  1. Just been down to Sainsbury's Newton Abbot, got fantastic deals on plastic chairs but in blue or white only.
  2. The 137 pages on The Slags pales into insignificance measured against the 300 pages devoted to our new stadium. Just mention this as it shows your relative importance to us. How's your new stadium getting on by the way? You know, the shiny new one you were singing about at your last visit to The Gate. You have to admit though your Club has been a bundle of laughs over the last few years. Do you think the ownership transfer from Piggs to your multi billionaire Wally could be yet another chapter in your hilarious journey?
  3. Looking forward to the first camel race at UWE.
  4. I find it all pretty bizarre. The Sags appear to be basing their appeal on theft the fact that Sainsbury's weren't very nice to them. That may be so, but hardly something that stands up in a court of law. I suspect the appeal judges recessed to the pub and had a good laugh.
  5. The problem being on the pitch for a Club representing a city the size of Bristol our history is more than a little embarrassing, off the pitch less so. I take some form of perverse pride from the fact that we've never been embarrassed off the pitch during my younger days. As strange and sad as it may sound to some, I know hundreds of others share my view from a great variety of walks of life. Time moves on though and I'm taking as much pride from our new stadium as I did in the days stood on the East and Park Ends, the Enclosure and Dolman defending our patch.
  6. Where they were startled to find yet another group of 'Park End' City throwing missiles at them, as they were parading in front of their own fans doing the 'aren't we hard' act.
  7. That's the one. My 12 year old nephew's first game in Dolman Block A, with wooden seats (with metal fixings) flying over our heads, a guy sat next to us with his leather jacket shredded down the back from top to bottom having gone in the Millwall end (FFS), brawling fans at the top of the stairs. Never seen anything like it, before or after, anywhere in or outside a ground or any form of public gathering. The entire Park from outside the ground to the Cumberland Basin, the surrounding subways, hills and roads rammed full of rioting mobs. The police had totally lost control. It wasn't hundreds but thousands at it that day. Surprisingly, didn't put him off though as now a season ticket holder with his son. Not glorifying it, in fact remember reflecting on the day and thinking Jesz someone could have died (and nearly did) just for a football match.
  8. Nothing will ever, ever compare to Millwall in the early 80's. Absolute mayhem in the Park, the ground and most of Bristol that day. My recollection is that pre-segregation Birmingham did a 'proper job' on the East End as did to a lesser degree, I think, Huddersfield. Post-segregation Spurs had a go but can't remember that many others - mind you most of us had migrated to the Park End by then.
  9. SAG, I'm not sure how you define 'took' but standing in the middle of the Tote End twice surrounded by 1,000 plus fellow City, unmoved for the entire match must come close surely, even for deluded blues. That's smack bang in the middle, not at the back, the side or the front by the way.
  10. Been here before. No surprises. With no Championship standard goal scorers putting chances away, slowly but surely confidence start to ebb away from the entire team. Rot starts to set in with the midfield, then spreads to the back line. Sounds like the decision not to take Baker off was a game changer. Love Cotts, love his set up but that was one massively bad call. The minus points are now starting to add up. He's still in credit for me but only just.
  11. Made to look very much second rate there. Lessons learnt:- Win your 50/50's Don't give the ball away cheaply Don't give your opponents 5 yards space Wing and centre backs get goal side of your opponents on crosses and finally, it's our ground, get your friggin footwear sorted. This season ain't going to be easy.
  12. Great performance. Korey brilliant again. Worries ... Jesz we need a natural goalscorer, Flint got caught square too many times but was generally solid and Frankie needs to dominate the box more. But fantastic overall... and our Joe is back.
  13. If only we had a lethal 'in the box' goal scorer.... so many chances laid on a plate. That's the missing piece of the jigsaw.
  14. Hang on a minute. Is that not a garden shed to the left of the container? This is what potential investors are looking for in committing cash to a project... clear signs of growth and improvement. I think we should be worried... if a second-hand precast concrete garage arrives that'll be the sign the major investor has been found.
  15. Ummm.... Yes, but women and children, with such apparent gusto? Stay classy Slags.
  16. Just so funny the deluded few still go on about City being at that Mansfield match. Why think any City would dream of attending their survival celebration party is beyond me. The odds on them ****ing things up were so outlandish that you'd got more favourable ones on spotting Lord Lucan at the local Sainsbury's.
  17. How much longer do we have to wait to tell the Slags that Comrade Higgs is another imposter following the long line of successful incursions including Sir John Ward, Lord Clarkson et al? BTW .. I exchanged my shares for a brick, then swapped the brick for a food voucher. Not many have played the stock market that well I tell you.
  18. Actually, I think his latest post might have a semblance of truth. Didn't the Wonga type company have the ground as security against their loan? Wasn't the loan used to fund the legal costs? Think the ground is, therefore, at risk unless the Directors stump up the cash.
  19. Think they are in the serious pooh now. Are they going to pour any more money into this? Have they got any more? Any sensible football agent will be putting a serious health warning on the Club. The Wonga vultures will be gathering picking off the carcass soon.
  20. Is it just me, or does everyone read that as 'Gash eads'? I know, they've not a ounce of originality between them and steal nicknames (as well as songs, grounds etc) from all their rivals .......but I thought promoting themselves as 'The Gash' might be a step too far. Strange lot.
  21. Looks like he thought all football league games were going to have a sausage protest.
  22. Special mention to Frankie, who's handling was immaculate, and Aden who was an absolute rock. We were busy, but not dominant, for long periods of that match. YTFC have no cutting edge but played decent football. Hope they stay up. Atmosphere was, indeed, dire.
