I guess the priority is a good vibe. No idiots and a crowd of age 30’s and upwards.

Good rum is a bonus.

Music - Nothing too heavy but somewhere to throw shapes!

last time I was out we ended up in The Woods which was pretty good although that seems to be a whiskey bar now?

thanks for the help

If you want good rum, head over to Cardiff. On a recent night out there, went to a bar called Rum and Fizz. Over 220 different rums. 

Sorry for going off topic and crossing the border!

Took a trip to the national football museum yesterday morning as the rain prevented us attending the test match. Really recommend it, plenty of old City stuff to find. There was a interactive bit where you could listen to old local radio commentary of every team. Listened to Phil tottle commentating on tinmans goal v Liverpool. What a voice, and gave me the goosebumps.

I don’t see a space for pulp and any stage unfortunately, can’t see it happening 

Although Nick Banks, the drummer, has tweeted something quite teasing......

I've seen him walking around failand several times with his young family and dogs, so always guessed he lived around there.....

It would be perfect if City and the Bears swapped suppliers. 
 

Well, I can tell you the Bears are going O'Neills too.....

Was gonna take a sneaky peek, but no point now!

Think confirmation may soon  be in the offering. Source?........me!

I have 10 boxes with the HPTC address on it, emblazoned with o'neills tape, in my van to be delivered today.

I thought Wells was very lucky not have received a red card. He lost it with Cunningham and he raised his arms to him which would , with a normal ref, vindicate a sending off. 
I understand completely his reaction but he was out of control. 
Cunningham should have been sent off at least twice. What a synt that bloke is. 

He was the same ref who booked luke freeman in the same incident that saw sykes sent off against Luton. So if there was one thing this ref got right, it was consistency.

I have paid for my ticket on Thursday night  but have not received the email so I can print it off. I see the ticket office is open until 1030 tomorrow, Does that mean I need to get to the ground early to pick up?

I have noticed that the 2 previous home games, the tickets i bought went into the junk folder, when it has never happened before. Check your junk folder before phoning maybe.....

Also, no need to print, just scan the barcode from your phone to the machine at the entrance. 

As some mentioned before....if you have Q box, voice activate 'bristol city' and it will be there

What a truly mad player Christian Roberts was, seemingly either brilliant or awful, with pretty much no in between.

Fairly sure he scored a hat trick up at Barnsley when he was just unplayable.

Always seemed to score at Ninian Park against “his” team & of course that iconic Hartlepool goal.

His book goes s long way to explaining why this is the csse. Think the most used word in it is Stella.

We stopped them doing much of that today.  When we got it right, Tommy and Nahki tended to play more on the outside CBs than splitting 50:50, meaning they had to go back inside, into Grimes, and into congestion…or into a good structured defensive set-up.

This was early on.

After 10 or so minutes, Tommy probably goes 3/4 yards closer to Cabango.

Grimes got on the ball, lots, as he usually does, but neither he or Fulton got ball between the lines.  Antoine dropping in between James and Scott.

Darling got forward once, as did Wood, but that was it.

James was masterful at never getting dragged too wide, too far away from Scott.  He picked up Cundle when he tried to split wide to leave room for Obafemi or a drifting Cooper, but he never went as far as 10 yards from the touchline, so we never / rarely let them get a man free inside.

Ntcham made a difference for them.  He drifted around and they finally got some link-up into Obafemi’s feet.

I was quite disappointed in them, found them boring to watch.  Far too slow.

 

Agree with the boring bit.....a direct team get a lot of flak, but I'm sure they'd create more chances than Swansea did. I thought Swansea just passed it for passing's sake

Maybe our makeshift defence might be surprisingly dominant......

Can't see Atkinson in the warm up.....Joe low is there though

At the moment......

Manics - Holy Bible

REM - New adventures in Hi Fi

Pulp - Different Class

(British) Sea Power - The decline of British Sea Power

Super Furry Animals - Radiator

Agree, Semenyo always looks better in the second half, even when he starts. Maybe due to the game opening up, creating more space for him to turn and run at defenders

There was also a moment when their number 8 put his head into pring twice off the ball

What have we done to deserve Keith Stroud one game, then Gavin Ward the next?

Give the bloke a break

He’s had to put up with court cases , incompetent officials , injuries , the expectation of managing a massive club and now pesky ‘kids’ trying to kick his ‘seasoned pros’ () off the pitch 

And ball boys being too good at their job

Just look at the refs for those games, a real who`s who!

Keith Cooper, who I believe is Steve's dad. League had plenty of Welsh refs then, not anymore.

Always remember Lester Shapter from torquay! The groans when he was announced as the ref! Him and Alf Bushk

Is that the one that covers up until about 1987?

Magnificent book and was the main source of data up to that date for the Citystats website when it was created.

Shame I've lost my copy somewhere now

No, this one goes up until the Gary Johnson years. The old man had the one you mentioned. Is indeed a great book.
