22A

Shopping in town this morning whilst wearing my City shirt, I met two other City fans. How many of us live up here?

In the early 70's (OK, I know, fifty years ago), at Orient''s ground there was a bar serving straight onto the terracing behind one of the goals.

If you are there in the morning, their cooked breakfast is only £4.99!

Belfast Giants ice hockey team have started selling off match worn shirts via a lottery. They've named which two players' shirts will be available after tonight's game. Tickets are £2.00 for one, but on a sliding scale, £20.00 gets you forty tickets. These tickets are only available inside the ground, so the winner can say "I was there" when wearing the shirt. Reckon any football or rugby clubs will adopt this scheme?

OK, City can be watched on Sly 403 via the red button. Later though; same channel at 11.30 - City v Man U from 2017 and at 11.45 Leeds v City from 2018.

Now the dust has settled; https://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?topic=82037.140 Once again, their players were poor and the ref was bad. No one ever says City played well and deserved a draw etc.

Thanks for your advice everyone. I rang today and paid for a ticket and was then sent an email which I present at the turnstile on the day(!). I thought it would be "take it to the ticket office", but no, definitely "the turnstile on the day". I did ask how they knew my email address and was told I have a profile and am known as a member of this forum.

The version I remember from 74 / 75 era.

Leave a few unsold please. Then they'll be returned and those of us who live here can buy one on the day. I've tried to "Create an account" with Bristol Sport and whether I enter my home or mobile phone number, am greeted with "Landline is not valid".

With City away that day, non travelling fans could go to that or cheer on Yate.

3rd qualifying round draw tomorrow.

I posted the other week that the majority of goals City have conceded this season have been due to crosses from the oppo's left, our right.

Our win was simply down to Bentley (so they say). https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/forum/276639/why-do-opposition-keepers-turn-iworld-class-against-us/#8

An away draw in the Cup today;

Here's today's scores; https://www.livescore.bz/en-gb/football/league/84/results/ Longlevens is the latest score. great win for WsM; will they get Bath in the next round?

No, no. He means lead them to promotion next a=season back into the League! It's now mid September; another month and we can all sing "21 today" to remind them when they were last above City.

Coincidence. Most of their fans think City will lose as well; https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/forum/276603/pinners-run-is-at-an-end--brizzle-city-match-thread/#21

Could be;

They could rent that ground to the Rovers then. ?

2nd qualifying round draw; https://www.thefa.com/news/2021/sep/06/20210609-emirates-fa-cup-second-round-qualifying-draw for a PDF file. the-emirates-fa-cup-second-round-qualifying (4).pdf

They are in the same league, Southern prem South. The quote above is from a Dorchester fan.

A mixture of comments on their forum tonight. On page 8 Spooky Tree "Perplexed as to how we lost that. They're crap!" Page 9 Seabird "I thought Brizzle defended well against our 'giants' so that buggered that. Playing alongside Ralls seems to have brought down Pack to the same level, I seem to remember him having a modicum of control. I think McCarthy's love affair with Bacuna is holding us back. With Giles and Colwill in the side I think we would be able to 'create' a little more." Page 10 NYC Blue " Just got back. Good game, very entertaining. Bacuna poor, anonymous 1st half, barely better 2nd half. Giles way off his best and why oh why is our best crosser with his left foot playing on the right? Several times he beat his man and had to cut back inside. Sang had a good game, I can see why people think he could do a job in midfield, the lad's a footballer. Bagan had his best game for us as well in my opinion. Colwill's got something about him, look forward to see how he develops. It's going to be this kind of season I think, we'll win some and lose some. Won't go down and won't go up. If it's that but with the youngsters getting some game time and developing, I personally don't mind, especially if they're enjoyable games of football like today I don't think you would have found it that enjoyable if you watched it on TV. I found it very frustrating. If you look at the match stats, we had 63% possession, 407 v 256 passes with 72% pass accuracy and we did approximately ****-all. Very disappointing".

OK, now the dust has settled. Would you prefer, City to have narrowly lost today, but beat Swansea last week to be unbeaten at home? Duuno 'bout you, but I actually enjoy winning at Cardiff, so I'll stick with the results that ctually happened.

That's a real double celebration for Swansea then. Last week they won at AG, then this week we go and win at Swansea's hated Cardiff.
