Drinks on Nige for the team bus back to Bristol!

Forgot he stood for mayor as well!

I think Scrumpy's no longer on the Bristol Sport bus. He was kicked off through the emergency exit. 

You'd think Semenyo would want to stay as he knows he'll be playing regularly with City so will be fully match fit for the World Cup. If he went to a Prem team he'd probably be a bit-part player and underprepared for the World Cup. 

If he has a good World Cup I can see him wanting to leave in January and if we get a good offer then best of luck to him! 

Not bad for a player we picked up playing amateur football at SGS College

The savings for smaller clubs kicking off at 2pm instead of 3pm on weekends will far outweigh any potential loss of fans due to an earlier kick off. 

Football was played with big attendances up until the 1950's without floodlights as well.

Pre Dolman Stand?

That mustn't have been the best view if you were sat in that stand!

I've thought that as well. I've read about them and they bought promotion one year from the Spanish FA! 

The Hummel kits have been better than what we had from TFG if they're trying to model it on the 2005 kit. 

Does anyone have any information on the old plans for a previous new stadium in Hengrove? A friend mentioned it to me and it wasn't something I could remember ever being discussed.   

What did Liam Fox have to say about the railway line?

Highlights of Semenyo v Madagascar. 

Interesting reading the statement from the Charlton directors about moving the club due to a lack of support in the local area. I wonder if they picked up any former Arsenal fans after Arsenal moved from Woolwich to north London. 

Who knew so many ex City players now play in Serie A!

Couldn't beat watching Football Italia on channel 4 back in the 90s

Agree with what you say but unfortunately we all know his status means he not getting sent down for what he’s done .

Bradley Orr might have thought that as well and he went down for a month or so.

As they apparently hardly speak to each other these days, why would we want that animosity in the dressing room?

I thought they were best buds?

Interesting article on the BBC about the length of time a ball is actually in play over a 90 minute match.

No surprise that Stoke under Pulis had a game where the ball was only in play for 39 minutes! 

Constructive feedback - please can you stop talking over one another (especially Ian!) it makes it a very hard listen. 

League One looks a lot tougher now then it did when we were last there in 2015.  

The tickets v Hull are cheaper than normal. £18 an adult, £10 over 65's etc.

How does promotion work in the u23 league?

He asks if the question can be repeated a lot!  

Did Mark Ashton accept his award last year for champagne moment?

Decent goal from Sproule v Leicester, not too bad a goal from Skuse after as well!
