    Blackburn and Wigan coming up .... tough opponents for City in the Championship next season especially with some pretty decent teams coming down with their parachutes!  Unlike the rest of you, I went to the Mem today.  Brilliant atmosphere ... old fashioned terrace .. unlike the now sanitised Ashton Gate as my son said.  And those who talk about the 45,000 whatever.  Remember the ground up in Whorefield is always 95% full.  

    A couple of points you make are highlighted  

    old fashioned terrace - it really is only a few steps I would never describe that as an old fashioned terrace

    always 95% full - if by always you mean the past season or so?

    Some facts here show that even the rugby was better attended than the football as recently as 2009
