My god what a night that was we went there after Bristol city game in the seventies I had an accident with a pint pot my nose was hanging off good old George McGuire nearly pulled it off checking it lol I was taken to hospital and my mate Pete bell(rip) got run over chasing after the ambulance sure it was the branches opening night Willie donachie was a guest the good old days

That was our gala night after the Bristol City away game; 200 blues accommodated across Cheltenham and Gloucester that day with transport to the game and the evening at Gloucester City's social club, best part of 500 overall and the extra mob of Blues on the Godfrey Abbott buses that hijacked the evening!! Mad old night that was! I got a cider bottle across my nose for my efforts off a Blue who was bolloxed and wanted his chicken and mushy peas meal that had run out and he had snuck in!! Only 17 at the time!! Lol! good job it bounced off!!!

Mixed feelings about Supporters Clubs, me. On one hand I've gone to Villa away without a ticket and been in touch all day with someone from a SC and he came through about ten minutes before kick off with a ticket for me, also been given a lift home back from away games from them when I didn't initially go down with them as trains home were difficult. But on the other hand one season I went to about seven away games with them and I've never seen a single Loyalty Point added to my total from those games and one year I booked a flight to Hamburg knowing I had enough points for a ticket but when I rang the club to book one they said I'd already bought one(???)- turned out the SC had used my ticket earlier that day to buy a ticket for someone else and I couldn't buy another from the club.

Some Supporters Clubs aren't about anything, speaking from personal, bad, experience. Bad enough that we've approached the OSC to find out how to go about setting one up ourselves so that we can do a proper job.
