He has all season.

I don't see it as a "Must Win" game, as there is still only 5 points between us and safety. Personally, I see it as the first season defining match.

Maybe they didn't have time to reply, revolving Door and all that.. Oh for a Terry Cooper now!

Your points and opinion are well presented Nogbad. Ashton Gate, to all City fans will always be a special place. But, like or loathe it, modern football is moving on, and if we want to keep pace, we have to move with the times. Redeveloping Ashton Gate pulls at the heart strings, agreed, but will it give us the best chance of future success? Limited space inevitably means limited opportunities. Making do or Moving on? With a heavy heart I have to choose the Ashton Vale option.

Ashton Gate is Light years ahead of the Memorial Stadium as it is. However no amounts of MDF and Dulux Paint will turn a redeveloped Ashton Gate into one of the countrys top stadiums

Comparing the Ashton gate re development to The Blue Fews "Fall back plans" may seem like a victory. However, when compared with the Ashton Vale project, it's more like an episode of "60 minute Make over".

I appreciate your upbeat post Cynic, but............... it is City we're talking about. They've broken my heart more times than any woman ever could. I concern myself that Forest, Millwall are sure to hit some kind of form (however temporary it may be) and, apart form the last 20 minutes on Tuesday we seem to be sliding towards the bottom three. Our goal difference which was probably worth an additional point a few weeks back, is now on a par with the teams below us. I'm buoyed by yours and Riaz's confidence boosting posts, but having been following City since 1968 I'm sure you can appreciate my concerns. I really want to believe..................................................................

Riaz, I hope you're right. But whether it's 45,46 or 52 we're no where near that at present, and inspite of last nights rousing comeback, we have looked more like relegation material with every passing game. Maybe last night was a pivotal moment in our season?

52 should be safety. anyone who drops out with that tally can think themselves unfortunate. But, can we amass that total?

Agreed, traveling is becoming more of chore ................ And I only live in Bedminster Down!!! Roll on Summer!!

Bank accounts and infrastructures aren't in the starting line ups come 3 'o clock. It's eleven players against eleven players!! And, as previously stated, unlike our 11, Charltons players are not used to winning!! Come on, give us a chance

Wrong... Charlton weren't good enough to stay in the premier league, but by the same token, we proved too good for League 1. As a result, both teams are Championship..and we start on equal points Difference between teams? Wages admitedly, but unlike Charlton, we're used to winning, and we want to be in this division........for now!! We spent too long trying to get here. Come on, don't write us off before we've had chance to sing along to Amarillo

Off? Pull the "udder" one
