Coventry City away match thread
Fjmcity replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
I’m reading chant lyrics off my phone you see I was surprised that that is what you’re hearing is all I’m saying. Fairly easy to be on your phone when you know there is not a lot of danger of city actually putting one in the net -

Dammit why didn’t we sign one of those uninjurable players -

“Is this a library” from the city fans at one of the loudest home fans I’ve seen for a while while not singing any songs ourselves -
Damn. Twine being in the team felt like a bright spot to look forward to and maybe a chance for goals. Workman like it is then!

Didn’t collect my ticket, where do you go to collect it when they bring it to the away ground - one of the coaches? -
Would be only fair to pay more to demolish the Colin Daniel’s stand though..

No room behind the SS unless you start bulldozing and tidying up the ayteo in unlikely to get your much more capacity unless you start bulldozing. i don’t think there is too much in the footprint between the lansdown and the dolman to be honest - so a mirror image stand would look pretty good! my ultimate dream would be to bulldoze behind the ayteo and build round the same size from the lansdown making a “park end” pedestrianise the road and just have a stand that feeds out onto the park, could have all your corporate stuff up the top - large amounts of glass looking back across the park and to the bridge

Agree 100% having the rest of the weekend free is priceless. work done, get the football fix, then everything else. Love it - would happily switch 3pm Saturdays to every Friday night

dont spoil the narrative, you woke snowflake

A good point, I guess you have to keep the conveyor moving successfully which is harder to do relying solely on the academy like us now as this takes longer. Probably why “moneyball” got Brentford where they are and how great succession playing can pay off like Brentford. Good examples of what we could be but owners have obviously been much more competent at doing it than ours!

Well adjusted point. 07/08 was incredible and the wave of excitement at being back in the championship propelled us nearly to the prem, we knew we were not the big boys and that us vs them mentality made us a a strong and difficult team to play against and a united club we have been chasing that high ever since but with it has come a huge surge in the expectations of the fans and with that comes an arrogance and entitlement that I don’t think has gone away, even with a chastening relegation in between our long stay in the championship first 16 years of my city supporting career we spent 15 of them in league one. Being an established championship club for much to the subsequent 15 years has been a good return. In reality there are only a limited number of ways a club kicks on from here and only a limited number of clubs who do it 1. Perennial up and downers - pots of cash from parachute payments and top league experience 2. Long term projects getting it right over a sustained period of time to finally make it over the line 3. surprise packages fromnowhere making it up for a season maybe two 4. financially doped to achieve number 3 - rarely works out we will never now be number 3 as we have established our base camp in the championship and number 1 can only be achieved after succeeding at number 2. we are probably firmly in the number 2 area and you’ve got to kiss a lot of frogs to get there, and when I look at my first 16 years that’s what makes me comfortable with where we are. this is the most sustainable way to get to the top flight and clearly what our owners try to do with their rinse and repeat strategy. Are they capable of getting it right? I don’t know but I fear any sale in this day and age only invites people interested in number 4 and can only look at the likes of reading to see how that works out. abridged version: I like the championship, and being stuck in it is better than being stuck in league 1. Back the team and the new ideas and let’s see where it takes us

Struck me today that it must be nearly 25 years since they were last above us? Sadly it’s not quite the full 1/4 century and we are entering the 24th year of utter dominance. Now can’t get out of my head theres just one team in bristol thats all you need to know theres a team that plays in filton but I just don’t want to know because for 24 years we’ve been looking down on the rovers (rovers? Who the **** are rovers) OTIB.

Happy Birthday Louis Carey!
Fjmcity replied to Curr Avon's topic in All Things Ex Players and Managers
Louis Carey is, literally by all measurable statistics our record appearance holder. He has appeared the most times on a football pitch as a Bristol city player. Why anyone fights this or try’s to denigrate the achievement of one of our own is just baffling. to adapt a well known saying “give a city fan a bag containing a million quid.. they’d complain about the colour of the bag” happy birthday louis -
West Ham United at home FA Cup replay match thread
Fjmcity replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Bit flat first half but a consequence of scoring early I think. Second half was pretty consistent and everyone played their part -
Scott Twine - Loan Confirmed - No option to buy
Fjmcity replied to Shauntaylor85's topic in Football Chat
Just got to look at the premier league. 800m spent last January, admittedly skewed slightly by Chelsea but barely 25m spent this time and we are half way through. Chickens are coming home to roost and player “trading” will be the norm for a while. That being considered, this calibre of player being “traded” in is great business. Very happy -
Describe your dream owner, who/what would really make you happy. I'm listening

Timing of this poll is hilarious. TGH scores a relatively easy chance on Saturday first half and this poll doesn’t exist. Funny old bunch, football fans

Been fairly content with the lansdowns myself, bungling but well meaning rogues that they are however you are right on this and now I am absolutely LANSDOWN OUT. The camera is too high at AG and it is absolutely the fault of the man who funded the 50 million pound redevelopment. When oh when will we have an owner who will stop this madness and lower the damn cameras, then AND ONLY THEN will we reach the promised land. I heard Nigel person was secretly working with ground staff to lower the cameras but he got caught by the lansdowns and that’s why he was sacked. Brian tinnion saw him checking out site lines on a Tuesday morning early in November. COINCIDENCE??
