  1. It would have put us on sound footing I think. But Ashton Gate is our spiritual home, even if it unrecognisable from the 1960s, and, apart from the Dolman, the 1980s. Pity about the Atyeo. The only other real issue I found is the choke point on the corner of the South Stand and Dolman. (It wasn't the best place to put a bar.) COYR
  2. Can we just all agree on a 'well done Max', and get the mods to lock the thread. Onwards!
  3. Did you just hear Gary Owers in response to Ian? 'Oh God'
  4. Very good. I think I managed a CSE Grade 2. 'Es ist schon' is about as much as I can manage on my own. My original was something like 'My uncle is German, and he says Borussia Dortmund are keeping tabs on him.' So translating to 'eye' makes sense.
  5. Mein Onkel ist Deutscher und sagt, Borussia Dortmund behalte ihn im Auge. I just made that up, obvs, but I bet they are . (PS blame google for the poor German. I'd hate to think what it nows says translated back
  6. As long as you would if you could you're as much a supporter as the rest of us. That covers everyone I hope, from the distance impaired, to the family committed, to the financially bereft, to the Saturday/nightime worker, etc. You know who you are, and it's one of us. It's the can't be arsed people who live around the corner from the ground who would rather steal an internet stream and bitch and moan about the size of the crowd at halftime in the matchday forum, whilst burning a wad of tenner to keep warm, that grind my gears. Hopefully that's a small proportion.
  7. At least you can be sure it won't be worse. Er ...
  8. They are, or at least were last time I looked (possibly last season) - it was in their terms & conditions that you can lend your season card to someone who would be in the same or lower price category. My brother had Covid on the weekend so I took the old dear down on his ticket for her second game of the season. So this is an erosion of benefits as for as I can see. And quite honestly I think its a sharp practice.
  9. Let's face it, if you or I were a robin that looked like that, we'd be straight down the doctors.
  10. I think the first game that was up for was the mauling we got at home to Wolves. Live on Sky and 3 little pigs v the wolf at half time https://www.sportbible.com/football/football-20-years-ago-wolves-mascot-got-into-a-crap-with-three-little-pigs-20181107 And the reason I remember it was because that was when you could legit phone up radio Bristol after the game and get on the phone in. I remember that the presenter (not Geoff) asked me about the scoreboard at the end of my call and I remember saying it was too small - he's only got himself to blame, he should've cut me off during my earlier rant.
  11. I'm hoping they haven't caught him to late in his career for him to be able to change that habit. Your comment got me thinking about Jacki - I think he used to go looking for defenders to beat and then see how many times he could do it before he got bored.
  12. I could watch that back all night. Sitting in the Dolman, I only appreciated the brilliance of that goal when they played it back on the big screen. Bloodly amazing. I was, however, celebrating the goal before the ball had done little more than left Andi's foot. Sometimes you just know.
  13. These are the same people booing our youngsters v Lincoln. Rather pathetic, but what can you do? Ban them bbc style
  14. I'd take dropping a place for a Cardiff loss any day of the week.
  15. I thought it was more like 14-15k certainly lots of stay aways in middle of dolman.
  16. I think he lost it a bit when his Southampton move fell through due to him failing fitness test.
  17. You raised your game a bit in a couple of post afterwards, so you're safe for now
  18. Now you're verging close to demerit territory.
  19. They probably found a royalty free typeface. Like the crappy free fonts you used to get on a typical Linux install.
  20. I don't really want to encourage you (not that you need it :), but that's pretty good. 2 merit marks.
