Initially it was said that he could miss this game and the following few but in yesterday’s presser he was talking about looking forward to going back.

“Not just from another country, he looked to be from a different planet today” Motson on Jackie. One of my favourite away days, horrible away pen I seem to remember, dreadful weather but we’ll worth the trip.

Very much looking forward to this trip. Haven’t set foot in Leicester since we won that famous FA cup tie in January 1992. So a new ground for me and very close to the old Filbert St I understand. I think it will be a bit warmer than 1992 as it was one of the few games played that day as icy weather swept across the country. Same result will do just fine.

Oh right, hope he’s ok.

Could barely hear anything in the lower Lansdown when the ref was having technical problems. BTW is @Robbored banned? Not heard from him for a while

Yes, there was a lot I didn’t like about the new offering but that twist was unexpected, funny and stupid.

I sit in the Lower Lansdown and I often look down to the front and remember being at the very front when we beat Liverpool 1-0 (Royle) There used to be a barrier just before the wall that a smallish person, child, could sit on and that’s where I was. I can remember dropping my programme but by then it was so packed there was no way I could manoeuvre off the barrier to get it, so I waited until full time. I’ve still got the programme and it still bears the scars of people treading on it.

Midweek games have always attracted groups that play football at weekends, I’m always hearing how some would love to come as a group of 3, 4, 5 and not pay a fortune. If only there was room for them in the South stand! Recently, including last night they could have sat a group of 30 together no problem in there.

I remember a thread like this from Brighton fans when they were at the Withdean. Tomorrow they play in Europe

There’s a thread on him started just above…..or below

Great performance and great atmosphere in parts but it was a bit embarrassing when thousands left before half time. There was obviously going to be quite a bit of extra time because of the early technical incident so we had about 8-10 minutes with a sparse crowd. In that time Plymouth were imploding, their keeper let a ball run out of play when it was a corner and then a terrible pass I think it was. Anyway it had the Plymouth fans singing “this is an embarrassment” but our crowd was silent when they should really have been hammering Plymouth and making their players even more uncomfortable.

When I couldn’t get on OTIB all day I thought Tom had finished and pulled the plug and that was that! I must say the thought of no OTIB was a bit scary, I was about to book some counselling then all of a sudden we’re back. Yay.

In all the excitement I forgot to pick up my Leicester ticket last night. Is it like it used to be where they take all uncollected tickets to Leicester and I’ll be able to collect it there?

I’ve had a lot of Plymouth fans giving their opinion today, almost feels like being back in Bristol on derby day for me. I’m really looking forward to this and getting a much needed home win. COYR

They've been a bit confusing all round. Pushing the 3000 fans to Preston was a bit of an exaggeration. And their figures if nearly 6000 fir the 2 games don't quite add up. Can't be that difficult to just give the exact figure

Yes it is a bit confusing as they don’t give exact numbers. This was from the official site today. It says nearly 3000 at Preston and just over 3000 tomorrow making NEARLY 6000 https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/bristol-city-schumachers-preview

Just over 3000 sell out for Plymouth, certainly not 3400

I’m picking my ticket up tomorrow. I’m presuming it’ll be from the ticket cabin’s as you enter from Winterstoke rd, anyone know?

I wasn’t expecting him to play any part yet. He hasn’t had a proper pre season and although he’s been training hard, on his own through the summer, it’s not going to get you Premier league match ready. And it’s not like the Burnley players are looking for a rest, they’ve only played 3 games. He’ll have to be patient but there’ll be opportunities as the long season gets going

This is why the club should do something to try and free up seats that aren’t going to be used for whatever reason, in the south stand it’s usually because the seats belong to children that rarely go.

Crikey, there always seems to be trouble brewing, certainly in the first division days which ended in disaster. After that felt good with Terry Cooper having about 7 roles but they had no money so few choices to be made. Maybe in Scott Davidson’s early days or Lansdown’s early days. I’ve no real idea just how things felt as a fan looking in from the outside

You’ve just reminded me, Somerset’s CEO has just quit……………..

I’m not gonna lie, It’s not the job interview opening line I was expecting.

Gets my vote!

The odds are shortening on a club representative inviting @Davefevsout for coffee again very soon.
