SiJ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Was this the Bristol City match? I got to the ground early (when the weather was still quite nice). Started absolutely tipping it down about 20 minutes before KO and I can just remember loads of people coming in like they'd been swimming...in their clothes. Stood there smug.

SiJ Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 So it's also a year ago today that Tinkerbell (for the first time) decided Carlos needed to be sacked at half time to then change her mind again by full time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who we played, but yeah it tipped it down and the lightning was great too. Because it was warm nobody had bought a coat. I remember one bloke taking his shirt off in the south stand toilets and wringing out. Honestly he couldn't have got it wetter in a twin tub washing machine without spinning it. I'd just got under the south stand before it started spitting around 7.20. Lucky me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky me Twin tubs, them were the days! My mum was a slave to that thing and the water stank. I only walked about 20 yards in that downpour and it looked like I'd been in the shower fully clothed for 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
