East Londoner

According to the sun (so it must be true) ourselves Derby and Reading were also in the meeting

He was on itv London news a couple of days ago so he’d be very stupid if he flew there in the last couple of days and certainly no expert

What they forget was they were in a false position when they were 4th so this is just the football gods way of restoring balance

It would be hilarious if Leeds were denied promotion this way

Because you can pack it up at the end of the day?

Not just as a mark of respect/gratitude but so those too young to be aware can ask why there is a stand named after them and that keeps the story alive

There’s probably an inconvenient truth to a lot of that, i must admit i found it strange that players that were first division players only two years before were unable to significantly lengthen their careers after their contracts were torn up Saying that there should be something from the club to mark the event, not just to the Ashton Gate 8 but also the directors who helped save the club, i must admit i was a little disappointed the Lansdown Stand didn’t remain the Williams Stand. So either a statue or if we ever open a museum at the ground a fitting exhibit so those who sacrificed and worked for our survival are recognised and remembered But no i don’t think the club should comment every year..

Must be nice being that bitter and deluded at the same time, some people need to get out more

Just like their disappearing fans the thread asking where they’ve gone has disappeared from gaschat. Obviously a case of if we delete it then it never happened

Tbf that was city fans supporting Liam Walsh on his debut ?

I see Adriano Basso was Bury’s goalkeeper coach so obviously thoughts with the players and staff who’ve lost their livelihood through no fault of their own

I don’t mean revelling in others misfortune but knowing there’s now a greater chance of staying up

Tbh if we were in their position we’d do the same but shows they’re looking down rather than up in their division despite being the sixth richest club and all that

Whilst it may be too late for Bolton and possibly Bury the authorities need to get their act together to stop these situations happening, imposing a salary cap for example and ensuring there aren’t any ridiculous loopholes Also i’d like to see some sort of levy imposed as sort of a membership fee of the top 4 divisions. If 1% of turnover and tv money went into a centrally managed fund this could go towards grassroots as well as issuing grants to make it more of a level playing field. If clubs refuse to pay this fee then they should be kicked out of the league and it’s only really the top 6 clubs who’d threaten to break away if this happened

Or have the money...

1450 of them made the trip, so not quite what we took last weekend

Most of the theories so far have been of pilot error so in a strange way this would come as a small relief to the pilots family

Meanwhile over at Bolton bassini is challenging the preferred bidder to take them out of administration, definitely several sandwiches short of a picnic that one

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/02/17/cardiff-city-may-sue-nantes-negligence-pilot-emiliano-sala-crash/ Looks like Cardiff are now looking at ways of getting out of paying the transfer fee now, all very ironic given the criticism they have Nantes for starting legal action to get their first instalment All getting very nasty and no sides here are coming out with any credit

I remember a Cambridge away game where that was sung as well as ‘if you’ve all shagged Devon’s missus clap your hands’ tbf to him Devon clapped to that one too

It's all our fault apparently....theres something very familiar about all this

I took my vietnamese flatmate to this as seeing an english football match was on his bucket list, within 20 minutes he was singing along and now wants to go again so if we ever get a Vietnamese branch of the supporters club i'll take full credit
