Our old barman has left the building for the last time.

The club saddened to learn of Bobby's passing.
The club was saddened to learn of the passing of the much-loved Bob ‘Bobby’ Flicker at the age of 67.

Bob worked behind the Supporters Club bar for more than 30 years – and always brought a smile to those who met him.

A sport-loving soul, Bob not only had a fervent passion for Bristol City, he also enjoyed cricket, tennis and a flutter on the horses.

Back in the day he was a regular on the skittle alley in the old Supporters Club bar.

Additionally he had a love of music, especially one-time Ashton Gate visitor Neil Diamond – a favourite karaoke choice of Bob’s.

Everyone’s thoughts are with Bob’s family and friends at this time.

Bob’s funeral will take place at Bristol South next Friday (July 5th) at 11.30am. The family kindly asks for any donations to be made to Stroke Association UK charity.

The funeral procession will drive through Ashton Gate en route to Bristol South, and there will also be a celebration of Bob’s life back at the stadium, in the Dolman Exhibition Hall, after the funeral. All are welcome.

As a mark of respect, the players will don black armbands in memory of Bob for the first friendly, the Community Match at Ashton & Backwell United on Wednesday, July 3rd.

I remember him well had a few arguments with him in a friendly enough fashion years back when I insisted there was better use for the space than a skittle alley.

 

RIP Bob

Nice touch for the funeral to go by AG on the way to Bristol South

Also nice to see the players will wear the black arm band.

I have known Bob for 20 years he was a genuinely nice fella.

I somehow wasn't aware he was even ill, but apparently he missed the last few home games in the supporters bar last season?

RIP mate, and sincerest condolences to your family and friends..

 

I first met Bob Flicker in August 1959 on an Friday night train to Sheffield en route to City's opening game of the season at S****horpe United and for the next ten years or so we spent a lot of time together while watching City home and away.

Marriage for me in 1969 and a seat in the Dolman, meant I did not have any spare cash for away travel so we did not see as much of each other from then on. But whenever we met at Ashton Gate I knew I was enjoying a fleeting few minutes with one of the most genuine friends I have ever had in my lifetime. A light has gone out for me with this sad news.

Thanks for the memories Bob and my best wishes to his family.

 

R-I-P fellow red, keep the red flag flying,thoughts with your family and friends.
