I didn't know they were Liverpool fans

I didn't see any trouble in the ground but walking out - across some rough ground and onto the road I was behind 3 City fans ( not yobs) aged in their 30's and a young kiddy about 16 ran out out of the shadows and smashed a brick into the back of one of the guy's head and just ran off into the dark down a side street. One of the most senseless and cowardly acts I've seen in 50 years of attending matches.

I was at that game too, Gerry Sweeney equalised I think in the last few minutes to get the valuable point in our promotion season. Glad to have visited & seen those huge terraces but by then they were crumbling.

Thanks for the update. Is Aaron Wilbraham still with you or has he gone as well. It sounds not to different to how he left us. He fell out with the Owner over transfers ( one of the suits tried to renegotiate a couple of deals Steve had arranged before going on holiday and that resulted in the deals falling through) Steve and the owner didn't speak after that and he was fired when we hit the dropzone, although subsequent managers have been allowed more time and patience when hitting a bad spell. Most fans were sorry to see him go so soon after a double trophy winning season. He gets a good welcome and reception when he returns and I'm sure he'll get the same at your ground.

Thanks, never seen this before, presumably old newsreel, interesting that the perimeter wall around the pitch had not a single advertising hoarding anywhere.

All the work Luton are doing is TV and media related. Upgrade floodlights (for TV), 50 TV camera positions, media work room with internet facilities for UK and foreign journalists, press conference room with seating for 100, TV studio, Var studio ,and toilet and canteen facilities (for TV, media and journalists). Hopefully we have all this in place - just in case!

He's done well internationally, and at club level ....just not in England. I think he'll do well - with no European football it was always going to be hard to attract an elite level coach. Kane has carried Spurs for years and papered over some poor signings. It'll be interesting to see how they go about rebuilding the team when he moves in the summer.

Usual poor reporting from Bristol World. the piece refers to Shrewsbury appointing Mickey Mellon as Director of Football, when of course it's Mickey Moore ex Cheltenham who has joined them as DoF.

1 post ! Evening Officer

Didn't Ashton's partner run her own company that provided services to clubs/players such as you mention: help with relocation, accomodation, renting property, paperwork, documentation etc ? I'm sure I read that somewhere. You would think the club would have someone in house to do all that but it seems it was outsourced.

We may as well, all threads on OTIB sooner or later get hijacked by Robbored and end with a slagging off of Gary Johnson or a hero worship of Danny Wilson. ?

He has a house in Bermuda where he spends a fair bit of time , I don't think he has any interests in the Caribbean.

SL has sold much of his holding in HL over recent years to rebuild the stadium, pay off BCFC debts, and to pay for the upcoming sporting quarter project plus his Botswana projects. One of the truths of football ownership is that if you want to buy a football club and end up with a small fortune.......start off with a large one! as SL can testify.

All over Paul Simpsons Carlisle are in the final

You can't blame them, is it worth having a cigar stubbed out in your eye?

Still am !

I remember..........it was one of the most enjoyable moments I've witnessed in over 50 years of attending AG.? We nearly caught him too...........if only ?

Football bloody hell !

4-4 !

Gone up front!

£5 per game to watch the streams for the games played at the HPC. Seems unduly money grabbing as there's virtually zero cost to BCFC to stage these games - free for loyal season ticket holders would have been nice.

Wife ran off with a sailor ? ?

There's no sports journalism at a local level, all that Bristol Live, Bristol World, and Bristol 25/7 do is search the internet, twitter, and this forum , and not particularly well either as usually someone on here is first with any significant news like a signing ( from a proper source- national journo, foreign journo connected to selling club etc) and the local news pick it up from here and a few hours later it's...." Bristol Live can exclusively reveal etc...." Does anyone actually read the whole of their online content?

Well not all the cards, if Scott becomes aware of a bid then he may indicate that he wishes to take the move, you can't really hold a player who has decided he wants to go to the PL.. The big clubs tend to get their own way and I don't see them being dictated to. Personally I don't think a club will pay £25-30M for a player and loan them back to the Championship. .......................For instance if you married a divorced lady would you be happy if her ex-husband carried on shagging her for another year ? ?

Geoff really didn't like him, he knew he was a tosser and bullshitter from the off.
