Sad to hear today of the death of longstanding cricket and football supporter John Robson from Kingswood. John was a member of Glos CCC for over 60 years and a season ticket holder at both Bristol City and Bristol Rovers FC. RIP John. John loved his sport and in recent years saw some really poor football and cricket. He lost his wife some years ago but had many friends at both the Mem, Ashton Gate and the County Ground. Will try and find out details about the funeral arrangements in due course.

RIP. Sounds like a real sports lover - they're the best :-)

Presumably from a bygone era when the people of Bristol supported both football clubs and were far more tolerant of each other....not saying that all was perfect with the world then by the way though.....
RIP John

My Dad used to go and watch both teams in the 50s but soon realised blue was his favourite colour :-)

Apparently John died on his 76th birthday ...two successive relegations City & rovers took their toll But at least he swathe good times City in the First division late 70's and Rovers being the top team in Bristol mid 1950's plus he saw the fantastic win by Rovers 4-0 over MAN UTD in 1956
