Congratulations to your young grandson MikeL you must be very proud.

When I was in my teens during the 70s at school my preference was to support Premier teams like Chelsea or Tottenham rather than the local Bristol teams. It was possibly because Bristol at that time wasn't that much of a focal point on the map, well as far as we were concerned anyway. If ever I happened to mention any of the teams either Bristol City or Rovers to any of my Cockney pals on holiday they would laugh and say, who? Although I admire the loyalty of the local Bristol Rover supporter families who turn out come rain or shine in a sea of blue I prefer my comfortable seat in front of the TV watching a 'better team?'.
