The only time I watch women’s football is when the England ladies are on TV.

I have never ever watched a women’s match ‘live’. However due the exposure our ladies get on the OS and local bulletins their results are kinda forced onto me.

I honestly couldn’t name one player from the women’s team.

So....on reflection, do you think maybe this is perhaps not the best thread for you to be sharing your wisdom and insight with us? 

Get in Gooners!

Go to the Moving Seats Q&A and there is a link there.

Wouldn't accept either my debit or credit card when I tried to move two seats (£2.50 charge)

Thanks but that link just takes me to a page summary of my tickets and history, no options to move seats 

So it's gone 10 and I want to move seats, but can't see anything on the website enabling me to to do so. 

A I missing something, can anyone share the link please?

Surely she's pissed 3/4 of her voters off with this monstrosity? 

Oh dear Thangham, what were you thinking?!

My MP for the past nine years and really popular locally. I certainly voted for her. 

Bad show by her party research staff though, have they not realised that ~98% of her constituents, even those of us who live in spitting distance of the Tinpottery, are anything but supporters of that shower? More City than gas in this neighbourhood. 

Such trivia wouldn't sway my vote in a general election, but what a lack of judgement from a senior politician.

Anyway, as it happens, due to the boundary changes I believe Thangham has been moved to contest the new Bristol Central constituency at the next election, where there's a good chance she will lose out to the Green candidate. Unless the huge Sag vote can save her

Dear Bristol City Fans,

We are 4 Belgians (in our late thirties) visiting your lovely city the last weekend of april.

As we are massive football fans, we bought tickets for the Rotherham United Game (Dolman Stand seats). 

As our passion for beer even exceeds our passion for football, we're looking for a Bristol City legend(s) to show us the Bristol City FC pub life before, during and (god willing) after the game.

Beers, snacks and tales of heroic football games are on us + an invite to do the same in Bruges for the next Club Bruges game.

Please let us know by replying on this post, or contacting me on whatsapp +32498760835.

Thanks for considering our request.

Bart, Bruno, Thomas & Frederic

 

Hey Bart, Bruno, Thomas & Frederic

Hope you have a great day out at our beloved football club and in our brilliant city. Many of us in Bristol are keen on the idea of frictionless trade and travel with our European neighbours. Perhaps we could get together with Belgium and a few others and form a kind of 'European union' or a 'common market', if you will, and we'd all be better off wouldn't we?

What you reckon babs? 

A brilliant away day. I didn't know Preston fans sang 'Flint Said No' to Swindon. Bless them!

I saw those 2 young girls  in handcuffs  behind their  backs after the  game

What had they done? We were over on the right and couldn't really see what was going on. The way the police and stewards were mobbing up you'd have thought there was a riot, but it really was all quite mild.

It's not our responsibility to provide an entertaining game for opposition fans at their ground.

A solid City performance is important but I'll take an away win however we get it, as no doubt will travelling City fans.

Home games are different and with Blackburn, Huddersfield and Rotherham coming up we should be looking to win all 3, win them well, and finish the season at AG in style. My expectation as a fan is that Manning will really go for it in these 3 games with an attacking outlook, hopefully leading not only to entertaining games but plenty of City goals.

Yep, I would go along with that. 

I'll be at the game this afternoon, and as much as we all hope for an end-to-end thriller packed with incident and goals every time, I would be just as delighted to sneak a 1-0 with a fortunate deflection off Nahki's knackers from a yard out in the 96th minute

I named my first budgie Joey after Joe90!

I think my son Joe (Joseph) wasn’t my choice, but when Mrs Fevs suggested it, this was who came into mind.

I suggested the name Joseph for my first child, accidentally forgetting to explain to the then wife that it was inspired by the names two of my biggest heroes. Anyway, she went for it, and we celebrate Joe's 33rd birthday in a couple of weeks!

I was at this game, I believe it was Good Friday 1985, my first visit to Home Park.

We lost 1-0 I think, and my memories include their mob trying to get out through the locked gates before the game to have a go at us in their car park, and also having lumps of concrete thrown at us during the game. Welcome to the mild south west.

I trust those going tomorrow enjoy more pleasant day out all round

Take your point. So we're agreed it ain't happening, but even if it did, there is little chance of getting a credible replacement.

On what evidence do you believe that might happen? Serious question!

Paraphrasing , but.

We set the structure , then we send them out and tell them to be brave and front foot.

If you are so concentrated on structure, how can you be brave and front foot because then you aren't playing to the structure . 

Being brave to me implies playing off the cuff, being individual . Which again isn't playing to a structure. 
That recent structure has had us sitting in , playing some of the most boring football I've seen. Players playing within themselves looking worried to take chances. 
I don't see him taking the shackles off tomorrow. Best we can hope for is a bore draw. 

Precisely. It is difficult to imagine a less 'brave' brand of football than what we've been treated to recently. 

I've just rediscovered my sprightly young 'theme tune' during a YouTube jaunt, which reminded me of when I first got the the internet, well over 25 years ago. 

The first web search I ever made (on Netscape Navigator IIRC) was 'Bristol City'. I discovered some weird and wonderful places, like CybeReds, the Bristol City Net Centre, and a very primitive version OTIB. My second search was The Clash, where I found some equally oddball sites, including one called Clash City Rockers. 

What all these static, read-only Web 1.0 pages had in common were rudimentary message boards where visitors could comment and discuss their subject, but you couldn't sign up and register a user name. But people did come up with clever pseudonyms, which they would type in afresh, each time they posted a message.

And so my first internet nickname was born from my first two searches on the 'information superhighway'. Of course, we've all moved on now. 

I only just spotted this, but it's streaming live on youtube this evening from 7. Tickets £16.50. One of my favourite ever radio shows, from the halcyon days before Radio 1 was shut down

They said it would never happen. Some said it should never happen… Yet here we are.

24th March 2004 saw the world heritage radio site of the Mark and Lard show come to an end with a resounding ‘STOP…’!

Now, a full 20 years later, we can finally say an equally resounding ‘…CARRY ON’!

Like the day Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon (if you were born then – if not, skip this bit), or when Alan Bradley got run over by a Blackpool tram on Coronation Street (ditto), everybody can remember where they were on that fateful day in Radio 1 history. Listening to the radio. Obviously.

Now, following high level negotiations after a chance meeting between Fat Harry White and Scoff Cruddle at a Bedford Rascal Enthusiasts rally, Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley have been coaxed back into the world of light entertainment.

You are invited to join them for ‘Carry On: An Evening with Mark and Lard‘. This will be the first time the same-sex Krankies of the airwaves will reveal what went on behind the scenes of what Dave Bowie (of the Dave Bowie Band) called: THE show’!

The ordeal will begin at 1900 hours, assuming everyone gets their act together. Long time close showbiz friend of the pair, though she tends to play this down these days, Katie Puckrik will host an hour-long conversation with the former wireless heart-throbs, which will be followed by a short intermission. After re-centring themselves over a crystal, Mark and Lard will then submit to a no-holds barred probing, taking questions from both the theatre and interweb audiences. See you all soon!

I’ve been a season ticket holder for 24 years. Supported the club since age of 5 . First season was 76/77 (glory hunter) 

I’ve done the blindly following no matter what , especially under the LJ years. It’s an age thing definitely as my favourite era was under TC . However im bored with it all under the lansdowns now . I’ve missed more games this season than ever before & look for reasons not to go now . 
So , my question is .
Are you going today because it’s what you do. 

same as me , bored with it 

still as enthusiastic as ever .

Theres no right or wrong , it’s how you feel . I’ll go to the Leicester game because a few of us are out after the game . Apart from that I’m done this season . 
 

I really do hope we win today to take pressure off 

Wow, my City history is identical to yours mate; started going in 76/77, season ticket since about 2000, and yes, I too have missed more games this season than for a very long time. 

It's not just City though, football is nothing like the game I loved as a youngster, on or off the pitch. Many would argue it's much better in all ways now than in the 70s, and they're probably right too. It just doesn't excite me like it did then.

That said, I am going today, and my biggest hope is that I won't be coming away with that crushing disappointment that the last few games have brought
