    Amazing to think that LR once had an attendance of over 35000

    I wonder whether a standing area could / would be factored into the plans of our possible new stadium

    Probably not, but the next 4 years at LR would increase the capacity if we could have the lower loft, paddocks and lower school end as standing areas.

    We have a poll on our Bristol City board - so far unanimous in favour of Safe Standing (well one no - but he meant to press yes!)

    Funnily enough I was on a cruise last year and one of our table at the evening meals was Leeds supporter who told me he was at that game where they all came down to celebrate their title win, what are the odds on two people meeting up nearly 40 years later that were at that same game from different sides?...

    Dunno, but I reckon Kilburn's mates/sponsors at Bet 365 could work it out for you.

    I was at that one, also remember another match, I think against Leeds but possibly not, when there were police horse (and riders) on the pitch at the end....stir any memories?
