    Fair play to those making the trip and especially those who have to travel from Bristol.

    I never really understand the appeal of going to these away games unless something riding on them, especially with the cost associated to it. Rarely do I go past the midlands 🤣
     

    Do I count having just landed on the Norn Iron flight for tomorrow's game? 

    For me,  Birthday and Christmas presents are flights to watch BCFC. This will be my 75th league grounds with BCFC. Unfortunately, it is not quite 50 if you count current grounds and not their old venue. 

    To catch up with mates and watch BCFC is my buzz. It'll be my second game this season having seen the Stoke game at the Gate. I'm also flying over for the Ipswich game so that'll be my 76th ground. If we get to the promised land, then 92 is achievable. Unfortunately, most of my grounds were from the 80s onwards when we were dire but the fun going to those grounds and nearby pubs was great.

  12. Andi Weimann appreciation thread

    The biggest memory I will have of Andi was the incredible pass with the outside of his right boot on the left wing at QPR. I had flown over for this game and despite the City being battered in the second half, the team never gave up. Then in the 93rd minute we had a break and Andi did this for Nahki ....

  14. Dehumidifiers?

    in General Chat

    Posted

    We live in a new build bungalow. Condensation has been a problem especially when the triple glazing works so well in retaining the heat.

    I looked at dehumidifiers but opted to buy the small plastic containers from big supermarkets/ hardware shops at around £1.25 each. 

    This pic shows a completely filled dehumidifier.

    We've also a month ago,  put a Peace Lilly into the bathroom to help with the condensation as recommended by the press. They look good and the jury is still put as to whether the plants actually work. However, even in January, opening the bathroom window really helps....and dehumidifiers aren't supposed to go into bathrooms according to elf n safety.

    Try the cheap disposable pots first would be a start.

    You weren’t isolated at all. I gave text updates on a what’s app group as I had the game on tv via espn. 
     

    I think the audio has been so crap for so long those who rely on it have given up complaining!

    The WHU game will doubtless have multiple dodgy streams but it is being advertised on espn+ in the North American colonies. 

    Thanks Redoxo.

    Hopefully others will say they couldn't get tge feed either.

    Hi,

    Thanks everybody for replying. Yes, I knew the FA Cup is available on the BBC Web. However, when you pay the annual sub, you like to use the service 

    I wrote to them and after you read their reply, you'll know why I posted! The service has been woeful this season and if enough people post on here, I can then write to Lisa Knights.

     

     

     
    Thanks for reaching out,
    We're continually fine-tuning our live stream to provide the best experience possible.
     
    Upon reviewing our reports and notes from the operations team, we didn't find any consistent issues during the event. No widespread complaints were reported by other viewers either.
     
    From our end, it seems the problem might be isolated, as technical glitches on our side typically affect all viewers. When an issue affects only one viewer, it usually points to a problem on their end.
     
    For more details on streaming terms and conditions, you can check our website. We're unable to process a refund in this case and we apologise for any inconvenience caused

    I wrote to the streaming site as I wasn't getting any audio feed on my laptop or phone.

    They've just written back to say that it must have been an isolated case as nobody else has complained.

    Bearing in mind the commentary was on Radio Briz anyway, I'd be grateful if there were other fans trying to listen on the official City stream and can let me know by posting on this thread. Please post as well if you were able to listen on Robins Audio Feed.

    I can't believe it is just me as an isolated case, especially as I heard the automatic voice saying 'Framed' but then not getting an audio feed.

    Need a little time to wake up

    Need a little time to wake up, wake up

    Need a little to rest your mind

    You know you should, so I guess you might as well

    What's the story, Ross McCrorie?

    Well?

    Surely the Balamory theme tune would be easier and quicker!

    What's the story, Ross McCrorie,

    Isn't he good to go!
