Think it was 76/77 under Tony Book, finished the season runners up to dippers. May have got 2 seasons mixed up though

You are correct with your season BBS. We went toe to toe with the red dippers for the Division One title that season and ultimately lost out by a single point.
We lost to Utd home and away and lost to Liverpool away and drew with them at home 1-1,a Dave Watson home goal I seem to remember.
The last great City team until the last 12 years in my opinion.

Edit.
I forgot that we got beat by Derby County 4-0 at the Baseball Ground.
The sheep shagging twats.
That was one of those days where " The Bitterest Pill I Ever Had To Swallow" was the best phrase to describe my emotions and feelings.

Here are pubs near to Ashton Gate that away fans head for:


For decent pubs which are not necessarily near the ground, see this list: https://thegoodpubguide.co.uk/?s=&gpg=Bristol&pub_category=2-worth-a-visit


The Good Pub Guide recommends the Highbury Vaults which isn’t near the ground: https://thegoodpubguide.co.uk/pub/116376/bs2+8de/highbury+vaults/

Hello from a Bristol City fan in peace.

Ahead of our forthcoming FA cup game on 28/2 I’m putting together the opening post for our forum’s (One Team in Bristol, https://www.otib.co.uk/?_fromLogin=1) match thread, which will be posted the day before the match.


I would like to include some perspectives from your fans so if anybody would like to share info please do, anything would be appreciated, memories of past games, players such as Gerry Gow who represented both clubs, tales from when we met in Carabao Cup in 2018, a fans view on your season, etc, etc.

Look forward to receiving info and to a great game under the lights at Ashton Gate.

Great club and great city, used to watch them regularly when at uni down there from 89-93, which coincided with a memorable few years for the club
A titanic battle between city and rovers for the old third division title led to some mental derby games, pitch invasions, the lot
A decent gas side led by Gary Penrice’s goals pipped the robins to the title but both ended up being promoted, a great year for the entire city
City were much better than rovers once promoted. The Polish international Dariusz ‘Jackie’ Dziekanowski came in from Celtic and became an instant maverick cult hero. He was teamed up with a young lad who couldn’t make the breakthrough at Arsenal, name of Andy Cole. That partnership remains legendary there to this day.
They were definitely a fun team to go and watch when I couldn’t afford the trip home to watch the real City
Remember particularly memorable games around that time v Leicester, when Jackie was unplayable, and knocking Chelsea out of the cup at Ashton Gate
Pretty sure The Goat and Andy Cole were both top scorers for a season at both clubs
Andy May also played about 100 games there
And of course Gerry Gow, one of three quite frankly odd looking Scotsmen signed by John Bond (along with Tommy Hutchison and Bobby McDonald from Coventry) who were cheap gambles but proved to be utterly transformative, and instant cult heroes. Took us from relegation certainties to Wembley

The Ostrich on the harbour and the Portwall Tavern (painted blue!) not far from St Marys Recliffe/Temple Meads are both great pubs wit good beer selections and decent food

I like a good pub crawl as much as the next man but Jesus, it’s going to take some doing to get round that lot in one afternoon.
