The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Sorry, one for the oldies. What was the reference to Chris Crowe’s England caps? I thought he only won one, and that was before he joined City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he also said it was a ‘ different time ‘ . Who did Alan Dicks have to sell to balance the books for FFP ? I know SL is an honourable man who values trust and honesty but this could just be his downfall as he is maybe the only owner in football who is . He is perhaps too close to his protege to take decisions that hurt . I hope SL and LJ prove me wrong, I really do . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I like SL...he comes across as a well meaning individual and has done great things for Bristol. He is also honest in saying he's got an Ego...and that Ego imo, is about leaving a Legacy in Bristol. Will Lansdown be mentioned as much as Brunel in years to come? Either way...we benefit from his legacy building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interesting in the interview that he can conceive of City getting to the Premier League but then being relegated. He only alludes to this but it's there - the possible scenario of City as a yo-yo club. I'm sure we could live with that. For a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stand was literally rocking (the floor was moving up and down) . I was thinking that it was about to collapse. I remember emailing Doug Harman after the game suggesting that they get in a structural engineer to check it over. Since then of course the stand was completely refurbished.

I know this and it’s the same old story if the big clubs come sniffing round the money for player and club is difficult to turn down . Kevin ‘ superstar ‘ Mabbutt also went , to Palace .

It was truly amazing and a bit scary to feel the stand shaking!.Talk about the place rocking........ I look back on Danny Wilson’s days with find memories of that era.

RedRock Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Can remember a couple of occasions when that happened.... it wasn’t just the shaking that was a bit alarming, dust actual rose up from the ground and cavities in the stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 14 hours ago, Lanterne Rouge said: It is pretty much all they have to cling on to TBH. If they accept that he is actually in it for the long haul their final faint hope of ever getting remotely close to, let alone overtaking, us vanishes in a puff of smoke and they would have to face the grim reality of their own situation. Unfortunately if we keep playing as we have the last few months then mid - table obviously we all know could be a possibility. Rovers on the other hand and i hate to say it are doing quite well. If things do not change soon they will possibly be close to us in the next year or so and the local derbies will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the same Rovers who have 1 win in 14 games.......? And yet you see our form as failing......? I'm very confused right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have wanted and still want LJ to be successful but at this moment in time after the successes of 2 years ago defending him is becoming more challenging. If things don't change and soon then optimism and goodwill will diminish and back we slide again. Have renewed - not with enthusiasm or confidence but with hope which wears a bit thin after many years supporting the Robins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
