Club Badge Circa 1980-BC
Back in the day's BC, (before clubhouse), we used to have our meetins up the Standard of England, at one of the meetins we decide to set about a club badge,
We came up with the idea of getting, well anyone really, to design one, then the best one would be it,
Lots of us ad a go I done two, one I thought was pretty good, and the other a joke, I can only remember the joke one,
it was crossed Natch bottles with two dog's screwin, i was to put it with the rest and see how it went down , well it got a laugh , nobody took it serious , that is nobody except Colin Jones , he got the right ump ,
weem tryin to do something serious hear and look what some pr!ck's done , it makes me mad ,,,, well Colin , if you log in ,sorry mate it was me, and you was right it was daft , in the end we picked the old Southmead school badge , supplied by a greenway old boy I fink his name is Melvin
Comment Dean. Well I can remember doing a drawing based on the Greenway badge for that.

R A Rangers
When we was just a junior club, we got a reall good team going, getting um kitted out was a big problem, some of um didn't have boot’s, or had em but didn't fit,
So me and Kay Marrah , the then secretary , first aid attendant, and loudest supporter in the combination, went out to all the charity shop's buying up kit , we got a sack full of good quality boots , done the trick smashing , but we still didn't have shirts , so we played in any top, trying to keep it to one colour ,
Then we got knicked named "the ragged arse rangers"
Well, Collin Jones wasn't avin that so he bought the first set of shirts s.r.f,c. ever ad, we done a deal wiv the sports wear shop , we could ave any colour we liked , as long as they was red , Next story = the club badge??

Sunday morning we all met up down Greenway waited a short while , he only turned up in the police riot wagon , bloody gert fing it was , we all piled in and set off for the Barton Hill ground , of course all the way there the lads was trying to get plod to sound the siren fingy and put the lights on , but he wouldn’t have none of it ,
That was until we got to entering there ground , Then he set the lot off, wot a racket blue flashing lights n all , frightened the crap out of um , it was smashing

Lost shoes
Right back when s.r,f.c was just getting started. and only a junior club , we had problems getting fixtures , one club that would give us a go was cleave , there ground was out Downend , one sun mornin we had an away fixture with them ,
but only Jeff Williams (plod ) and me turned up as transport , Jeff in his old rover , me in me old estate , so we tried getting everyone in the two cars that was 20 of us , not on , so we got as many as pos in the two motors and delivered them to cleave ground , the ones left set off walking , then I went back picked the walkers up so we managed to get us all there . played the game , then it was discovered that during the game , some horrible little git ad hid all of our boys shoes , there was nothing we could do but , return the same way as we got there , a bit unfortunate fer the ones who's turn it was to do the walking bit , the shoes got returned , I guess that was the first bit of inter club friendly rivalry . Tune in next week fer another story.

Mallows
A good while ago the club sec was a bloke called Dave Jones,
a schoolteacher he was a really good sec , in fact he spent many hours writing up the club constitution , his wife was a doctor there son is called Mabbot , a very well spoken handsome young feller very well behaved , so Mabbot played for our minis , a bit of square peg in a round hole , but he coped very well , and showed grate promise , anyway at his very first training session he got stuck into thing's and after a while we stopped for a brake , he came up to me all smiles and asked ,
"Is this a hot chocolate brake Mr Morris?” I replied, "oh yes son, weem just waiting for the marshmallow”
