cidered abroad

The biggest problem with that length of time into next season, is that sitting at the bottom of the Championship table with 3 to 6 points out of thirty six (36) means that we will be absolute certainties for relegation! Do it now gives the next manager time to rebuild and regenerate the playing staff and their confidence. I don't mean getting a lot of new faces in but getting those already here to regain confidence and tactics.

Well done Ivor keep the red, red robin bouncing along. Thanks to Jerry for looking after him.

That is what should occur but we all know it won't happen.

10.05 am and they are already sending reminders for us to renew 9 months of watching a load of garbage.

Either still about 2 miles from Clifton or perhaps now in Clifton.

Yes, he'd be a novice manager. But he could and probably would, get a senior almost retired manager as his ASSISTANT. Plenty around. One in Looe and another if he's not moved back up north in Nailsea. Even Big Joe Jordan is a local resident.

I completely agree with all of your comments. If he is still here at New Year 2025, we will be absolute certainties for relegation. If he is still here on the last day for us to renew our Season Tickets, I will not renew as I feel the current situation could damage us much more than 1982. @Jerseybean

I was impressed with Coventry because they hardly used the "sideways and backwards" method of play. And it paid off very well.

Probably for the same reason as the owners don't contact. We are not professional football coaches so he doesn't know how to keep us informed or involved. We're just the rabble who knows nothing about coaching who turn up, year in year out hoping to be entertained.

SL only interested in money and couldn't care less about the main reason for the club's existence.

Sod all will happen while Lansdown Senior owns the club!!!

It's now clearly obvious to me that SL doesn't give a toss about the results of all clubs, City, City Women, Bears and Bears Women. Basketball is totally irrelevant! All he cares about is profit from construction of buildings! We could end up in National South and he wouldn't bcare.

Second half siege of the City goal at the Brummie Road end of the Hawthorns. Almost as good a night as a year later at Coventry. PS. Four of us went by car. Parked and got to the Hawthorn's pub which was absolutely heaving with red and white. One of our four, got down on his hands and knees, disappearing into the bar. Returned three minutes later with four pints, or nearly as some got spilled on the way back.

A lot of us did. The 1-7 defeat at Northampton was watched on a Sunday afternoon by, I was there, by around 2,500 City fans. When we scored at 0-5, my wife laughed when she told me to sit down and shut up. The standing City fans gave the boys, and many of them were under 19, a rousing departure from the pitch at the end of the game. Proud of the boys and the old uns like Ritchie.

He will sell sooner or later. My fear is that he will sell City but keep the ownership of the stadium which means that we cannot use the non football income toward FFP. I used to respect SL but don't trust him one iota any more.

I have just had the displeasure of reading the Post, or whatever they are named these days. I found it rather shallow in all respects. I won't nit pick all the things he trotted out but I seriously cannot give it any credence. Compare it with what is produced by most other clubs and it is so amateurish. Confirms my belief that at Bristol City we'd like to be successful whereas at many other clubs, they are determined that promotion, trophies and success will be achieved. Those former top tier clubs now in League One and Championship are adamant that their place in the top tier will be recovered soon. Not like City where we seem very content with mid/lower Championship 44 years since we dropped out of the First Division. As one City chairman in mid 90's said "We like being the big fish in the Third Division rather than a minnow in the Second tier!

@Silvio Dante @CliftonCliff SD you've just started me crying. It's the same for me because Dad took me there when I was six. He'd seen City a few times before WW1, when visiting relatives in Bristol. When he moved from Rhondda to Filton he was an instant City fan. Took me all over the country to see them. I don't want to stop going but it really is complete dross and do I want to sit there watching backwards and sideways in Div 3.

I'm the same as you. 81 in July, supporting City has been a very significant part of my life. I'm giving up my ST for Bears as travel to Bristol is more tiring every year. As for City, I've always jokingly said that when I can't go to games, screw the lid down and light the fire. But I never expected that we'd have such a sad bunch running the club as SL, baby SL Tinman and Manning. I don't want to see my eighth relegation so am seriously thinking of not renewing.

I've seen worse teams than this and worse financial times but the reasons were that nobody with real cash was there at the time. If any real City supporter had the £ billions that he has,they wouldn't worry about the spending £10 million per year in a way that he seems to. As for renewing ST. I'm 81 in July, and have physically supported City since 1950. But the shambles of the last five months of backwards and sideways tactics sending most of us to sleep, tells me it's time to call it a day and that I should find other ways of spending my time while I'm still well and active.

Now able to watch on phone insread of laptop. City are pathetic. Swansea are not much better, but are more likely to find a way to goal. Please Manning, go now!

I've paid twice for TV tickets and can't get the game. TV as bad as the team.

Wow, they don't seem relaxed in the correct way to be an hour or more before a match. I don't like this.

And we had a proven quality manager of his staff and players, yet the three clowns got rid of him to take on a total novice.

It's complicated. We do house swap holidays and it's the return for one in Amsterdam last year. Dutch were at another house in Germany so the return swap is now. So we picked out Weymouth as ok for 10:days now. It's actually Portland and the gales haven't stopped since we arrived last Wednesday. Fxxcking freezing.

No. On holiday in Weymouth so will watch on TV.
