Att 9,616 (1,201 away)

Entry (Atyeo Stand) £10

I think I owed Robyn this one; since she moved to Oxford she’s seen quite a bit of my club Oxford United, it was only fair I returned the favour! There were a couple of additional reasons to go too.

BRISTOL CITY 0

WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1 (Rondon 52)

Att 15,185

Entry £10

Programme £2.50

The wonderful thing about having a football-loving girlfriend is that you get to immerse yourself in her club, and enjoy the common factors between your two clubs. Robyn is a Bristol City season ticket holder and knows the game and her club inside out so there were many reasons to pay Ashton Gate another visit. Continue reading →
