This surely isn’t a real quote? 

In fairness, probably a bad time to release a shirt, given it’s the Euros.

Love that. 
 

On the 27th November we had a home game against Tottenham and then on the 27th December, we were away to Warmley 

Warmley had a brief period where they were fairly large for a football club, at least regionally- not sure why they folded, though I think the story is online somewhere. 

I hope to see salty Martin tears come the end. 

Edit.  My mistake, not official yet

I see Sheffield United up for sale still may have a bidder..they've been up for sale for a while of course.

Reported price tag of £100m and even that is deemed toppy by buyers (as per Nixon anyway all of that).

We are surely vastly overpriced.

Ah but your not getting a world beating well beaten rugby team and a semi pro basketball team thrown in. 

I don’t see what the Teknial Directums done wrong here? This is no different to a 100 thinly veiled throwaway comments managers ect will make over the close season.

Job for Ten Hag?

you wouldn’t bet against it, though I’d be surprised if he gets another gig in England currently. 

Lucky he wasn’t sacked sooner.

Fruit market?

The Galaries site. Too late, too expensive and possibly too small, but what a location that would have been! 
 

Fruit Market aside, not sure there’s much option. Potential to do something with the Harbour Gateway plans, or whatever that’s called. 

So my cynical assumption, FA Youth Cup winners would have been a handy gold star in the selling points column.

Despite everyone at Failand "rubbing their hands together" at those fixtures?

I'm glad we're getting consistent messages from everyone who currently does a little bit of the CEO's job.

Oh wow, well remembered. 
 

It’s almost like they’re making it up as they go along. 

part 3 is out.  Confirms the club is up for sale, but only “the right people” and a move, either sale or investment is someway off. 

Fml get on with it

I was there that day as well.

1-0 to us, can’t remember who scored but it ended a bad run for us. 3 months later we were up to 5th (iirc) after beating the Gas 2 days before Christmas.

 

Wow I honestly wouldn’t have put those games in the same season!

Two cracking away days for next season added in Portsmouth and Oxford.

Went to the Manor Ground in the mid-nineties when they were in financial trouble. Will look forward to another visit in whatever ground they are playing in.

I went there when we had to beat them to not end the day 24th. Last time we played them in the league?

Didn't read or listen to Lansdown. But concerned to see that next season Bristol Beats will not be spending up to the salary cap as most other Rugby clubs will be, as for example Bath, who seem to buy any player they want. They will rely on experienced players developing the young players. It doesn't fill me with much confidence of our spend this summer. I was never that confident anyway but reading this suggests the spend will be kept as tight as possible. I cannot see it anywhere near meeting Manning's idea of being backed in the transfer market 

Where’s that been stated? He was moaning about the cap being too low previously.

Brian…? Do you fancy a go?

What an press conference announcement that could be.

JL “after a rigorous discussion in the leadership committee, where we ensured all the right behaviours were adhered to, we came to a joint conclusion”

the lights in the room dim 

JL “ladies, gentlemen and non-binary folk, it’s my pleasure to introduce…”

Fog on the Tyne starts to play, the Bristol Post jorno cant contain himself and turns to Joe Simms “Oh my god Joe that’s Brian Tinnions music”

In walks the legend himself.  Images flash on the big screen of that goal he scored 30 years ago. Fireworks surround the stage.  People faint in excitement in the legends presence. 

JL “…The Teknikal Directum himself, Brian Tinnion” 

Brian takes the mic, happy incoherent geordie noises emanate from the stage. 
 

That’s an announcement.  None of this sitting around talking about “good humans”. Get it done City. 

I don’t want him to go, so I’ll preface with that. But if this did happen (very low chance imo) that would be comedy gold.

Thought it was a really disappointing game of football - ended up only half watching the second half. WBA barely even laid a glove on Southampton, I guess it was their game plan but it's hard to see what their plan to actually, you know, win the game was as opposed to just be there.

Crewe comeback at Doncaster aside, the play offs have been very underwhelming this year

Will you even recognise it?

Probably when we get the new ownership, yes.

Completely agree. 

Rugby Union seems to be in financial decline and there is clearly no money to be made in the Flyers until they play at this new arena 

Looking back the idea of having all Bristol sides together made sense but not under one sole owner 

You only have to look at how there was also investment in a squash player (I think) and a car racer, that someone got very carried away 

That was Miami Gran Prix winner Lando Norris….helped that his daddy was friends with a certain someone.

Absolutely spot on. 

We won’t know that until it happens.

Because he said he was open to investment

He made it very clear he was open to outside investment

He made it very clear he was open to selling the club, the whole circus or just having investors come on board.
