Major Isewater Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Because if we slip disgracefully into the third division I will be beyond caring and will do something more interesting on my Saturdays than spend time and money on something that makes me miserable and for a club that does not listen to the long suffering fans . Mrs Isewater will be accompanied to Ikea , if I can find my passport . We may go to the beach or the cinema, Maybe a funeral or two . Mr Lansdown, you are killing the love for the club with your stubbornness. You have done so much for BCFC but I really feel that you've lost the plot , either that or your plot is to bumble along at the old haunts like the Priestfiekd stadium or entertain the Gas who we are making look dynamic .

Kingswood Robin Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Well, another positive about next season is that it won't be this one. Just think, most of those good players we've managed to get together will leave and we get to start all over again. Yippee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Once upon a time, when I was young, Saturdays were my favourite day of the week. Then, twenty-two years ago I started in the pub trade and grew to hate Saturdays. I don't hate them so much right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with the Major here. Even those who did renew did so because their hand was forced, and the fact that POTD is a damn expensive hobby, so ST is a smarter idea. But I bet everyone who did renew would certainly avoid Ashton Gate next season if we are relegated and they have a better offer on how to spend their Tues or Sat.

City, as always will be the best, or one of the best supported sides in league One so plenty will still go. Maybe 11-12,000. Brilliant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWilly Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Spot on sarj. I have reluctantly renewed today due to numbers selling relatively fast in the new singing section and didn't want to lose out. The obvious worry is relegation but even if we were relegated I would still have renewed but the problem for me is if Johnson remains in charge while being relegated, I will be fuming renewing at this stage.

1bristolcity Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 It will be a blessed relief I guess, at least we will win more than lose, hopefully, hate losing weekends, and throw in a few Tuesdays...well you know. However want us to stay up like it's the most important thing in my life at the moment, odd thing being a City supporter, what a bad joke of a club we are?

Bat Fastard Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 There is a good chance that we will stay up - but if we did go down, now that the stadium is finished, I would expect SL to invest heavily in a great young team and the project would soon be back on track - just imagine - football and rugby double promotions! Maybe we could get JET back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel your pain Major! If we do slide in to the 3rd tier again then it will indeed be a disgrace. It will be deserved though and I really hate to say that. However, if / when it happens, I won't be able to stop myself going and when I'm not watching, I will have my score alerts on and tune in to Jeff Stelling and the gang. Its a drug and its been my drug not of choice but by birth and generations of family. The summer will be horrible as we will see an exodus of the new blood that was brought in over the past 2 windows. I can't fall out of love with City, I never will. However, for all the things SL has done positive for the club, it seems to be unraveling before our eyes. I would love to have his undivided attention for an hour of his time with a lie detector machine on. Not that I feel hes a liar but to get some real answers with no fluffy and fudged answers. He must have a plan and I mean a real plan or am I as deluded as he and his coach seem to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 You wait, we say it now, but then we'll spank £20m on new players for next season and we'll all be champing at the bit for it to start We'll bag a late winner at Shrewsbury on the opening day, have 20,000 at the Gate for Colchester the week after, the sun will be shining, we all look healthy and tanned, the cider will be cold (as will the pies) and we won't give a **** Then we'll get knocked out of the League Cup by Forest Green and realism sinks in Still, we'll win the Piss Pot Cup against Swansea U19s, take 45,000 to Wembley and everything will be rosey again Gonna get me a ST to Kingsholm next season I think....and they are just as shit.

Iron Acton Red Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think if we did get relegeted,if we can keep a strong aquad theres no reason why we cant bounce straight back up.

Bolton got rid of a failing manager and brought in Phil Parkinson to take them up again. No hope for City, whatever the division, while LJ stays.

CotswoldRed Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Agree with the Major. If we go down and the management remains as is, I'll feel no guilt for choosing to do other things and saving my diesel money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to be there to appreciate it mate. I could say the win at Anfield or the first leg against Forest in the Littlewoods semis but some of the goals that night were superb in such an intimate (shithole) setting.

BCFChayden Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 We all know Bristol city is now part a big package. We ain't top of his list anymore. his attention is more for the rugby and the complex in and around Ashton gate. As I write this we're 4 0 down with a shite manager. Now we look at the rugby they are relegated yet just bought in an ex England manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
