Norn Iron

Thanks Phantom. You're not being pedantic at all. I obviously misunderstood from a previous thread what you'll be up to on Wednesday. Needless to say, others are now saying they haven't had a promised refund. I can gladly pm you the emails from AMG confirming we would be getting a refund. I didn't want to make the sender's name public.

With the SC&T meeting this Wednesday, I still haven't received the refund promised by AMG. I would be grateful if those that complained after 3pm KO could let me know if you received anything even if it was £1. I eventually had great correspondence with one person from AMG. This is what he said. "Yes the club are asking us to refund....." Thanks.

Slarti, wouldn't it be based on average attendance figures for the clubs? My guess is Torquay and Yeovil still attract decent crowds, Taunton not so.

For those that haven't read all 91 whoops 92 pages (hello Phantom, :laugh:) here is a summary.... BCFC are now having all their shirts made in China and available through another website. You get a free pie with every order plus free entry to SC&T meetings courtesy of Zoom. The 3rd kit known as Splat is now the second kit. The away kit will be released in September together with a dvd on neck exercises. This will help the wearer either expand or contract their neck muscles for a proper fit. Many people can personally vouch for the poor/good quality of the kit even though they haven't actually felt one in the shop let alone wear it. Some people have bought the new O'Neills shirt but their opinions don't count. Posters have also done their own private polls where the results show everybody hates it and isn't a patch on other manufacturers especially Castore, who nobody had heard of 8 years ago as they didn't exist. I see O'Neills products every day here in Norn Iron where they are made. They look good and are good, apart from BCFC products obviously and don't let's talk about their t-shirt range especially if it is Blue. But me? I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk.

I've explained in previous posts here Ian that Castore wasn't a thing until around 2015 ish. A couple of under 30s sporting brothers wanted to get into sportswear. Because of a financial background their connections obviously helped. They have significant backing. A shrewd move to get a major team to wear their clothing must've helped despite the obvious cost. Just like Admiral who went for Leeds in the early 70s which took their sportswear to another level, so did Castore with Rangers plus other non- football teams. Who made/make Castore clothing? Don't know.....maybe O'Neills under licence! Now that would be funny.

Ummm Bradford City? Could play them away in the FACup 3rd round...

Related: The Tourist season 2 reveals first-look at returning Jamie Dornan Discussing their new show following its announcement last year, the Williamses said in a joint statement: "We loved making The Tourist and Boat Story picks up where that left off — tonally, at least. "It's a morality tale and a thriller and other things that make it hard to define even though we seem to be attempting to define it. It's full of vulnerable, messed-up and eccentric characters, and we've cast some of our favourite actors to play them. "We are excited to bring this to life along with our fellow directors." Coming soon on the Beeb!

*the only exception is if you're Bristol City and have a £25 million rated player! Fixed it for you Dave.

I can see it now. Our new away kit is purple with green dots, in a similar style and position but resembling a Robin ( a vertical Splat or modern badge thing)!

Apologies. I was trying to be topical/humorous regarding the 'annoyance' that many feel towards the Splat Robin. I've always thought the Robin was awarded as the OTIB version of a Blue Peter badge. A post that shows a person's thought or deed to be worthy of praise, would get a Robin. It could be about the poster or about their subject matter eg a player doing something positive out of normal office hours. However, and this is where the OP has a genuine point, should it be necessary to count how many Robins have been awarded to individuals. It would mean that a Robin, for a positive player story, would go to the poster on countback.

I think the Robin means everything initially was fine, no problem, no need to fix anything. We're waiting on the Splat Robin.

I flew over for the Scunthorpe away match. Scunny had 3 different keepers in 20 minutes which is another story). Also, I witnessed Jet taking a pen and scoring.

He didn't have to run as if a fast bowler when taking a penalty either! Even a slow round the wicket spinner was faster than Jet.

Arrested by the special branch?

And if Andy Scott was the captain and in his pre-match huddle immediately prior to kick-off were Neville, Leaning and Harford, I wonder what his last few words would be....

Aha! I googled and found this.... https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/bristol-basin

Thanks PB for this thread. If I ever get a chance to visit NYC again, my mission will be to track down the plaque! I know there are other City fans living in NYC. Perhaps they could find out if the plaque is still there?

He is indeed. Even his homage to the greatest war film ever made is good. What do you mean Where Eagles Dare isn't true? Dont let fact get in the way! I'm particularly enjoying his current mini-series on the deaths of Mr and Mrs Hitler and the evidence to suggest it might not have been their bodies that were burned. Will Mark reveal that Hitler did indeed move to Argentina (or maybe not as the history books tell us)?

We are and according to this thread it is only available mail order from China. You also get a free pie with every purchase.

Hi Sarumred (Salisbury?) Occasionally this happens to me if I accidentally already opened it on my phone and then open it again. Closing previous tabs then gets it rectified. If this still doesn't work, do a cache clearance in your Google settings.

As a former radio presenter and training officer specialising in interview techniques (and now podcaster) what I liked was how Sheridan seemed more measured and relaxed in her commentary style. Like we would all be in our first few months of commentating, Sheridan has lost that high treble excitedness and relied instead of using decent words to paint the action on the pitch. She clearly demonstrated to me that she loves the game and knew her stuff about our players (and theirs). Sheridan also kept her opinions to a minimum as opposed to others who think they've played at the highest level and know more about the game than say Gary Owers. If you're reading this Sheridan, well done. Hope to hear you again soon when BCFC are playing.

From Weston-super-Mare apparently.

Can I say how good Sheridan Robins was last night as the commentator on Radio Brizz? I can? Sheridan Robins was last good last night as the commentator on Radio Brizz. She never got flustered and joined in with Gary Owers' banter.

I like Neil better. Sorry.
