I hear right that it’s your best start to a season for 15 years ( crazy after everything leading up to it) Also what happened between your fans and the stewards yesterday? I'm not sure if it's our best start for 15 years but Garner has certainly got them playing well and we've recruited nungary young players who want to win and not just after a final pay day. The stewards seem to start the trouble with one in particular saying don't mess with the Taliban and attempting to throw some punches at fans which upset some of our idiots who then retaliated. The steward was then dragged away by his buddies and a few things were broken and thrown onto the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but not because of Covid. He just doesn't want to bring shame on his family by being recognised in that shirt. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years later the young announced they were building a couple of thousand homes!! All sites in and around Swindon have been developed so I can't see that there's anywhere to build a new stadium as Junction 15 has the GWH hospital plus new houses and all along the A419 is built up or allocated for another 8000 homes. There are plans to redevelop the County ground with the new owner once he's sorted out Powers mess but it won't happen overnight. Ideally it would be great to turn the stadium around 90 degrees but the cricket ground is the problem as the pavilion has heritage protection so we may have been to build a new Townend and redevelop the Stratton bank and put a roof on it. If there’s a listed pavilion in the way of development in Bristol it would usually be burnt down in mysterious circumstances. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was unfair blaming you guys without any proof but they should be thankful as they wouldn't playing in the state of the art stadium today if it hadn't burnt down! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to join in then fine, but if you wish to come on a Bristol City forum and keep us informed about the latest goings on at STFC then why not start a thread just for this purpose? Then anybody remotely interested in your club will be able to join in with you. Leaving the dustbin thread for those of us to enjoy without having to read about the latest goings on around your magic roundabout.

Bristol Rob Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Just popped over to their forum to see if they were coming for us again. Nope. The only effort of note was a newly registered poster being called 'I smell shit' within 3 posts of starting a thread introducing himself, and a moderator locking a thread about how they could make the place better because they now know how to ignore each other. Classic fewer behaviour. It's absolutely no surprise they can't attract new fans and their support is dropping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
