Why is it that when I see Ross McCorie I immediately start sing Oasis Morning glory. Maybe that should be the basis of his song, "Whats the story Ross McCorie". 

I need a little time to get fit get fit

My season ticket is in the middle of a punch of POTD tickets in the Dolman and there’s a group of (what I’d guess is!) Polish guys who’ve started rocking up in full city hats and scarves combos, and seem to enjoy the games more than everyone else around them. Had some Americans and Chinese groups for the odd game too. Think it’s a good sign if non-Bristolians fancy a game down the gate (as long as it doesn’t go to Man Utd levels)

I sat next to Polish family in the Dolman a few years back, all decked out in city kit and scarves, mum and dad and kid, great to see!

If you have the cash you can still get a seat via the Heineken Lounge:

If you're still desperate for a ticket, and have a spare bob or two, there's plenty of Heineken Lounge tickets available...

Apologies just seen you posted as well!  Great minds!

Weird - I was told very soon after 2pm that it had sold out !!!!

It kept saying sold out then when you refreshed some tickets came up again, this happened continuously for 20 odd minutes, I assume because people had tickets in their basket then decided they didn't want them

Does anyone have a problem receiving the emails with a Hotmail account. I've had issues with this before, and was told by the ticket department they do have problems with Hotmail accounts. I've been downloading them to the wallet recently, but no can do on this occasion 

I got my tickets to my Hotmail within 10 mins so worked for me, I've had the same Hotmail for 20 odd years!

With the number of season ticket holders and members we now have no big game will ever make it to general sale unless the capacity is significantly increased.

It did make it to general sale today, I got my tickets at 2:25 after refreshing for 25 minutes

2 tickets just purchased for S20, I stuck with a block and kept refreshing for 25 mins until 2 together came up and managed to get them!  Phew!

There was VERY briefly for me too - and in many other blocks - then they all disappeared in an instant. It simply doesn’t add up.

Just on the train back. How far offside was TC for the disallowed goal? None of the highlights have shown it.

Miles and miles and miles

Isn't the problem with a Network Rail controlled part of the infrastructure rather than a GWR issue?

This is the whole problem for me with the trains, the train companies don't own or operate the tracks they run on, if they did then they would have ownership of the whole operation

should have travelled last night like I did - people knew the trains were going to be a problem today. I have no sympathy 

Yeh cause everyone has £200 for hotels to spend, lucky you

That pub could tell some stories 

It was a great pub when I first went there but they killed it when they knocked it all through!

Fortunately long left the company 

I worked for the overall insurance group about 6 years ago, and stayed in Arron Banks pent house apartment in Gibraltar a few times whilst working there (not bad work if you can get it!).  I wasn't aware he had sold up, although they have changed names from Eldon to Somerset Bridge (of which Go Skippy is a product).  Arron set the company up after leaving Brightside Insurance who he also set up who are based in the old Aust service station.

Bonkers to declare him the right appointment so early, we were two points off the POs when NP was

sacked, and now we’re one point off. What we can surely all agree on though is that it’s been a very encouraging 9 points from 9, three wins in three different circumstances, and two very winnable games to come. 
 

 

Looking at the league fixtures I think all games until Feb v Leeds are winnable

Whatever happens (and I’m loving what I’m seeing atm) this transfer window will make or break it for me, difference between bottom to mid v mid to top half. 
 

 

Let's hope for no Ryan Kent's or Dionys!

It's ridiculous isn't it. This place is always three results (and it is results) away from heaven or hell.

Life is just a series of peaks and troughs, and you don't whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it, you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow you've got to put up with the rain". Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.

Are we the real deal now? COYR!

I agree that their keeper should have saved our second two goals IMO, they were hardly power strikes

Lyrics to a town called malice(anis) would be a lot more original than the OP suggestion but I’m way to lazy and not John Lennon to start trying 

Struggle after struggle, year after year, but the atmosphere is changing now that Mehmeti is a red, in a town called Anis, oooooooh

that's how to build a temporary stand!

Really gets on my nerves the constant "re-building" spouted by those upstairs, of managers and players.

I see it as cashing in on our best assets, and yes I know other clubs do but constant re-building then knocking down again and again gets us no-where.

Looking at 2 of our old assets Bents and Brownhill in tonights game and then just of the top of my head those 3 at Bournemouth others at Brighton, Fulham, Leeds  etc jeez wouldnt half make a decent team if they were all together those lost/transferred over the past 5-10yrs.

Point being imo we should tie down for longer decent players and managers way too much twisting and not enough sticking;

The manager and JL should have more belief in their choices AND STICK WITH THEM our best period when A Dicks was stuck with for years dispite the "Dicks Out" chants.

Our seemingly incessant turnover of managers and players is our downfall and needs to change if we are to progress.

 

I'll let you into a secret, nearly every single club in the entire world has to sell their best players at some point, don't worry about it

was a long-time fan of Chris Wilder, but he's gone off the deep end it seems.

By which you mean back to the Prem!

Any update on when he’ll be available?

What's the story Ross McCrorie?

I need a little time to get fit, get fit 

Every time JL spoke it sounded like he had chronic heart burn!  
 

Shame there weren't some better questions, I mentioned on here a while back about getting a collective of questions together of the big topics but alas it was just a missed opportunity really
