The other week for example, I went to B&Q to look at outdoor solutions and some bloke in orange asked me if I wanted 'decking'. I got the first punch in and made good my escape, but with aggressive pensioners standing guard over outdoor seating solutions, it's no surprise some people fib.

Ska Junkie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, BanburyRed said: Used to think that my patch, Hanham, was gashead territory but think now over the years that has changed. My dad still lives in Hanham, his next door neighbour is a saghead, regularly takes delight in taking the mick over the garden fence. Back in the late 80's in my teenage years working part time in Asda, Longwell Green (don't hold that against me, OTIB'ers!), used to frequent the Barrs Court for a Fri eve beverage, remember that being mostly gas? Certainly when the group of us who used to work n socialise together were outed as City, we got unceremoniously told to leave in a pint throwing incident - haven't been back since. I still nip in there for a beer now and again even though it's a curry house now, very pleasant it is too. In those days, when the Barrs was rather lively, it was predominantly gas but it was more like a nightclub that a pub. I've fallen out of there at 5am before. It used to be frequented by banjo's finest and, to be fair, banjo is nigh on 100% gas, even nowadays. As for the 'need 15,000' to break even, that would worry anyone who supports that shower although Henbury ****t probably thinks the Mem can get that many in regardless.

Fair points both, and you're right Archie. I misread the chart and was one season out with the low crowd. Point still stands though that most of the fans City gained in the Div.1 days were off pretty sharpish once we started plummeting - they certainly didn't become long term City fans gained in terms of attending. 1978/79 - 22,306 (Div 1) 1982/83 - 4,799 (Div. 4) 1983/84 - 7,287 (Div. 4 promotion season) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
