I hope that someone from our forum goes onto their forum and suggests that City will support their new manager in buying their best players and just leave them with the dregs. We already seem to have done this in the past and the manager would know who to buy.  They might find some repose by contemplating this....

They have already got their revenge..... Sent us bloody Mark Ashton...

In the 80s, we had the magic sponge.

Need to turn the stadium upside down and find it again.

The Kung Fu kick was ridiculous. 

It's certainly like watching a completely different sport to nowadays.

Maybe the haters will understand his worth when they see Cornick lead the attack instead.

You do realise that is the quote of a hater??

Taking pre emptive action merely protects their interests.

By way of an comparison, a friend of mine runs a business in the docks in Bristol, adjacent to him was a derilict site that was then bought and developed into an intensive residential development, they (developers) then started campaigning to have his business closed in advance of selling the units, despite him being there for some years -  fortunately the council told them to eff off.

remember the hoo haa over the flats near the Fleece and Firkin - again, a development attempting to close an established business because of potential noise concerns - even though they knew that 'noise' existed before building was started.

It's all part of the useless planning system i'm afraid. it seems now pre emptive action is part and parcel of strategies to block what might become a threatening development. (if residents do complain)

clearer advice and legal positions need to be established.

I'm surprised this wasn't signed off in advance, and as some have pointed out, is this a reactive grievance to something thats happened recently. (lost contracts)

"I have just bought a house near the airport. The noise coming from the planes is unacceptable and I will be writing to the council to demand the airport is closed down"

If we had a council who threw these sort of demands out from the outset, we will have more businesses needing to object to building anything.

Meanwhile, the last iconic build in Bristol remains the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Queuing to get through the turnstiles, paying for dried out pies, unable to hear anything over the substandard tannoy and not able to buy a pint in the concourse at half time is all very well. Meanwhile my dodgy feed from Al-Shite.com went down and I couldn't watch the match on the laptop I bought off a bloke down the pub. 

Utter farce, this club is a joke. I have written to the chairman today to claim compensation - I strongly suggest any other loyal fans who couldn't get their dodgy feeds to work do the same.

It would be great if we could all join in a rousing club anthem that fully encapsulates our history, is unique and will become instantly recognisable as Bristol City.

Now, who's club anthem shall we nick?

Give WBA 3500 and attendance will prob be 23 / 24000. Limit them to 2000 and gate will drop by 1500. Its simple economics and that's what SL cares about. 

Every poster on here who is demanding new signings and contracts should also care. To spend, you need to generate.

Even better if it is another club who is paying.

As for the importance of where our fans are sat, let's get the crowd staying to the end and not focussed on paper planes first.... 

The clearest message of the crowd's boredom with our style of play came in the shape of the excited mirth of paper planes launched toward the pitch.

Next up, it will be the bloody Mexican Wave....

Problem I have with professional footballers is that they know that fans aren’t allowed on the pitch so they are protected somewhat so take liberties. He wouldn’t have acted like such an ass if on the street…

So, just so I am clear.... Bristol City have given access to meet the players at a time that is popular and accessible for most young supporters and have done so for free.

At a rough guess, 91 other football clubs have not run such an event (or have done so on another continent).

Let's hope refunds are issued quickly and we follow the model other clubs have. The sooner this community spirit pif pof is put to the sword, the better.

Why does everyone put Hull above every season. Others I can take, but bloody Hull?!?

Completely agree.  City as a Championship club with a 26.5k max attendance isn’t a sexy invest.  If we made it into the PL, it’s more sexy, even with limited revenues from the gate receipts.

Ashton Gate capacity is bigger than 6 of next season's 20 top flight grounds. Plus in a lot better condition than many others, including Old Trafford. And they sell cider.

A lot of players won’t uproot their family, especially a young family, for a one year deal (plus option).  Andi Weimann’s family are still back in Birmingham area for example.

And even more so for managers with an average job expectancy of less than 7 months.

But how annoying for Nige to still be in the job, renting a 1 bed over 2 years on.

Is the transfer window for trading fans open yet? Would defo like to see some early moves on that front.

Are Notts Forest a new breakaway team set up by fans disgruntled with the way the league team has been run? Though I may be getting confused with Nottingham County....

Just use as normal they never check. And colour of light in turn style is same no matter what age group ticket you have 

We're you one of the guys in the 1980s who used to hurdle the turnstile without paying?

Is that Tommy Doherty on the right?

And before anybody says anything, Tommy was a great player for us. Could have been even better if it weren't for the booze and fags!!

There is a great site called mysteryawaydays.co.uk.

 Just choose your budget and get a cheeky surprise. Flight, match tickets together and now I think they include hotel. 

You don't get to pick the match or location, but when is an away day ever bad, assuming it's not with City?
