Fair play to Bristol City, they cruised the league this year and from January onwards I had no doubt they were going up.

9-6![]()
The only bad thing is that the old away end has been knocked down

I hated that old stand - like looking at the game through a letter box! Seats were just stuck onto benches and the queue for a cup of tea at half time was miles long as the kiosk was tiny!
Also the scoreboard was on the roof of that stand - remember having to call home at half time during the 6-0 win a few years ago to find out what the score was at half time as I'd lost count and couldn't see the scoreboard!
The missus took a lot of persuading that I was actually at the game!

That's a shame, liked that old fashioned stand.

All of that is what made the experience so much better, that old stand was 10 times better than any modern football stadium, we would always create a great atmosphere under that little roof
