You're right about not being noisy...I lived in Horfield for several years and you couldn't tell when they were home, ******* silent every home game which was a bit of a surprise considering how much they've always blown their own trumpet about making an atmosphere. When I was a young kid in Bedminster you could always hear the crowd at the Gate. As for the length of this thread, it's only this big due to the ammunition they've given us over the last few years, in particular the hilarious year in the '5th division'. Comedy gold, such a funny little football club. I'll miss them when they up sticks like a 'franchise' club and move out of Bristol again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See , now that has the ring of truth about it. A very similar situation between gAss and LA Rams. Rams moved to St Louis , and apparently are moving back. Where as the gAss moved to Bath , moved back and are now leaving again. NOW THAT IS A FRANCHISE CLUB !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murraysrightplum Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 credit where it's due. We are happy to give them abuse when they do stupid stuff but we shouldn't ignore it when they do well. Red cards or no red cards they just can't stop winning and if they keep it up will have the worst ground in the championship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The chance of them getting a third successive promotion is virtually zero in my opinion, but imagine if they do it. They are going to be so completely out of their depth up here that it will be great entertainment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So theyve had a good start on the back of some momentum and a fair amount of good fortune. Do they have the ability, squad depth and resources to stay up there for 35 or so more games? Absolutely not is my opinion. Its not ridiculous. Your touchy and defensive post about our arch rivals is though.

Your touchy and defensive post about our arch rivals is though. Also considering the quality of teams currently above and the fact they lost to Bolton, Scunthorpe and Sheffield United. Still got plenty of decent L1 teams to come yet as well, they won't be saved by the ref & the linesmen nearly every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks desperate and petty when some fans on here try to mock their league form. By all means...mock them for believing they have pots of cash, mock them for believing that they will get a new ground. Mock them for thinking they are better supported then us. We proved a few years back under Johnson senior that with momentum and a bit of good fortune with injuries ...you can go a long way. Letc hope your right and they implode soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, they have won 5 in 7 but before they didnt win in 6 just before that and some were already questioning Clarke, I'm sure that they will implode soon enough and again they'll be calling for their 'hero' to be sacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Let the form continue, so long as they do a Holloway-esque collapse and go from autos to 7th when it matters. Oh wait, seems they've forgotten their ability to do that. Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Like us, some of their form/results are down to loan players who have come in from a higher placed club. Be interesting to see if either club strengthen these key positions during the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2007-08 and bringing in NC and DA only, and then the overspend that followed when less attractive, I think it's safe to say the chequebook would be wide open if we were in such a position and found a player we wanted. Their recent history in the transfer market, I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Why would they get battered every week? They've adjusted at every level quite well so far under Clarke? Burton are doing alright, Rotherham stayed up first year . . . ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
