Saw the same Tweet. Oddly specific number, what on Earth is the last 15% of a transfer 

A three course dinner at the Avon Gorge Hotel, signing on the dotted line, chucked up on the “roof” for some awkward acting and then finally a scouting report sent to Bournemouth.

Correct however, if Max felt that he made a mistake signing for City now that Derby have been promoted (bearing in mind they could probably pay more) and he started being difficult ( Im not saying he will) then things can change if the club/Manning decided its not worth the hassle.

 

No.

And back playing with his academy mate.

Also, and this isn't directed at you, he's our player right? We signed him, and loaned him back. There's nothing to "cancel". 

 Yes he’s a Bristol City player that was signed for over £1m who has been loaned to Derby. He can’t just cancel his contract with City.

Think the next few weeks training with first team will be telling, almost like a trial to see if LM thinks he ready for it. 

JS has been training with the first team (when Aldershot haven’t had a mid-week game) since he signed.

They’ve been impressed with him from what I’ve heard. 

Shocked and disappointed that no one has mentioned the legend that is Gustav Engvall.

A man who turned up with more in his entourage than he made 1st team appearances.

You clearly missed the posts where I said I moved to the Lansdown during the season. 

Thought you would have known this as you consistently troll me. 

Stop twisting my words. I didn't say I couldn't afford it. I said I wouldn't pay 700 quid. 

Is moving season ticket seats mid-season even possible? I was under the impression you could upgrade your seats but this was restricted to twice a season only.

The only limit is the same that's a set number have to be made available 

Gavin Marshall confirmed club are pushing for more season ticket sales than ever before 

People are misunderstanding what he said about if we kept increasing sales, in the future we may have to limit the sales 

Isn’t there an EFL rule that says a certain % of stadium capacity needs to be held back for POTD?

So they are moving the Bears children down to SS to be closer to the action. Great but then City are trying to move our children from SS up to Family area, as far away from the action as possible, unbelievable.

A mate who goes to the rugby seems to think it’s more to do with trying to sale more premium seats to adults.

Yes.

People were trying to make excuses to downplay a 5-0 win last week, so doing it after a draw isn't surprise.

Meaningless games apparently!

Fits with what pretty much every other team has said about them.

 

Their manager left after they lost to farm, but think that was due to personal reasons.

They haven't uploaded anything to their youtube since then either.

In a word, no.

About 100-130ish.

There’s better supported Suburban League sides

Inherently were just biff-bang football today. 9 huge blokes trying to smack the ball up field as soon as possible but a bit shirty when they didn’t get their own way. Horrible team, not in kicking people but just in you couldn’t watch that on a regular basis.

Do they get many watching them on a regular basis?

I don't see Stokes to be near the first team for a few months. You can't expect him to make the leap from Non League to Championship straight away. SS commented on how he struggled when he joined City from Colchester. 

For every Sammy Szmodics there’s an Albert Adomah.

Will be interesting to see how JS gets on in pre season but have heard the club have been impressed with how he’s been performing in training since signing.

Why?

Because we want to finish as a high as we possibly can?

I believe our game at Forest in early February will go down as the last ever FA cup replay. Aston Villa played Chelsea in a 4th round replay the same evening, but Chelsea won that in 90 minutes whereas our game went to extra time and penalties. 

“Last FA Cup replay, you’ll never sing that”

Of course but how do you segregate the fans from the concourse? 

The same as when the Atyeo has been split between home/away supporters previously.

Me too , I was there and begging for it to happen …..

To be fair, I had a bit of respect for LJ for sending up the keeper for a corner in added on time in what was a nothing game for us.

Let's hope his input with Stokes proves to be helpful and not a cunning ploy to get us to sign someone not up to it 

Aside from the fact that despite being a gas head, I’m sure Jamie Hedges remains professional when in contact with other clubs, including City, if his ploy was to get City to sign someone who was not up to it then I’m sure he would have suggested someone other than Josh Stokes.

Little snippet that Casa-Grande recalled. With Thomas at Bromley now and possibly Bajic on the way out this summer is it possible he’s on the bench tomorrow or is he just here now as third choice following Thomas going?

 

Seen that as well. Had been doing well out there as well. 
Would be a strange move to bring him back just to be 3rd choice. 
My first thought was maybe there’s been an injury suffered this week but it could be that they’ve already made a decision regarding Bajic.

Another bout of torrential rain in the past 24 hours, not looking good for local football again this weekend. 

Polska Polska!!

do you really need alcohol before a game especially an early kick off. 

Yes.
