Thanks for the explanation, Miah. I know that Accrington is a regular trip for you guys whereas I can't honestly remember when last we played there so your insight is welcome. It's a ground I've never had occasion to visit.

If we can ever reciprocate by giving your supporters information about the grounds of some of the bigger clubs in the country, which they'll only have ever seen on tv, we'll be delighted to help.

Hands across the water 

We appear to have played there in the FA Cup in January 1958 - exactly 60 years ago! That was probably the last time as they folded in 1962 and resigned from the league. Obviously we haven’t been in the same division since then.

Another win and a further rise up the table. Just like the men.

Sixth now.

I see they had a Home draw with Man City today. Good result.

What is that shopping trolley sign on the top of the "roof"?

I've heard of a pac-a -mac,surely you would need two shopping trollies to take away the micro stand?

It evidently began life in a supermarket car park, as somewhere to dump your used trolley. Then after a few years useful life it got sold off and downgraded as a temporary football stand.

Look, I know this will attract lots of scathing comments about women’s football, and plenty on OTIB see them as “nothing to do with us”. 

I confess I myself don’t actually watch them. That said, they ARE a part of Bristol City, they HAVE just won away at Everton, and there are four clubs below them in their league, including Liverpool and Everton.

Seventh in the country and in no danger of relegation. So, well done them.

just looked for The Gas next fixture.....away to Doncaster. I wonder if Agent Herbie Kane wants to go down in history as the Darrell Destroyer. The man who got Darrell the bullet

He won’t get sacked. The owners won’t spend the money. Nor will they buy any new players.

DC will stay in place unless a better club offers him a job with a better contract. So that’s unlikely.

Why don't you shove your gas sentiments somewhere dark and cold, I think you are on the wrong forum ffs!

copper shows gas colours on city forum shock!

She supports City. 

Whatever happens, I can’t see Dwane/Al Qadi selling the football club for pennies and hanging on to the stadium with an unpaid loan. It seems pretty certain they bought the package in the hope of a property deal that hasn’t worked out, and will want to leave without any significant loss or continuing debt.

got me beat, can't see anyone with  a cowboy hat or anyone that looks like they like fjords, especially the crinkle bits. 

That’s definitely him next to Zaphod Beeblebrox.

They left no stone unturned during the design phase, though I do feel they could have gone for something a bit boulder.

They thought they’d bought Flint, but it turned out to be Granite.

I agree, while being delighted that we registered a 3-0 away win, it was a shocking game of football. Both teams were poor and if QPR had anything about them they would have scored at least once and probably more. 

We lacked any style or composure, too often lofting a hopeful ball into the air rather than playing much football on the  ground. Suspect any neutral would likely have given up watching long before the final whistle!

A night when the result was far better than the performance.

 

 

It was Plan B - knock it into the wide channels instead of heavy possession percentage.

Ugly but ultimately it worked.

Either is OK here - though apparently the Americans don’t used spelt.

Dowie's commentary on sky seems to suggest that the only good thing so far is that Kelly has had a good start. Was hoping that City would come out firing against Bolton, especially after last season.  

Radio Bristol saying our movement is causing Bolton problems.

And website giving us 83% possession.

I didn’t think Webster was bad, maybe he was nervous on his home debut, but I think he looks a half decent signing but I liked Hunt and as much as I rate Bryan and don’t want him to leave, he tried to be too clever with the ball once or twice today rather than keeping it simple and effective 

On the other hand Joe created a scoring chance and forced a save, which few did.

5 minutes ago, AshtonG666 said:

I was not infused when Hunt signed but I think he looked good on the ball today and Webster also looked tidy 

Really?  I thought Webster often looked nervous and panicky. And would Forest have scored their goal with Flint there? Probably not.

As for our creativity, we fielded two potentially strong wingers, started well and scored a goal after getting a corner from creating an overload on the left. After that, we seemed not to get the ball to them enough - particularly ODowda. I didn’t think he was poor, but that he didn’t get given the ball in any potentially good situations.

To me, with Eliasson and O’ Dowda there, we need to ensure the full backs combine properly with them. They have the ability to penetrate well if they can get some space out wide. I don’t think we’ll do it through the middle so often.

Astounding. Leaving Korey out if he is fit is a very very poor decision by LJ.

Hardly astounding. 

Middle pair was always going to be two out of Pack, Brownhill, Smith. Little to choose between them.

Interestingly the link in this thread lets me in, though other searches/links don’t.

Ok, I’d love to know how many of us are on their forum 

And what’s the quickest anyone has been banned for questioning the gas loving billionaire with a nice watch, I just can’t get my head around how embarrassing some of their posts are, I’d be too ashamed to state the below

The new stands are not tents but prefabricated metal stands, 

 

I was on there for a few months, using a different name and email. I was pretty respectful & less critical than many of their true fans. I never claimed to be a gashead or admitted to being City. Tried to comment as a neutral football fan from another region would do.

But I’ve recently been banned with no warning. Still dont  know how/why. Childish approach they’ve got. Can’t even visit it for entertainment now.

And yesterday Exeter drew 2-2 with Taunton ....

Slanging match and routine mutual insults aside, this would have been a very odd tale to have made up.

However, if Henbury Gas is honest, he may still have been misled - not lied to - by a person with learning difficulties who got unduly upset by an unexceptional incident, no?

His mistake may well be to have stated foolishly that he knew it to be true, just because he was told it.

I for one can imagine a situation where a person with learning difficulties just maybe sat in the wrong seat and got talked to by someone whose seat it was, in a slightly aggressive way.

At the end of the day, it may be that something that slight has got wildly exaggerated. All speculation, I know, but so is the whole dialogue.

I checked what had happened to prompt this sudden burst of optimism...they had just signed a 31 year old winger from Shrewsbury Town

This is a bit worrying. Why are players moving to them from bigger more stable clubs like Shrewsbury?

On the other hand, Ive just read a report that some Scottish lad is likely to choose Rovers over Sunderland.

Lets just pause and consider what that means for Sunderland fans.
