There was a small section of what looked like 16 yr olds in there on Saturday pissing off ST holders behind them with constant standing and general arrogance believing they can do whatever they wanted. Once their smuggled in cans of haze had been confiscated when off seeing their mates at half time, they came back got their coats and went off somewhere else, assuming they went to S82 instead.

The big screens have been made smaller, the replays etc used to fill the screen now it’s a lot smaller, I’m guessing that’s to fit in more advertising.
 

Think nearly everyone at AG didn’t get the memos from EFL. The ref barely adding time on he spoke to O’Leary about four times about time wasting and didn’t book him, players surrounding him at times and again didn’t book anyone. AG claiming late notification of the clock changes which basically means someone forgot to re-program it.

The ones who think singing "I can't read & I can't write....." is either clever, funny or ironic.... rather than cringing embarrassing..?!

It should be great having a singing section in that area - but it is just embarrassing. 

Funnily enough they sing that a few times and I was thinking, what a bunch of idiots. When they stewards eventually got them to sit down our came “we’re Bristol City we do what we want”.  

Better than the coke heads/pre pubescents sneaking in cans of Haze to stand constantly and pissing everyone off, that were in E34 today.

All the comments I’ve seen are a mixture of “that’s a bangin kit” “six hour wait for that?” And many “I don’t get what it has to do with ikea”. 

i know they don’t have much, if any history but a lot don’t even seem to know their old stadium was located where Ikea is now I think it’s all a bit strange promoting it inside ikea though.

I don’t get how they can get excited over kit releases when they just copy and paste each season but with a different shade of blue.

Why does every player that poses in their kit (including new signings), have a look on their face like they are en route to the gallows? 

Or a prison cell.

I know quite a few gas heads and they’re all reasonable people who, think normally until it comes to rovers then it all comes crashing down. It’s unbelievable. 
 

worked with one not so long ago that claimed, because they fill their dump more often than we sell out Ashton Gate then they have more fans than us. It actually hurt my brain when she spoke those words. I wasn’t surprised though as by the sounds of it her dad is right up there with believing every single piece of nonsense they make up.

I find it hilarious their argument for getting a temporary stand is “well it has a 12k capacity before so it shouldn’t need planning permission”. Ashton gate had 43k in the past does that mean we can add an extra 15k to it without any planning permission? No it doesn’t, you expect a small minority of fans from all teams to not have a grasp on reality but it seems higher with that lot. 
 

I was recently down the pub with a gas head mate and after a few pints the nonsense started coming out (from a usually sound mind) claims of “the only thing city have over rovers is the stadium” “tilson isn’t their record signing” apparently they broke that record at some point since 2000. “Wael has money, but doesn’t want to waste it and spends it wisely. They’re not in hardly any debt as Wael does what lansdown does and coverts it to shares”. “They’re building the club up behind the scenes and will be in the championship soon” and finally once they get “their” new stadium what are city gonna do then as rovers will be equal and challenging them. I asked about the free stadium and the response was, it’s all made up be jealous city fans and the sale of the cabbage patch with Waels millions will they will self fund the stadium.

He was fantastic, two or three great saves and good distribution

His distribution was fantastic all night.

The guy in goal for city though was a headless chicken at times, the reason Yate hit the crossbar from the halfway line rushing out and clearing it straight to a Yate player.

I don’t get changing early rounds to midweek, it’s going to affect attendances and in turn affect clubs gates receipts. 
 

For me the obvious answer is any club that qualifies for Europe doesn’t play in any domestic cup competition that season. They’ll all stop moaning about too many games when they aren’t winning any silverware.
 

I wish the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal did go off and join a super league. It’s going to happen at some point so why fight it. They get their money, we get competitive competitions back.

Jesus Christ that article is making out their about to sign Bobby Moore in his prime. 
 

I liked Wilson when he was with us and thought he would be a top player but for whatever reason it never worked out that way for him. 

I’ll be going undercover in the home end. My nephew lives in Portsmouth so taking him along for  his proper live game of football.

I genuinely don’t see it being a fortress.

The game has moved on from the nearest parallel of Wimbledon in the 80s. Players, particularly at premier level, are more protected and VAR makes it harder to get away with roughhousing or shithousing - and we know Luton play on the edge.

Players won’t be intimidated about playing in a small ground - how often do we see big clubs humbled at small grounds nowadays? Add in that the pitch isn’t small, it’s just enclosed, and I don’t think De Bruyne is really going to be that bothered that 8000 Luton fans are shouting at him.

Unless I’m mistaken, Luton won a lot of games 1-0. That isn’t happening next season. Every team has a striker (bar Everton) that can finish more clinically than our level, so they need more goals. Don’t see those coming.

If people genuinely think that premier league players will be a) intimidated and b) not protected then they’re mistaken.

Their best bet is going up and getting the money for long term sustainability. We’ve seen from Huddersfield for example how quickly that money can go though.

I’m firmly in the camp of them challenging Derbys lowest point record. The ground isn’t the factor people think it is and VAR/refereeing nature at the higher level is a huge part of that.

I also think they won’t be far away from Derby’s awful points record and I also think the record 9-0 defeat in the prem could be under threat when they’re away to the likes of Man City/Liverpool/Newcastle.

All this talk of the tight stadium helping them etc is all bull imo. One side of the stadium doesn’t even have fans in and the rest is what a grand total of about 9-10k home fans hardly like old tight stadiums like Selhurst park.

Jesus how bad is their defending, didn’t get near the Wycombe players and the few times they could clear the ball it went straight back to a Wycombe player. 
 

Every single time I watch the goals they concede it’s 99% of the time down to awful goalkeeping or defending. With the amount of mates he has coaching you’d think one of them could teach them how to defend. 
 

However I thoroughly enjoy watching their “defending” 

Oh wow the Gas defending is absolutely horrific, ball gets played past them, they just stop like it’s not their problem and the first touches on display  

interesting they loaned a goalkeeper that doesn’t look like he can reach the crossbar.

We’re playing the best and most star studded team in the land, I get times are hard and £38-£40 will be a struggle for me as lowly NHS worker but I shall be seeing what I can do to get there. If I can’t make it then it’ll be the tv, pizza and a few pints at home.

let’s not forget Bournemouth fans were charged £60-£65 for a friendly against Real Madrid not that long ago.

I can't believe it's only being televised on Channel 4, is that correct?

Think they have exclusive rights to Englands nations league games.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a shirt as repulsive as this, but at least the right people are advertising it (albeit with the wrong hashtags)...

Myself and a few city lads (Cole Skuse included) had to wear these as our away kit when playing for Yate Utd at u9s/10s age group, all because we had Ian Alexander as our manager

Looked a foul by Wells before that. 

Looked to me like their player went for shoulder barge/block on wells who saw it coming so kinda stopped running, which made their player go too far past wells who then side stepped him with an arm on his shoulder to ease past him. If that’s being given as a foul then there is no hope for the game

Yep, two really sloppy moments today, selling Atkinson short with an awful cross pitch ball and then almost selling Bents short in the box with another casual poor ball. He simply has to cut those silly errors out, or (like at Blackpool and home v Sunderland) it will cost us more goals.

I know football is full of ifs and buts. However if these two mistakes didn’t happen we’d be sat joint top at this early stage, which just goes to show how a couple of unfortunate goals/mistakes do happen every few games that cost points then over a season it adds up to a lot of lost points.

Evening all!   Let's hope they can keep the run going with a win tonight, once again I think it will be a very close game. I'm looking for a couple of goals win, hopefully one from Wells and one from Semenyo after he comes on around the 70th minute.  Anyway, best of luck boy's, Come On You Red's.

I hope you put a fiver on that  

They need to make refs come out an explain their big decisions after games. If seen some shockers over the years but that “penalty” is right up there with the worst of the worst. 

Any last minute mates rates codes going? Only just found out I’m able to go to Saturdays game. 
 

thanks

This is demonstrably brilliant.

There were rumours, with tickets on sale at 10:30 and Yate being on the way to Solihull, where Yeovil play today, that Yeovil fans were planning on stopping off at Lodge Road to buy tickets.

So in order to buy tickets, people had to show up with proof of a BS37 postcode…or answer general knowledge questions about Yate!

 

There was a bloke checking driving licenses for address I was fine as I have a bs37 address 

I picked up 4 this morning, it will defo sell out if not by the end of today then tomorrow morning. If you’re not local to Yate then they are quizzing people to see if they know stuff about the town
