place. They ended up in 19th place and were relegated with 31 points. In July he was replaced by Daniel Farke. A game against Leeds United always provides me with one of my happiest Bristol City memories. For younger fans, it’s important to point out that at the time this happened Leeds were practically invincible. If you like the comparison today would be Manchester City. They had played 29 First Division games that season without losing a single one and were destined to win the title by a clear five points. We played them in February 1974 in the fifth round of the FA cup. It finished all square at Ashton Gate, and I was lucky enough to attend the replay at Elland Road, a game we won one nil thanks to a Donnie Gillies goal. See photo of programme. I was pretty wet behind the ears and young at this time, and when we scored, I went absolutely berserk. I swiftly realized that nobody in the section of the ground where I was moved. Yes, I’d managed to plant myself right in the middle of thousands of Leeds fans, the attendance was 47,182. Somehow I got away with my life and always look back on that game as one of my most memorable Bristol City memories. It was quite an evening and I remember it being featured on the national evening television news, that’s how much of a shock the result was. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-flashback-invincible-leeds-3845168 https://youtu.be/6Th1peqmkHk Our head-to-head record is shocking: Won: 8 Lost: 26 Drawn: 9 We lost 2-1 at Elland Road back in October: https://video.leedsunited.com/video/dm9kJTdDMF9ncDEwaHJieSU3QyUyRnBhZ2UlM0ZzbHVnJTNEaG9tZSU3Q2hvbWUlMkZsaXN0JTJGMCUyRmZlZWQ%3D Officials Stephen Martin is set to take charge.The Staffordshire based official is the son of former Premier League referee Andy, who officiated during the 1990s. He is part of the Select Group 2 list of referees and has been an EFL match official since the 2012/13 campaign. Martin last took charge of Leeds in December, overseeing the 4-0 Sky Bet Championship victory over Ipswich Town at Elland Road. In total, Martin has refereed Leeds seven times in his career and the Whites have never lost, winning six matches and drawing once. In those matches, eight Leeds players were booked, whilst Joe Rodon was sent off earlier this season for a second yellow card, against Hull City in September. Martin last took charge of Bristol City for their 1-0 victory over Sunderland in December. This will be the 24th time he has taken charge of us, with the Robins winning 10, drawing six and losing seven when Martin has refereed. He has issued 28 yellow cards and one red card to Bristol City players. 2023/24 stats Games (all competitions): 14 Yellow cards issued: 80 Red cards issued: 2 Other match officials Assistant referees: Mark Dwyer and Greg Read Fourth official: Keith Stroud Luke Ayling (now at Boro) enjoyed his time at Leeds and many think we made a huge mistake selling him so cheaply (reportedly £200k) https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/leeds-united-are-still-enjoy-the-benefits-of-lee-johnsons-six-figure-bristol-city-mistake-view/ Both the late Norman Hunter and Terry Cooper became fans favourite for both clubs and England. After 540 Football League appearances and 726 in total for Leeds, Bite yer Legs signed for us on 28 October 1976 for £40,000, and remained for three years, making 108 league appearances (122 in total) and scoring four goals. Terry Cooper became our manager in July 1982 just five months after we had narrowly avoided going out of business due to crippling financial problems. This tells you all you need to know about TC and his love of BCFC, https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/my-club-terry-cooper/ In January they unexpected ended Djed Spence's loan spell. Spence, 23, returned to Spurs after making seven appearances for the West Yorkshire side. Crysencio Summerville is in with a chance of returning while Daniel James and Pascal Struijk are both injured. They are third in the Championship form table, having won their last four games and losing the two prior. The brother-in-law of a teenager killed in a tragic and 'senseless' attack has called for a two-minute applause to be held at Ashton Gate during Bristol City's match against Leeds United this weekend. Mason Rist and Max Dixon were stabbed to death on Saturday, January 27 in Knowle West. Connor Parr, brother-in-law of 16-year-old Max Dixon, has called on two football teams to hold a two-minute tribute for both teenagers at a Bristol City game on Friday (February 2). Connor has asked for a round of applause to be held from the 15th minute to the 17th minute of the match, to commemorate the lives of Max and Mason. As part of Green Football Weekend City are calling all supporters attending the game to consider making a donation to St Mungo’s. St Mungo’s is a homelessness charity that runs hostels and emergency accommodation which gives people the space they need to recover as well as helping people to learn new skills, find jobs and reconnect. They provide food, clothing and shelter for people who are sleeping rough. Supporters can bring donations that fit the criteria of each charity to Ashton Gate Stadium and drop off at our donation point. The donation point will be located inside the concourse at A8 – which is located opposite the Independence Sports bar from inside the concourse. Donations will take place from when the turnstiles open until kick-off. As part of Green Football Weekend and Project Whitebeam, the AG3 service from Bristol Temple Meads via the city centre will be free of charge for this fixture. We will be running an enhanced matchday shuttle bus service will operate as follows: AG1 Portway Park & Ride (via Portway) – approx. every 10 minutes AG2 Brislington Park & Ride (direct service) – approx. every 12 minutes AG3 Temple Meads (via Broadmead and the centre) – approx. every 12 minutes All services drop-off and collect from Winterstoke Road, outside Ashton Gate. Full details including route maps, timetables, pricing and ticket information is available at www.bcfc.co.uk/travel.

Leeds facts Leeds gave the UK the internet Founded in 1998, Freeserve – the first-ever British internet service provider (ISP) – had a great role to play in UK’s renovation. In the year 2000, it was bought by a French Telecom firm called Wannadoo for £1.65 billion. In 2004, Freeserve was rebranded as Wannadoo UK plc. But today, it’s known as EE’s broadband service. Leeds has the oldest running commercial railway in the world Middleton Colliery Railway is the world’s oldest running public railway, situated in Leeds. It was established in 1758 to transport coals to neighboring quarries. But today, it’s a railway operated to re-create history and events. It’s kept in form over the years by friendly volunteers and locomotives. You can ride the same tour from Moor Road to Park Halt Station, and just explore the Middleton park museum. Leeds helped build America’s most famous buildings Benjamin Henry Latrobe, a neoclassical architect from Leeds was one of the most impactful architects in America. Although he was British, he made several impressive works in the Washington DC, USA. His works include redesigning the United States Capitol building and America’s first Roman Catholic Cathedral. Additionally, Latrobe’s work in the US involved several architectural projects, including town planning, landscaping, and sewage works. It has one of the biggest parks in Europe Roundhay Park in Leeds is now one of the most popular parks in Europe. Created by William the Conqueror, its ownership passed on to the De Lacy family. Succession saw ownership of Roundhay Park pass to John of Gaunt, then his son Henry IV.Located in the Northern part of Leeds, in Oakwood, it covers over 700 acres of rolling parkland with woodlands, lakes, and playground. Should you find yourself in Leeds anytime, join the nearly one million people that visit the park annually. The world’s first-ever films were made in Leeds Undoubtedly true; cinema is one of the most notable kinds of entertainment in the world today. Over the years, there have been distinguishing upgrades in the industry. And yet, the humble beginnings of the motion pictures trace back to Leeds. The very first motion pictures were shot in a garden in Roundhay in 1888, by a Frenchman named Le Prince. While it’s true that the origin of the film traces back to Thomas Edison and the Lumiere Brothers, historians believe Le Prince existed in the game before them. Leeds has the world’s largest animal armour Talking about animals, the Royal Armouries is home to incredible collections of Arms and Armor. Among other artefacts, the elephant armour is the most impressive. It was acquired in India by Lady Clive, wife of Governor of Madras, and moved to Britain in 1801. The armour currently holds the title as the world’s biggest animal armour and weighs about 118 kilograms. Presently, it comprises six elements: a shaffron, three panels for the left of the body, a throat defence, and one central panel for the right. It’s also worth mentioning it comprises about 5,840 plates at the moment. Leeds pioneered x-ray technology The residents of Leeds surely have several innovative developments to be proud of; and the x-ray is one of them. Sir William Henry Bragg discovered the structure of X-rays at the University of Leeds. His works have birthed discoveries, including using X-rays to reveal hidden injury in humans and the structure of DNA. In 1915, Bragg and his son William received a Nobel Prize in Physics for their invention of the X-ray spectroscope. Designed the first country maps of England A Yorkshire surveyor named Christopher Saxton was the first person to map the Counties of England and Wales together. He was appointed by Queen Elizabeth I’s right-hand man – William Cecil, Lord Burghley – as the Royal cartographer. Using the already available information and improving its accuracy on the earth, he crafted the counties on a map. Leeds has the longest-running West Indian Carnival in Europe Leeds West Indian Carnival is the longest-running event in Europe and has been going since 1967. It’s the first to feature all three important attributes of Caribbean Carnival, music, masquerade scene, and costumes. It’s a three-day event that starts and ends in Potternewton Park in Chapeltown. Activities include a parade of floats and dancers along the streets of Roundhay and Barrack road, as well as music and refreshment. 7 6 1 Quote Link to comment

Great view of Fear's equaliser. Wasn't allowed to go to Leeds for the replay, listened to the radio as we played football in the local school playground. I had the cuttings for years until I stupidly threw away all scapbooks and saved stuff. I remember this one though. I fancy us to do well , I'd take the 1-0 with thanks . 3 1 Quote Link to comment

It was the only time I can recall a crowd that made me think - 'this is a bit too much'. I can vaguely remember the crush very soon before the start when the away fans moved in behind us. One of the Liverpool fans needed a pi55 and just did it behind us on the terrace so it ran down the concrete under our feet and stank the rest of the game. Nice. I don't recall any problems with Leeds that day at home. Of course ManU smashed up the area when we beat them in Div2. Maybe Yorkshire folk are better behaved?

SPAZZA Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Hello!! As usual I’ll be sitting on my hands somewhere amongst you!!! Usually I’m fairly confident of a win, but we’ve ended the window in a weaker place than we started and our fullback issues are all for everyone to see. Still playing 17 year old Gray at RB (although we just signed Roberts on loan last night so may not be going forward), Gray not a RB and had some issues against you targeting him earlier in the season. LB…well, Firpo has never fancied playing in England. An absolutely shite defender and an okay attacker seems injured for half a season each year, awful signing by Orta. Byram however excellent at this level is also made of paper and hasn’t played more than 20 league games for what is probably a decade, in our wisdom we didn’t feel LB is an issue…!!! Except the fans have been screaming it’s an issue for years. Due to Gray being at RB we play two DMs in midfield that completely narrows down our attacking threat to 4 players who I think with some clever doubling up in places can be held off. In addition, if we do end up going 1-0 up…don’t despair, we then turn into this arrogant lack of intensity bunch of posers that don’t want to finish a game off. I’m not confident about tonight at all and I think you will get the 3 points or at the very least score a late equaliser. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
