22A

Connahs Quay 2 -TNS 1 in the Welsh Cup Final today. With TNS walking the League, both teams are in Europe next season.

Bromley now meet Solihull next Sunday for a place in the EFL.

Five mins later 2-1 and Bromley are the only team on the pitch.

1-1 after 50 mins.

Altrincham gone 1-0 up at Bromley.

https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/313013/bristol-city-team-selection They hope for a full strength team to help win three on the bounce. So, now we're safe, are we giving last day starts to Sidibe and Lowe? Or are we keeping the same team and making sure we finish strong? I'd be tempted to keep it as it is tbh. further down that thread; Haven’t Bristol beaten us on the last 5 occasions they’ve visited? Yes they have. Five successive home losses to what must be the most mundane, beige club in the entire division. Incredible run of results really, and we’ve won 4/6 at Ashton Gate during the same period.

But for continued mirth; do we have to wait until August, or will they muck up a transfer during the Summer months?

In their play off game; after 30 mins Solihull are winning 2-0 at Barnet.

I didn't realise until told; Max has kept 14 clean sheets this season.

To complete the day, City won, Rovers lost, Glos are beating Middlesex and in the rugby, Bristol won at Leicester.

Meanwhile up at Neville Road, Glos are 218 / 4 and have a lead if 15 in their first innings.

And as I wrote, he gives away a pen and is booked for arguing the decision.

Phillips in the Rotherham goal looks useful also.

And now the game is over; still none of the moaning levels we'd have on OTIB; https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=46446&start=20 We looked like 11 strangers playing for the first 30 minutes. No closing down of any meaningful intent, they had so much space to gain confidence on the ball. I was astounded how easily they played around us. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse it somehow did. Need to recover from this quickly. I’m fairly resigned to staying in the Champs next season, we won’t go up playing like this and if we do, we will be taken apart by Prem teams, we won’t be able to afford the marquee players we need. Sadly. Just hope we can hang on to Rutter, Joseph and Firpo(!) and rebuild a solid side as well drilled as QPR were.

Up the Ass!!

Their forum is quite muted on the subject at half time; https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=46435&start=280 Not the performance they need tonight. Will have to be a better second half. We're like an Italian WW2 tank,1 forward gear 4 reverse

Just seen on SSN the Swedish FA have rejected VAR as "The majority of clubs and their fans do not want VAR".

Cardiff, Coventry, PNE & Middlesbrough all lose tomorrow whilst City win would see City 8th with one game to go. We can all dream can't we. After all, a unique and unlikely set of results can occur; just ask Rovers about the 2013-14 season.

Announced yesterday that from the 25/26 season, the Welsh premier League will play all games on Friday nights. Dunno why and have they considered the financial implications? If Barry Town are away to say, Rhyl, that's a five hour journey. Clubs will have to decide whether to travel through the early hours of the Saturday, or have a night in a hotel.

Idle curiosity; IF Solihull make it to the EFL,who will they regard as nearest city rivals; Brum or Villa? Walsall would be their local derby

What voice do fans have these days? Fans are expected to just sit ine neat rows, applaud politely at the end and before leaving spend lots of cash on club merchandise.

I wish that was City you were describing.

In Nat Lge N, I see Glos City are relegated. Which league will they play in next season please? A few years ago Lowestoft made it to Nat Lge S, but when they were relegated a year or two later they were placed in a different one to which they had won promotion from.
