City Rocker Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 3 hours ago, 22A said: In the next issue of the Greenun, Colin stated he was still living in Bristol and going home after the game and smiling as he passed all those cars with blue & white scarves. City were home to Arsenal that afternoon and lost 2 - 0. I'll always remember the moment we were all trooping out after the game, while the announcer read out the full time scores. Then it came.... "Tottenham 9...." BS3 resounded with the loudest cheer of the day, and much hilarity ensued. Oh, how we laughed 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a legal requirement as we are using a third party to sell, or selling on behalf of someone else in some cases, eg concerts, CATS etc But if you buy a membership there is a booking fee. Would of thought there is no need for a third party to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is desperate stuff. The self-proclaimed greatest fans in the whole world have barely raised a murmur apart from on the one or two occasions they`ve got in the Cobblers half. God help us if we ever end up back down in that dead man`s league. I don`t think I can bear the second half TBH, might switch over to Exeter v Rotherham.
