We seem to be running a bit thin on Sag material by digressing to whether female commentators should be allowed in the men’s game. All I know is that anyone who attends the Minimal Tented Village to report on their match and doesn’t blow smoke up the arses of the faithful and true will immediately be branded as a ‘Gert Ted’ and abused in their ‘loved all over the country’ family club manner. Anyway, let’s get back on point......’Ave it!

No he would not. They gave him the job.

Ta I Understand that for you the Sags and the feelings towards them and the rivalry with them means little For many of us of middle age , and some younger and older they will always be a subject of real dislike and something to take the p out of at every opportunity Some of us remember 82 when they tried to Nick our ground , and their loud arrogance during parts of the 80s and 90s Many remember events before and during those periods and some after but there are many that really despise em with good reason Personally if this thread , only reminds our younger fans that they are a laughable stain on Bristol it will have done its job Plus it’s really enjoyable to take the p out of them

Is that who the GHS went to see at the Man Bar in Blackpool?...

Some of those comments are excellent. Found his one on us https://englishsoccerguide.com/seeing-a-game-at-bristol-city-fc/ It's us hosting Brighton in the 2016/17 season. One quote: "The stadium [Ashton Gate], frankly, was a revelation. It fairly gleams compared not only to Memorial Stadium across town but to many of the stadiums I’ve visited."

This is one of the best summaries of failure I’ve read

State of that...

Some of this will put a smile on your face... https://threader.app/thread/1101542728263966721

I think we’ll bat close up to lunch tomorrow and get the lead past 400. It is improbable that they would win from here but we still need to put the game completely out of sight. Thankfully the best Essex can hope for is a draw!

Prob not as much as Jerome Taylor....

Shannon Gabriel, 12 overs 0-73 on debut. How much money spunked on this West Indian guy?

Sounds bizarre 13:47 Lamb recalled after run-out War 382-6 (Lamb 125*) Matt Lamb has had another reprieve in his innings at Edgbaston. He was dropped at slip by Alastair Cook but had already made his way back to the pavilion and was subsequently run-out. The spirit of cricket prevailed, however, Essex withdrew their appeal and Lamb was called back by umpires Nick Cook and David Millns. One for the "What happened next?" category.

91 ?

Yorkshire 9 down but Coad is injured/ill so won't bat. Essex have taken 3 wickets this morning.

but GBBO is in a tent so they'd feel more at home watching that, although the bake off tent has room for about a dozen people so the big crowd might scare them.

70 for 0..........................only Glos could be 19 points ahead in second and probably **** up !

I think we could almost put out a full X1 of internationals (including U23s) these days couldn`t we? I could only dream of that back in 1973!

the sooner these pricks go out of business the better,then well see how many watch them from the pavements. vile club vile fans vile ground.

Presumably you mean the debt to ownership in that? Not so relevant to FFP. A lot of this will be infrastructure related expenditure IMO but will look again at this in due course, these areas a big note closely. I recall there was a large debt write off in League One in Jan 2014. £35m as per a BBC Article. This isn't relevant to FFP. FFP is something as a club we take very seriously- at times this is to the chagrin of some of our fans! Could probably amend the ground sale issue to make it possible if we were so minded. There are other fixed assets on our books that we can inflate in a transaction to a related party if necessary. We know all clubs at this level are financially reliant on their owner to a lesser or greater degree- doesn't mean there aren't loss limits within this however. Let's look at YOUR club in some detail shall we. 1. You extend accounting reporting period from May 31 2018 to July 31 2018- the due date from February 28 2019 to April 30 2019. That's fine, all legal within company laws. 2. Your owner says at a fans forum in JANUARY 2019 that if there us no promotion you'd be in BIG trouble. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-wednesday-owls-chairman-dejphon-chansiri-admits-wednesday-need-to-solve-financial-worriesa-to-avoid-future-problemsa-183808?amp 3. He mentioned a breach by 8 figures. 4. The accounts that were already due by April 30th 2019 didn't actually appear until a month on and later still. 5. 11th July 2019 on your website- JULY!? 6. 16th July 2019 at CH. 7. At least they were dated and signed by due date yeah? Err- no! June 21st 2019- well past CH revised let alone initial due date!! 8. Any sign of it at Land Registry yet? Last time I heard there was not. 9. What definitive proof is there that this transaction was completed within, or at least began within the correct reporting period? Eg up to May 31 2018 or if revision accepted July 31 2018. EFL shouldn't accept it if not. 10. Does it show in the Cash flow statement in its entirety as a once off move? Derby's did, Reading's did. Can't say I saw it on first glance but will look again of course. Aston Villa's should in 2018/19 accounts... I'm no fan of the Derby ground sale and leaseback but set against your clubs actions in this sense, they look a model of pure probity and have a halo above their head. Only club worse at this level financially speaking IMO were Aston Villa. The one thing, you've FINALLY sold a striker, finally- Joao for several million. Non renewal of contracts also helps but you've signed a number of players too albeit on frees- loans from PL last season can't have been freebies. Lazaar, Aarons and Onomah I believe. Rhodes was off the books which helps and a loan fee inbound too, but now back on and presumably on full wage. Management compensation- still though it's a nonsense tbh overall. As for us. Academy products sold for big cash represent pure profit. Lloyd Kelly £13.5m up front- that's £13.5m to offset losses. Bryan was around £6m, offsets very nicely. Reid- that had addons but offsets. Flint probably had a sell on fee to give part of and some remaining amortisation to offset against but a profit nonetheless. BIG Webster profit but then again sell on fee and remaining NBV- add ons too, add ons which may or may not have been hit last season, could complicate. Overall we're compliant and we seem to have done this in the correct manner.
