Cannybluff Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I am guessing he is alluding to them having a full write up in the morning edition. I admit, not bought a paper for years but early editions of the post never used to have a write up. That said it may be nothing to do with this and be as baffling as first appearance.

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Is the Green un still a thing? As a kid I was always impressed how they got a photo printed from the game I had just watched. Felt sorry for the photographer who had to walk away from a match after only 5 mins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father in law is over 80 and still walks to the local shop every day to buy a red top paper. Good on him for keeping fit, however I can guarantee that if I went there now he would tell me it is going to snow tomorrow or be 30degC. Because the paper said so.

I would assume John stayed overnight and got this paper the next morning The obvious answer is they have little other football to fill their pages, though the thread post title is a massive over-reaction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Give a loud Bristolian cheer for the old World evening paper and the great Pink Un, as I remember it more pro City than the Green Un. Bristol’s evening papers used to be on sale at Paddington. Not living in Bristol in the 1960s always my last purchase before returning to university, and reading latest City news. That was when we really signed players for this division, eg Chris Crowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
