Born in Cornwall but brought up in Somerset. Never going to be anything other than a Gashead after experiencing the adrenalin rush of my first game at Twerton when I was 8. Lived all around the UK in my twenties and then in Redfield for a while before meeting the missus and moving up country, first to Leicester and now to Leeds, where I work as a carpet fitter. Do you mean a kitchen fitter? Ah that’s what it was! I misremembered

Born and brought up in Kingswood, but my Grandad was born in Gadshill Road ,Eastville a stones throw away from our spiritual home. He was a season ticket holder for years , so I started going to reserve games with him and then league matches at Eastville in the South Stand. . There can’t be many football fans that say they watch there team in a worse stadium now than when they started.

Born in Bristol and lived there til I was 18 before I started wandering. Oxford, Eastbourne, London, Barcelona until I quit my job and went to Sydney for a holiday. Ended up staying in Sydney for 5 years and met a lovely Australian girl. Finally moved back to London where we lived for 8 years, during which time we got married and had kids. Now been back in Sydney for 5 years. Kids love it, and so do it. But hard to follow Rovers (kick off is 2am on a Saturday) and I really miss Bristol. Would love to move back one day...

View AttachmentWent I walked across your famous nearby landmark,there was a footy game going on directly below. We live just up the road from the Aqueduct,it's a World Heritage site and the most incredible piece of engineering. Yep it's bizarre to watch the football from 200 ft above the pitch.
