Anyone want to do a quick summary? Since this thread is quiet I’d imagine it was fairly run of the mill ?

Absolutely, we’re one light. Whatmough would fit the bill!

ACL’s are a nightmare pop. Hopefully Nige is talking worst case there but with the nature of the injury, it’s always a long road back ?

Love you Nogbad. These are great. I'll save it for when I have some downtime in work this week. ?

I think we aspire to be more impressively run than Coventry, what with their stadium and other off-field issues (doing well on it mind!). It's the silence that's annoying me regarding the away kit at this point. If the club just put out a statement to say 'we'll be releasing the away kit in September due to a delay and utilising the home and third shirt until then', that'd be absolutely fine. But the head-in-the-sand attitude to the kit issues is grating!

By all accounts, yes. I believe we’ll see him in August in fact, September at the latest.

I wouldn’t be amazed if Cornick or Mehmeti got the nod to start to be honest. More Cornick than Mehmeti actually - I think Bell starts. But it’s a good discussion to be having - competition for places and all that!

And with that, pre-season is done and dusted (barring an away kit I’m convinced the club are too scared to release!). Assuming no new injuries or returns, we should have all available to start against PNE barring: Injured: McCrorie Atkinson Naismith Benarous I think the keeper and back 4 picks itself, and the midfield may well be Scott, James, Knight. Front three harder to call with all the forwards staking a good claim this pre-season. I’m so happy football is back next weekend ? COYR! ?️?️

Anyone watching able to confirm no knocks today? All the subs sounded very much about rotating but I couldn’t watch today. Good win boys ?️

Some welcome returns to the squad for our final pre-season game. 1 week til the real stuff. The boredom is almost over! Injured: McCrorie Atkinson Naismith Benarous Take a 3-0 loss today with a clean bill of health!

Yea expect more stoppage time. On paper - a good thing for us as how often do teams shithouse us to insanity at Ashton Gate. But this is football, so I’m sure it’ll find a way to **** us over ?

I have a horrible feeling it's the above (or something similarly troubling) and fear of backlash/trying to make a late change is causing the delay.

Another night with no away kit. Issue with it or just City choosing to release later than others?

I thought Bristol sport made some nice enough stuff. My away kit from 19-20 is still in good nick now, 4 years on. I'm going to buy one of the kits this year as is my own little tradition, I'm still holding out hope the quality isn't quite as wanting as others suggest. The design for the home kit is actually quite nice, but granted, if it falls to pieces after two washes that won't really matter.

All good brother. Let’s smash Preston next week and we’ll all be feeling positive for the season ahead ?️

I think I’m generally pretty positive too! A bad day in work combined with (seemingly) a 4th injury in pre-season wound me up but I like to think Stevie has mischaracterised me a fair bit there ?

Yea that’s a relief. And a perfect example of the club being quick to keep us in the loop. Hopefully see Conway in the squad for Portsmouth now.

Bloody hell man who are you to talk to another poster like that? One of our star players went down without contact - always a red flag - so yea I’m miffed and disappointed. But that response? Good lord mate, reconsider how you discuss things.

Conway went down with no one around him before heading straight down the tunnel according to people at the game. Vyner also subbed late on, not sure why at this point, but I’ll leave him off the list for now. Conway goes on though, that’s an injury. Injured: Atkinson McCrorie Naismith Benarous Weimann Conway Good pre-season this. Let’s see who we lose Saturday.

Understand that and it would be very sensible to do exactly that (not take any risks on players with ‘niggles’). But a brief mention in a post match interview or a tweet of ‘Kal misses out tonight with a mild strain’ surely wouldn’t hurt. They’ve just stopped mentioning Naismith and McCrorie altogether. Any info I’ve been able to unearth has come from the Post up to now.

Austria cost us Naismith, the first pre-season fixtures cost us McCrorie and the fixtures after that seem to have cost us Weimann. And we still have two matches to play. Frustrating! Also frustrating is (to my knowledge) no comment from the club regarding any of the above. But City’s inability to talk to us of late is for another thread! Injured: Atkinson McCrorie Naismith Benarous Weimann No. More. Injuries. Before. Preston. And a return or two would be nice.

I hope it was dummy data as people have alluded to, but weren't the addresses real Bristol addresses? Correct me if I'm wrong but if you were just testing fields wouldn't you just go with 123 Lane Street. Just make shit up. Mr A. Man. I'd like some clarity from the club sooner rather than later really. All just a bit sad isn't it.

Really frustrating. It's quite disillusioning feeling so unimportant to an institution I put about a grand into every year. It's like they see us fans as a nuisance to deal with. We just want to be kept in the loop. They forget we as fans and supporters care more about this club than many of them as employees.

Ok, looks like it’s sorted (ish). Anyone in the industry of data or seen anything like this? Could this actually cause us big problems? No I’m no JL before anyone asks ?

God sake man. I assume banking details are mostly ‘**’? Ie we don’t all need to put our bank accounts on hold? Ruined the dog walk this.
