Cracking write-up.
I enjoyed re-living the Rivals days. |  |

Another fantastic wander down memory lane Clive
I remember the City fans putting banners on the M5 as we drove back after the Plymouth defeat; the end of that season was comedy genius and they were the main act!
That was a fantastic season and following the financial troubles possibly better than the Warnock season for what Holloway achieved with his happy bunch of Rangers fans/players.
but, as always with us it ended up in tears; we're not meant to have nice things.... [Post edited 3 Sep 2020 13:48]

The good old days back in the early to mid 00s. Great times. What memories. After Hillsborough, flying up to Hartlepool and the 4-1 win there has to be the highlight for me. What a game Lee camp had that day, having been picked up on the motorway on the way up [Post edited 3 Sep 2020 13:57]

Remember having to sell my ticket for Plymouth away as I couldn't make it, and watched it at the stoop instead. Great days |  |

Dusting off my favourite joke from those days...
What's big, red and goes "beep beep beep?"
Bristol City's promotion bus reversing back into the garage |  | | |

Loved the Bushranger back than Green Gob and was it Ivy? and Ingham use to go in there
Their fans were pretty good, good banter, remember reading the *pop* posts, just about the best times on football MB's lots more banter. not like the bitchiness now with Brentford
Was there a squat on the Leeds Board as well? [Post edited 4 Sep 2020 0:04]

Wonderful stuff, great times.
The promotion calculator was hilarious, basically stating they would turn the 11 game winning run they had into about a 25 game winning run, despite nobody ever doing that sort of thing.
**POP**
IRJD was one of their most amusing posters to mock. | | | |

The Rivals setup was such a good idea and wish it was still around, seems almost innocent now in these days of Twitter and Facebook aresholes.
Didn't Sky buy Rivals and proceed to totally cock it up? |  | | |

Throughout the run of games following their statement that they would win the league I kept getting emails from a Bristol City fan banging on about Ian Hollowhead and how we'd bottle promotion etc. Never heard from him again after Hillsborough funnily enough | | | |

Sky did that deliberately in my opinion to kill a competitor to their own website.
They were told repeatedly throughout the design process that the idea they had for a "footballing MySpace" was disastrous, that the designs were dreadful, and then in the final weeks before the pressed go that it was nowhere near ready and was so buggy it barely worked. They ignored and pressed on regardless.
The next shame after that was the publishers couldn't all get together and agree to go in a single direction. So you ended up with little groups of six or seven here and there - which is where Fans Network came from. |  | | |

Club Fanzine was set up, ironically, by the bloke who ran the Bristol City Rivals site. Quite a few went with him, including us, and Ipswich, but it got very, very messy and ugly, ended up with a lot of money disappearing, court cases and stuff. Ipswich subsequently set up Fans Network out of the ashes of that to keep TWTD, us and a couple of others going. | | | |

How did they fail to notice the "MySpacing MySpace" was also shìt?
"Right then lads, we're all in on Betamax..."
Rivals.net and twoview in particular were some of the few consolations for travelling to Chesterfield for the annual gob-bumming. | | | |
