Never noticed before, on main event as well. Hows our record on Sky ? The nation will be watching, what could possibly go wrong

Doubt they will...

That sounds like the sort of thing that gets said by people who don't watch Bristol City

Changed that for you.

The Brighton comparison referencing 2004 is interesting but no straight line IMO.

They went up yes but after 2 years inthe Championship game down again and were still at the Witbdean until 2010-11, their final season there.

Fortunately as luck had it they moved into the Amex and got promoted in that final season at the Withdean. The crowds going up by 2.5-3 x the previous year, the turnover likewise gave them a rare sense of momentum. Those two items aligning surely helped.

We on the other hand lad lost Coppell a year previous, a fantastic Maynard in 2009-10 had vot injured prior to 2010-11 and this fed into a downward slide.

The year in which they got promoted was the year we had finally redeveloped and able to open AG in full, 2016-17. We actually went in or our the groundwork in for Ashton Vale in 2007, unsure when Brighton begun the planning process for the Amex.

Tony Bloom gambled at that point, Brighton were losing a serious amount of cash in the seasons before they went up, if they hadn't got promoted they wouldn't have been able to keep losing such amounts..

This will likely be the “trade-off”…defensive minded Tanner versus attacking minded TGH.  The 70/20 split was perfect yesterday.

Agree, worked well when we needed to close the game out yesterday..

I thought he made a good start but then after 2 bad mistakes shrank back a little before growing back into the game.

A really good cross into the box at one point (think it may of been a free kick) and his set piece delivery looked a lot better than what we have been used too.

Not a right back as you could see him tempted to move infield but as mentioned better than Tanner going forward.

I liked the lad and his passion for the team looked evident, I would be happy to trigger the full transfer if he keeps this up and can only see him improving.

That's not good..

IF NP goes at some point, I have this horrible feeling that if SL doesn't get Mark Robins then LJ will be back in charge here...

Good bench that, hold out for the first half then go counter with subs..

Ive had a feeling for a while he's not that keen on NP and wants Mark Robins.

No JPT's either.

No Welsh cup either...

Chelsea have paid Brighton £223m in transfers in one year

Cucurella  £63m

Potter  £20m

Sanchez  £25m

Caicedo  £115m

Not had this for a while, bit of strength off the bench..

It starts with the owner doesn't it. Look at Brighton & Brentford. The fact that the Brentford owner used to work for the Brighton owner says a lot about how good Tony Bloom is at what he does.

Completely, bloom is a good poker player and a rich business man but didn't know how to run the infrastructure of a football club so employed the best football people he could and listened to them.

My personal thought on all this is … as much as it annoys me that he’s gone.. I under the deal..

but… 

this all reminds me how mad it is that Bournemouth Brentford and especially Brighton have kicked on in the way they have 

I know we are a “2 city team” but how have we not got it right once in the last however many years 

Because we have never put the right footballing people in the right jobs to run the club.

We've only just started to do this and are unfortunately still footing the bill for previous employees running of the club.

Like all sorry to see him go but good luck to the lad..

Yes and possibly facing a points deduction for failing FFP rules.

The money from Semenyo has helped us get over FFP and allowed us to reinvest in the squad, what about this you just don't or can't seem to acknowledge?

Cornick is what you get when you sell , Semenyo, can’t wait to see who the club come up with to replace Scott.

 

With both Semenyo and Scott, we would have been a much better side than what we saw yesterday, a side that could challenge the top end of this league.

Got it now..

Still absolutely nothing...

Me neither, also strange as I have a new iMac and for the pre season live video matches it wouldn't let me go onto full screen, not sure if that is a Mac issue?

Oooh my person updated - I now have the name, address, phone number etc. for someone else.

This one is the Group Head of Marketing & Ticketing at Bristol Sport, which is very amusing if it's not intentional.
