Oh Louie louie

Last time i listened to us, on freeview out of bristol, was in torquay, in a hotel. Think it came up as radio somerset,

Yes, that was the first time i saw reading, come in big numbers. I recall a game, against them, when nigel hawkins scored, late 80s. And A block was empty.

Yes, there was a pub on york road. Used to work with a bloke used to drink there. He told me was a bikers, pub and all the bikes used to be parked outside. One pub, i used to go in now and again after a away game, was the blarney stone, in st werburghs. That went i dunno, at least ten years ago.

Also in that era, i can recall reading bringing loads to a end of season game. Think they were gong well, and i recall a bit of grief on ashton road. Pretty sure it was last day of the season, and somebody saying the reading fans had cb radios.

Yes, last day of the season. Brentford had to get something to stay up. They brought loads that day, they filled the old open end.

It shames me to admit, i was one of the hundreds,in the grandstand Chanting at the bottom of the ladder. Shit your pants. Then we got you surrounded! Some said he was gas, others swindon.

The one song sang at both grounds, or maybe 3. We all agree, roger malones a..........

Best random one. Feed the welsh, to the tune of feed the world, the day wrexham were going bust. Terry christian, even joined in, listening to the phone in on the way home.

Another game sticks in my mind. Mansfield at home, never saw such a one sided game. Was a draw, i think gavin came on, took the ball past 5 players, and either scored or crossed it for someone?

Devon white was impossible to mark. The game we should have took 3 points from, was the draw with huddersfield at home. Think nicky morgan just joined, or made his debut. Was a night game

Uefa, actually call some of these firms, partners, not sponsors! Betting firms and beer.

I didnt even know he sold it! I think the betting offers they do at half time for instance, is much more tempting to have a bet, I think thats encouraging, to someone to bet more, than a team being sponsored by ladbrokes for example. If they are going to ban this on shirts, may as well ban the adverts.

Only fancy dress i went to was the junior reds gig of 1985. Went in a green jumper, and a swimming cap, i was john shaw! Terry cooper even paid me a compliment!

Dont keep us in suspense, what you going as marcus?

Everytime i watch a game on sky, every other advert is for betting. In the world cup, it was beer. I wonder if mr murdoch, will stop that?

There used to be one over old market, on the main drag. I dunno about now tbh

They have connections, to those snappy dressers chas and dave. We once had the keyboard player from bros, running the gaff!

My grandad, used to collect peoples bets in hotwells in those days,nogbag. He was known as tracker thomas, Him and a gentleman called george workman, used to run the bare knuckle fights. Used to hear some amazing storys.

Spot on nogbad, many of the people who lived in the houses, got relocated to lawrence weston. Was there a book, the lost pubs of bristol? If there isnt there should be. Would love to see some pictures of that pub.

There was a city player involved that night, and it was a big thing at the time. I cant recall who. Gary marshall? Anybody?

I can recall, rovers used to give luckwell school, free tickets in the early to mid 80s. I think one person went. Only free tickets i recall, the school, getting from city, was a england vs turkey under 21 game at the gate about 85.

Yes, i reckon the crown and anchor shut early 90s. My grandad used to drink in one called the swansea arms at the start of the portway.

What was the brown pub,end of hotwells rd, before the hill? Still got the outside of a pub now. The crown?

If you asked a neutral, who do you fancy to get sacked in the bottom divsion this week.. You would only get one name.

If the fans turn against you, and you are in the bottom 3. Its only a matter of time. Even over there.
