  1. I actually think that's a pretty good and original(?) idea...wonders will never cease!
  2. I always liked "He always performed his job entirely to his own satisfaction".
  3. We weren't favourites for promotion before 2014-2015 by any means. We'd just come off a season where for 2/3 of the season, we were in real danger of relegation.
  4. One more seat than the Lansdown would be an achievement for them.
  5. And don't forget the "mighty" Gas who, with their incredible fan base, will no doubt be storming L1 this season. Ipswich, Wednesday, Derby, Pompey etc, be very afraid.
  6. Thought he did ok there all things considered, but obviously, like us, the point deductions to Reading and Derby were a big help. They were never in danger of going down which was about the best they could have hoped for. We were a big help to them too, did they do the double over anyone else but us?
  7. I seem to remember City playing at Cambridge when they had Claridge and Dion Dublin upfront?
  8. Who does Gloukh play for? Hopefully someone in the corridors of power at Ashton Gate is taking note.
  9. Wonder if Oldham might get a reprieve if Derby go? EFL won't want an uneven number of teams in any league, so reprieve Gillingham to L1 and Oldham to L2?
  10. The way FGR are finishing the season, Mansfield home to FGR in their last game looks a winnable game.
  11. Wow, didn't realise they'd actually been promoted today. Well done the Gas! When's Joey's next court appearance?
  12. “Over to Fratton Park where there's been a red card, but for who? Chis Kamara...“ “I don't know Jeff, has there? I must have missed that" Can always brighten the darkest day! It's the totally bewildered look on his face.
  13. Hmm...this aged well. Just drew 1-1 with Crewe who were basically relegated by Christmas and Ipswich will miss play-offs by about 13 points.
  14. As Joe Strummer once said "The future is unwritten". Who'd have thought Huddersfield, who were one of the few teams below us last season, would be challenging for automatic promotion. Barnsley last season made the play-offs after only surviving in the final game of the season before.
  15. Ebou Adams is the one the supporters think could step up. Out of contract this summer, Cardiff rumoured to be interested, does have a few disciplinary issues. City don't seem to look at FGR players although several have gone the other way. No reason City couldn't have picked up Keiffer Moore and Ethan Pinnock for next to nothing for example
  16. Same here, still with NP atm but this squad should be capable of better than 18/19th. How many of Luton's squad for example would improve our squad on paper? Lord only knows how much more we're paying the squad than they are but it must be obscene.
  17. Michael Duff would have to be the outstanding candidate from the lower leagues. Either the lowest or 2nd lowest budget in L1. I think Crewe might be lower but they already got relegated. It would be a gamble but Ryan Lowe has done well at Preston after making a similar step up from L2 to L1 and then moving to the Championship, so it could work. Not sure it would be a great move for Duff though sadly. We could destroy his career in one season! The guy at Wigan has done a great job after inheriting a disaster area but they're odds on to come up anyway

    Getting to the Premier League is the only way SL is going to make any money from Bristol City FC.
  19. Oops! Nothing like a home defeat to Cambridge Utd for a chastening dose of hard reality. If Ipswich fail to make the L1 Play-Offs, it has to be seen as an abject failure whichever way you look at it.
  20. I watched the first 30 secs of that thinking Rovers were playing some nice stuff, then I remembered that Carlisle play in blue & white..., first of their "highlights" was a player stumbling into the penalty area and lashing a shot straight at the keeper
  21. Has it been decided fully how much loss can be written off due to Covid yet? We can't be the only club to have made a huge loss from 2020-2021, I read somewhere that Stoke lost a lot more than us? Others must be similar to ourselves with no PP I would have thought (Cardiff, Boro, Forest maybe?)
  22. If he only wanted to make money buying the massive financial sinkhole that is Bristol City FC is/was a particularly daft way of going about it!
  23. They're Blackburn Rovers and they're 4th in the Championship. New contenders for most entitled set of supporters?
  24. City are 100/1 for relegation with a couple of bookies, it was 120/1 before yesterday's result. £50 bet gives you £5000 back, I suspect you're not offering to match those odds....
