22A Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 It's only Tuesday and they're already discussing this Saturday's game; https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/156283-bristol-city-saturday/ For possibly our biggest game of the season to date ( Ipswich aside ) I amazed at the number of tickets still available, just 4 days away, with plenty of doubles and the section next to the away area ( I assume has not been available to long ) almost totally available. Big game this one. Bristol are right near the top of the form table so we'll have to be at our best. Surprised it's not completely sold out. Regardless of the opposition, every game for us is massive from now on. It’s only recently been made available. Looks like Bristol will be bringing relatively few fans with them.

I see there are 400 left, I thought the allocation was 1600 so 1200 is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 This match will also be involved in a documentary that is being made about one of their former players, Tony Powell. If you're attending you could immortalised in film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Done Norwich a few times , like people say fair old trek by car but a decent away day I’ve always gone by train , also stayed in Lowestoft for the weekend with the mrs once , train station right by the ground , some decent pubs , Norwich fans pretty decent , stop off in London for a drink or 2 on the way home if you wish , I would say one of the better away trips but we do generally lose , can remember winning there one year 3-1 I think Trundle 2 & Bradley Orr , might be wrong but that’s how I remember it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the name was mentioned, I thought “blond lockes”. Bizarre to remember a player when I was 7/8, and can’t remember what I had for tea! No idea he was from Bristol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 17 hours ago, redkev said: Tony Powell , Bristol lad from Lawrence Weston if I remember correctly , lived couple of doors away from my Nan That's right, yep. I met him recently and he said he always wanted to play for City as he was a fan, but City never came in for him. Probably could have used him back then? 14 hours ago, FNQ said: Correct.. went to school there with his sister Denise.

They do now otherwise you wouldn’t have seen numerous academy lads step up in recent years. Norwich aren’t allowed by FA rules to scout in this area now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
