From the start of the 2020-21 season Hummel have provided Bristol city with some now iconic goalkeeper kits. Legendary Scottish striker Joe Jordan was leading the line for City in my first match and Cooper had brought him to the club intending him to be his successor. After City had missed out on the play-offs several times, Cooper stepped aside in 1988, recommending Joe finally take over. It’s not an understatement to say that Terry Cooper played a huge part in the club’s rebirth and revival. It was such a pity that he couldn’t take that final step to the Second Division which is par for a club like us but he still played a part as it was Joe who finally managed it with a promotion in 89-90.

The Bristol Sport Store at Ashton Gate Stadium will be open from 1pm-10:30pm, with access to fitting rooms.Bristol City was lying in the play-off positions in the old Third Division in the spring of 87. I had no idea at the time but just seven years previously they were in the First Division. I had always assumed we were just a lower division club and no more. Watching Liverpool win the double the previous season and clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal seemed light-years away. When City was relegated in 1980 it was a huge fall from grace. Following the successful introduction of cashless outlets at the stadium towards the end of the 2019/20 season, we will be further extending the operation and going cashless across the stadium. These games would last for hours until we were called in for tea and would only stop to pause when the shout of ‘car’ went up. Although this was a rarity. The ages of the players would range from me at age 6 up to Steve and Andrew who would have been 11. No one supported Rovers. This was south Bristol after all and so it was all about City. I knew from the older boys of the existence of a team called Rovers but they were the enemy I was told. I thought about the name too. Bristol City. Well, Bristol was a City and was where I was from. It sounded from the name that they represented our West-Country home. Rovers sounded like some kind of travelling band or a dog. Little did I know that they would soon be leaving Bristol for Bath. Also, City played in red and it was my favourite colour. Rovers played in blue and that was a colour I never warmed to. Liverpool was the best team in the land and they played in red. It could only have been City for me. Old Bristol City shirts can remind you of certain games including cup wins, memorable goals, and former players.
Fans will still be able to bring smaller handbags into the stadium, although these will be subject to the usual search process. An Ashton Gate spokesman said: “The searching process will always be subject to change and whilst there is no specific threat to any Sports Ground, we must ensure that we remain vigilant and the message to spectators is to ‘Be Alert not Alarmed’.” Away from home the colours vary although lime green and purple is a popular choice amongst supporters. Supporters can reserve a table pre-match at the Independence Bar, formerly the Sports Bar, by booking here.Make the most of your matchday by visiting the new-look Family Area on Level 4 in the Upper Lansdown Stand. It also featured me and I was interviewed in the Three Lions pub. The first question I was asked was how long I had been a City fan and why I chose the club. It was a good question. I didn’t necessarily come from a family that meant I was destined to support City. I loved football as a kid but my Dad was a Geordie that didn’t like football. He is proof that they do exist. Music and science was his thing. My Mum was a Bristolian but football wasn’t her thing either. Her Dad, my Grandfather was a City fan from Taunton in Somerset but he died when I was three years old. I remember him but we were never allowed to get to know each other. My paternal grandfather died before I was born one year after England’s 1966 World Cup triumph. He liked football but being from the north-east his influence was more likely to have been of a Magpie rather than Robin persuasion. My cousin Steve was a big City fan but when I was a kid he was a teenager. No chance of him taking a small child to Ashton Gate to stand on the Eastend with him and his mates. After all, this was the 1980’s. With the stadium sold-out buses may be busy at peak times and journey times longer than usual. We strongly encourage all supporters to get the earliest bus possible and leave plenty of time for your journey.
