Having watched City at home for the last 2 seasons I'm not sure i agree.

That's the great thing about football though, every success is relative, our last minute promotion against Dagenham, or your last minute win against Manchester United, would have meant just as much-if not more- to us than an umpteenth Champions League to a Real Madrid fan.

Dont go celebrating the title too early.....

I appreciate I’m on a forum about a club I dearly love, but does anyone else feel like I do, in that I really couldn’t give a **** about this season. If the new season starts in August, fine. If not, I don’t really care.

They've voted for no relegation to the National League - but this is subject to EFL approval which I hope they don't get. No relegation - then no promotion I say.

Don't forget there is an extra place to fill with Bury going under

The bizarre things you see on your travels...… driving home tonight through Old Down (the Thornbury one) I saw an actual adult man wearing 'da famus quarterz' sporting the No2 on the back with the name LITTLE emblazoned across the back! They walk among us!

Yes. Approx a 1/5th of season ticket income (approx £3.0-3.5m).

Probably already bagged up and sold on as munure by now.

Bless him...thinking a week later the piss taking will have died down and everyone would’ve forgotten about it ? You’re absolutely spot on, it gives me a very smug feeling inside thinking about all those Sagheads and what they must have felt after spending most of that season telling US we were definitely going down. ? All those times they celebrated us losing league matches in divisions above them against teams that would’ve put 10 past the Sags had they been the opposition and not us. Sag nause indeed, many workplaces have more than one...I never tire of telling them how much I find their relegation to non league hilarious.

Lockdown`s been lifted, they`re probably chucked out the house all day now - a bit like staying in a seaside boarding house during the sixties.

They were in League One in 17/18 and averaged 10,413. Take in account the additional away fans that wouldn't have made the extra 124 mile trip.

Don't worry yourself over it as the season will be completed now

They wouldnt do that, dont be daft.

I’m pretty much resigned to City missing out if games don’t restart, because none of the PPG methods work for us, however.... ....Peter Loehman, a Danish, Sheffield Wed fan, who I follow on Twitter has come up with another method. His method is less about finishing the remaining 100+ games and buying some time to complete a new form of playoffs. Ultimately, he proposes more of an elimination type playoff, where we get a one off chance away to Forest. if we win that we’d go into a 2 legged play off. It basically gives clubs down to 8th (in Peter’s model we fall below Millwall based on the strength of our remaining fixtures) a chance. Ditto for the clubs in relegation battle. It basically requires 14 matches to be played, instead of the 113.

Whichever basement team wins League 2 this season, knows in their hearts it doesn't really count.

Just watching back an interview with Peterboro chairman Darragh McAthony he said he's been quoted that testing his players etc would cost his club £200k - £300k. BUT for his club he woould be looking at having to pay back upwards of £800k to season ticket holders and sponsors He said the bigger clubs would be looking at refunds of £700k + in season ticket refunds alone

Boom! 20 runners in the club.

Completely agree with you, a season for me is all about the momentum of a season, the highs & lows and hoping you have something to play for at the end. This season stopped so long ago it would feel like a promotional mini tour, almost like a pre-season but without the fans, just think it would be sterile.

How many of them actually go and see that rubbish (& I don't count slipping Bob the gateman a fiver to get in) Not many I suspect judging by the sell out crowds at Turnip Patch Tent City. It's like the window lickers who phone in to Radio Bristol after the match and give an opinion on a game they've not seen but listened to on the radio. "It was definitely a penalty Geoff from what I heard on the radio, stone wall" Comedy gold.

Ah, but if they`d asked who all these celebs` second favourite team was...……………………......

to be fair to the bloke, I had to have a week off work after this as well, due to aching ribs after laughing

This guy, having to take a week off work. I doubt very much that it was because he was upset, probably more due to the fact that he's a massive Sag nause who has continually revelled in any misfortune we've had for years and years. He clearly knew that the opportunity for anyone else to give him some grief back would have been taken and relentless, and he knew he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. You can just imagine what he's like - every workplace has one... FTG

Ten years in the second tier, in your whole life, seven of those before you were eighteen and, twenty six years since the last time, that's genuinely sad. I have to admit, you've got some staying power. And I complain about our relative lack of success in my lifetime, plus ten on yours.

If players don't play then they don't get paid. Everyone is at risk of the virus and will be expected to go back to work, with social distancing and risk mitigation factors at play, and get on with it. Footballers will be in one of the most sterile environments going and will have less to worry about then Joe Blow jumping onto a bus with 50 other people to travel to an office with 50 other people. If footballers cannot live with this then they need a career change to something that poses them no risk, like a webcam operation. Everyone is going to have to learn to live with this; it isn't going away. We cannot stay locked up forever and life goes on.

I thought that testing capacity was over 100k but there currently wasn't the demand for it? I disagree with the above posters. Football is coming back, whether we think that's morally acceptable or not. The UK gov has been making it clear that it wants professional football to return as a boost to the country. We'll be living alongside this virus for months if not years to come, so it's a decision of when football returns and not if. Yes, there's a risk - but there's a risk for everyone being asked to return to work around the country too. The government and sporting bodies clearly feel it's an acceptable level of risk. As I say, we can debate whether we think mid-June is the right time but now that this ball is rolling I don't think it will stop.

I think HR monitors will be more accurate than Strava, they always seem to be a basic calculation and usually over estimate. I’ve got just an Apple Watch and I must say I’ve used the calorie count on that daily for a couple of years now to monitor my requirements and always managed to meet my goals (either lose or gain weight) by using it and allowing for 100-200 margin. 2nd run today, 8 miles in 73 minutes. Little quicker than I wanted it to be, need to control my pace more on those easy recovery runs. I tried out the Nike running club app today on my run, has recorded program guides for various run distances. Was quite clever and a welcome distraction every few minutes talking me through the stages of the run. Probably will get too repetitive after a couple of runs but would recommend for a couple at each distance. Bit of yoga and stretching afterwards, strength and conditioning tomorrow and then back out running Friday for an hour at easy pace with 10 minutes “fast” in the middle

Save their skins by refunding tickets for games that will not be played with fans? Did you read the article?

That’s pathetic. The worst team in the league after 75% of the season in desperate attempt to save their skins and rob millions in undeserving tv cash shocker!!!!

Clap piping, tent erecting, boob juggling, erotica watching, fact "bending," myth peddling, plain lying, Memorial trashing, horse assaulting, minibus abusing, rival envying, ground hopping/thieving hoof ball League One parasites, then. To sum up.

You sound like a pale skinned ginger Geordie who refuses to use sunscreen as it's for 'poofs' and then spends a week walking round like you've shat yer self whilst depositing lumps of dead skin in various 'British' bars on the Costa. Love it!
