At least then we’d be confident the players would RUNARRRRAAAOOUND

When has this ever happened though? 

My first City games were 94/95 against Tranmere and Derby County. Crowds of about 8,000 rattling around a more than half empty stadium. I don't recall the atmosphere being vociferous or intimidating. 

That's cos yer rock hard, Kid

They were, they were really awful.

Only visit there for me was the game after Louie Donowa’s goal that beat the gas.

0-0, 12000 crowd, they were booed off.

Absolute myth that they have always had good crowds.

Yeah, but .... that was a good crowd, given, er, the points you made earlier in the thread ....

The home game in the league, the season before was my first derby game, wasn't a spare seat in the ground

Just looking at Scunthorpe there is a real reminder of how bad things have been for others

Do you mean by this to say: things could be worse, look at Scunthorpe? 

I would imagine three of the teams at the top of that table ...

Nothing confirmed yet but just saw this. It may be quiet at BS3 until we stuff Leicester who dont now want to get to the Premier league as they'll face points deductions, but this is of relevance to anyone on here who still wants SL to punt more of HIS millions into getting us promoted (some year). The entire PL has been so discredited i cant believe it will exist in a few years time. Begs an older question of what we do want financially from our owners. Main point is watch this space re Etihad City as it'll ripple down the leagues;

The Commission added: “Where a PSR breach is ‘minor’, then it will be for other Commissions to determine if any points deduction is necessary, appropriate or proportionate.

“But if the breach is properly described as ‘major’ then it may be the case that even a very severe sanction such as expulsion is more appropriate.”

The "get yer wallet out Steve" of years gone by is all but gone now, replaced by the more blunt "sell up and **** off" if you hadn't noticed? 

Lansdown and Warnock - what could go wrong?

Reading it the wrong way. They’re not saying it’s our fault . The atmosphere is like it because it’s been created by the clubs decisions 

Get it now, thanks for (patiently) explaining

No. He didn’t say it was our fault. He said the atmosphere has been building since Pearson was sacked. 

Yeah, and it's getting in the way of the players playing, and the coach coaching. And the coach referred to "negativity" himself. Implication seems clear.

Can’t tune in so updates would be great 

Piercy said, the atmosphere down the ground is stopping the players from playing, and even stopping Manning from coaching how he wants to coach. So, it's our fault.

very well, I think differently. 

Whether we're a dull club or not is more about what others think about us, than what we think. I don't think we need to ask, we can guess that we will be considered tremendously unremarkable. Beige. 

I just don't get the insistence of so many posters on here to not allow fellow supporters of Bristol City who can only get through each and every day being a Bristol City supporter by hiding their head inside a dream, by creating their own Bristol City "reality," and forcing upon them instead the painful truth.

Just leave @Shauntaylor85 be, let him be with his dream. If we only had ambition, SL would pick up the phone and Robins would pop in his car and be here by midday. And then everything Cov are enjoying right now, we would be enjoying instead.

I like it!

Crazy keeper but it's not quite popping round to yer neighbour's with yer chainsaw and setting about their garage, fer me

Be that as it may, Reading fans have had a much more interesting ride than we’ve had. Two Premier League promotions, a play off final, and an FA Cup semi final at Wembley.

Reading are a dull club but that season they won the Championship with 100 and whatever points, crikey, that was something 

Enzo Bearzot should've subbed Marco Tardelli, after that absurd, histrionic, latin reaction to scoring a bleedin goal, ffs

I have always thought that being an Everton fan must be incredibly dull.

To stave off the tedium and repetition and same old same old, Evertonians get ****ing angry, about everything, like not getting a throw in. Anything.  

We are top end for dullness. Top six in the country/92, I would say. Stagnant. Steve Lansdown might be many things but he's not exactly colourful and lively, which can be a strength in an owner but dearie me, we are uninteresting.

 Neither were. It's a myth that Hitler was. 

You learn something new every timeon the odd occasion on here, thanks. Still need to choose between Hitler and Himmler, though .....

Both. There should be that option too.

Like choosing between Hitler or Himmler.

Was Himmler a veggie?

That Diego Simeone and his Atlètico Madrid could use a bit of this emotion-free football, they might get somewhere if they did. In fact, the entirety of Argentina and Argentinian football could do worse than make their way up Failand and form an orderly queue at our High Performance Centre so's they could discover from Liam Manning what ridding theirselves of all that pesky bleedin emotion would do for them and their emtionally-incontinent football ....

This is far worse than LJ, LJ had a personality and a bit of bite in him - this guy is devoid of anything 

He never beat Southampton though, did LJ
