22A

I gave up on Sports 10 when the picture froze in the 2nsd half. Found Fawanews reliable. http://www.fawanews.com/Fleetwood vs Bristol Rovers.html for that. http://www.fawanews.com/Birmingham vs Middlesbrough --- CH 2.htmlfor the Championship game. All other matches are available.

Bristol was a top speedway team in the 70ss; Phil Crump, Tormod Langli, Neil Boocock etc. Then they had to close; officially due to noise complaints by people living next to the M32. Swindon face housing going up on their track just as happened at Oxford & Reading.

City travel to The Hawthorns on Saturday 16th March. For those of us old enough; who will ever forget 17th March 1976? Not the highest scoring win of the season, but the most important.

I'll be gone as well, but not in a box. I have requested my ashes be strewn on the Ashton Gate pitch. In an ideal world, the urn would be thrown at the Ref / oppo Manager / dirty fouling player of the Undertaker's choice.

1963(?) Rovers were at home playing in Div 2. City were at home playing in Div 3. The All Blacks were playing Western Counties at the Memorial Ground. All games had a 3.00pm ko. The busses and Police both managed to cope. For the record, City had the highest attendance that day. More recently there's been instances of City, Rovers, Bristol and Bath rugby teams all being away on a Saturday. These were for League, not Cup fixtures.

With the boot on the other foot; Stan Matthews won fame for his club & country down the right wing. When Blackpool met City a cup game he struggled though. He was marked by Mike Thresher.

In the Highland League Brechin City might be on their way back. Top of the table, 3 pts clear and 2 games in hand. There used to be a Brechin supporter who occasionally posted on here. Both clubs are BCFC and both have red & white as their colours was his reasoning.

Last week Leicester fans were congratulating themselves, they are now safe from relegation.

A generation before that; Alan Skirton to John Galley and befire that Bobby Williams to John Atyeo. Hmm three instances of reasonably successful City teams. I can see now what the OP was alluding to.

https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/forum/307118/bristol-city-v-swansea-city-match-day-thread-**updated/#17 Bristol fans and their team will be up for this, of that you can be sure. We'll do well to get a point out of this game. Going to be a tough game, would love a win to set us up for next Saturday but I think a draw will probably be the outcome. Is the away allocation sold out?

Ten Haag this morning moaned about MUFC's injuries; If we didn't have so many players injured, we'd have won 14 more games this season.

I've seen this book advertised. Any of you read it and is worth having please?

Well played team.

Selection headache for the Swansea game?

My first away game Dec 69 - lost to a last minute goal at Ninian Park. August 70 beating Wolves in a pre season friendly, only for Dougan to equalise just as the Ref was about to end the game. In home games in the 2007 / 08 season. In the 92nd minute City took the lead against Leicester, but only got a draw. A few weeks later, against Sheff U, City equalised in the 94th minute and still lost. More recently there was that 3-3 draw home to Sunderland and now Tuesday night at Ipswich. I'm sure many others on here know of many more instances over the last 50 years.

I'll be watching Man C v Copenhagen, but not for the football. In September Copenhagen were playing in the Euro qualifying rounds and were away in East Europe. To prove they are hard, some Copen fans on the terraces removed their shirts. Some of the young Danish ladies there followed suit. Please BT Sport, show us plenty of crowd shots as the football will probably be boring all one way stuff.

Preparing to have the roof cave in; Neil Warnock (yes, Colin) hasn't done too well at Aberdeen and might consider coming here short term, just as he kept Rotherham up last season. Having said this, I wouldn't want him full time though.

Who would take the job?

Looking back what followed was typical City. Hull went up, came back after 2 seasons only to go up again. That same year 2013, Palace & Watford met in the Play off Final whilst City were relegated.

WsM beat Chippenham 1-0 last night. In mid table now it's Taunton - Chippenham - WsM.

OK, City lost again, but an improved team performance away to a team who are unbeaten at home this season. Tommy's goal; so reminiscent of Highbury in 76. Tom Richie chased a seemingly lost ball, but got it though and put it across for Cheesley to score. Tonight Mark Sykes chased a seemingly lost ball, but got it though and put it across for Tommy Conway to score.

Agreed. 33 mins and I thought Ipswich were about to score, but no and then minutes later we came close. Both keepers are having the ball played back to them more than I thought they would. Considering the discussion earlier today; LM appears to have the formation and tactics right.

OK folks; http://www.fawanews.com/Ipswich Town vs Bristol City.html is working for those unable to be there or watch Sky.

FWIW; A televised 4-2 home defeat got rid of Fred Ford.
