Could be my odd form of enjoyment but there's nothing like watching the Gas win and then reading the matchday thread from those that couldn't make it. It kind of helps me relive the match, reading the 'goal!!!!! Easter', 'get in!!', 'Monkhouse 2-1', 'Taylor 3-1' and the various expletives that follow. I guess it's just knowing that Gas listening to the radio or whatever medium to follow the game aregoing just as mental as I was.
Bags.

Same here, can't get to as many away games these days with family commitments and I actually prefer to find out what's going on in here rather than listening to Radio Bristol because you can actually find out how well it's going.
I stopped listening to reason Bristol last season after a game that we drew and the commentators made it sound dreadful only for them to say at the final whistle that it was our performance of the season.
Long live the match day day thread.

Back in the day I used to like reading the match previews in the press, after the match had finished.

Slightly off-topic, but for me there was nothing more exciting in the early 70s than running up to the newsagents in Staple Hill at 6 PM to get a copy of the Green 'Un to see all the footie scores. Before the days of the interweb and even teletext.
How they got the paper printed and delivered so soon in the days of papyrus, goose feathers and squid ink, I have no idea.
But when I was 13, it was a highlight of the weekend.

But when I was 13, it was a highlight of the weekend. I remember that too. If you had been to a match and didn't see the results on the telly it was the only way to find out the other results. And we had to listen to the Radio Luxembourg news to get the results of midweek matches. Remember those boards at the ground that gave you the half time scores. You had to have a programme to match the letter on the board with the match (That was the sixties though I think) |

Peter Godsiff and Robin Perry. Those are names that take me back. I remember the Sat evening Green 'Un and the Pink-'Un ,the latter produced by the long defunct Evening World.Quite how both papers produced their reports by 6 pm in those long off days of the Fifties was quite remarkable. |
