  1. Just got home from taking the kids to watch 'Big Hero 6'....how much are we whooping ass by then?
  2. Someone on their forum asks, "when was the last time a team has beaten us at home 3 times in a season?". Anybody on here been to all three games at Priestfield this season?
  3. It's not a crime, I fail to understand why people get so righteous about it. When gambling you need to separate the 'what you WANT to happen' from the 'what you THINK will happen'. I often include Rovers to win in my accumulators, doesn't mean I actually WANT them to win....just that I THINK they will.
  4. Sadly I think Oldham will end our unbeaten start to the season. 2-1 Latics, hope I'm wrong.
  5. 15 games still unbeaten, I think we beat Carlisle on this weekend last year for our first win of the season. I don't know how we played today although the BBC match stats suggest Barnsley had the better of the play so to still be unbeaten is fantastic. Keep it going boys!
  6. I was a bit gutted with a draw against Bradford tonight even though it increased our lead at the top but then I remembered that around this time last year we lost at home to Brentford and we had O'Driscoll bouncing around like a pilled up weirdo behind the scenes. It reminds me how ******* brilliant this season has been so far. Well done to all involved, long may it continue. Very proud of this club and its supporters.
  7. Had we even won a match this time last year? I'm sure Carlisle was the end of Oct. This is great!
  8. ******* brilliant! Well done City and well done to the 3800 who went....superb.
  9. Be honest mate, even if that was the headline most on here, probably you included, would still be outraged. As I've previously said, I can't go now but in the grand scheme of things I understand why BCFC and NCFC took the decision, even if it was late. As long as we ******* stay up I won't allow myself to be too damaged by all this.
  10. IMO it has felt like we've been in a relegation dogfight since last September. The sort of game you describe is exactly the sort of game I've actually been looking forward to
  11. We could be 1 point above the relegation zone going into this match...hardly meaningless. Why don't we campaign for a points deduction as well? Edit: re reading your quote I appreciate now that you may not be referring to the NC match as a 'meaningless fixture'. Apologies, however....what would be a meaningless fixture?
  12. I'm not overly happy about this switch as I've now missed the chance to get Friday off work, I've missed enough games through work commitments this season as it is, however, people saying the Notts County fans have been screwed over and why haven't they had an apology? ask Notts County Football Club who agreed to the change of date.I can understand City fans wanting answers from the City board for themselves but Notts County FC are just as guilty.
  13. The Notts County fans can blame Notts County Football Club, they were fully involved in the decision.
  14. In fairness to you, you've always voiced a pro AV opinion on here and elsewhere. I'm not anti UWE Stadium, I certainly don't begrudge Rovers getting a new ground....as long as City also progress off the pitch then I'm happy. As I said Rovers went through the correct channels, the law is on their side along with the Royal British Legion so for that I say fair play, I don't see it as desecration of a War Memorial because the Memorial will remain with the blessing of organisations that really matter ie RBL. IMO in an ideal world, the site wouldve remained as a sports venue of some description (even as something like a velodrome) but unfortunately the only people prepared to stump up the cash for the Mem were Sainsburys. You could argue that Lansdown himself could've bought the Mem although in reality, from his own business perspective, that's massively unrealistic as it makes more sense for the Rugby and the Football to be under one roof. I'm not naive enough to think that Rovers should be held back in their ambitions until someone comes along with a huge amount of cash to fund a sports venue. Difficult to see what else Rovers could've done under the circumstances. What some Gasheads need to understand is that not everyone who voices concerns about selling a War Memorial are 'anti Rovers' or jealous of Rovers getting a new ground. On the subject of the new ground, whilst I'm not overly impressed with the appearance (I'm obviously biased and I don't expect my opinion to shared by most neutral football fans), I can understand why Rovers want it so badly. I've noticed on Facebook a fair few Gasheads making grand predictions about how the balance of power in Bristol football is changing...City will be left behind etc etc. the thing is, talk is cheap and the pressure is on you, especially as it appears that we will also have a much improved ground plus revenue from the Rugby. You get a new ground, we get our home of 100+ years brought into the 21st Century. No envy here because I genuinely wouldn't swap AG for a carbon copy UWE Stadium, no matter how much some of your fellow fans would love to believe otherwise. Older Gasheads would no doubt feel the same attachment to Eastville. Let the games begin.
  15. No one kicked up a fuss because the purpose of the venue remained the same (sporting activity), also the ground was never sold to Amtrak and thus was never developed into something else by that company so you have no idea how people would've reacted at the time. I've put these points to you in the past when you used the same argument but you didn't respond, obviously you're a busy man. Ultimately Rovers and Sainsburys have gone through the courts and have broken no laws in regards to selling the Mem so what's now done is done. If there ever was a legal document stating that the ground could only be used for sporting activities then the Rugby Club are possibly most guilty if it has been lost. I will always think a sports venue is the best Memorial for sportsmen however the Royal British Legion have given the Memorial Garden their blessing so that's a pretty big thumbs up in anything to do with these matters. We're all entitled to our own opinions obviously. Rovers will have their new ground, our spiritual home is going to be redeveloped into an impressive sporting venue. I imagine that for the first time in a long time most football fans in Bristol are excited about the future for our clubs. No offence but I think ours looks much better, you will disagree...that's the nature of football fans.
  16. I thought they have to appeal to the same judge, isn't that a massive waste of time?
