So I’m assuming someone with a perfectly legal firestick will still be able to watch all the games? 

Disappointed he called us Bristol on several occasions. 
 

Did enjoy both webinars though 

Have the posted a picture of the back of the card?

Didn't realise Marlon Pack had let him out of his back pocket

I live in Sheffield these days. Any other City fans in this city? 

Gainsborough 

Might be worth looking a little further a field and get the tram to the ground - Horrible away day for parking / drinking etc  

Hi Dave,

I don't expect you to look through them all but if you have any for any games against Scunthorpe (Or any other Lincolnshire team) I would be happy to take them off your hands

Hit the bar is just outside the train station, they let away fans in

Isaac Wilson?  The prices look VERY reasonable! 

Does anyone any good pubs for tomorrow? I’ve just looked at Dr Browns where I went last time I went up but it’s closed down unfortunately. 
 

When you look at the standard of teams they supply there is no surprise why our club shop is so poor.

I don't put all the blame on O'Neill's.. It was still poor with Hummel although much better quality home & away shirts


Something as simple as these would be good:

I apricate it's Nike and we're O'Neill's but the standard of designs and quality have been poor for as long as I can remember. We're not asking for Stone Island / CP Company designs etc as football fans we are probably reasonably easy to please and deserve much better!

Shouldn't need to go to Manchester. 

Bristol to Birmingham New Street and then get the west coast mainline straight to Preston (Lancs). 

Good to hear! I'm coming from Lincolnshire and usually see a few City fans knocking around Manchester Piccadilly 

Be careful if anyone is booking trains there seems to be a few bus replacements from Preston to Manchester

Come to Ashton gate and you’ll see him play 

Signed for Bristol City and he’s here to stay

I really want to, come kick it with you 

You’ll be my Albanian boy, Albanian boy

Hello all. 
 

hope you dont mind me posting this. I am a Sunderland fan and made this video covering todays game.

I live in the southwest so days like today are essentially home games for me. Visited Ashton Gate numerous times (including Arctic Monkeys and the Arnold Clark cup this year) and absolutely love the ground. Anyway, today was a fair result. If the game was 4 hours long we wouldn’t have scored. Good luck for the rest of the season and cant wait to come back next  year. 
 

 

Next year? I see you’re confident of us both being promoted! Enjoy watching match day vlogs will pop this on my watch list

Because most of the time was spent on important matters such as where away fans are positioned. 

And VAR!

Football merchandising for clubs really isn't that hard to get right either. I don't see why the club have been continually poor with it for years. I was disappointed it wasn't raised at the Fans Forum

Wish someone raised this  at the fans forum

To make matters worse, the tinpot outfit up the road have their entire club shop run by The Terrace Shop who produce some very tidy casual wear for a few English clubs in every division on a licensing basis (i.e. they don't have to take over the club shop in the way Rovers have lock stock handed this all over, they can just produce some quality gear for clubs under a licensing agreement).

For whatever reason City is (wrongly) convinced by their own ability to produce good looking merchandise. Yes a lot of English clubs just use Terrace Shop for on demand merchandise (i.e. phone covers, mouse mats) but Sheffield Wednesday are among those (like the Gas) to have lots of casual wear and clothing including vintage and retro stuff, produced by The Terrace under licence.

I'm friends with the lads that run The Terrace great lads and put 100% into every club they work with and genuinely care about what the fans want  

They print the majority if not all their stock inhouse and have a really impressive turnaround time - I would be all for City using them / another company.

Kids sizes are all over the place.  The sizing is weird as hell.  7-8. 8-9,9-10,10-11, 12-13, 13-14....  Where's the 11-12 range?  Just randomly miss it out, why don't you!  And have a guess where my lad fits into that sizing range! 

It's possible that in store stock may be better. but as I've always got my lad with me it'd kinda ruin the surprise on Christmas Day.  It just seems to be a same person, different hat situation.   Last season I struggled to get stuff for Christmas, and now am looking at a repeat of the same this year.  Circumstances stopped me from getting it in early this year, but I'll have to start getting stuff whenever it comes out next season to avoid more of the same.

So bloody frustrating, as Christmas should be a massive influx of money for the club and every year it's the same!  

The selfishness in my didn't look at kids as I don't have that issue, however agree they should be fully stocked especially going into Christmas and on the back of Black Friday weekend

If someone could raise kit suppliers that'd be grand.  We left Hummel because of supply issues and now we find ourselves with a massive shortage of stock in the run up to Christmas, especially online.  What is being done about that? (An explanation of the thinking behind the Splat would also be great!)

To be fair the kits are reasonably well stocked online at the moment. The store in general online is poor though and needs addressing / an overhaul of new and good merchandise. They've done reasonably okay putting some new Christmas stuff online but then missing out on simple stuff like a 2024 calendar for example.  We're almost into December and don't have the option to buy any of the players training gear, you can buy a polo top but that's it.. Again I know it's not a massive issue to most people but it's really not hard to get it right. Some of the lifestyle clothing has been on there well over a year and was rubbish when it went up and it's rubbish now (Sizing, designs, material) I'm not sure who would be responsible for this. But would be nice for someone to address this.

Baffles me why the club aren't using the sports bar.

I think they’ve said before they wanted to make it feel more independent so did it in a mutual venue

Hello fellow Lincolnshire Northern Red, 

Have you got a IPTV service on your firestick? Some of them can transfer over to an app on your Smart TV but I find it easier just to use the firestick

Should be okay. I’m doing the 18:05 but not going back to Bristol which is more than okay.
