Singing section 

I might be wrong but I feel especially under Johnson he was never given a consistent run in the team to prove himself. The one time he was given a few games run are fans were raving about how good he was but then he got injured away at hull.

The abuse he got from our fans when he joined Cardiff certainly would of been enough inspiration for him but it’s still early days so we’ll have to wait and see how he keeps going .

Weston and Burnley may take more fans but do they get @Never to the dark side pictures? 

If Weston get more away fans than us that’s poor .

Has to try 4 at the back.

O Leary

Tanner

Klose

Towler

Pring

 

Wilson

King

Massengo

Sykes

 

Conway

Wells

Would like to see that but would probably try kadji over massengo. It would be interesting to see how wells and Conway would get on together I think wells would be great for us in a front two instead of on his own or played out wide .

You go to away grounds with a bit of edge - the Old Den, Molyneux etc and it really is a 12th man. Work takes me around the country and everyone speaks of Bristol City as being a “quiet lot”. Why is it?

Sure the new AG ground is relatively crap for atmosphere but why? One of my views is that there are a lot of “happy clapper/tourist City fans” nowadays, but ST sales are still good? Many go every home game.

The club lacks a bit of passion IMO and that translates through the team at times. Funny old game.

It’s because our louder fans are shoved out the way in a small corner whilst the away fans get a whole end behind the goal . 
 

It was the same when our fans were in the atyeo not long ago yet again we were only given a small portion of the stand . It won’t change until section 82 has a whole end behind a goal but the clubs to soft and cosy to allow it to happen .

You would worry about our defence against the Watford front line.

Could it be worse than last time against them ? 

Lansdowns on sounds of the city tonight for those of you interested

Am I being stupid? I’m sat here trying to work out who JP is, who managed 58 games?? 
The only JP I can think of is John Pemberton, but he certainly didn’t manage us for 58 games? 

Maybe joe palmer from 1919 to 1921

I was thinking the other about other clubs who have had very mixed ups and downs in the time SL has been at the club. 

As fans would we be happy if city had a similar recent history to the likes of Bolton, Wigan, maybe Bradford, Blackpool etc who have been in the Premiership, won the FA Cup like Wigan, had a season in Europe like a couple of them but then collapsed and on the brink while we've been fairly stable in the 2 leagues? 

That’s a good question but honestly it looks like if things aren’t sorted we could be heading to league one anyway so would of been nice to have at least a year of prem football before we go back . 
 

The thought of being on the brink like derby and Blackpool isn’t a nice one but I think the reality is that if we stay under the lansdowns ownership both of those will be at least challenging for prem football before we ever do .

For a good comparison of how badly we’ve been run the year we got promoted to the champ and had a promising squad with what looked like great momentum  luton had just got promoted from the conference and even they have had a crack in the play offs .

There’s always gonna be a risk with foreign buyers (as well as with British) but I’d honesty be looking forward to it . Lansdowns been in charge for just over quarter  of a century and the amount of clubs smaller than us or the same size as us that have had some recognisable success is criminal.

As some say he might want what’s best for the club but he seems totally oblivious in actually moving the club forward. You can build as many shiny new stands as you like but it’s gonna mean absolutely nothing when we drop back down to league one but at least it looks good for concerts and the egg chasers .

Norwich have been much the better team but fair play to Wigan taking their chance . Wigan missed a one on one not long before the goal as well .

Any one go to the soul less  bowl at Coventry , been a few times and City out sung the home end . what a surprise last visit when home fans in a corner did not let city fans get a song out all game .

How do we get that ,  Guess we need to start winning and not leting late goals in  

Completely different though as that corner at Coventry holds thousands and it expands into the side stand . The corner at Ashton gate is tiny in comparison.

So it's the 5m wide gap between the Dolman and Atyeo that's the problem?

?

1 minute ago, IAmNick said:

I'm confused by your list. Why for example are Hull on there? Just because of that little bit in the corner, next to the away fans are behind the goal?

Is that so different to what our fans have?

I said behind the goal or a section next to away fans .

no we don’t its not an end like section 82 with louder fans what can’t you seem to grasp 

And they were drowned out in the atyeo because yet again our fans were given a poxy little corner .

We have an end behind the goal, or do I imagine the South Stand,

All putting the signers next to the away fans I  the atyeo did was drown out the singers

no we don’t its not an end like section 82 with louder fans what can’t you seem to grasp

Is it because a small number of them behave like total Richardheads? Flares, bottles etc - it needs to stop and when it does maybe restrictions might relax.

Reading through this some still don't seem to get the basic truth - using flares in a football ground isn't allowed. Simple.

Absolute rubbish the problems we have are minuscule compared to all the northern club and a lot of London club .

“an unreserved stand like what pretty much every other club” Please name clubs that have all seater stadiums and do this? 

All these clubs have either an end behind the goal or next to the away fans like section 82 where your ticket has a seat number but you can stand where you like .

Thats just prem and champ but again please try justify why our louder fans should be shoved out the way in the corner while always fans have a whole end

They are talking about the atyeo, when it was the home end, people complained that they can never make an atmosphere there because the acoustics were poor now all of a sudden its better then anyother part of the ground,

City fans just aren't that great at creating an atmosphere unless they are winning or giving 110% its been that way since the mid 90"s

Like I said when our loud fans were in the atyeo they only had the corner of it not the whole stand . If the club gave the whole atyeo as an unreserved stand like what pretty much every other club has we would be able to make an atmosphere.

For many years prior to the rebuild, we had the whole end and moans about the atmosphere

No we didn’t we had the east end which was half the stand . The atyeo wasn’t unreserved it was basically a family stand .

I remember the complaints when we had the Atyeo about the acoustics being terrible, now many complain that they want the Atyeo for its acoustics.

That’s because when city had the atyeo they only had a poxy little corner of it just like in the south stand now . If City had an unreserved end behind the goal ( like nearly every other club) we wouldn’t be moaning about how poor the atmosphere is .

It will be the first time that I have managed to get to Ashton Gate for 7 odd years.  The previous two were against Walsall at the end of the promotion season and the Warnock Crystal Palace game in 2009.

Based on that history it should be a great game!

Your in for a shock once you walk out of the concourse then .

Sorry but the South stand IS all City, so is the whole Dolman and Lansdown.

Don't understand your point....

Palace fans pretty much have the whole end behind the goal to stand and make some noise and whilst our louder fans are tucked away in a little corner stopping any decent atmosphere from being creative.
