So weird, I went to Forest green Saturday and Walsall looked really comfortable and solid and you hit 5 past them already! 

They looked pretty good for 20 mins then been blown away. Just under 10,000 inc from 200 Wallsall not bad for a Tuesday evening 

Let's make it a Robins double as we're winning 5-0

Indeed, more lije the old lights at Eastville if anything.

Did they take the small stand over to the Mem

There's something magical about seeing old style floodlights lighting up the skyline from afar as you make your way to the ground.

A really good turn out by city fans yesterday consider many travel from Somerset etc. Boro fans done well to even complete the journey as some Swindon fans travelling to Carlisle by train only got as far as Wigan as services onwards were cancelled.

A familiar name to many of us from his Swindon and Oxford days. Has passed at age 50. No other details confirmed that I can find. RIP.

Putting rivalries aside such a sad loss and condolences to his family and hope all STFC pay their respects with a minutes silence/applause at our next home game. 

Good crowd today considering the last 24 hours etc and when you're on it you can match most teams in the division.

Never seen faggots in Devon Savouries (unless it was the customers?) and I supplied them for years!

I'm going back to the late 70's tho

Kids today haven't lived.

Tuesdays (in the days when certain meat products arrived only on specific days) cycling home from school my mission was to pick up the faggot ingredients from the excellent butchers in West Street. All random sorts of offal plus the caul in which to wrap them. Into the hand grinder at home, wrapped as parcels and steaming hot for supper hours later with mushy peas.

Chitterlings, of course, were Thursdays from the pork butcher in North Street.

You can stick your quorn where the sun don't shine.

Good post, my memories go back to my parents buying them from Devon Savouries in the late 70's along with a cheeky hot sausage roll to eat on the way home!

Went for the mash, gravy and broad bean option which probably didn`t help the flatulence situation.

You need a but plug

You enjoy a faggot

Loved Wayne Allison as he was a true gent on and off the pitch when he played for us.

Alright no need to really put the boot in while we're down, wow

Bearing in mind your two leagues above us

Having watched the highlights you remind me a little like us often in control of games, playing some good stuff then switch off at the back which is surprising considering that should be Pearsons strength.

Wembley last summer for the final was bad . Two Leeds fans in there 60 ,s said it was as bad as anything they have seen at Leeds in there 50 years of going …. Now that’s saying something 

That Italy was absolutely crazy and definitely caught the police off guard.

Pezo nailed it with the list of possible reasons for this upsurge in incidents plus Cocaine is more widely available now as it’s ever been, young uns have more money nowadays to throw at football and the casual scene . It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better in my opinion . 
 

Yes spot on with your assessment. Cocaine is beoming a huge problem and younger men living at home longer giving them more disposable income is no doubts contributing to the rise in violence at games.

Sadly This behaviour is not just confined to Bristol City. It’s massively on the rise nationally , huge increases in arrests and anti social behaviour at football across the UK including drugs , pyrotechnics etc. 

I can see the return of restrictions again for games at Cardiff and Swansea coming in the near future. Reduced ticket allocation, RV points. 
 

I was present yesterday and went by car so didn’t witness anything until after the game when coming out Swansea fans were allowed to goad us whilst filming and waiting for a reaction. Once on the dual carriageway heading back to park and ride it was going off on a side street by a pizzeria. Plenty of police running to intervene .

Football violence is defiantly on the increase this season and we've also noticed a new mob of nutters that regularly cause trouble at away games. Just when we hand lwft the dark ages behind!

Anyone with eon whose fixed tariff ends this month

For those of you who haven't seen this video make your own judgment.

it seems a fair honest assessment of the game rather than damning but the poor bloke is in exactly the same position as a year ago when he threatened to get rid of players who lacked commitment.

swindon crowds have been good this season , stockport top of the conference had 10000 in the week !

The National league looks really strong this season and Stockport are putting money bags Wrexham to shame.

That’s ******* awful 

We had over 9000 and I would imagine Mansfield brought more than the 130 Scunthorpe did!

I mean he is right, but as I understand the rules right now in England, if you test positive you should still be self isolating. You could as much say ‘should not enter Swindon’.

You're always welcome here you know that

He has quickly been banned for life by Leicester, can see him doing a bit of time for that, what a knob, he's going to regret that in the morning.
