He didn't rush back, which he's perfectly entitled to do, but perhaps didn't create the greatest of first impressions. In all honesty, appointing him in the first place was probably the biggest mistake, because he'd been very critical of Revie and a number of the players in the past. Johnny Giles was Revie's recommendation, but the Directors didn't want to upset Bremner, who they knew would want the job. Clough was the obvious choice, best manager around at the time, player power won the day though, that was the start of Leeds’ decline, in saying that they were robbed in the European cup final, Leeds were the best supported ‘other team’ in Bristol in those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you missed my reply earlier. The reason there's no seats in the Atyeo is because of some idiots at the Swansea game. If it hadn't been for them, plus the damage Leeds fans did last season, then Leeds would have the whole stand anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should put more trust in the Leeds fans. if we ever get to the Premiership we will be using the Atyeo for an overspill of City fans for every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read from Julie why Leeds had a smaller allocation, but see no mention anywhere about the Swansea game affecting the stand being split into two groups of supporters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also young though, and I think he might have handled things differently if he had been a bit older and a bit wiser. He needed to get the players on his side, but instead chose to rubbish them. Experienced professionals, who had already won a lot of honours in the game, were not going to take kindly to that approach. He was also without Peter Taylor, of course, who would no doubt have helped him in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swansea game shows that with a large away following there can be trouble and so I'd imagine the club are taking extra steps to ensure safety off the back of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great film either way The film (from memory) is much lighter than the book (which is really quite dark). The book is obviously based on factual events, but then David Peace "imagines" what is going on inside the minds of the leading characters. I think this is where he moves into the realms of fantasy. You'll probably be aware that Giles took legal action against Peace over his portrayal and got him to remove certain parts that were simply untrue. Peace is an Huddersfield Town supporter and dislikes Leeds with a vengeance anyway. Clough's family too were unhappy with his portrayal of their father/grandfather as someone with a drink problem, because they say he simply didn't have one at that point in his life. Tbh, I'm not sure how Peace gets away with the "novels" he writes. Possibly by waiting until many of the leading characters have died, so they're not around to defend themselves or sue him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 That's bloody annoying, those extra seats would have been better than the single I've purchased at the top corner of the Dolman, and I told a mate he couldn't go as it was the last seat left.

... Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone from BCFC listening?? A friends of mine just spent 45 totally frustrating minutes on the Bristol Sport website trying to give the club £80 for tickets for the Leeds game. After 45 minutes they have given up submitting over and over again their details, for seats the club has for sale. And these are IT literate folk, who regularly use the internet, and ticket buying websites. Have a ****ing word with yourselves, BCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlborough Red Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Fantastic to get a sell out. However we know that an awful lot of ST holders don't turn up for one reason or another , particularly in the South Stand. I see no reason why the Club cant resale these tickets when advised by ST holders. Must be possible top get a system in place where ST holders get some kind of credit for doing this . Extra revenue for the Club and more bums on seats. Top clubs never seem to have this problem with no empty seats on view. Come on City , sort it out.

They have arranged to do something different now so it's lost money for the club, releasing tickets how they are is ridiculous imo. If people are happy to sit on their own they will pick a seat on their own when that is all that is left. When they are not releasing seats together it is will put people off going especially parents with kid(s). Miss out this week and they may not go as frequently, get a few seats together and they may go next game as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
