Clive with the long black hair ? bit of a character to say the least !

Used to get on at the centre with a couple of mates from Winterbourne and some other lads from Thornbury.

we all used to go to every match home and away back in those days true supporters, me and taffy ran the coaches and we kept the prices to the lowest to encourage the support the price of the coach was divided by the numbers on it normally full, so the big games we took 2 coaches, we started at shirehampton then onto lawrence weston henbury southmead and then down to the centre and collected as many as we could get on the coach, even the driver was a nut case, and always up for a laugh with us lot,

one night coming back from london the whole coach load of us got arrasted they put us 15 to a cell and we were all singing till 5 in the morning. even the driver got locked up, the police escort back to london was like a blue light police demonstration.

one of the lads on the picture Dean, the last i heard of him he joined the s.a.s. he was a right hard nut,

I remember loads of faces on here. and they were brilliant times.

Backing the 80s me and my mate got in tow with man & wife they use to hire a mini bus and go to all the away matches, the man use to own a club and the woman was a stiper we had a lot of good times.

I remember us stoping for a pee and the wife walked in front sizing us all up saying your to small and so on.

I had to stop in the end after one game going home and sleeping for 18 hours my wife said it was them or her and i choose her dam.

This needs to be put in a book, great stories, truly enjoyable to read.

Gets better then, who remembers or know the great John Dollymead???

Not sure spelt his name right, but my god what a legend. Was always at away games, always with the same mob of lads, always enjoyed his company.

Quick story, went to Gillingham few years ago, got into the away end about ten past three as usual. Their mob in the stand to the left hand side, shouting and screaming things at us.

Sat in the middle, reading a programme, eating a pastie and with a massive grin on his face, John.

Quality mate quality. Whers he to now :dunno:

I remember when we beat the Gas at the Gate a few years back, I think it was Louis Donawa scored in the last minute against Nigel Martin at the open end right in front of the Gas 'eds, it was the first time we had beaten them for about 7 or 8 matches, me and me brother Garf were sat in dolman block B going absolutely mental, and once we had calmed down, we spotted "Dolly" walking across the pitch towards the Gas, all on his own, stood right by the metal fencing and lifted his shirt to show the Gas his tatto on his chest as he was banging on the railing, it was superb, the Gas were just stood there amazed (and absolutely gutted) looking at him, we often mention that, it was just pure joy.

John Doddymead, not really about anymore, started going to odd games and going down the lions now and then recently but havent seen him, used to go to alot of away games with him and my dad plus a few others, it was a good laugh. Few names mentioned on here who are nice people (Beanie, Angus, Sean D Hmm, I bet there's a smilie on here that conveys laughter but I'm too lazy to look for it. and a few others) good thread and a good job
