If we are talking the same game, i can still see the seats flying between the Dolman and away end. Different times!

That's the one. My 12 year old nephew's first game in Dolman Block A, with wooden seats (with metal fixings) flying over our heads, a guy sat next to us with his leather jacket shredded down the back from top to bottom having gone in the Millwall end (FFS), brawling fans at the top of the stairs. Never seen anything like it, before or after, anywhere in or outside a ground or any form of public gathering. The entire Park from outside the ground to the Cumberland Basin, the surrounding subways, hills and roads rammed full of rioting mobs. The police had totally lost control. It wasn't hundreds but thousands at it that day. 

Surprisingly, didn't put him off though as now a season ticket holder with his son.

Not glorifying it, in fact remember reflecting on the day and thinking Jesz someone could have died (and nearly did) just for a football match.

The main confrontation was after the game on Neville Smythe park....biggest battle I ever witnessed... And we came out winners

Nothing will ever, ever compare to Millwall in the early 80's. Absolute mayhem in the Park, the ground and most of Bristol that day. 

My recollection is that pre-segregation Birmingham did a 'proper job' on the East End as did to a lesser degree, I think, Huddersfield. Post-segregation Spurs had a go but can't remember that many others - mind you most of us had migrated to the Park End by then. 

SAG, I'm not sure how you define 'took' but standing in the middle of the Tote End twice surrounded by 1,000 plus fellow City, unmoved for the entire match must come close surely, even for deluded blues.

That's smack bang in the middle, not at the back, the side or the front by the way. 

Been here before. No surprises.

With no Championship standard goal scorers putting chances away, slowly but surely confidence start to ebb away from the entire team. Rot starts to set in with the midfield, then spreads to the back line. 

Sounds like the decision not to take Baker off was a game changer. Love Cotts, love his set up but that was one massively bad call.  The minus points are now starting to add up.

He's still in credit for me but only just. 

Made to look  very much second rate there.

Lessons learnt:- Win your 50/50's

                            Don't give the ball away cheaply

                            Don't give your opponents 5 yards space

                            Wing and centre backs get goal side of your opponents on crosses

and finally, it's our ground, get your friggin footwear sorted.

This season ain't going to be easy.

Great performance. Korey brilliant again. 

Worries ... Jesz we need a natural goalscorer, Flint got caught square too many times but was generally solid and Frankie needs to dominate the box more. 

But fantastic overall... and our Joe is back. 

If only we had a lethal 'in the box' goal scorer.... so many chances laid on a plate. That's the missing piece of the jigsaw.

Hang on a minute. Is that not a garden shed to the left of the container? 

This is what potential investors are looking for in committing cash to a project... clear signs of growth and improvement.

I think we should be worried... if a second-hand precast concrete garage arrives that'll be the sign the major investor has been found.  

Just so funny the deluded few still go on about City being at that Mansfield match.

Why think any City would dream of attending their survival celebration party is beyond me. The odds on them ****ing things up were so outlandish that you'd got more favourable ones on spotting Lord Lucan at the local Sainsbury's.

How much longer do we have to wait to tell the Slags that Comrade Higgs is another imposter following the long line of successful incursions including Sir John Ward, Lord Clarkson et al?

BTW .. I exchanged my shares for a brick, then swapped the brick for a food voucher. Not many have played the stock market that well I tell you.

Henburygas proven wrong yet again, that guy is worse the kachina

Actually, I think his latest post might have a semblance of truth.

Didn't the Wonga type company have the ground as security against their loan? Wasn't the loan used to fund the legal costs?

Think the ground is, therefore, at risk unless the Directors stump up the cash.

Think they are in the serious pooh now.

Are they going to pour any more money into this? Have they got any more?

Any sensible football agent will be putting a serious health warning on the Club.

The Wonga vultures will be gathering picking off the carcass soon.

BRFC RIP

Is it just me, or does everyone read that as 'Gash eads'?

I know, they've not a ounce of originality between them and steal nicknames (as well as songs, grounds etc) from all their rivals .......but I thought promoting themselves as 'The Gash' might be a step too far. Strange lot.

Looks like a wedgie selfie.

Looks like he thought all football league games were going to have a sausage protest.

Special mention to Frankie, who's handling was immaculate, and Aden who was an absolute rock. We were busy, but not dominant, for long periods of that match.

YTFC have no cutting edge but played decent football. Hope they stay up.

Atmosphere was, indeed, dire.

Not me. I'd rather have a bad loser, ungracious in defeat, then someone mumbling on about how it's all about the process, rather than the result, after a stuffing.

Loving Cotts. He's clearly absolutely livid with the players ... that's what a winner is all about. Top man, top manager.

Now go sort it against Donny m"boys.

Prowd.

Massive day for the Club and Club officials today.

Superficially, appears incompetence of the highest order. The timing of the decision, lack of liaison, means of communication, absence of apology... You couldn't make it up.

It can't be quite as bad as it seems.......surely. Not our Club.

If Carling made football nights.........

'I didn't see that coming'

Well SC that is your job. You should see that coming and have a Plan B if it happens.

If nothing else Mr Cotts please explain why Sheffield Utd weren't tired.

A bit of honesty would be appreciated. Something along the lines, last week I said the lads were tired. Basically that was a smoke screen. I tried to protect them and myself. The truth is we 're crap. I've added to the shambles by repeating the mistakes of my predecessors. I've bought in useless journeymen and have no idea what to do.

At least then you and the players will not be delusional about being anything else than the worse team in this division by a country mile. That may save us, as only 150% from each member of this squad and back room staff will give us a sniff of a chance of saving ourselves.

Bristol City calling Warnock. Are you available mate?

Relax. Trust our leader.

Come 65 minutes, Sheffield will fall apart due to exhaustion.
