Wouldn't it be easier, and cheaper, to go on a City coach from Ashton Gate????

 

Not to if you’re travelling from London or surrounding areas as quite a lot of us do.

Has no one mentioned Iain Baird?

He was a class A c#ck!!

Gave two fingers to the city fans at home if I remember rightly? Remember being at Southend away and heard a comment that Baird has never been any good since he invented the TV.

A bit niche, but Oxford away in the (I think) Milk Cup, late 80's is one of my all time favourite away trips.  Andy Leaning was inspired on his debut (Dean Saunders shot came off the bar, hit Leaning & went in). Ralph Milne scored an absolute worldie & we won 4-2, a great night.

One of the best goalkeeping displays I’ve ever seen from a city keeper. 

Well done city. Its a clever ploy to keep him for next season. As soon as clubs realise he’s only got one leg they’ll look elsewhere. 
 

Max was outstanding today and showed he’s deserving his place in the team. If we can get some money for Bentley in January I’d have no problem with him moving on, much as I like him. 

I missed out on tickets a couple of seasons ago and allegedly it wasn’t at all difficult to get tickets in the home end. 

Disclaimer 
I am not suggesting that anyone would want to do this of course.

Martin is one of a kind and I feel privileged to have known him. His knowledge and passion for our club is beyond anything I have experienced. Legends are frequently spoken about on the pitch. Today we respect and honour the memory of a true legend off the pitch and a friend to so many of us.

This makes no sense whatsoever. You came to the forum 30 years ago? The forum was rubbish back then? I don’t think we are rubbish now, I quite like it here and like most of the members. 

Quite right it makes no sense as otib wasn’t in existence 30 years ago! I love it just as much as we all do! 

I’ve had a problem cos I came here looking for some positivity and 30 years later we’re still shit.

Whilst I agree we've played better with Max, am I alone in not having much confidence with him being in goal? He doesn't seem to come for crosses, and doesn't seem as good a shot stopper. 

Don’t think he’s ever let us down when called upon. Safe handling today, great distribution and one world class save. I think the reason NP has played him is to properly assess him if bids come in for Bentley. I think DB is a great keeper but would have no problem putting Max in goal if we got a few quid by selling Bentley. 

Kelly not in the squad today for their game at QPR. Speculation on Bournemouth Twitter that he could be off. Would be very timely if we could get a few quid! 

It’s a simple answer for me. Football is important and supporting BCFC through all the ups and what seems like many inevitable downs is a choice I make.

But what is so much more important for me are the friendships made and the experiences shared both good and bad. Football may be the reason for getting together on Saturdays/Tuesdays/and the occasional stupid sky fixture days, but there are plenty more times in the week that those friendships mean so much.

Football is quite often the topic of conversation but equally it might be music, politics, family, work etc. How often have the match days been a highlight of the week but the 90mins of football almost being an afterthought. 

So a massive shout out to the incredible mates I have been lucky enough to meet through having the (mis)fortune to follow city home and away for so many years. COYR.

It’s fairly easy to spread 353 people around a football pitch, with groups staying at least 2 metres apart, especially if there are no stands and seats to deal with. You could spread 1000 people easily around Ashton Gate, if everyone acted appropriately and all 4 stands were used. The problem is not in the ground itself which is outside, so less risky. It’s getting people to and from, not congregating indoors un the concourses as they enter and leave.

However in the current circumstances, the big issue is that it cuts against everything else that we are being required to do, which is really to stop mixing with each other, because as long as there are potentially infectious asymptomatic people meeting other people, the risk of spreading rapidly remains high.

The bottom line is that unlike Germany, Italy and even Greece, we have never managed to get testing sorted in this country and that’s why we are where are now. Instead of investing in and building on what we had in hospitals, universities and in local authority public health departments, this Tory government outsourced it to Serco, a company renowned for its high profile public contract failures, in which they get the money but we don’t get the service. NHS Test and Trace is a lie because it’s not NHS, it’s a private company making a big profit and failing us in the process. Just because you stick an NHS label on it doesn’t make it so.

You couldn’t make it up could you. This government is full of mixed messages. An open air 27,000 capacity stadium is not safe with say a 20% crowd but a pub after being open for 10hrs with no obvious ventilation is??

I get the travel thing and crowd control before and after but there are ways of managing that in a controlled way to minimise transmission. 

So sad when you think of the obscene amounts of money just down the road in Manchester and so many lower league clubs are on the brink of not being able to survive. 

Enjoyed some good times at Gigg Lane. Hopefully for the sake of their fans even if it’s a long road there will be a road back for Bury FC. 

Living in Brighton I have seen and heard a lot of the local reaction to El Abd's departure. There is so much respect for him and genuine wishes for him to do well for us - I honestly havent read or heard a single bad word about the bloke.

A BHAFC season ticket holding mate said he is great in the air for someone just short of 6ft and described him in a totally complimentary way as an "animal". Great news we have got him in my opinion.

What rubbish.

 

Mandela would have been released from prison the moment he rejected violence and he refused to do so.

 

He preferred to carry on killing.

 

So are martyrs created

This has got to be the most crass and pathetic post I have ever read on here....and that really is saying something.

I hope you wake up and realise what a complete and utter idiot you have made yourself out to be.

I don't know whether to feel embarrassed for you or sorry for you.
