I fully expect LJ to be sacked by Christmas and I'll be taking up the half season ticket offer. Survival is a relief, but after circa £14m spent it's not a success. This is a fair enough point/comment/what ever. So far all the predictions made about LJ/BCFC have been off the mark so maybe making further predictions is a foolhardy thing to do? Put a placeholder in your calendar and let us all know if you are eating humble pie or go large with 'I told you so' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"John Smith believes he's better than other fans". We're all happy we stayed up but we're far from wiping the slate clean and accepting our manager. If LJ gets us promoted next year we won't be in pain, we'll be delighted. But you have to draw your own conclusions about what is likely for next season. Well done to anyone who wanted to make a stand in their own way because they believe it's best for the club in the long run. Open and constructive dialogue with the club is hard to come by so there are bound to be a variety of ways in which people wish to get their point across. LJ out. CotswoldRed is Spot On! (Even if I say so myself) This bloody awful season is nearly over....Barring a (reverse) miracle we are safe. Third window coming up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, a slice of it was down to LJ with him tinkering with the team and filling the squad with uncertainty but once he found a regular starting 11 and stuck with a 4-4-2 results have picked up. Exactly Robbo. The blindingly obvious took him a season. It was the tinkering that caused the players to lose faith and the inability to find a settled team. As far as mismanagement is concerned there was plenty of blame to go around...Pemberton and Taylor took the fall for all of the managers directors and owners above them. Hey ho, that's football and as you once said, we'll be here long after they are all gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look under the Landsdown stand that scares me the first impression people get of our club is everything to do with a 2nd class rugby club .A bristol fan I was talking to told me more about what they were going to do with the ground and there new training centre than I knew after going down Ashton gate for 45 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result, Ashton Gate is the present home of the rugby club as well as Bristol City. The people in the concourse of the Lansdown are Bristol City fans at football matches and Bristol Rugby fans at their games. Nobody is going to get confused over what they are there for. Is making it feel a little bit like home for the rugby fans too much to ask? I'm not a rugby fan at all, but I do wish the rugby club every success. To call them 2nd class doesn't seem very fair. I suspect that, within their sport, they have been more successful than City have ever been. And you've still not explained what they have done to make you disbelieve everything they say to the extent you believe they are fabricating ST sales?

Maybe he wasn't in a position to renew earlier, maybe he was waiting to see what division we would be in, could be many things. I do find it strange though, that at the exact time we are ensuring Championship football next season you cannot buy a ST for three weeks! I suspect a reasonable number of sales will be lost because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
