22A

PNE, like City lost one more game than they won. They also ended up with negative goal difference. I've never understood this belief. My first City game in Feb 69 was a 2-1 win for City. The following season City only won one away game and that was at Preston. December 72 at Deepdale, 1-0 down after 12 seconds, 2-0 after 12 mins, City pulled those 2 goals back, but conceded a third before HT. Final score 3-3.

Going out now on TNT Sports; Brackley v Boston in the Nat League North final. An open game so far between two attack minded teams. Looks a more entertaining game than that at the 365 this afternoon.

Barnsley have near neighbours in Rotherham, Huddersfield and Sheffield. Whoever gets relegated with Rotherham will have reduced travelling next season. With Sheff U relegated out of the Prem and Leeds possibly blowing their promotion run, not too much to cheer about in South and West Yorks.

Shades of Danny Wilson at City? Because they lost in their Play Off game against local rivals Sunny, Boston have sacked their manager.

If Rovers need a new home; may I suggest Dunlewey Celtic? They are located in Donegal, but thier ground could cope with an influx or thousands quite easily.

Stoke's Manager appears to have the same problems and ambitions as we do for our club. https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/313013/bristol-city-team-selection?page=5 Snippets from the final Stoke pre match press conference today. Ennis has sustained a knee problem and is unavailable as is Haks who has a groin problem. Gooch has trained this week and Leris is OK following his illness. When questioned on the task he faced on coming to Stoke he intimated that some of the internal matters were a challenge. He also stated that contract talks will take place with players like Ty and Jordan Thompson. Thompson does have an extension clause that is in Stoke's favour The plan for next season is to push on, get away from the foot of the table and be in the top half. For all the difficulties, he has enjoyed the experience and it will help him in the future

Careful! It reads like you're building up to a "Thousands locked out" statement!

According to Peter Godsiff's book; in the late 1920s it was christened Bourton v- Keating stand. Blackburn snapped up City's forwards Bourton & Keating for a combined deal of £3,650. With some of the money City erected a corrugated iron covering over the Winterstoke Road end.

Haven't seen any other post on this. It was announced yesterday the proposal for Prem clubs to only be allowed to spend on their squad 4.5 x the money of the lowest placed club. Currently that club received 100 million, so they would all be limited to a spending cap of £450 million. 16 clubs voted for it, Chelsea abstained. Villa and the Manchester two voted against claiming they have more money available to spend than that. This proposal would see them with earnings they can't spend. Oh dear; how sad. Could those three clubs lower their match day prices which in turn would lower their earnings to that £450 million level.

Sorry I'm four days late; it should have been posted on 26th April;

Tonight Preston host Leicester and tomorrow Coventry host Ipswich. Hopefully the two away teams will win as that means City could finish in 9th position on Saturday.

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.
