Fans will still be able to bring smaller handbags into the stadium, although these will be subject to the usual search process. In that promotion year, Bristol Rovers were beaten in the FA Cup at Eastville. A rare occasion where City was the underdog. At 1-0 down Cooper brought himself on and dragged his young side to a 2-1 victory. In 1986 City reached Wembley for the first time in the final of the Freight Rover Trophy. Bolton was beaten 3-0 and Cooper cried tears of joy remarking that he had played for England but this was the best day of his footballing life. This coming from a man who had also experienced titles with Don Revie’s legendary Leeds United. It was clear how huge a job he had done. He had taken over a club on its knees, got them challenging for promotion from the Third Division and led them to a Wembley trophy. He had also joined the board as a director remarking that financial prudence was paramount. He was not going to be the man to bankrupt Bristol City and it was so important that future generations had a club that was still playing at Ashton Gate. With the stadium sold-out buses may be busy at peak times and journey times longer than usual. We strongly encourage all supporters to get the earliest bus possible and leave plenty of time for your journey. With our Junior Reds in mind, the Family Area is the perfect way to experience game day at Ashton Gate.
Make the most of your matchday by visiting the new-look Family Area on Level 4 in the Upper Lansdown Stand. Sound good? If you haven’t already, head up from 6:30pm this Tuesday against Manchester City to see what it’s all about. Activities will take place between 6:15pm-7:30pm Following the successful introduction of cashless outlets at the stadium towards the end of the 2019/20 season, we will be further extending the operation and going cashless across the stadium. The Bristol Sport Store at Ashton Gate Stadium will be open from 1pm-10:30pm, with access to fitting rooms.
An Ashton Gate spokesman said: “The searching process will always be subject to change and whilst there is no specific threat to any Sports Ground, we must ensure that we remain vigilant and the message to spectators is to ‘Be Alert not Alarmed’.”
Old Bristol City shirts can remind you of certain games including cup wins, memorable goals, and former players.Supporters can reserve a table pre-match at the Independence Bar, formerly the Sports Bar, by booking here. These games would last for hours until we were called in for tea and would only stop to pause when the shout of ‘car’ went up. Although this was a rarity. The ages of the players would range from me at age 6 up to Steve and Andrew who would have been 11. No one supported Rovers. This was south Bristol after all and so it was all about City. I knew from the older boys of the existence of a team called Rovers but they were the enemy I was told. I thought about the name too. Bristol City. Well, Bristol was a City and was where I was from. It sounded from the name that they represented our West-Country home. Rovers sounded like some kind of travelling band or a dog. Little did I know that they would soon be leaving Bristol for Bath. Also, City played in red and it was my favourite colour. Rovers played in blue and that was a colour I never warmed to. Liverpool was the best team in the land and they played in red. It could only have been City for me. Away from home the colours vary although lime green and purple is a popular choice amongst supporters. Bristol City was lying in the play-off positions in the old Third Division in the spring of 87. I had no idea at the time but just seven years previously they were in the First Division. I had always assumed we were just a lower division club and no more. Watching Liverpool win the double the previous season and clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal seemed light-years away. When City was relegated in 1980 it was a huge fall from grace. If you see or hear any racist, homophobic or any other abuse around the stadium, please report it to our text line: 07770 736 047
