http://partizanbristle.blogspot.com/2015/04/2-creek-bristol-manor-farm.html
Thursday, 9 April 2015. 2* The Creek, Bristol Manor Farm. Bristol Manor Farm 1 Brislington 1. Sat 21st March 2015, Toolstation Western League - Premier Division. Having missed Bristol Rovers vs. Aldershot on Friday and conscious of the need to get as far away from the Six Nations as possible, I decided to spend my first Saturday as a Shirehampton resident in the company of local leading lights of the Toolstation Western League; the superbly named Bristol Manor Farm. Seemingly not entertained by the game ...

Friday, 31 July 2015. 9 The Hallen Centre, Hallen A.F.C. Hallen A.F.C 1 Tiverton Town 0. Fri 31st July 2015, pre-season friendly. Once again the league bears down upon us and an end to the wacky,. Consequenceless fun of pre-season friendlies comes to an end. No more spotty youth-teamers or hapless trialists. No more hilarious mismatches or cross-border absurdities. No more obscure local cup competitions or queue-less pasty vans. Good night sweet prince. As this was playing out an elderly gentleman mentio...

PARTIZAN BRISTLE: #7 Raymond McEnhill Stadium, Salisbury FC
http://partizanbristle.blogspot.com/2015/07/7-raymond-mcenhill-stadium-salisbury-fc.html
Friday, 17 July 2015. 7 Raymond McEnhill Stadium, Salisbury FC. Salisbury 1 Bristol Rovers 4. Sat 11th July 2015, Pre-season friendly. The season at last begins in earnest. Midweek jaunts to North Somerset notwithstanding. The time was finally at hand to dust off my hopping shorts and mingle with normal people who don't feel the need to go to poorly advertised academy games and can wait for the real thing. Really, I can give up football whenever I want. We thought we'd be pretty safe just throwing the ba...

Wednesday, 8 July 2015. 6 Court Hay, St George Easton-in-Gordano. St George Easton-in-Gordano 2 Bristol Rovers U-18 5. Tues 7th July 2015, Pre-season friendly. FOOTBALL IS BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. I am a genius. No doubt about it. I eventually arrived at the tiny village and got into the ground about 45 minutes early, in time to rest my legs and amuse myself with the pitch-side advertisement for Bell Tools. Eventually Dave (of best crowdfunded banner in the history of football. Tinpot highlights includ...

PARTIZAN BRISTLE: #8 King George Recreation Ground, Avonmouth FC
http://partizanbristle.blogspot.com/2015/07/8-king-george-recreation-ground.html
Tuesday, 28 July 2015. 8 King George Recreation Ground, Avonmouth FC. Henbury FC 4 Sea Mills Park 2. Tue 28th July 2015, Evelyn Rowley Cup Semi-Final. The second notable thing about the place, one which instantly puts it up there amongst the weirdest football locales I've ever had the pleasure to visit, is that the whole playing space exists in the shadow of a colossal, heaving ruin of an old warehouse*, which audibly creaks with every gust of wind. Full of ghosts and a million deflated Mitre balls.
