Thanks Maggie, now go polish Steve's golf clubs

Well said, now use your not considerable intellect to respond to my post, you complete half wit…every City supporter should be proud and grateful for the chance to polish anything he wants.

If you don't like his ownership, dig your grubby little paw in your back pocket, pull out your grubby plastic little wallet, buy the club and start financing it yourself.

Not sure what that has to do with Harry Dolman, as he died in 1977.

Anyway I’ve just looked at your post history & there’s absolutely no point in debating with you.

Thanks for looking.

Fair enough, it’s a forum you are entitled to your view.

He’s had 20 years in charge & we are flatlining.

I don’t think Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Watford, Fulham, Swansea or Cardiff are “sleeping giants” either but they have all managed something he hasn’t.

We were totally financially stable under Harry Dolman (who did achieve top flight football) so that bit is bollocks, by the way.

BCFC 1982 Ltd, financially stable?

With you 100% until the last sentence, can’t happen soon enough.

Yep, Lansdown has done such a bad job, rebuilt the ground, written off debt, given us financial stability for virtually the only time since WW2 and now we are established in the 2nd tier…personally I'm delighted he's our owner and can't imagine who will be better.

Bristol City isn't a big club, has average gates for the division it's in and has only been higher in 11 seasons of our 126 year history and we struggled in every one of those, we are no sleeping giant that justifies frustrstion from fans that we aren't playing amongst the elite every week.

He's not that long into a 7-year contract though, isn't he?

I don’t the details but I would imagine it will have some break points and required performance criteria.

I just said this to a mate, how longs he got? 

Top half at Christmas he should be ok, although personally I think he’s had more than long enough and there are some outstanding talents available who would be half his rumoured cost.

With what he inherited and had to play with I think he did an outstanding job 

Really? Most season ticket holders would do as well…it’s not just him but very few managers/coaches are worth half of what they are paid and most just talk complete bollacks to the media and fans lap it up as they watch their clubs fail. Collectively these guys are the greatest con artists of all time.

Despite what many think early on on this forum, I’m not anti NP or pro SL.

But can I ask you what makes you so certain NP was the right man going forward, and that no one else out there can also do the job? 

1.2 points per game, how did he survive so long?

Would fit with a toxic ownership, look what they did to Pearson, who in his right mind would want to work for them narrative. 
 

I remember years ago, when SOD was appointed, he remarked that BCFC was respected as a club, within the football industry. I wonder how many people on the inside would say that today?

 

I wonder why anyone bothers with football club ownership when halfwitted idiots like you make up a significant proportion of the supporters . Why don’t you and a few of the rest of the millionaire morons pool your life savings and buy the club and then you can run it, invest in it, write off its annual losses and ship the s**t the Lansdown do. 
if not, shut TF up and show a bit more gratitude to the best owners this club has had since Harry Dolman.

Great keeper, nice guy and as the video showed, a smile was never far away.

Thank you, downloaded mine

Nothing wrong with us hating eacother,  long may it continue 

Seriously? It’s just football, I think they are sad, deluded, often pathetic and pitiful and definitely worthy of our unfettered derision but I don’t have the energy to “hate” another group of people because they support a different football team…and the more they react to the differences between our two clubs the funnier I think they are.

Just joined up, but reticent to start my first topic discussing how they took more to Wembley than Leicester and Chelsea combined, as it might be too strong and blow my cover straight away.

They are very suspicious of new boys but there really are so many gifts…it needs to be a slow burn

True... I was born and raised in Fishponds, been City all my life along with quite a few other reds.

Ditto, I used to get the No 19 bus which went direct from Straits Parade, Fishponds to The Gate...cost about 6d each way.

Yes, on every level.

Confirmed, the “family club” has finally sacrificed all claims to decency.

Do we really want this pair of *****?

One of the reasons I cringe when some ******* roaster shows up on here saying “ermagerd y is there a thread about the gas do u think stoke have one about vale?”

Anyone who remembers the Gas when we used to play them every season will remember how grotesque their fans are. They’re bad enough now when their funny little club is a complete basket case. I can’t even image what they would be like if we got relegated from the Football League by a club wearing our kit 

I intend to fully enjoy this situation until they do something to change it.

I watched my first two Bristol derbies in the FA Cup in 1968 so I expect I’m many years a supporter before you.

For what it’s worth i loath them as much as the next man but equally the chance to glory in their total crapness is something I would miss, so I don’t want them to disappear as their current predicament is like an eternity in hell for them, and long may it continue.

Apparently, the first four words you see here reveal your subconscious mind. According to someone on twitter.

 

Love, gratitude, connection, power...Twitter is for airheads, so who cares.

Some other favourite derby memories:

1984: 3-0 win at the Gate, first time we had met them in the league in a fair while

1993: The night when we effectively relegated them. Great atmosphere that evening

1997: Beating them three times at their new hovel in a calendar year

1998: 2-0 win at the Gate (partly thanks to a bit of a dodgy penalty award) that went a long way to securing our automatic promotion

2000: 3-2 Beadle-inspired victory the Friday before Xmas. Gash took the lead after about 50 seconds but weren’t in the game after that.

I remember an evening back in the early 70s when we played the Gloucestershire Senior Professional Cup Final at Eastville, in the  days when it was a big deal and both teams put out a first team. Our forward line scored the first four leaving Skirton, no 7, the odd one out and they fed him until he got the fifth...happy days and not much has changed.
