Wouldn’t it be giving the teams in Tier 1 (Norwich / Bournemouth) a bit of an advantage with support over clubs in Tier 3?

Are Norwich and Bournemouth tier one?

Tier 1: Medium alert

South East

• Isle of Wight

South West

• Cornwall
• Isles of Scilly

From BBC....

Manchester United face LASK Linz in Austria on Thursday night for the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, the game will now be played without fans present in the ground.

I’ve missed the details on this generally. 

So we can now use the Long Ashton park & ride and the Metro bus goes from there to Ashton Gate..? 

 

I have no idea but would love to know. I sent a message asking this very question to Metrobus but didn't get a reply.

Our wonderful Ashton bus Metro fiasco has dropped to a new level

The metro bus which ain't no good for night time match's and which us football fans have to pay for.

Will be FREE for the rugger boys on Saturday.

Let's see if we will be given the same privilege for our next home Saturday game against Stoke City 

 

Always believed this myself but noticed on the Metrobus site that the gates are locked at 22.45. Maybe it is ok for weekday evenings if you are prepared to walk back? I sent a message to Metrobus about using the facility for City games but didn't get a reply!

The last time I didn't buy a season ticket was when Pulis was appointed manager. Couldn't stand the bloke, his Gas connection and style of football.

However, I watched the Pulis interview (posted above) and found him honest (I think), interesting and respectful. Crazy since I have stopped watching the Johnson interviews towards the end of last season as I find them full of excuses, management speak and bull. 

Pulis will still get stick from me come 3pm.

Made my first visit to Villa Park on 4 May 1968, as an eleven year old, it finished Villa 2 City 4. Anyone remember who scored for us that day?

Reckon today it will be 1-1 with Snodgrass and Brownhill scoring.

Who actually scored, flint or maggers?

Goal! Hull City 2, Bristol City 1. Aden Flint (Bristol City) right footed shot from very close range to the top left corner following a set piece situation.

And Reid!

FC Wimbledon continuing to humiliate Rovers.

0-3 and Dopey is blubbering.

As they don't have a game on Tuesday (Moved as both Rovers and Rotherham out of the FA cup) they could be in or around the drop zone by the time they next play 

Just now, Esmond Million's Bung said:

Yes and I believe you will find that we lost quite a few last season by the odd goal, games that we should have won.

Agree. Shades of last season.

If i'm being critical,  I'd like to see more on target. BBC says only three on target.

just 2 points @havanatopia

1) what took you so long too post

2) the bit in bold are you sitting on the fence there?

Ref 2). Maybe Hav thinks that some managers have been fired too soon - SC could be one?

It's been discussed many times what might have been if SC had been afforded the financial backing that Lee has had.

Credit where it's due; no changes despite the quick turn around - if that the first time this season LJ has done that?

He could has argued that players would have tired, but has stuck with it, which I think is wise.

Still think a point would be a solid result as Blackburn will be up for it.

Have strange feeling Taylor will notch a goal today too; no idea why!

We're the Fulham away and Leeds home, earlier in the season played with the same starting 11. Both wins.
