Brazil. I'll always be a bit behind actual Bristolians when it comes to Rovers affairs etc but with the internet it's not too hard to keep up with everything. Luckily most games are live during my lunch break as well Where abouts in Brazil are you? Recently did a South America trip and Brazil was pretty full on. No on seems to go to bed!

Downend from birth to age 18, 3 years as a student in Coventry, 10 years living in London, 28 years in West Sussex, moved to Wiltshire 18 months ago after marriage breakup, so I'm much closer to the Theatre of Dreams, BS7.
Now have a new partner in Bracknell so I'm driving back east up the bloody M4 again half the week. She's worth it.

Monks Park boy, but spent 6 & 1/2 years in Rome splitting my time between watching Francesco Totti and Roma and the Gas, moved back for a few years then went off to Lisbon for just over 4 years but managed a dozen plus games each year. Now happily back in Bristol

Shirehampton born and bred.. One of quite a few on here I reckon that rode the train line from Severn Beach to Stapleton Road.
Absolute mayhem on there at times and it always brought us into confrontation on the way home with away fans on the opposite platform at Stapleton Road.. Part of growing up back in the day...
Happy memories of Eastville and of course the Tote End...

Born and raised in St George, moved to Emerson's briefly when I got married then settled in Bradley Stoke.
Regular at Eastville, Twerton and the Mem but sadly can't get to games these days for family reasons. Envious of those who go, miss it.

St George - Whitehall - Easton - Bishopston -stokes Croft - kingsdown - Southville - Bedminster - in that order.
These days if I had the wings of a sparrow And I had the arse of a crow I’d fly over Ashton tomorrow Take very good aim so as to not hit my house And sh** on the bastards below.
I wouldn’t want to live anywhere in England than Bristol .

Luckily most games are live during my lunch break as well I love Brazil I’ve got family in São Paulo and Rio.. First time I ever went abroad was to Brazil , for 6 weeks over Christmas / new year I was about 7 years old and the country just made such an impression on me. We flew back in January left São Paulo in 35 degrees heat and landed at Heathrow in snow - 2. For the first time I knew what it felt like to feel deflated and depressed 😄 I took my wife on our honeymoon too and she loved it , statue of Christ , sugar loaf mountain - great times .

The rash and twitch of living over that side of Bristol for that long will go by 2056....Trust me.I have faith,all will end well. If I am still here in 2056. I will be 99 years of age. And DC will have still been a clueless manager for us and Taylor was always useless up front. Your memory will be shot to sh** by then but you won’t forget that.

Post by Brisbane Rovers on Feb 16, 2020 0:48:04 GMT
Born in Bradford-on-Avon, raised in Bath, lived in Wells for many years, then Andover, moved to Brisbane November last year. Struggle to watch 3pm kick-offs on ifollow as its 1am here, but manage to watch a few evening kick offs as that’s about 6am.
Live near to Suncorp Stadium where the mighty Brisbane Roar play, managed by Robbie Fowler. 12k average attendance in a 52k stadium, terrible atmosphere, no away support (due to distance between the teams) and awful standard. On the upside it’s sunny and you can drink beer while watching the match. Would swap for west enclosure and bovril in a heartbeat though.

Born in Clifton raised in Kingswood , been watching Rovers since 67 age 7. Lived in Clifton , Redland , Cotham and then St Andrews for quite some time . Lived in Calgary for 21 years and now live in Vancouver as the wife had enough of the cold and snow , although I miss the Rockies and the wilderness . Always will be a Bristolian and I usually come home every year and catch a game or two , following Rovers is like a Catholic marriage , no chance of divorce and so many highs and lows. Having ifollow now is awesome although 7am is earlyl for football.

I’m another one born and bred (late 60’s/70’s) in the mighty King’s wood but these days reside in Bathford having sojourned in Oxford as a student (the Poly/Brookes) and the glamorous bits of London (Stoke Newington & Crystal Palace) before the onset of children prompted a move back west fifteen years ago.

Mangotsfield originally, London for awhile, all over NZ for the past 18 years.
I was in Bristol for a week last November and the Sunderland game was cancelled.
First thing I do when I wake up on a Sunday morning is check the score.
