Happy birthday Louis. By C.A. ‘s judgment my grandad was a snappy dresser too. 

That’s not him by the way. He was a No6 man. 

No6 one of my fav players

My boyhood fav player Big John Galley was

I don't agree. They came down and pretty much have the same team this season. Its not like they have gone out and spent tens of millions on new players. Fair play to them.

Prob spent tens of millions season or two before .

Always remember when he took his position in goal.  Taking a few strides along the goal line and jumping to touch the crossbar. He wasn’t the biggest!  But agree our best. 

After touching cross bar he would do same to penalty spot, " gibbo gibbo   gibbo gibbo gibbo"

It`s about all those Izal ones they had on trains were good for. Bugger all use for wiping your arse but they didn`t half travel when you chucked them.

Were like thick tracing paper, smeared like hell, and hurt if they fell short (",)

Glos are Gas. Simple as for me.

South Meadow born and bred, follow Glos result of the exploits of a certain M J Proctor, and City as my elder bro took me to Ashton Gate circa 1964

Last 5 or so seasons we have lost a lot of home matches and drawn quite a few,. dropping 25 + pts a season. Side ways football and hardly any play to cheer at, fans need to be excited, i prefer to watch us play away from home

South West/West Country clubs occupying seven out of the top ten in NLS after today. Only Weymouth letting the side down in 15th.

Went to weston game v hemmel hempstead, good game weston should/could have won, best player injured and man sent off

I think most of us are fairly pragmatic about level of performance.

However got to be said the years and years of perennial underachievement doesn’t half start to grind!!

Dropping 20 + points at home every season do not inspire either

Ironically the poorer squads probably benefit more in this tournament for not losing so many players

Assume that is why Gastershire were flirting around the top end of the table for a while ?  

Glous not flirting, consistently crap, odd result now and again but crap mostly, like a poor chat up line

There are soooo many connotations with a name like Knight..it's a Copywriters dream?      Knight rider - Knight fever - A hard day's Knight - Saturday  Knights all right - Tonight's the Knight - All of the day and all of the .........?   I could go on, but i won't!   But i do like the Moody Blues reference! ............And it's  Good Knight from me.

If he dont score  'Barren Knights' (",)

Glos will play to smeeds strengths (",)

Northerners are generally more passionate people - worked up there regularly.
As far as AG goes, just watch a game in the Lansdown stand - like a library as the chant goes. The old AG was a run down ground etc, but you could get an atmosphere when the East End, Enclosure and Dolman got behind the team. Bristol public just like to sit and watch a game nowadays, very little chanting etc.
The new ground -  

Dropping 25/30 pts a season for last 5 seasons hasnt helped imo

I always remember a game away at Leeds under Lee Johnson. 2017/2018 I think. We were 2 - 0 up and utterly in control. Midway through the second half the Leeds fans made an utterly incredible noise in support of their side and willed their side back into the game. In the end, we desperately held on for 2-2. I can’t remember ever seeing a set of fans so clearly influence their side’s performance and I’ve had a grudging respect for Leeds fans ever since.

Was at that game too, fam had chance to make it 3 nil and didnt, leeds hit the bar last min, theyre fans didnt stop singing second half

As I write this they occupy three of the four play off places… so what’s the secret?

We hear a lot about budgets but arguably these clubs must have some of the lowest budgets in the league. Logic would suggest they shouldn’t be where they are. Quite often you get a surprise package each season but not three. What are they doing so right that clubs like ourselves and many others aren’t???

Not dropping 25/30 pts at home every season
