Don’t think it is 100% true but something like that. We’ll still look at players in every position if we can do something and it would be affordable to our structure if we wasn’t be sold. 
 

Basically, we still probably need a CB, we might want another GK depending how they feel about WR and Bajic. And we may look at a midfielder if he goes. We won’t rush into any of these it seems and doubt we’d spend a big fee on anyone. We also have the wage structure. So just because we have money from a Scott sale won’t mean we go daft with spending. 
 

Why in my opinion I think keep him. The 25m won’t actually mean too much for us imo. If he stayed another season and not promoted the 10-15m we would get next summer would still be a big boost to how city is run now. 
 

FWIW, not sure we need another player to replace him. We have players here that are fine and need minutes. 
 

It was just one game but being at Portsmouth we looked more an attacking threat with Weimann behind the striker. I think Scott is more of a deeper player that picks it up and drives from deep. I think his talent can swing games so worth keeping him but still think we’d be a good side without him. From the little I have seen of Benarous pre injury, I’d be excited to see him play the role of more advanced midfielder 

You say that we probably still need a centre back, but do we?

We have Dickie, Vyner, Atkinson (hopefully coming back at Christmas) plus Roberts, McCrorie and Naismith who have all played there in the past. I think we have enough cover there.

Wonder if City have allowed Wolves scouts to attend.

Pitch looking great by the way. Wish we didn't have to have Rugby lines on it. Still, I'm sure they say the same about the football lines. 

Steve build another stadium

Thoroughly enjoyable few hours, well organised. Very interesting to see the changing and treatment  rooms, and the warm up area. Whole tour was very well carried out by Jerry Tocknell who was both funny and explanatory. Fascinating talk by Alan Walsh to  round things off. How things have changed since he became a pro. footballer.

Robins TV only I believe

Thank you.

Can supporters attend this game? Do we have to buy tickets? Official site showing fixture, but no details.

Thanks.

Twitter is unreliable as a ‘source’ with loads of wild speculation and complete bollocks. There’s only one 100% reliable way of guaranteeing that a player has signed for City - does anyone know what that is?………..

To hear it over the Tannoy? 

Really pleased about this. He could turn out to be the pick of the new signings. Young, experienced and willing to learn. Happy days!

Sounds like it was done last week, with the announcement on Wednesday.

Thanks. Hope so.

Being announced on Wednesday so I’ve been told

Does that mean he's signed or signing on Wednesday as well?

It’s the hope that kills you. We may have been barking up the wrong tree but leave the 3 out, the wound is still fresh. 

Where is the 3?

has anyone been down the ground to see if there's anything occurring?

 

Went down about 2pm and I overheard people talking about Pitch Revamp. Another player perhaps, Dutch?

Exciting times.

Ah, so we know you're male.

I wanted to be pedantic and say it was Marsh Road but am not exactly sure where one ends and other starts. It's on the corner I think.. as the little dead end/cul de sac is Ashton Road? 

Bower Ashton Terrace.

I have better faith in our recruitment than I have done previously. If Tinnion and the team think he can do a job then that’s good enough for me. Regardless of where he comes from.

It’s the lines on the pitch that irritate me, except them to be prominent today. Just looks wrong 

Couldn't agree more.

The lionesses were in a coffee shop in Clevedon this morning. I hope to god they weren’t staying at the Walton Bay

Perhaps they were staying at the coffee shop. Times are hard at the moment

Let's hope someone finds a good link today. Could be very interesting with Kalas and the two newbies in the mix.

Think you’ll find frost makes the pitch hard, so more likely to cause a postponement than a quagmire.

As for the Bears, if Mr Lansdown finds £50m+ down his sofa that he wants to blow for no foreseeable financial gain, then you may get your wish! 

Think you'll find that frost melts. All basic stuff really.

Ahh, I just remembered, you aren’t actually a clueless muppet, your our resident occasional pop-up wum, aren’t you

Damn, sussed.

With the Bears playing on Friday and a widespread frost forecast, the pitch might not be very good on Saturday. 

Plus, I hate those rugby lines showing on the pitch, it makes it look like a 1st or 2nd division stadium. Wish SL would build a separate stadium for the rugby and just use Ashton Gate for the important stuff.
