Purely commercially, the tickets prices in A block are more than the S82 prices. The club can't resell the S82 ones as I believe they are all season ticket seats but the A block ones have some available. It also doesn't look great if the singers can just pop up wherever they like. Im fully supported of getting singers near the away fans, but it has to be done properly and respectfully to those people who have their tickets there currently.

Adult? You've come onto a City forum, pretending to be a City fan, spent your time praising your thug of a manager and slating ours because he's 'not very nice in press conferences' and then tried telling us what we already know in that Lansdowns money should have returned more than a League Cup semi final, while your owner is giving Will Smith a Rovers shirt that he's probably using to wash his car with. You are have provided nothing good humoured or witty btw A team in the Championship for 8 consecutive seasons is the stuff of Rovers fans wet dreams. You'll be lucky if you stay up in League One for 8 years before revisiting League Two again. We've got two players who are individually worth more than your entire squad, players who have played in World Cups and won Premier Leagues, and play against similar players every week. So politely, don't come at us talking about half decent teams, you wouldn't know one if you saw one. We've got a game against a former Premier League winning team on Saturday, you worry about Wycombe Wanderers.

You think Barton is coming over well? You think his press conferences aren't embarrassing? You think having him managing your club isn't embarrassing enough? I'd rather have a drink with Pearson, every day of the week, and I'd buy every round, and pay for his taxi home, and then text him to make sure he got home ok, rather than spend 30 seconds in the company of Barton

VAR has been abysmal this season. Officials seem scared to give decisions

Tanner deserved more

Mina telling them what they want to hear so he can get home in one piece, not that I blame him one bit

Do we have a years option on his contract?

Agree. The cutting your nose off comment suggests we aren't going to leave ourselves short by letting him go when we have TC and AW injured.

Given the b*locks spouted by two other Ghanaian journos in the summer (remember the 'he's been allowed to leave the squad to sort out leaving Bristol City') I'm taking this with a pinch of salt for now. This is going to rumble on and he won't be going anywhere imminently with Conwell and Weimann out injured, can you see Wells starting with Bell or Martin on Saturday? Expecting this one to hit the end of the deadline to give us time to sort out a replacement.

KLP transfer at 18m/20m is the perfect indication of what we should be asking for. Scott is two years younger and has played a similar number of Championship games. If you want to go back further and look at a like for like position then 4 years ago James Maddison cost 24m aged 21. £20m is the minimum for me of what we should starting discussions at

Without this igniting the whole Bentley vs Max debate for the millionth time, this is good business. He isn't playing, he isn't going to get back into the team, he's a high earner, we have Bajic as backup. Makes perfect logical and financial sense. Good deal.

I'm still pissed off with the one Scott didnt get against QPR last season. Maybe we need to start plastering the 428 days (or whatever the number is) around the ground on a match day. Fans with it written on pieces of paper, stick it on the advertising hoardings going round the pitch, give Sam Bell a new squad number, pipe that annoying loop of 7 Nation Army into the referees dressing room for 428 seconds, stick it on a surfer flag

Maybe we should get a big banner 'Time Since Last Penalty' with a ticker so we can update it for the next two years. Might put some pressure on refs

If Bournemouth do want both of them then we have to be looking for a premium for them to take our two star players halfway through a season battling relegation. £30m minimum for the pair. FWIW I don't think Scott will go there, he's destined for a more established club I think and has been rumoured to have been scouted by Spurs and United.

The fact there's a thread on this bloke once every few months should be feedback enough for the club. The only thread I remember on David Lloyd was the Pete Boro incident!

Sadly, they backed the wrong horse with transfer funds quite substantially and we are paying for it now being hamstrung with no money to spend and players on high wages. On paper Pearson was a good appointment and most of the fanbase was very happy with it. What they do next could be a very big decision for the club

He's not doing well with these post match interviews is he. The Atkinson one last week riled a lot of people, let's follow that up by digging out the fans. The man's not helping himself

We all know they count season ticket holders regardless. 3 out of 4 in our group didn't go today and I suspect there's many who didnt turn up (including half of the squad). That picture is pretty damning when claiming 23k attendance

I guess the questions for the board are: 1) Is NP getting enough out of the players at his disposal 2) Do we trust him enough to back him with what little funds we have, were any to become available, based on his signings so far 3) Is there a better affordable option out there who is willing to work under the same financial restrictions NP has for me 1) I think this squad should be in a better position than it currently is 2) No. James good signing, Naismith jury is out for me, King should be cover but is now a starting CB... leaves Atkinson Klose Tanner Sykes all out of the team. Wilson injured but wasn't playing anyway. He's signed these players and none of them are pulling up trees 3) I don't know. Nobody realistic springs to mind.

Same. Boxing Day will now be spent at home with family, not getting frustrated at football in the cold

It's great how NP moans at the interviewer for not asking the right questions, then gives an answer which does nothing other than open up a can of worms as to what's happened with Atkinson. Nobody here will say Atkinson has been poor this season, I'd say he's been decent, so why not say RA has been poor in training, or his attitude sucks, or he removed NP as a friend on Facebook. Don't ask for a better question then give an ambiguous answer. I've been very much NP in until now on the basis that he's had very little to spend and he's not working with his players. But if he's not playing the CB he spent 1.5m on, leaving him and the other CB he signed in Klose out of the squad, then I'm fast losing support for him with the way we are playing and the poor results.

I saw today marks 25 years since Scotty first joined the club. Minus a brief jaunt to Reading and then a couple of other clubs post City in the twilight of his career, Scott has been part of the furniture at AG and there must be thousands of stories of how he has helped people out of the years with shirts, donations, tickets, autographs, with multiple charities, I even saw him put. Rovers shirt on for charity for goodness sake. Simply, it's about time this legend had his testimonial. I know it's 10 years unbroken service and some point out that the Reading sabbatical interrupted this, but this season marks 10 unbroken years as kitman. So how do we get this on the agenda? Is it something the SC&T can take forward? Some fan power from our podcasts/fanzines? A good old fashioned petition?

100% in favour or a winter break, but early Jan. I also never want a winter World Cup again.

Yeh that's the clincher for me not going to that match then. Bollox to these stupid kick off times AND a Sunday.

Lineker said in the post match that it is the first direct free kick goal this WC, with the last one being Trippiers against Croatia in the semi final in 2018
