I think this is the first time I have ever posted in this section. There is a project currently underway, that divides the world up into hexagons, called Smart Places. It will have an app very similar to Facebook, except your data is yours. You will get tokenized for traffic that you post and the owner of the plot will get also get tokens. To cut a very long story short, I have purchased Ashton Gate and the great unwashed "stadium" up the road. Feel free to take a look no pressure of course. If you would like me to add or amend my comments for Ashton Gate I would be happy to. I have tried to be professional about that lot up the road, not easy hahaha, but you can post anything you like... santas grotto ? I am not sure if this will be a thing of the future or not, but it seems a very good idea. This is not a sales pitch, so please do not interpret this as one. Its merely highlighting something new. I am a life long fan, even have my name on John Ayteo's statue. But wouldn't it be nice, when/if this does get some traction that their home has already been defaced hahahaha https://map.smart-places.io/explorer Stevo

I guess the good news is our game against Man U will defo be on

Looks like it's Super Sport, just like the West Ham game away

Was it my imagination or did the infographic for our starting 11 and subs have Nigel Pearson as our manager?

Exactly. We would be a comfortable mid table side. Now I fear we could be an uncomfortable mid table side with our eyes looking over our shoulder. Hope I am wrong. But said it before this has set us back 12 - 18 months

Well that was not a good start If you are going to high press you have to high press as a unit. If you are going to play a possession based game players have to be able to pass the ball 10 yards. We did neither and looked at times completely clueless. Whilst we may not have played a "Manning" style game under Nige perfectly understandable, it was was too much of an ask for these players to change in 3 coaching sessions. Personally I would sacked Nige today (well I would not have sacked him in the first place) and used the international break for multiple sessions with the players to get new messages across. Timings all wrong on his sacking

Two points to make about Frank If he is bad he will be gone within 18 months. If he is really good he will be gone within 18 months. It won't last if he gets the job.

I wasn't really looking at promotion as a realistic target. This squad is limited I think we can all agree. Midtable obscurity is what the budget they set would achieve. To think that this team would achieve more is madness. It feels like they are just crossing their fingers for a run of unbelievable luck to sneak into the playoffs rather than having a finacial plan to back Nige adequately. Madness to suggest anything else.

If promotion was really the ambition of the club, then why setup a budget for basic survival? Its not as if there is any confidence that this board is capable of finding a replacement. I for one am not getting my hopes up. Track record of "exhaustive searches" is pretty shite with the exception of Nige. I for one will really miss him. Stevo

Thanks.

Hey Dave, when you say upload. Where abouts would I find them ?

Know one really wants to watch that. But as expats it's still in there. The need for that 90 minutes.

It is mate. 12c sat in the sunshine with a nice glass of wine!

Good morning all 2 questions if I may. Do we have a list of podcasts available (City related of course) Secondly. Does anyone have a way of "capturing" full games and use a repository to upload them too? In a digital age I am sure this possible. As an expat I miss lots of games due to obscene kick off times and work commitments. I would love to be able to download full games to watch back. Notwithstanding (I try and use this word at least once a day :laugh:), the usual caveats of licensing etc please DM me if you have any info. Thanks in advance. Steve
