Reigate Red

As both Ole didn't mention it, and the Sky highlights didn't show it, I guess our penalty shout was a little optimistic? At the time I was thinking how quickly a game turns from possibly being 3-3 to instead 4-2. Clutching at straws I suppose.

I think it was picked today and flicked back at us

Ha. ha....yes but it's a fictional thriller related to the gunpowder plot and a catholic group set in Bristol. The tsunami bit is not a hidden surprise!

Interesting comments on this thread. I am at the other end of the age scale and thinking about retirement and a possible move back to "the homeland". However the house prices in Bristol are high and despite living in Surrey it does not look like there would be any "spare change" in a move. I am also aware of the traffic and public transport problems which are really putting me off. Have thought about other locations on a train line into Bristol.

Wish I'd watched this. I had a book for Christmas called the drowned city which is based in Bristol during the tsunami. I have not yet read it so no spoilers.

It was the same at the Den earlier in the season. Afobe was also class at that match and acknowledged the city fans during the macth.

Happy new year everyone. Lets hope 2022 is better all round?

Keep the campaign going into 2022!

Just bought one - 91 remaining.

Unless my eyesight has got that poor I cannot see any membership priority sale.

Has JL been freelancing with his crayons! Hope you all see a good game for the effort involved.

Just like 2017/18 when he said we were not "planning on promotion" that season - which then lead to players leaving

My grandad used to use that and I remember even as a boy struggling to understand some of what he said. Strangely this came up today at work when a Scottish colleague was asking me about Bristolian and dialect words. Unfortunately having left Bristol at 18 my once strong south Bristol accent has faded and reliant on alcohol to bring it to the fore Any good you tube links as I was thinking of sending some to her.

Must admit that the drone shot with the sun setting over Ashton Court gave me a few pangs of home sickness.

That thought crossed my mind that last season but there were other reasons as so many were going to be out of contract. If that is the case this season the we really are doomed. The lack of crowds and toxic atmospheres last season meant they had it easier, hopefully they won't get such an easy ride this time around.

Time for a few training sessions in Greville Smyth park ?

I'm not sure it does but I'm not sure how I feel either. Every capitulation just seems to bring out a feeling of despair at the mess we seem to be in. What with last season's abject performance's it just seems to be never ending. As others have said I'm not sure I have much enthusiasm to spend time and money watching them at the moment. It's a sad state as post covid lockdown I was really excited for the season and getting back to watching them.

Agreed but that didn't start well and I fear we wouldn't quite enjoy it so much if it happens.

Let's hope for only 3 mins added then!

The strange thing would be though that still being as bought they would have "shrunk" in that period.

Albania v Poland now into the 27th minute added time - what went on there? Edit : Finished at 29 minutes

Thinking of going but not been since the days of Highfield Road. As it's an out of town ground how do people get there?

Ha ha...I had a ticket for that but didn't go as was suffering from "man flu" - so glad when I saw the result.

Call me old fashioned but there was no goal scoring opportunity in the offing - the ball was moving away from the penalty area but then it's 1-0. Just seems disproportionate punishment to me.

Impressive - really looks like we are in good hands
