Is it really though? He either was a Cardiff player or he wasnt? If he hadnt tragically died along with the pilot in that plane, would Cardiff have paid the money or would they had been holding out out they are now? That to me, paints the true picture.

How on earth are your hands tied by legal and insurence matters? You owe Nantes money, pay the money. Cardiff made out like he was a Cardiff player regardless of who booked what Plane cardiff acted like he was a Cardiff player so pay up. If he wasnt a Cardiff player why did you have all the fuss at your games, all the crying, Cardiff fans borrowing the bobby reid song and chanting youll always be a bluebird with me? He was either a cardiff player so you pay up, Or he wasnt a cardiff player which goes back to what was all the crying, forever a bluebird banners etc?

Taken from wiki. They loved them so much they stopped funding them and they would Have basically of gone bust. Bristol Rovers, now in the bottom division of The Football League, found themselves unable to continue financing a women's team in 2006 and withdrew funding. Bristol Academy of Sport agreed to bankroll the team for 12 months, but there were serious doubts during the 2006–07 season that the club would survive beyond the summer. ———————— it wasn’t until 7 years later that city got involved with funding them, how on earth that means we stole them in gas logic I will never understand.

How can nearly 4 times the amount of home fans, to away fans be only just?

Would you work for free for a year?

Am i the only one who is finding this under 18 not being able to play a bit insane? Some lads their age are working 50/60 hour weeks etc to provide for families.

Nice bit of sexism there, well done.

No but there has been comments by female members on otib about male footballers looks etc. Surely that’s the same thing?

Surely it’s ok for people to think someone’s attractive? Are you telling me no women see any male footballers and think they are attractive?

So on your logic, anyone north of the river should support rovers and not city? As that is their local football team?

Its county cricket though, not city cricket? So the county cricket club of Gloucestershire play in the county of Bristol, now whos the confused ones there? Yet people support them as they are the "local club", how does that make sense? Surely the county lines should be what is classed as local, not where the team plays? Otherwise surely MK Dons are still Wimbledon FC etc.

Somerset is a 2 minute drive from Ashton gate. How far is Gloucestershire? Support your local club.

Might aswell support rovers if you are supporting glos at cricket.

So all those years so it cost nearly £2mill, and they think now they could build that and a lansdown stand for 10 to 15 mill

On that note, does anyone know how much the Atyeo cost to rebuild in 1994? I cannot seem to find the data anywhere online.

Like you could build all of that for £10-15 million, they are so out of touch with modern football its crazy.

Poor people.

It is a big investment but it isn’t an obnormal purchase for a championship club to make, we are just a bit slow as a club to pay these kind of fees.

They are so withdrawn from reality of life in the higher leagues that they do not understand £8mill for a defender isn’t anything now days.

What you state there, what if it was a taxi driver? You call club cars, who send Darren a taxi driver who has shown them documentation for a Vauxhall Zafira with all the correct paperwork etc. When he turns up to pick you up, its not Darren but his mate who Darren has palmed the job off to who hasnt got a taxi licence or even insurance who's fault is that?

Have football banning orders been applied for?

The police wouldn’t even come if my house was broken into, let alone if someone put spray paint down the side of my house. What makes a football club different?

No I agree it is embarrassing and stupid, but there are a lot more important issues going on in Bristol for example. Jet wash out, clean it up, job done. Does it really need a police investigaton, or let them deal with more pressing issues? It Doesn’t need internet hysteria over it, go back 30 years no one would of known about it and everyone on here would have been a lot happier.

People are getting killed daily in this world and people are worrying about a bit of spray paint....

City pulled the funding for them, it must had been a period in mid 2000's when clubs stopped funding the womens game and now its got "popular" again. City found life at the top of the women's game difficult, and their stay in the National Division lasted for just a single season. They ended the 2004–05 campaign with just 9 points and were relegated straight back down to the Southern Division.[3] Two years later, in May 2007, Bristol City announced that they would no longer fund a women's team. The club moved to Bath and became part of the TeamBath group of sports team
