  2. It made I giggle today when Exeter City announced they are spending £3.5m on improving their stadium....the gas are even in the Grecians' shadow as well! http://www.theexeterdaily.co.uk/news/business-daily-local-news-sport/work-begin-£35m-stadium-improvements-exeter-city-fc But I thought the gas were now the 'sixth richest club in England'?! They are gonna 'buy Ashton Gate and use it as a training ground for their youth team' and will 'undoubtedly overtake us soon and then leave us behind' - etc, etc, etc... And now, after proudly announcing they are getting some new curtains and cleaning a few carpets, League Two Exeter steal their thunder and announce proper spending to upgrade a stadium.... To the blue few who scan these pages....we've just had an awful season and you still can't catch up, despite having a zillionaire owner....wake up, it hasn't worked out how you thought has it? Your club put out a press release proudly highlighting new curtains and a lick of paint, whilst your neighbours in BS3 have splashed out over £45m on a stadium rebuild which includes ONE Stand which could comfortably accommodate your entire home support.... Just think about that.... "Tick Tock" - "Bristol City, we're coming for you..." - "Matty Taylor's worth £10m" - whoops, you lost him for £300k...

  3. BREAKING NEWS:!:!: I'm thinking that I might put a few of my empties out for recycling - EVEN THOUGH IT WON'T BE COLLECTED UNTIL FRIDAY. Sorry. It's just then when cleaning the kitchen and running the Hoover round warrants a press release, I thought you should know. As you were.

  5. And it's bollocks anyway. They were bottom of Division 3 (South) in 1939, thereby causing the Second Word War

  6. I can remember when it was a quaint little rugby ground with plenty of character. Before it became contaminated!

  11. That was always a lie. They were a southern league club when we finished second in first division of the football league and runners up of the FA cup.

  12. And that's the other side of it. Anyone who hasn't watched CJ play, and didn't know his name, wouldn't know he wasn't Irish through and through Agree about the qualification period. No one is going to vote against it, but it needs to be a little harder to attain. Wasn't it 7 years at one point, maybe in cricket??

  13. It makes a change from his hell-raising days. Asked about the seemingly apocryphal story that he had once knocked out a horse in Panama City, Durán makes a clear distinction. “I knocked him down,” Durán says with the credibility of a connoisseur in violent punching. In November 1969, after his 15th pro bout and aged 18, he was offered a bet – $100 and a bottle of whisky if he could flatten a horse with a single punch. Durán says he was reluctant to hurt the animal but, spurred on by a girlfriend and already drunk, he took the bet. The horse went down from a stunning left hook. It got up but Durán’s damaged hand had to be stitched up without anaesthetic. He didn’t care: “The girl was kissing me and I was drinking the whisky I won. I didn’t feel a thing.” Great story about Roberto Duran - is he a gas head?

  14. "Never been in the first division, never been in the 4th division" I used to get when I was younger. Like it was some sort of bragging point. Yes, I did enjoy having to edit the verbal history book on 2nd May 2001 to "Never been in the first division, errr....". There definately were teds there that night, btw I'm sure I saw it running across the bottom panel on Sky Sports News earlier.

  17. I can't believe that new curtains and a lick of paint are newsworthy items, its the sort of thing that may be in a village newsletter re a local mid somerset team, sounds like they will be asking local decoraters and curtain makers to give up their Sunday mornings to carry out the work for a couple of pints, I ALMOST feel sorry for them !!!!

  18. Actually, thinking about it in all seriousness I don't know a single City fan who is bothered in the slightest by the 82 thing? In fact we have Section 82, and even acknowledge sacrifices made by the Ashton Gate Eight for saving the club. The simple fact is that including or excluding 1897 we have still achieved more than the Sags have done in their entire history since 1982, so I struggle to understand why they dribble a little bit of wee with excitement when they call us the 82ers? It is totally bizarre???? Also, they continue to celebrate 2nd May with complete disregard of the other 2nd of May (Basement Rovers Day). They should be saying Happy 2nd May 1990, but when they leave off the date then we are happy to celebrate 2nd May with them! Congratulations Wycombe! The 15ers most definitely comes from the 82ers shout, but has far more relevance because there is no getting away from the fact that the name of Bristol Rovers was not in the Football League in whatever guise and that is worth date stamping all day long! I like how they are now going on about us doing an about turn on our manager and major shareholder now that we are safe......Loyal and True? Hmmm, anyone seen the video of the Torquay game when they screamed abuse from the stands leading up to Sir Colin Day? Clarke, Higgs and everyone needed to **** off out of their tinpot club, and then they invaded the pitch causing anti-social behaviour, punching stewards and horses.....Honestly, their comeback tank is so empty these days that it is unreal! Bloody Sheeds. We are so deluded!

  19. Definition of Tinpot, announcing to your supporters (who are waiting to hear about a shiny new ground) that you're getting the decorators in to smarten the place up a bit

  21. Brum fan here. Just wanted to say fair play for the applause in the 35th minute for Mark Gaines, the B'ham fan who passed away following a stroke at our last home game. Much appreciated by us all. Well done Bristol City.
