Massive win for Newcastle v. Barf last night. Bath lost 3 on the spin and are our next opponents at AG in the cup next Friday (the 13th!) 

Lets hope we can get something against Saints this afternoon. 

Watched the game live on Kodi. What a great comeback!!!!! C'mon Bris!!!!! (Not so good though that Wuss are 21-7 up v. Q) 

Chiefs stuffed Wuss tonight too so a good result there. Disappointed that Gengey got the "winning" try against his own team last night mind!

Heard it was more to do with him getting away from certain influences in his hometown..

I was being somewhat circumspect in my initial post

that is what I call an optimist! Robinson is a disgrace. Low point was when they lost Ellis Genge who was a south bristol lad destined for stardom who we left on the bench and went straight into the Leicester first team! Robinson make Odriscoll look like Fergy. Get rid of him now!

Genge left for "personal reasons" as it goes. He probably is destined for big things. Just not in bristol. 

Crying out for some quality and experience to come into the squad next month!

Exeter just seemed to have more players on the pitch on Friday! They move the ball so well and Bris had no answers. Bris seem to rely on playing a pack game whereas Exeter's running and  passing was just too much for us to deal with. 

BUT realistically these first 4 games were never going to provide wins, but missing out on a couple of bonus points could prove crucial. Games against Sale, Newcastle, Glos and Wuss should be the crucial ones - failure in those and it really will be curtains. 

Bloody loads of Chiefs fans dotted around the ground mind, not surer about the head-dresses tho!

May I suggest that those marvellous souls making the rather arduous journey to South Yorkshire today pay a visit to the Florence Nightingale Pub on Moorgate Road. I believe it should still be there and is where the Classic Rock Society was formed in 2009 and has had the likes of Rick Wateman, Steve Hackett from Genesis, DJ Bob Harris, Rod Argent, Dave Cousins, Fish, Gordon Giltrap, Dave Greenslade, Roger Hodgson, Carl Palmer (Emmerson Lake & Palmer), Dave Pegg and John Wetton (Asia) as patrons and presidents. The society is still going strong and Rotherham has rather become the go to 'base camp' for rockers of all ilks with regular concerts and get togethers. Focus, Glenn Tilbrook, Magnum, ex-members of Whitesnake and Bad Company, Springsteen guitarist Nils Lofgren, It Bites, The Groundhogs, Climax Blues Band, Judie Tzuke, Sam Brown, members of Supertramp and a whole host of big name progressive rock bands from the UK and countries such as the USA, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Norway, France, Belgium, Germany and others have performed, often quite regularly, in Rotherham.  One such band with a big reputation today is Californian group Spock’s Beard and their first ever UK show was for the CRS in Rotherham. Marvellous.

I wonder what Fish drinks like?

Perhaps, if it was an analogy, yes but its not.

Even though all three are literary devices used as tools of comparison, metaphors and similes are both figures of speech, while analogy is not. An analogy is a rational argument that is used to explain how two apparently dissimilar things are, in reality, quite similar.

Ok. It's just crass. Happy?

So if I make the remark that the Burger Bar Boys are coming today to 'receive' a beating from the Johnson Crew would it mean anything? To those who tend to watch and follow gang culture they might. They are both, or were, rather notorious gangs from Aston and the former were involved in some murders that hit the national news in 2003 when 2 girls died when they got hit in cross fire as the Johnson Crew were targeted. I am merely using a simile that connects Aston to Bristol City via the Johnson Crew. So hopefully we can give Aston Villa a metaphorical beating today

A rather crass analogy if you ask me; comparing the killing of 2 people to a game of football. 

Changing tack though, how many "played for both" - recently there was obviously Baker on loan last season and the now departed Derek Williams as well as our beloved Scotty Murray but has anyone in recent times gone from BS3 to B6?

If they out do us it's only because their home gates are, on average, much smaller than ours. I'm not sure why so many of them take so much pride in this?

As 'Jack Dawe' correctly points out a few posts above, if you use away numbers as a percentage of home numbers their figures will be no better than Accrington or Hartlepool.....I bet fans of those two clubs don't constantly bang on to their neighbours and the wider football world about how great and loyal they think they are.

They are a prowed bunch though. 

and now you're gonna be believe us, the gas are going up 

Im resigned to it, it just seems they've got the momentum and will grab an auto place. Gutted really. Gastards. 

If anyone's up there early enough check out Reds BBQ and Tapped. Both awesome.

Advice for City fans going this evening. 

Wear yer big coat; gone proper nippy out it has. 

(Appreciate this advice will be lost on the yoof who like to display the fact they have a three hundred quid jumper).

Anyone turning up and finding the weather unexpectedly "parky" could always plaster themselves in Northern Soul or Willem II stickers - excellent at heat retention I hear. 

Bon voyage to those travelling to the grim north and COYR!!!! 1-0 City (Wilbs)

How will they fund any appeal? Surely they've reached the end of the road.

That's the sags flipped then

Just didn't know if the farm name was in jest. It's about time they did something with Severalls as well -been derelict about 20 years now

Where did the connection with Cuckoo come from I wonder?

Vital not to lose. Bloody wish I was going mind. Won't be much in it and I'm hoping we edge it. COYR.

Be interested to know why it was changed so late and why the two clubs didn't say in advance 'we might look to move this".

"Rob" (if that IS indeed your real name)

Maybe you could spend your Food Vouchers at the game? Perhaps you could pick them up off City Cat before the game and get your free program & "Bring a Friend" ticket for next season too.
