22A

At the time it was suggested that City were after Ivan Toney so Sammie was allowed to go to P'boro' as a sweetener for a future deal. Trouble is Posh wanted £8 million, but City would only offer six, so Ivan T went off to Brentford.

I've looked at Cardiff's forum. They are all looking forward to the return from injury of ...... Callum O'Dowda, even if only a sub. One quote is;

Scottish Div 2 Peterhead v Elgin.

Agreed; we are just not good enough.

Four minutes in and it's not working for me today.

All joking aside, they would insist on equal number of tickets for both clubs. That could backfire on them as they might well have unsold tickets whilst many City supporters would be unable to get a ticket as all sold out.

When City signed JET, my relatives in Ipswich said "Some days he's a match winner; other times he just does't want to know." Kiddy are five points from safety, but do have one game in hand. They are that league's lowest scorers, so presumably JET is there to redress the balance. 17 Maidenhead United 35 9 12 14 35 46 -11 39 18 Southend United (-10) 32 14 6 12 46 34 +12 38 19 Wealdstone 30 10 8 12 42 45 -3 38 20 Ebbsfleet United 35 10 8 17 44 58 -14 38 21 Dorking Wanderers 33 11 5 17 38 53 -15 38 22 Woking 34 9 7 18 33 43 -10 34 23 Kidderminster Harriers 34 8 9 17 29 43 -14 33 24 Oxford City 35 7 7 21 47 73 -26 28

No parachute payment and those players would have gone to be replaced by Championship standard players.

Torquay used to play their games on Saturday nights. The reason being people arrive on holiday o a Saturday and might be looking for entertainment and attend the match. That increased he gate receipts. I went a couple of times; there were special busses laid on from Brixham as well as Paignton. Ironically the first game I saw at Plainmoor, they were home to.....Rochdale.

They are hoping for a sell out at Hillsborough; https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/328701-lets-get-bristol-city-sold-out/ Don't think Bristol have sold too many, they were allocated 1000 and hadn't sold them last night, Over 1000 now, so probably 1200 tops and then a comment heard at sooo many clubs; in absolutely gagging to go and watch my Wednesday but I refuse to go while they’re run like they are.

OK folks; addressing negativity on here. Take the last three results and for some it's the end of the world losing at home to QPR. If City had lost 2-1 at Middlesbrough, beaten Saints 3-1 and then won 1-0 v QPR, people would be declaring "We're on the right track. LM has got the club going in the right direction" etc.

Oops; found out now the semi finals are one off events, no longer H&A.

And for real non League;

A Blackpool fan standing behind a goal lobbed a brick towards us. Blackjack (remember him?) "returned the goods to their rightful owner" and got three months.

A November game in the 72-73 season; I was at Blackpool too that day. Because the Hayes floodlights weren't quite good enough, that game had a 2.30 kickoff, so finished before ours. It confused the Blackpool fans when we started cheering with 30 mins of our game to go.

OK, I know this doesn't affect us, but since it's inception forty years ago, this competition had been split into North and South sections. The top two teams in each section would pay H&A for the right to meet the winner of the other section in the final; (Remember Gillingham H&A in 2015?) This year though instead of a regional final, it's a straight semifinal. Bradford play Wycombe and P'boro' play Blackpool. The two finalists therefore could be two teams from the same geographic area. Any specific reason for the change this season?

Before my time, but Harry Thickett should be in with a shout of the title City's best Manager. Got us out of Div 2 P38 W30 D6 L2 F83 A28. The following season, runners up in Div 1. P38 W20 D 8 L10 F66 A47

The QPR forumonThursday; https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/forum/306416/robin-reliant--del-boy-batman-or-dickie--the-bristol-vs-qpr-match-thread/#289 But we've got this. 1 nil us. Marti will be giving them a right bolloxing today and tomorrow and thus, they will want to at least do something to make it up to him.

On the other hand, Saints went and won at WBA last night.

This link died for me immediately after that goal and won't come back up.

And so it came to pass.

It appears to me the team are in a 4-4-2 formation today. If so; is this due to the oppos, or is LM trying something new?

I remember when the League of Wales was formed. Many fans rang 606 complaining the Secretary (Alan Williams?) of the LoW was demanding the four Welsh clubs left the EFL to join the LoW. When Newport were relegated he demanded they join it rather than the English Conference. When the turned down the "offer" he refused to let them play in Wales and their first home games were played at Gloucester.
