Don’t beat us, we need the points more than you do, and I’m sure you’ll agree that HTFC is a good away-day, so it makes sense for both of us to be in the same division next season… 😉

You're on a good run, looking a very good side too. I have been a fan of Mark Sykes this season, seems to have a bit of everything. Regarding pubs etc. The Turnbridge on St Andrews Road is friendly for away supporters, cheap but nice ale/lagers. Ot also is reliable for parking with a quick getaway too. 10 minute walk to the ground is also handy! You have Wells and King, both had spells with us. Wells for me, should never have been let go! King never made an impact here 2 years ago, was probably really good off the field in yet another relegation battle. I will go for a 1-1 draw. A late equaliser by yourselves and probably Wells. |

Welcome old bean, Magic Rock is great or The Sportsman near the station.
I work in Bristol, great city, just got home. Hoping we stay up as I always enjoy a trip to Ashton Gate, usually with a few colleagues. The Memorial and Whaddon Road won’t be the same. Had the pleasure of chatting with Scott Murray briefly last season - top bloke!

I’m a Huddersfield Town fan from one of The Scottish Inner Hebrideian Islands jerseybean - (Islay - Known as ‘The Queen of The Hebrides’ and also ‘The Whisky Isle’ ) and I travel down twice a year to visit Huddersfield (or Huddy as we Scottish lads and lassies call it) -
Huddersfield is a fantastic place to visit - nice hotels and excellent staff in them, I’ve lodged in Travelodge Huddersfield, The Ivy, The Cambridge Hotel, The Huddersfield Hotel, all really good experiences indeed. Travelodge Huddersfield is handy as it’s on Leeds Road and if you’re in a front room you open the curtains and see the beautiful John Smith’s stadium nestled down below the trees on The Kilner Bank and on a beautiful day with wall to wall sunshine and a Huddy Town blue sky it truly is a joy to behold ! (PS - It’s also very impressive for a night match under the lights) !
Huddersfield has beautiful views of the hills surrounding the town and the historic Victoria Tower (Castle Hill) to the South I think and to the East is the unique looking TV transmitter known as Emily Moor Mast...
The Town is well served with restaurants to suit every taste and palate and prices are very very reasonable indeed and near St. George’s square is Eufisis restaurant and Lala’s curry house and two pubs in The lovely listed building of Huddersfield Railway Station - one is The Head of Steam and the other is The Kings Head where you will catch excellent live bands on a Sunday afternoons... If you like your politics there is a big statue of the former UK prime minister in the square - His name was The Right Honourable Mr Harold Wilson !!!
No footy trip is complete without a visit to the pubs and Huddersfield has them by the dozen and having travelled the length and breadth of The UK and Ireland I’ve yet to find better prices ANYWHERE ! - and so impressed was I that I took some receipts home on the Lager and whisky and Malt Whisky prices that my fellow natives on The Whisky Isle who like a drink or three or more,were proclaiming to me - ‘Bloody Hell - I wanna go and live in Huddersfield’ !
I think on match days The Boy and Barrel pub is reserved exclusively for away fans and is not a million miles from the stadium and it’s a nice walk in nice weather and mostly downhill on a gentle gradient...
I went to Huddersfield Town v Bristol City a few years ago and it was a draw, I brought back a programme for the only Bristol City fan on Islay - our former shop owner in ma village Clive (originally from Bath) but he retired and relocated to Renfrew to spend more time with his grandkids but we had many a chat and a few beers over ‘Huddy n’ Brizzle’ over the years.
And when I was down for ma game v The Robins your fans freely mixed cordially with Town fans in The Yorkshire Rose pub just beside Travelodge Huddersfield near the ground so that one might be worth a visit also on your way to the match - and if you’re driving or don’t drink or have a hangover then Costa Coffee are their neighbours...
Anyway do enjoy - 🥃 ⚽️ 🥃 - hopefully not the result - (no offence, but we’re desperate for points) and let us know how you got on in ‘Huddy’ and if my tips were worthwhile !!!! 👍

Thinking about players who played for both clubs:
Marcus Stewart
Nahki Wells
Andy May
Phil Jevons
Andy King
Junior Bent
Kasey Palmer
That’s all I can think of so far … anymore?

Since the wife dragged me off kicking and screaming to live on the north Devon/Cornwall border, I now find that Bristol City are my nearest Championship team at about 145 miles due north east (could be Plymouth Argyle next season, but they are stuttering a bit now).
Still hoping I can visit Ashton Gate next season, and Home Park also for Championship football watching Town.

Thank you in anticipation. Away fans can mix in any of the pubs really. There's not much in the way of pubs near the ground, Turnbridge WMC, Aspley Marina, Peacock (if coming from the other side) but all are about 10 mins walk to the away end. I'd say if people are wanting a few pints to get into Town, it's a 15 min. Some really good pubs in the centre of Huddersfield for afternoon drinking, anyone coming by Train has two pubs built into the station on each side, both are worth a visit. It's abit shit but the Boy and Barrell is the 'designated away fan pub' and will be Bristol City fans only drinking in there before the game. |

I wasn’t aware Marcus had played for City, thought it was just Rovers? He went there later in his career to a fanfare of “he’s coming home”, “welcome to Bristol” and he supported them as a lad. Didn’t really work out unfortunately and think he went to Yeovil after a year or two. |

Robbie Turner,think he made a handful of appearances under Buxton but carved out a good career at Cardiff, Bristol City and Cambridge, he might well have played in the 6-1 demolition at Ashton Gate late 80's. |

Hope you beat Coventry and btw Colin (as we like to call him) really does have a soft spot for all things Bristol City. Not just you mate. Started out as a diss anagram Colin Wanker, but seems to have been adopted by fans that like him too. I always call him Colin, but he was (and still is) one of my favourite managers of all time at Town. Probably because he was manager for my first full season as a ST holder, plus I wasn't living here when Sir Mick Buxton was Town's manager and only saw that glory from Germany. |

You'll come, tickle our bellies while you are here and go home with 3 points. Probably worth the long trip.... what it's not worth is the 4 mile trip to the ground for me.
