Kingswood Robin

Was just thinking that ! A lot of our January signings have been more Shat-urday Night at the Movies though. Let's hope for different this time.

Lansdown will be choking on his cornflakes when he reads about that.

In recent times Weimann, Brownhill, Reid and Joe Bryan stand out I think. Wasn't here for long but Wade Elliott worked hard as did his namesake Marvin at his peak. Going back further Shelton, Owers and Scott were pretty industrious.

Can you be issued with a brown card for being ............

He got caught dropping an e and got suspended.

I don't know the bloke. Can't say I'll miss him, can't say I even noticed him, but that may be a good sign. Well paid, 18 months in the job and moves on. Feels like every CEO I've ever worked for. Next!

I don't effing believe it. Couldn't go to games in August and this is only the second home one I've missed since, the other Preston home.

You've just described how I feel before every home game !

Agreed. Jordan leaving was a disaster that set us back decades, I'm not sure we've recovered (on the pitch) even now ! Selling Keith Curle to the mighty Reading peed me off a bit. The regret list of players bought is a lot longer than the regret list of players sold !

I often find myself looking towards the heavens when watching City, wondering what my dad would have made of things. Our last match together was in the double winning season at home to MK Dons. A howler of a back pass from Wade Elliott pegged us back to 2-2. Minutes later he put everything right by scoring the winner. Eleven points clear at the top of the table, we came out of the ground together as pleased as punch. We got to the end of Ashton Road and he started feeling unwell. In less than an hour he was gone. 32 years of watching City together, over in an instant. In his 50 odd years of watching them he never saw them win a title and he missed out on it all that season. Going to the game on my own and putting his scarf on his empty seat on the day we won the title was hard. At the final whistle I didn't know whether to cheer or cry. My son is old enough to come with me to games now and that's my biggest regret, that we didn't all get to go to a game together and he never saw my children grow up. I just hope I can be there with my son when we win promotion to the Premier league. I don't care how it goes while we're in there, I just want us to be there together the day we make it.

Funny you should say that. As someone from BS15 since the mid 1970s I always thought the opposite, that the Rovers support was more towards the Bristol end of Kingswood. I grew up in the Warmley area and you had Rovers areas around on the old estates (Soundwell, Banjo Island, Mangotsfield etc) but since the late 70s early 80s many new houses went gone up in Kingswood, Warmley, Longwell Green, Emersons Green, Bridgeyate and so on and people parachuted in from all over the place and brought their allegiances with them. My family moved into one of those brand new estates in the 70s and it was split red and blue right down the middle. I found much the same at school, kids football, workplaces and pubs in the area. I still live in BS15 and my road has about 25 houses. Four known Rovers households of which one lot attend matches, and seven City households of which four regularly got to games. That's the thing that's always stood out for me, those claiming to be City actually went to some of the games, while many of the Rovers lot hardly ever or indeed never went to watch them.

What a good home win would do for us now. It would make two good away points seem fantastic. Winning some games in front of your own fans is a must. Got to go all out to beat Birmingham.

and a right pane in the arse so I've heard

But they weren't cheering the fact that King was leaving the field, it was a message to Pearson who was forced to change the positioning and selection.

Not a flippant question, but who is that and what is the correct way to express our displeasure to them? For me it's simple. Serve up something that's worth watching and people will be happy. Serve up dross week, after week, after week and they won't be. One home win since August.

Too true. You can even pinpoint the moment in the game. It was like a trap door opened underneath us.

But what about Millen, Tinnion, SOD (not a high end appointment in my eyes), Holden, McInnes, Smith, Lumsden - All crap. Yet Cooper and Jordan didn't do too bad.

West Brom weren't exactly ear splitting when we beat them up there earlier in the season while they were playing poorly. Today, their form has picked up and they were winning and they were noisy, funny that. We've been generally shit for close on 5 years now. Even 1982 and all that didn't go on for this long before something good happened. We have won once at home since August including getting utterly embarrassed at home to Lincoln. I'm surprised people turn up at all let alone make a load of noise. What is there to be noisy about?

Thank you both

Was closed last weekend. Just wondering if anyone has passed through there in the last few days. Thanks

Agree with all of this with the exception of the fanbase comment. We're not even close to being the worst, I'm amazed how tolerant we've been and continue to be. 25/30 years ago the crowd would have been far more vocal in expressing it's displeasure.

Play-offs? One home win since August. One that I couldn't get to ! I'd just like to see us win a game.
