...... I can't help feeling that they represent all that is wrong with football with £150M + worth of talent sat on the bench. It's Monopoly money to them of course but in these days of recession, fuel bills and job losses elite football seems totally divorced from reality and the real world and with it in a small part my love for the beautiful game.

I see your point, but there are many, many clubs that feel the same level of disparity when they look enviously at our squad and facilities. 

I will take what we have got and be thankful for being born in the right part of Bristol - more so than ever after that performance

No, that kid ran on from the Williams stand, 

If he set off from the Williams Stand, he must have been a hell of a slow runner....

...Nige expressed his dissatisfaction with England (and indeed all other nations in the Arnold Clark cup) where we’d asked them not to use certain areas of the pitch to warm up in but they went ahead and did it anyway.    

I understand they ruined the urinals. Terrible mess.

Class defender. As a bonus, impressive he is the last Bristol City player to score for England.

When their fans started singing “Your support is ####ing shit” a few lads around us replied with “Your support is ####ing fake” 

 

Liked their yellow submarine FFP song...

We're going down with a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank...

He lives just outside Nailsea.

A lot of fans know exactly where he is staying, which is always worrying in the event things turn nasty, and someone decides to go up there and cross a line.

However, things are the complete opposite of that. I am heading up there later to anonymously mow his lawn and wash his car.

Bit like Augusta where they paint out some divots with green paint!

If you were referring to Tiger Woods in 2019, that wasn't paint, it was the winner's blazer.

I have nearly finished my belter.... Just need some help please..... Does anyone have a word that rhymes with "ACL"?

Welcome to the premiership , along with £50-£60 tickets , kick off times all over the place & minimal away allocations ,fair weather fans . Funny thing how much we all slag the premiership it’s the so called promised land .

 

I don't understand why people go for half and half scarves.

I also don't understand why people go on about the Premiership, something that exists in Scotland and in Rugby. We can't qualify for either.

Why do we need to show tickets in the carpark at Winterstoke Road end?

The place for checking tickets is at entry gates and the stairs to each block.

I was told the walkway round the stadium is a public right of way when matches are not on and the stadium has no liability for this. When matches are on, the stadium is judged to have full liability for personal injury, trips falls etc.

Ticket holders are covered by the stadiums public liability insurance, non ticket holders are not.

It's another sorry side effect of the 'where there is blame, there is a claim' culture.

So they watch what seat you go to after they’ve checked your ticket do they?

They don't need to if you hold a ticket for the block you are entering. That is sufficient.

It's not really a life threatening assault on your human rights. Simply someone on minimum wage doing their best to try to ensure you don't have to deal with a bunch occupying the seats you have bought with your mates.

Literally the point of reserved seating. Along with the option for unreserved seating in S82 for those that want it.

Not sure why the need to give verbals to our own stewards when they are trying to make sure you dont find someone else in your seat.

Why wait until the 95th minute to look to score a second goal. What is wrong with utilising the previous 94?

So..... Who would you rather:

1) a media team that is typo free and cunningly accurate.

2) a media team behind everything from original goal gifs, behind the scenes Robins uncut, signings on the roof, doors and wheels etc 

I vote to stick not twist.

Isn't the Premiership what they play for in Rugby?

the biggest restrictions are the stewards that stand in front of you at the top of the steps.

They dont realise they are doing it until someone shouts "get out of the way" and then

they sheepishly move.   Other than that no problem.

At least the stewards move. I was yelling at the lino to get out of the way for ages on Saturday. Selfish git didn't shift for me...

Please don't rest Scott - we only have 8 more home games to enjoy him.

Trouble is the pool of refs for our games is limited to the crap ones who are still signed up to the "no penalties for Bristol City" gambling consortium.

You got this wrong. 

Dad "Look son, you got your free shirt with your cheap season ticket, now run on and get me Scott's so I can wack it on eBay and get a few quid"

You got this wrong.

Dad "Look son, go get me a shirt off Scott, I will see you in the car park. Gunna get me a Merc off Nakhi..."

"Dad - please will you buy me a shirt from the City shop??"

"No chance Junior, hop over that barrier, sprint on and ask that Vyner bloke for one..."

Never mind the facts and the clear instructions, this club is a farce and a joke.

I am outraged, and just because I was able to secure my normal seat inside of 30 seconds doesn't get anyone off the hook.

Sack the manager / the board / the owner / the tea lady.

There is definitely a good relationship between the two of them.

There is a good relationship with anyone after a win.... I was even nice to the Missus this weekend before I passed out on the sofa in my pants and vest.

If the club are taking requests, any chance of a bit of PornHub on the big screens (sound off obviously)
