    They could be in a fair bit of trouble for that. 

     

    Just been on asschat and you won’t be surprised to know they say it can’t be them as there was quarter of an hour left. Apparently groups of thugs hang around the stadium during the match hoping for trouble.

    Repeat it couldn’t be da roverz

    I don't care about Wycombe one way or the other and I like to think I'm a pretty level headed bloke. However, I was at the game where the 'lightening strike' happened. Admittedly I'm not an expert on such things . but I would like to think that if I was in a structure that was hit by lightening I would probably realise it had happened. Seemingly it was only their safety officer who saw the lightening strike, added to the fact that Wycombe had been practically begging the ref to abandon the game up until then ,  I'm gonna stick my neck out and say yes, the dirty  ******* cheated and I was raging at the time!

    In the interest of balance, I freely admit that if this had happened to City, I would have found it extremely amusing :)

     

    Care to comment about Stockport at home just before the 2nd leg of the JPT Final against us when your club flooded the pitch to avoid playing an in form Stockport.

    Seems like Karma to me

    Isn't Fanta 'Nazi Cola'?

    Sure I read a story once that alluded to Fanta being a drink that was created under sanctions.

    Correct it is short for Fantastiche. Coca Cola wanted to expand in the 1930s but the Nazi regime would not allow the Cocal Cola brand so they created Fanta.

    They are cool fans....I was once in Northampton when Barnet happened to be playing the Cobblers away.....so I joined them in the away end....what great support they gave non stop for 90 minutes....I was well impressed...

    I did some ground hopping a couple of years ago and went to the Hive when they played Crewe. Their fans were great. When I mentioned being a City fan we had a right laugh taking the piss out of the fewers

    We got humped by Barnet the last two times we played them....both in 2005 - they gubbed us 3-2 in the LDV Vans Trophy and 2-4 in the League Cup at Ashton Gate - and the crowd that night at our stadium was less than 4k - not much to crow about there! Oh, and Gary Bull didn’t play in either game, he left Barnet 12 years before those fixtures to join Forest....

    We played Barned in 1989/90 season and Gary Bull played in that one. 2-0 at the Gate.

    Haha, that’s pathetic. Under 8000 in L1 again, thought they said they had fantastic support?

    Ive already seen them on Facebook crowing about selling more than us for QPR.

    Funny how they make an effort when it’s a cup tie at a ground they haven’t visited for 40 years but they can’t be bothered to get out of their armchairs when they’re at home in the League?

    Really poor support.

     

    Add to that QPR are charging only £10. Our tickets were £30 plus

    I see the stand is sponsored by Bristol energy , isn’t that the loss making company ? 

    A great match then :) 

    Unfortunately though the losses come from Bristol Council Tax payers. Technically all Bristolian City fans are subsidising this sponsorship

    Yeah I was there and despite our woeful performances it was sad to see him go in the way he did and many of us had great sympathy for him. I think he may have hung around a bit for Smith to be ready to take over, clearly as demonstrated at Forest his heart hadn't been in it for some time.

    I was there too. It was a shame because Jimmy was a cracking No 2 and had some good contacts in the game. Hence signing Jacki.

    He was a genuinely nice guy too. I grew up in Ashton and often saw Jimmy in the CosyCafe/Al's Tikka Grill

    Could be my age but I recall two very similar incidents both arising after heavy losses at Ipswich. Both involved pretty decent human beings with, as you say, Ward being the other. In Glumsden's case I think we lost fairly early in the Season (hence my thoughts about DC post day 1) where he effectively offered his resignation but was cajoled to stay in position for a number of months despite a string of poor performances. I'll never forget one game at the end of his reign when he sat on his own on the far side of the pitch at Forest as we took a battering in the cup, looking like he hadn't a friend in the world and with the weight of his tragic, personal circumstance bearing on his shoulders.

    Ward did a similar thing half a dozen years later post the 'Clarence Winerack' debacle but in his case and having learned the lesson of Jimmy L he departed almost immediately.

    Lumsden was sacked after a 2-1 away defeat at Charlton which was played at Upton Park
