Bristol roll call

About as enthusiastic about travelling 30 minutes to watch us on sky against a side rattled with injuries, setting up to defend our dicks off for a point and still losing as I am about having 6 teeth pulled out.

Oh and I'm paying 33 quid for the privilege. No idea how those from Blackpool are wanting to come down for a 12.30 kick off playing the way we are, it's vile to watch.

It’s what we’ve always done , good and bad times that’s watching the Pool !
 
Bristol Airport closed for snow.
Will it affect our game?
Please don't say 'We're not playing at the Airport. 😉

Apart from the Riga/Clark season. Absolutely no hope that season from the first game.

I'll rephrase it, it's the worst quality with the standard of player we have. I've written that era off in my head as it was mystery players signed per week to have a shot.

A dedicated fan will travel in any division.
 
Already here. Having a trip out to Castle Coombe tomorrow with my daughter who's here at Uni. Some good record shops here too, I'm hoping to bring back a fair few nice bits of vinyl along with 3pts come Saturday. 😀
 
Heavy Snow fell again in the southwest overnight Bristol airport currently closed being assessed at 11:00.

Let’s hope the game gets played.
 
Headed to the waterfront last season where there were loads of Pool fans in the spoons. A few other nice pubs round there, so thats where ill be heading tomorrow (at about 9.30am it seems).

Don’t stand still by the waterfront, you might get thrown in, they’ve got form for it there
 
Lets hope all the expense, time and devotion the travelling hoards have expended are rewarded with 3 points. They deserve it. 👋
