  1. I thought it was announced earlier in the week she was out for the rest of the season?
  2. I was chatting to a friend about this shirt and she swears blind he gave me the same replica shirt about 10 years ago with lots of other old memorabilia, the problem being I have no idea what I did with it all
  3. To be fair it was in the Gavin Marshall interview on the Forever Bristol City podcast, the club have not released any comms on the subject It is odd that they have not acknowledged the game being sold out either
  4. All I can tell you at this point is there are many things being raised and discussed under the banner of "Improving the atmosphere", some things are very easy and quick wins, but other things will need approval from the board before being raised with our fanbase Anything and everything is on the table at this point I meant the complete opposite, it is from feedback received
  5. Already confirmed the Atyeo isn't being used
  6. I honestly don't know for 100%, I do know a new system was being installed and it was believed it was an available facility The impression I get is it won't be dependent on being a sell out as lower priced tickets would be available But as I have said, it's all within a bigger project about improving the atmosphere Feedback and discussions
  7. How have you done this, they are not on sale yet
  8. My personal opinion is that he obviously didn't like the process of how we changed Managers, and many of us felt the same, but oddly no matter whether we play well or badly the tone of posts were consistently the same We've seen many Managers come and go before and will see many come and go in the future, to me it is time to move on, embrace what is in front of you and hit reset in the off season If you don't go to games, it would be odd not seeing posts next season on the game
  9. I need to speak up here, to be fair to @W-S-M Seagull I have been under the impression that he has sat in the Lansdown for a long time I can remember him first posting about getting wet and puddles forming on the area around where he sat, and that is months ago As for the South Stand I can vouch for him again that he was in South Stand as he kindly sent me a couple of pictures over a number of games when we were having a private discussion about empty seats Just for balance, the price is around the same as last year and only increased as per the rest of the ground. Surely you expected this to be about the price? For context which area did you sit in before you moved? As it is an open forum we get all ends of the spectrum posting from those in utopia to those who see nothing good It's not secret that I find the posts the same as you describe, but ultimately we all have different opinions, and the more diverse the better the discussion I believe so, but you have to pay the pro-rata difference in increase
  10. Can't see Arsenal winning all their remaining games, but if they do massive credit to them Tottenham and Man Utd away are two very tricky ties ahead I agree it's Man City's to lose now
  11. This seems dubious to me, surely the pitch would need to naturally fuse with the ground below it? TAKEN FROM: Men's T20 World Cup: Australian cricket pitches shipped to USA - BBC Sport The pitches used in the United States at this summer's men's T20 World Cup will have had quite the journey when the first ball is bowled at the tournament - being transported over 14,000 miles. They have come in by ship from Adelaide in Australia, via Florida, as organisers run a major global cricket tournament in the USA for the very first time. Matches will be played at bespoke venues in New York, Texas and Florida. The opening game between USA and Canada, and the biggest game of the group stages, India versus Pakistan, will both be played in the States. There are 16 matches being played in the US, with the other 39 being held in the West Indies. And getting the States ready for cricket is quite the undertaking, especially when it comes to preparing cricket pitches. "Our aim is to produce pitches that have pace and consistent bounce, on which the players can play their shots," said Adelaide Oval pitch curator Damian Hough, who has been tasked with growing pitches in Australia and transporting them to the US. "We want entertaining cricket, but there are challenges." Work on the 10 drop-in pitches started at the beginning of October 2023 when they were initially planted in trays. Each pitch was split into two trays, with the end aim being the production of four match-ready pitches and six practice strips. A clay-like soil, which is also used at baseball venues in the US, is being used together with a particular grass which is suited to warmer climates and resistant to rolling and heavy use. The trays were transported in a shipping container on a boat from Adelaide to Florida in January. They have since grown in a warm climate - New York was enduring freezing temperatures at the time - prior to being taken by road to their eventual destination. To limit the time they are on the back of a lorry, two drivers will be employed to drive each vehicle, limiting the need to stop for breaks. It will then take Hough and his team 12 hours to bed the pitch in at the venues, some of which are being purpose built for the tournament. "I have mixed feelings," said Hough, who is a guest on this week's Stumped podcast. "I'm really excited, but I'm a bit anxious at the same time - there are still unknowns. "This is a long process. What we do know is we've given it our best shot. "We've thoroughly thought through every possible outcome and issue along the way and we're hoping that they're going to be some good cricket pitches."
  12. Watching the Everton game it got me thinking about what Chris Wilder said yesterday If his team or an individual player suddenly played at a higher level than before over the run in he'd want to know why they hadn't played like that before I'm sure Sean Dyche could be asking his players that question tonight? I've also just seen it's Man Utd 2-2 Sheffield United, Wilder must have seen it coming
  13. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion and let's be honest this forum would be dull if we didn't, but surely you must be seeing things differently now?
