I'd take a point to be honest

Same here

Brilliant, well done lads.

Well done City, another good weekend.

Crawley must be sick of Luke Ayling.

Just got home from taking the kids to watch 'Big Hero 6'....how much are we whooping ass by then?

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?

I'm really not sure how a bet against your own team is such a crime- I don't gamble but if I did and there were good odds then why not? .

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.

Saving grace....Swindle lost.

So...bottom last Christmas, top this Christmas.

and all that peacock strutting nonsense .

Yeah I read the interview too.

PMSL

Child.

off now for the 11:01 from PW ! Hope they're not waiting at Stoke Gifford !

I'm getting off at Pwy. It's just left Bridgend on time.

******* brilliant!

Sadly I think Oldham will end our unbeaten start to the season. 2-1 Latics, hope I'm wrong.

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!

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.

As opposed to being on 31 points on Valentines day last season....

Had we even won a match this time last year? I'm sure Carlisle was the end of Oct.

This is great!

Great time to be a City fan. What a difference a year makes.

******* brilliant! Well done City and well done to the 3800 who went....superb.

My point is that an apology has to sound genuine to be meaningful. That one doesn't, to me. It's a long justification of the decision, with a coupe of muttered 'sorry's'. Headlining it "an apology to fans" would have helped.

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.

a meaningless game in my opinion would be against a team that have nothing to play for when we are safe.

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

I know it would never happen but it would be great to get a 100% boycott of a meaningless game to make BCFC see the depth of feeling when you mess the fans around.

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?

6/ Notts County supporters, they've been screwed right over here. Were they considered?

Secondly, why hasn't the club apologised to NCFC fans who are travelling and, more importantly, City fans who are put out by this?

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.

On the FootyMad Notts County forum a lot of them can't make it now either. Plus a load of money has been spent on Hotels and travel that will be wasted

Who at the club decides this? They need to see the shit they have caused!!!

The Notts County fans can blame Notts County Football Club, they were fully involved in the decision.

Sorry meant to add reply ... ive always come on here tried to be respectful and honest... with regards the sale of the ground to amtrak.. your right we will never know ... the fact of matter is the rugby club chose to sell the memorial ground for profit (the ground should never been allowed to be sold at all) the rovers deal the training pitch and land by the centenary stand all of ot was for profit and the time for objections should have been then and carried on ... its sad indeed that amother sports ground is going and one with such strong emotional attachments but at least the gates and a new memorial garden will remain as a reminder and all 3 Bristol sports clubs will soon be playing on stadia fit for purpose ... finally the memorial garden and indeed this whole scheme has the backing of the ex bristol players society and the british legion .. they are about the most important people alive today that are due a real say in all this and if its good enough for them then im ok with it all ....

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.

the rugby chairman at  the time tried to sell the whole lot to Amtrak and then sold half the 'memorial ground land' for housing ... nobody kicked up a fuss then funnily enough!!

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.
