Middlesbrough just exude dullness.

At best he was unprofessional. His comments didn't upset me as such, but him using his position to make them did. Shame on WBA, they need to employ more professional people as it reflects on them as a club.

At one point one of them burst out laughing amd said that the Dingles (Wolves) had been beaten in the last minute. Can you imagine Owers saying similar about Rovers.?

Yeah something does have to be done, atmosphere is dreadful. Dolman A and B block would be good or the whole of the Atyeo but it'll never happen. Need to be closer to the away fans though. 

 

Why on earth do you say that, unless it is to spend the entire game antagonising them ?

Bit of an administrative nightmare but maybe bring in a loyalty system where the child's ticket attendance this season being over say 70% (please people don't get too hung up on this number, I made it up) gets you the lower price for the following season whereas the selfish git whose niece attended once pays quadruple for a child ticket? 

What I dont understand though, is if an adult buys a childs ST just to get a shirt and a seat next to him for the remaining 20 quid or so, why would he not take a mate or family member with him? The stewards take no notice of adults going in on blue lights. I will always maintain the majority of the empty seats are SS ticket holders sitting elsewhere.

I don't know? All I do know is that whenever I look at the South Stand all I see is loads of empty seats and people advised there are no tickets for sale in that area. I'm sure there's a solution in there somewhere.

Yes, somehow stop them sitting, standing in the Dolman or Lansdown.

Remember that many of the match day staff work at both clubs, so a clash could mean one club, usually the one that pays the least, be short staffed. There is a minimum number of match day staff needed by law, to put on a game and a City game against Leeds was very nearly cancelled an hour before kick off several years ago for this very reason.

Blimey this OTIB epidemic has reached Aus...honestly what the hell do we know just what the players are thinking?

 

 

 

Crikey, if they're not confused then that just leaves they're crap.

Where were the parents today, to allows 2 little boys to invade the pitch on the 90th min, they couldn't have been no older the 11yr old, taken to A8 ,1 held the other one ran off,just for one of them to receive a 3 Yr ban, 

When you think about it, there is no way the club can enforce a stadium ban, it would be so easy to gain entry, although in the unlikely event you do get in trouble again, the consequences could then be severe. 

That was very similar to a goal kick a few years ago, at the Atyeo end that was put out for a corner under similar circumstances.

If only Moysie was our boss, as we could sing  " Thank Heavens for Dickie Goals, without them what would David Moyes do?" 

We have the Internet here, deepest Suffolk, not so sure.

Just watching on Sky. He’s saying that the 4 subs by them made a huge impact - but it’s him that can impact that, surely????

Well it's a good job they never played from the start then isn't it?

Can understand the logic in wanting fans to lose convincingly in hope to force out any undesirables from a club name.   We had the same thing when Marcus Evans and his long list of god-awful managerial appointments were running our then once proud club name into the ground.  

You never really want to see your team lose any game and it causes division among the fanbase but when things have reached a certain level and change is or seems imperative then sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

You won't be beaten by seven goals tonight, the way McKenna deploys his team set-up will see to that and we very rarely hit goals in high number in any given fixture.     A lot depends later on how much our players really want it and the level of desire or appetite within them.      We have the strength in depth to do damage to any given opposition but sometimes appear too lenient in finishing teams off.     

 

With the 4 top teams pretty much on a par with each other, now could be the time to boost your goal difference.

even if it was horrendous, and I fumed at the VAR decisions, and all the diving, and the rest of the circus... it would be worth it just to get that monkey off our back...

 

fed up being 'prem ready', etc

Problem is that ST prices would shoot up for our season in the Prem, but upon relegation would not come down much, if at all.

The flare on the pitch was odd.

They were waiting for us to score, and then realised we weren't going to, so lobbed it anyway. 

I just wonder what a good tonking, let's say 5 or 6 - 0 tomorrow would do for their thought process? 

My View is that a good old relegation dogfight is a damn sight more exciting than a midtable bore fest. Thankyou Liam.

The weather warning for snow was issued at 6:00 this morning, so not much of a forecast!

That sounds like a "look out the bloody window" forecast.

Stockwood is under about 4 inches but get to Whitchurch and there's nothing. Bedminster, Ashton totally clear, no chance of it being off.

Wouldnt it be great if Downsie mispronounced his name during the warm up. " Number 9 Famara Diodio"

Certainly the only team I've seen at 4 different "home" grounds. I think they might have used Forest Green for a home game as well some time ago

Plus they used The Gate for a home game or two for some reason back in the 90s.
