madmax Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Cycled to work and went through Ashton Gate and just to witness what was going on was mental enough for me! Went to buy some toast from local cafe and the workmen in there from Landan, were talking about the game and how mad Bristol has gone for it. Went to Subway lunchtime on Corn Street and loads of people all in different conversations were talking about it. Got back to work and now on here....it's mental....absolutely mental.

It seems this game is more anticipated in Bristol than the Champions League final! Even people that don't like football are talking about Saturdays game. I think even secretly there is a few gas heads that want us to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
