Outside the ground today

[Father Jack Hackett]

Good folk the Bristolians. I worked there a bit a few years back. My mates were Gas though but good lads.

 

[SR7]

Good folk down there, even if their accent is shit.

 

[Grimes]

One of them kegged me when I was leaving the ground. I went me length. Never been so embarrassed.

[Skylon]

Was the v flicking manbag fella not bouncing about?

 

[big winnie]

Wembley '85. Thousands of us walked through similar numbers of Norwich fans and, to a man, we applauded each other.

One young lad started mouthing off, got a clip from his fatha, everybody laughed, the kids looked sheepish for a few seconds, joined in with the laughter and that was that.

I gave my scarf to a young Norwich fan in 85……a lot of other SAFC fans did the same

 

[Mr.Thunders]

Saw this also was a bit weird when they embraced and kissed as they’d never met but you can’t fight love

Be on pills

Couple of their fans approached a group of MLF’s and said “well done, all the best for the season” very nice not something you’d usually hear, no bitterness. Really adds to the feel good factor.

Wudnt have happened in the 70s as the two Bristols (fnurrr fnurrr) weren't very welcoming, esp Rovers.

 

[Tuono]

It was a lovely story Seemed a nice club. Their SLO was amazing in the build up too. Got us a parking space right next to that bar near the away end because my daughter had a foot operation on Thursday!!

Wouldn't let me park me bike in there, but he did tell me where to park just around the corner where it was safe.

 

[Unlucky Black Cat]

She is mate, thank you.

She was desperate not to miss the game but can’t walk far, BCFC SLO was class. Sorted us a space for £20 less than 30 metres from the turnstile.

Very good of him, like - but twenty quid FFS! And that's on top of 35 quid match tickets. Robbing tw@s.

 

[Charlestonian]

Every single Bristol fan I spoke to was spot on, it was a class day out.

 

[bagpiperay]

Do we ever do that?

Of course they do. Who wouldn’t wish all the best for a good game and the best team on the day to win? I’ve met opposition fans from every tier of football and they are just like us in Sunderland with the same desire and aspirations for their teams. Treat them with courtesy and respect and, by and large, it is reciprocated.

Same here - very friendly and helpful

 

[Mak70]

Live in the south west and great, friendly people - I’m married to one! Really good to read that this has been such a positive trip off the pitch too. Should’ve been there but in Tenerife … celebrated with a few more from the pool bar.

Exactly

I came home with a Norwich scarf and me da called us a soft shite

 

[Swindon On Tour]

Not friendly when we play each other, hostile for sure.
That includes the Gas.

I guess it’s a kind of Derby that attracts the lunatics from all clubs.

Good folk down there, even if their accent is shit.

Where’s he too?

 

[Ark]

Yes very friendly bunch, in fact one lady asked if I would like to round the back for a quiche. Well I think that’s what she said. Told her I wasn’t hungry.

Where’s he too?

Umpired a match down here with another I'd not stood with before. First thing he said "Where were you to last week then?". And they all shop at Asdal.

 

[Forty]

Bristol City is a cracking awayday.
