Seasons come and go all too quickly and yesterday we enjoyed our final away trip of the season with the Clarets ensuring it was a good day out by winning 2-1 against Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
Manuel Benson, yes again, scored as did Jay Rodrigues, the same two players who had scored in the 2-1 home win against back in September, just our second home win of the season.
Sometimes things go to plan while on other occasions they don?t; yesterday we were meeting up at Prestwich and the two cars arrived within a minute of each other, enabling to start the journey on time. It was trouble free, no traffic queues and no damaged tyres this time which, including a breakfast stop, got us to Bristol in very good time and we parked next to Bedminster Cricket Club here the groundsman was busy preparing a wicket at the home of the West of England Premier Cricket League club while over the boundary, there were a considerable number of Clarets enjoying some pre-match refreshments. It’s just a short walk to Ashton Gate, a much different looking Ashton Gate from our last visit in 2015. Then, the new stand behind the goal had been built replacing the previously named Wedlock Stand with its backless seats and there was a building site which is now the Lansdown Stand, named after the owner Steve Lansdown. I?m pleased to report that Nelson Mandela House from Only Fools and Horses is still there.
