Mr Lansdowns on the pitch before our last home game to say thanks for our support.

[WECANDO]

We've been relegated. What do we do? Cheer for what he's done for the club or boo him for stupidly keeping LJ when just about everyone knew he should have sacked him some time back? Over to you.

boring

 

[WECANDO]

Boring possibly. Relevant definitely. 

[CotswoldRed]

I'll boo him for being a stubborn, ignorant and foolish old bean. 

[formerly known as ivan]

Boo for not having more reasonable season ticket prices

No way on earth he will come on the pitch and speak if we've been relegated.

[City fan 1982]

Egg the old fart.

[ontariored]

Don't bother to turn up. He has his own agenda. If nobody turns up he might get the message. 

[Robin 101]

Lansdown has serious problems if City go down and stick with Johnson. 

Attendances will die, Stuck with players on contracts renewed recently to meet championship level and signings we will never get close to getting back what we paid for them ie. Engvall, Tomlin etc.

We are all aware he isnt the most football minded of people but as a businessman im amazed hes not made a change

[BrizleCiderArmy]

Ide choose Pete Winkleman over him as a chairman right now. Ol Pete don't have the IQ of an amoeba when it comes to footballing decisions. And he's not a megalomaniac foreign chairman which will please some.

As soon as Steve graces us with his presence we should tell him this at once.

Everyone will make their own decision how to respond. I for one will listen what he has to say first, although this is only if I've left the Coopers in time to hear him!

He said we should only voice our feelings when the match isn't on so a very loud rendition of 'we want Johnson out' would be how I think we should greet him. 

[petehinton]

No way in hell he'll be anywhere near the ground. He'll be far away with his head in the sand, then as soon as we're doing well in L1 again he'll come and take praise again. 

Same can be said for Mark Ashton

[Natchfever]

i don't personally believe that City is Mr Lansdown's priority any more.

He surely sees a better (and cheaper) means of glory on the rugby side of things going forwards.

Therefore league One with a family friend in charge is acceptable to him possibly as he can do that relatively cheaply.

BS and maximising stadium revenue is what gets him excited perhaps.

As daft as it sounds don't rule out him having a word with Wally and suggesting a ground share.

Its not our ground after all.

Yep we won't be seeing one of SL's rallying cries any time soon. They only happen when we're doing well and there's no flak flying around. He'd have to be insane to attempt one of those this season. 

[Tully Bascomb]

When has it ever been our ground, surely it's always been the majority shareholder?

[Super]

Doubt many will be there if we are already down.

Never stopped me before, I go to watch a game of football.

I don't pick the team, or appoint the manager, I go as a fan to watch the team I support.

It's often a good day out ruined by 90 minutes of football, but I'll do it all again next season. Nothing happy clappy, it's what I've always done and yes, it has been worse than now!

Has it! I am probably as old as you and I can not ever feeling this helpless. Yes we can talk about 82 but at least people stayed behind the club. This is a completely different type of clawing at my gut! 

We are in the hands of a man that will not see sense and there is nothing that anyone can do.

The use of our could be subjective, but prior to Mr Lansdown and post 1982 no individual could have a shareholding of above 25%.

The ground via Bristol City holdings was owned by thousands, now it is owned by Mr Lansdown.

The stadium is as much ours as it is the rugby club. Both are tenants.

[Frenchay Red]

A chant of "you don't know what you're doing" might get the message across.

[City fan 1982]

Hopefully my sons cricket season will have started and hopefully miss the hollow words speech.   Stick together , regroup, bounce back.

Sob quietly.

Sounds like it's going to be piss in the crisp packet time.

[Daniro]

How about we ask Lansdown if he wouldn't mind getting his old mate Hargreaves in to run things for a bit?    Maybe Hargreaves is the brains behind the billions and Lansdown was in the right place at the right time.   Maybe Hargreaves can save us.

I beg to differ having seen almost all the home games on the way down after relegation from the first (mum only let me down to a few of them). At the bottom of the 4th division we'd be lucky to get anywhere near Gas sized gates.

You can beg and differ, but when City were relegated to the fourth, City's gates were higher than Rovers ...
