Louis Carey - West Brom

[Tim S]

City legend and record appearance holder, Louis Carey, is hosting a coach to the West Brom game on Sunday 22nd December.

It's a twist on the usual "An evening with" style of event by combining it with coach travel to an away game. Louis will be sharing stories on the mic from his City career, many of them both hilarious and interesting as well as answering questions from fans throughout the journey before joining fans in the away end at The Hawthorns.

After the game, he'll give his thoughts on the match during the trip back to Bristol, hopefully after a decent result!

Tickets are just £30 - only a fraction more than the official CATS coaches - but you get Louis Carey thrown in too!

Places are limited as there is only one Louis Carey to go around so therefor only one coach with the unique away day opportunity!

West Brom match tickets are on sale from tomorrow, so secure your travel early to avoid disappointment!

Plus, there is another one of these trips planned in the new year with a very big name lined up... join us on this trip for the chance to get priority on the next trip.

I wonder if Carey will be more appreciated as years go on. He’s our record appearance holder but I think fans are a bit ‘meh’ to him. 
 

Not sure many will want to share a coach with him.

Apparently he’s got awful wind. Lives on a heavily processed diet and drinks Guinness. Stand anywhere downwind of him and it’s torture.

Close. Who wants a share a coach with a man who wears a hat indoors?

Thought he was Vegan, Guinness isn’t very vegan friendly

 the whole hat thing is weird....other than during an actual football match I've never seen him not wearing a hat or cloth cap.

Sounds great! Thanks for the heads up

[Never to the dark side]

Its a great idea,so I suggest getting all the seats turned round(not including the driver of course) so Louis is at the back of the coach and the wind can then dissipate out the back door.

Maybe on the return a recording of the Alamo match from Wednesday 17th March 1976 could be played/shown which more or less took us up to the top flight

[Oh Louie louie]

Louis would make a good coach steward anybody plays up they get the jack Lester treatment, on a serious note fair play to him for doing this

I think a lot didn’t appreciate how he was allowed to take Atyeo’s appearance record with some very cheap substitute appearances at the end of his career 

[sglosbcfc]

Fantastic player and I am sure he has many, many great City related stories.

Yep, agreed. I like him as a player but he’s not exactly a footballing hero.

He himself even feels very embarrassed by it, and has no City memorabilia from his playing days shown anywhere in his house!

You would never understand a word he says on the mic anyway.

Especially the very last one where he came on for the final 5 minutes in midfield

He earned it. 

Bloke played with a broken skull. He literally bled for the badge. Nose half way across his face, head where if hurts no matter what. 

My favourite ever player. 

[alexukhc]

Liverpool fan, Bristol’s second team innit?

Absolutely. One of the last generation of old school captains where it was about putting your body on the line for the cause and leading by example.

I think that was only cos there was a few thousand who couldn’t work out how to pronounce his name proper like. Still remember some bloke in the Dolman who used to blast out ‘Louie!!!’ every time he came near.

I’m still fuming he was arguing with the ref in the phase leading up to their winner in the freight rover. I still think he had a bit to much to say in and out of the dressing room during his time.

No he didnt earn it.

IMO of course.

[Tony Tootle]

I liked him as a player but agree with others, he can hardly be classed as a Bristol City legend. Also I know that in private he was a bit of a **** in the past. Perhaps he’s changed.

[Mallorcan Red]

Knew his Dad, met Louis and his lovely partner then wife a few times at the pub where his Dad was best mates with the landlord.

Proper Bristol, absolutely City through and through. Captained our best league team since the seventies. Even though he had his fair share of injuries still ended up with club record appearances.

He certainly has a spot in any team of all time City greats.
