Bristol is now (according to the Post) the most expensive place to live outside of London in the whole UK. So good luck! 

As usual Southville/Bishopston etc tend to be the go-to places but the property prices are still pretty eyewatering even now. If you do choose to live further away, you can console yourself that Marvin is building an underground soon, so travelling around will be a piece of piss. 

Found this out first hand. After 2 years of renting our 3 bed in Shirehampton, we were asked to find an extra £500pm. The rent was £1,000pm when we moved in. 

There wasn't a single 3 bed in Bristol within our rental budget of £1,250pm. Even if you stretch the budget a little, you get some results but the quality is shocking. Had to sacrifice location and jump to Wales in the end.

This sort of parking charge is becoming a pain. Kids had a session at Goals this weekend, yet it wasn’t mentioned anywhere about the need to enter your reg at reception - luckily a parent pre warned the group chat.

Sommerdale is the same. 

Nightmare. May I ask which Goals? 

I play at Bris once a week. Started up again 3 weeks ago so I would love to know if I've got a few fines on the way!

There were at least 4 shouts Sunday, a couple subjective but a couple I thought were clear cut - the one on Atkinson? Where he was wiped out in the box, and the other was on Semenyo I think.

Watching it on holiday with a Leeds supporting friend and he said the same thing 

I think that's what frustrates me most. Other clubs will get their fair share of penalties that are subjective/questionable over the course of a season, we can't even get the stone wall ones.

No - it wasn't the San Carlo (which is good) it seems to be relatively new - perhaps a chain of some type. Further down the road than San's

Potentially Franco Manca?

Just like that Mercedes season is over 

Feels like it's going to destroy the whole season as Ferrari were at least close to matching the pace of the RB with their bouncing but surely won't touch them if they have to raise the ride height. Unless these teams suddenly find a way to resolve it, it could be a very boring season. 

Small crumb of comfort is that at least after Canada, we go to a few actual racetracks rather than street circuits where the bouncing seems to be contained. 

Such sad news. A real gent. 

There was a spell around 8/9 years ago where I was going to the gate on my own and I'd usually go into what's now the Rising Sun for a drink beforehand. Without knowing the man personally beforehand, Tinners would always come over and have a 5/10 minute chat as I propped up at a table somewhere. I was going through such a tough patch at the time and i'd go as far as saying that without those little chats, I wouldn't be sure that I'd have continued to take myself down to the football. 

RIP Tinners

Imagine the uproar if they were only given 700 tickets like they've given Swindon

I feel like they'd have been ok with it. Would've been another sold out away game and provided them a reason to spout how they would've travelled in their thousands if only they were granted the allocation.

Had a good night at Bar44 in Clifton, not the cheapest but great Tapas style food.

We went for a Sunday lunch there on the weekend and it was fantastic. Too often I feel like I get scammed with Sunday lunches but it was certainly not the case there.

This is why they bring it upon themselves......

They will argue blind that they are not obsessed with us (it's the other way around) and they don't constantly check the City score or sing about us when they have 2 seconds of joy.

A timely reminder is required of why this thread continues to thrive...….

 

 

 

Case and point when that Villa fan who goes around vlogging did a video at the Mem. The guy wasn't even a neutral either as he had previous for having a bit of a pop at us in his videos, even mentioned Rovers as a better club at one point to wind us up. 

Took him one trip to the Mem to realise how wrong he really was. Some of them even tried to claim none of the stuff in his video actually happened at one point, laughable.

See, my mind immediately turned to where they were in non league but even then, I believe Bath knocked them out of the FA Trophy. 
 

Did a non league team beat them in the FA cup in their first season as a league club?

Yep same here, a lot of City fans in that Bath team too including both goalscorers. Chas first and Frankie who used to be on our books. Bet they had a good night after that!

Am I the only one bored shitless by this constant, played to death already piss-taking and sniping about travelling numbers?  Its pointless, boring, playground like, and means **** all, WTF is there to boast about having better travelling numbers than, lets face it, pretty much irrelevant neighbours.?  It getting almost embarrassing on our part now, childlike 'banter'.

Lets stick to the genuinely amusing banter created by their own habit of providing us with regular gifts that keep on giving... It wont be long before they give us something out of the blue that is really worth commenting on.

Do we really give a shit how many of 'em pile into their minibuses for trips up and down the frigging motorways?, we've laughed at ridiculous claims from some of them around being superfans …. To be honest I really couldn't give a shit if they actually did have numbers rivalling ours.. It is a shit topic.

Keep an eye out for their next 'gift' though, something worth responding to will be along soon, sure as day follows night.

COYR's

(PS, I know loads of what I post must bug many of you big time, but if I'm allowed one more moan for now, can I say how much the overuse of the word 'DELUDED' really, really, bugs the shite out of me, f'ing deluded this, deluded that … argggh! )

I've been off the radar a little so I'm sure this gift was picked up at the original article date of 12th December but they had quite a funny reminder yesterday. Since they can no longer pass tickets through the fence, they're saving the pennies through purchasing Junior tickets instead. 

The club has become increasingly aware of reports of adult supporters entering the stadium on Junior tickets.

Numerous reports over the past few games have been made of adult supporters gaining access to the stadium on concession tickets. This act, not only represents a breach of ground regulations but also has a negative effect on the clubs finances and the majority of law-abiding supporters that pay their way.

For the match with Peterborough and moving forward, there will be increased checks on supporters tickets to ensure that supporters are using a ticket within the correct age band. Any supporters not in the correct bracket will be removed from the stadium.

We urge all supporters to think twice before engaging in such fraudulent activity as this really does have a negative impact on the club. We would also like to thank the majority of supporters for their unwavering support and understanding.

PS, what's a "Kazzam"? Is that how we can tell it's one of their fans?

One of those rare occasions where even the auto correct can't even save you. 

In the reverse fixture, from kick-off they booted the ball straight out of play. Last night, they did exactly the same. 

Normally, you'd think this was some kind of tactic or that they're all having a bet on throw-ins. With that lot, based on what I watched last night, it seems they really are just that bad. 

First time I've watched them play for god knows how long. You can certainly see why they earn so many penalties and opposition red cards.

Standard is atrocious. 

They've got the keeper wasting time 30 minutes into a game against Bromley. Wow.

They just can’t help themselves, he says that they (City) get over 15,000 (its actually over 20,000) and Rovers get under 10,000 (it’s actually under 8,000) so the gap is actually 12,000 on an average home game, not 5,000 as implied in order to give the impression that there’s not much in it

Over 15,000 .

They're right to be fair - we get their entire home attendance over 15,000!

It's a sad indictment to today's society when a story like this makes national news headlines.

Colleen Rooney is as shallow as they come, what normal wife would put up with their husband shagging prostitutes, caught drunk driving another woman's car to her place and taking another woman to his hotel room in another country and that's just what he's been caught doing. She's only stayed with him for the money and to stay in the limelight.

 

Whilst it's all a bit silly, I've actually quite enjoyed a refreshing laugh at the news for a change.- It normally just fills me with rage. 

There's the token soft penalty. Red card pending...

Cockman has well and truly learnt how Gaslogic works now, especially the Sag way of ‘make up some bullshit, say it enough times then it becomes fact’

Absolute weapon

 

Taken from BP....

The club have put a warning out to fans to behave and not throw anything on the pitch, would you have a message for the fans to stick to those rules and not go over the top venting their frustrations to the player?

"No. Listen I can’t control what the fans do or say as you all know.

"I am pleased they will be venting their frustration and anger at someone else and not me. (he joked). That is relatively positive for me.

"As for the fans, there are some people, and not all our fans, the majority of our fans represent this club impeccably. The majority of our fans are a different class. I can’t tell the fans what to do, what to say, what to write or how to conduct themselves, that is up to them.

"No one will run our fans down when I am present because our fans are different class.

"The majority of the fans behave themselves and travel in numbers up and down the country and behave themselves, home and away. They behave impeccably. I have nothing but praise for our fans. I don’t where, or who is suggesting our fans misbehave or will misbehave because I haven’t seen that yet.

They want constant reassurance don't they?

Taylor gave an interview in the Oxford Mail explaining the move to us, including that he enjoyed his time at Rovers, had an amazing time but felt it was the best time to further his career when leaving. No bad words about them. 

However, it appears that he didn't mention that they had 'special' fans nor rule out celebrating (without being asked) and they're kicking off about it, calling him stupid/dumb etc. It's actually embarrassing.

As far as I'm aware, he's never said a bad word about them, clearly appreciated the time there and moved on to better himself. I was asked by one of the Rovers lads who goes down the pub how I'd feel if it happened the other way around. The closest comparison I could draw was the lads moving over to Cardiff and I'll certainly be giving each of them (Tomlin aside) an applause when they return and they only got us one promotion... MT had a pivotal role in getting those lot two. 

As much as I'd love to see him do an Adebayor when he scores today, a little part of me wants him to refuse to celebrate if they are giving him stick all day - I think that would bug them even more. What story could they make out of that?

They’re proper gash aren’t they, this is their best play of the year..

 

Yep, proper gash.

Ball in the air, players on the floor. 

They're even kicking off that Radio Bristol had 4 City callers for each Gashead. 

Who'd have thought that a team with 4 times as many fans have 4 times as many people calling in?
