Calm down I'm sure you'll get a seat.....

I'm very calm and not in the least bit surprised.

Also not concerned about getting a ticket.I expect that there will be over 15000 to choose from on the day.

Luis Leon Sanchez is out, So whatever lead-out his team might offer is reduced. Cav's going to have jump onto other lead outs if he's going to get that elusive win.

From Cycling news: "Although Sánchez was classified in last place on the stage, it immediately seemed unlikely that he would be able to continue in the Tour, and later in the evening his Astana-Qazaqstan team confirmed that he had broken his collarbone and would return home to Spain for an operation."

Just tried logging on to the Bristol Sport Ticket site and it's loading up as "Seat Geek" and saying they're offline for maintenance.

Anyone else getting this?

Not on sale until 10.00 as per club site info

If there is an app I guess it will be loaded to that, failing that it’ll be just like previous years where you buy it and either download it on to your phone, this is what I did for the FA cup last season, or print it. 

You're probably right, just a bit of a puzzle how it works for my grandson. Oh well it  will no doubt be sorted and working perfectly

There's probably an answer to this somewhere, but I can't recall seeing it. 

What will be the process for cup games?

I have a season ticket and am thinking of bringing my 10 year old grandson to the Oxford game. Obviously I will be paying for the tickets. Is there any info on how this will work for bringing kids to cup games?

My stuff finally arrived today, can’t help but think it was as a result of my email. . .

Glad to hear that.

I sent them an email as well. Had a prompt reply today saying that I should receive my two items next week

Re. Bert Tann (the real one), he used to live in Frenchay, and I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife one day.

I recounted the story on here some time ago, but suffice to say they were an absolutely adorable couple.

Grange Park Frenchay, I  believe, and his daughter went to Chipping Sodbury Grammar School.

Thank you, I might ring them next week as I’d like the Father’s Day card in time obviously! 

Keep us posted please. I also ordered a boot bag and bottle for my grandson around the same time as you placed your order.

No conformation email, though it was showing on my rewards page that I had traded my points for these items. Now, of course, the rewards page has gone!

Absolutely magical sprint finish. G working for Cav who smashed it.

Brilliant, and makes up for yesterday's disappointment.

Indeed, I'm gutted. But he lost time to the better rider on the day. Not sure how he might have put more time into Roglic on any of the previous stages. It was a great performance from G. Just not quite good enough.

Good result to end the season on. We played some decent passing football as well

We have made exceptions before in Nige's time, they might also consider that they can improve Joe by playing him in a slightly different role. If we get him on a "free" (no such thing in reality) then value for money whilst here would be looked at in place of sell on value.

I think it would be a good addition to the squad and I don't imagine Tins would give too much away to the Senior Reds, unless he thought we wouldn't remember any of it because of our age!

Tins also said we will only be recruiting players who we can improve to add value and, potentially, sell on, so this surely rules Bryan out?

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to shatter the hopes of many on here .

But who knows, Tins and NP may be making an exception if Joe actually is coming back.

He's the guest speaker at this month's Senior Reds luncheon.

Is this likely? Surely his wages are way out of our league?

I very much doubt it. Tins said at Senior Reds that we wouldn't be looking for another GK.

I also noted when asked of his favourite memories he reeled off the ones we all would, but didn’t mention the double/title winning season at all. 

I noticed that and thought it was pretty poor of him. He seemed to take great delight in the celebrations at the time at achieving the double, in what was a fantastic season.

Paraphrased - I don’t get why the fans are critical of Mark he does a good job at the EFL.

Perhaps he should’ve looked at the job he did here!

SL seems to blame the pandemic for the financial situation we were in rather than profligate spending under Ashton and Johnson.

Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield. although Viv Stanshall does speak to name few instruments.

Araoye (LCB)

Knight-Lebel (RCB) maybe one more season away, but you never know

Palmer-Houlden (CF)

Plus Morrison (Left Side anywhere it seems), Wood (LB/LCB), Thomas (CF) and Leeson (RB) have been on the bench, whilst Low (CB), Idehen (CB), Francois (CF) have made brief appearances.

I see Taylor-Clarke as part of the first team group now.

You are way more knowledgeable than me regarding the academy players, but I do recognise that he mentioned several of the names you list. If we can continue to help youngsters to break into the first team in the way we have this season then the future looks promising.

One other point is that he said we now have a firm wage structure which we will stick to and won't be changed and said that we already pay more than clubs such as Millwall, Luton, Coventry and PNE who are in and around the playoffs. There will be no wasteful spending sprees like we saw a few years ago by you know who.

He couldn't bring himself to mention Ashton's name

Thanks for that, was going to ask how it went.

As you say, sounds like Tins didn't give much away.

Still think 3 or 4 in sounds light, unless we make use of the loan system (which sounds unlikely). 

I very much got the impression that Tins thought some more academy players might be being considered ready for the first team next season at some point. Which would obviously add to the ones that are likely to be brought in.
