Football game

My cousin John has had a 67 year relationship with Bristols first division soccer team. Over that time he has been a fan, massage therapist, team trainer and team physio-therapist. 

In his words the team is "My team". 



He secured 4 tickets for us and we went to our first professional soccer game. 

What a game. Fans from both teams were segregated into different sections of the stadium and separTed by a fence and 24 security police!  Bristol scored first then Chesterfield tied it. By the end of 90 minutes this repeated again and the score was 2 - 2 at 90 minutes. The ref added 4 minutes of "extra time" and with 30 seconds remIning in extra time Bristol scored the winner. 

The place went crazy. People hugging and screMing and singing!  Quie an experience. We even had the security escort 6 unruly fans from the stadium as the game near the end. 



After the game we went to Bob's (my other cousin). He has been a professional  photographer for over 50 years. His collection of arial and land shots is amazing.
