When you’ve seen a play off final win on pens, Browner 90+2, Vale/Rochdale (A), Anderson 85th min & everything else in between you’ve basically peaked at club level. Not to mention 89/90 season for those a touch older than myself. We havent exactly been loaded with success but when we have our moments, we max it out! Spot on dude. I go back to a Friday night at Southend in ‘74 as well. We’ve had our fair share of highlights and celebrations. Wouldn’t change any of it. Just don’t mention the relegations! 😉 UTG! |

Rovers relegations hurt a damn sight more than England getting knocked out of the WC or Euros!

When we get relegated there's always the fear (not shared by richhertford) that we might not bounce back. Although to be fair we usually do, but it's a worry nevertheless. |

Lots of us can be proud to be English/British but not want to sing anthem god saving a monarchy. We are all equal human beings.

Leave that weird nonsense to the Scousers. Just a quick one, based on your reply, if we were Mangotsfield / Kingswood/ Henbury Rovers, would you feel the same way ? |

I will not go into the Hillsborough debacle and evil that went on |

They fought and fight back and good on them too. |

Lots us tried to respect the pandemic and limit mixing but the City of Liverpool had some of the highest Covid rates in the UK and when forced into lockdown again, demanded compensation 😊 Great City, very streetwise people, biggest drug and gun import into the UK outside of London. Simply it’s like a republic, no other City in the UK like Liverpool which adds to the UK’s culture in many great ways. |

I have lived in Liverpool and found it to be a very strange place indeed. I also lived in Coventry for a few years, another place devastated by deindustrialisation, and it was completely different in outlook, culture and crime. Liverpool is unique for many reasons, some good and some very bad.

I'm Bristololian and the hospitality we show to others isn't great. My personal experience of Northerners be they from Liverpool or elsewhere in the north is people are far more hospitable open and welcoming. I'm very open and sociable myself.

My personal experience of Northerners be they from Liverpool or elsewhere in the north is people are far more hospitable open and welcoming. I'm very open and sociable myself. Interesting generalisation. As a Bristolian of mixed English and Irish parentage who worked on construction projects throughout Great Britain I found that when the chips are down and you need help West Country people are forthcoming. Yes people in some parts of the north of England are more open and friendly in social situations but not always as good when real help is required. I will say that Geordies and Mackems have never let me down though. The worst treatment I ever had was from a Scot refusing me a lift when the hire car I was driving had a puncture and no spare wheel! No idea why because otherwise I’ve found Scots helpful and generous - keen to live down the tight Scot stereotype. People ‘from’ Liverpool fair enough but people in Liverpool I learnt to be wary of. Yes it’s a minority gets the majority a bad name but too many seemed proud of that bad name to me. Shame because it was obviously a great city once, as was Bristol. |

It's all about our own personal experiences and mine are people from the further north you go the friendlier they are. Bristol isn't regarded as a overly hospitable city from my personal experience of what people from other parts of the UK have expressed to me...

That chimes with the stereotype I've heard many times over the years, we are cold initially but once the friendship has been forged, it's genuine and totally dependable. |

Bristol isn't regarded as a overly hospitable city from my personal experience of what people from other parts of the UK have expressed to me... I agree with that generally. Very welcoming to southerners and everyone else. Of course the love-in cools a bit once you pass Berwick-upon-Tweed. |
