Hull looking pretty good with our help. Odonnell two saves and last ditch tackle, poor marking at a corner and a horror pass out of defence. Other end, poor passing , offside goal and a disappointing miss. Can't argue with the score really, but Baker looks like he's on the beach already. SG has his hands full, if we can tighten up at the back I think we could cause them problems, just a little too late though I think.

shocking pass out of defence

Ahhhh , the football fans favorite after shave......

A lego style stadium ground like Walsall or the like wouldn't take too long to build, also they may be looking at the plans again. Do they need more than 8,000 seats? That would make the build quicker.

I've not looked to deeply into the arrangement, because I don't really care, but isn't it UWE land? In which case they are right to expect to earn money from it. It amounts to a joint venture , if the Worlds richest man wants to really crack on he has to get a stadium solely owned by and ran by the club . Otherwise they are one step up from tenants again ! 6th richest club in the UK/world ??? This would not be a problem ..... what do you mean they were in London looking for finance ?

I like our new pasties

Are you kidding ? George Fergusion has single handedly made Bristol ,Sports super capital of the world, or something. Surely that means we are a go ahead, forward thinking and pro-active village... I mean City ??? Anyway , I thought this was funny. Might have been on here before, can't be arsed to look.

Hope not, like split Enz but hate that durge they trawl out. I bought an old Little Richard CD and can't play it as the last track is THAT song !!

Hope you don't mind, pinched this for some G*s baiting on FB.

Does it mean a new artist impression is on the cards?

Red smoke over the City fans yesterday, brilliant support.

11v11 site has it at 3,576 , and the HTV report seems to think it's certain. But I agree it was a different time and attitude , the middle class and Sky hadn't taken over yet. Am I undecided if it is better or worse now? Well , yes and no .

I'd dispute that

Sorry , what are you trying to say ??

The one thing they have been consistent in , they keep banging on about us thinking we are a BIG club. Now I haven't heard any of ours say this , and yet now they apparently ......... 6th biggest club in the UK , no actual proof forth coming. They will be in the Prem in 5 years. Their stadium with outshine ours Blah blah etc etc , and all without their Bi££ionaire owner putting any of his own money in !!! Could be a format for teams in the future. Oh one more thing, does anyone get a Monty Python feeling about their owner. I'm a billionaire and so's my wife.

Because if you're murdered you're happier if, and I can't emphasise this enough, you're happier knowing (or not depending on your beliefs) that the perpetrator may be caught ??

The fact that they say they say it's sooo very exclusive they can't find it on the IWC website and yet come up with a value of, as they say .... £15,860 IWC timepiece . It might well be valuable,exclusive and Fugly but as you say it seems desperate....... Reporter I've read gAssChat, he's rich, very rich in fact very very rich ! He's got a watch an' everything !! Editor proof reads that and passes it for publication as fact, Evening Post (mis)leading local paper !

Ah, so the £1.2billion is right , I can understand that lot getting excited being in the position they were but, God their fans spout some crap !!! Along with Radio Bristol, Evening Post etc etc....

To save me reading back through all this thread, has anyone come up with a final figure of their worth. I only ask because the wild speculation is becoming boring, a mate (bloody Huddersfield fan !) has pipped up they are the 6th richest club in England. With SL a simple Forbes/ Lansdown search and you find he is now worth £1.99 billion, with Al Qadi you don't get much. Figures vary from assets of £1.2b to net worth £65m. I did like the post somewhere that stated they were worth £305billion, 3 times as much as Bill Gates........... the richest man in the world

Be good to get some feedback on the new boy, how did Zak get on. LJ gave him a good report but would be good to hear other opinions.

Wonder if Tomlin is on the radar for a permanent move. Sounded a good solid performance and we are looking like we could be a decent side.

Totally agree, a quick search pulled up a similar name linked with very dodgy accusations . I didn't link it on here as I wasn't sure if it was the same family or any connection at all.

Very true , I have a good mate on FB who has kept his ST at the Rugby ground through the Non League and sticks by them what ever. Now I can talk to him , even though he is obsessed, I can just about stomach his FB posts. It's his mates that get me, the reply's are hypocritical , deluded and bizarre . If we win I enjoy it , if they win, the first line they post will include the word City or the schoolyard 'banter' equivalent.

I don't like hypocrisy , so the main thing that gets me is the complete 180 they have come out with.... Some of the 'digs' they have come out with. Big club , franchise , sugar daddy , just a toy blah blah blah. Now what do we have......They are on a level playing field , not with us oh no , with Man City and Chelsea , and I've already seen a post that states that 'the sleeping giant has woken ' !! WTAF ! OK , the family has a lot of money (family money, that may be a reality check right there), they are bankers so not oil rich like Citeh , they are not Rovers fans (and this could be massive). One or two of the family like football, one is a Chelsea fan , so why the Squatters ? I may be cynical but , the stadium will get subsidies , and aid so they build at a discount. The club itself would have been comparatively cheap ( possible ground implosion, court cases , mid table League2 with not massive gates). Move on 2 years , new ground challenging at the top of L1 and reasonable gates = profit , a bankers dream. I may be wrong , they may be in it for the long haul. But , if as they say SL will pull his money out lose interest in us and we would be finished ( ties with the area , supports the club , building for the future) , how do those same G*s feel now ?? Foreign owners , no ties to the area, only heard of the club last September ? To be fair , if I was one of that lot (and thank the Lord I'm not) I would be excited. After the tinpot way they have been run , very excited. But then my first thought wouldn't be local opposition (or should that be obsession) . The evolution thing is the right way to go, but I do think if you don't actually have a love or feeling for a Football club, then for toys you would be better off going to Hamley's. I do wonder if they ever get above us whether that would be it as there would be no ambition left to achieve.

Genuinely interested to know how much this lot are worth, just saw a Squatter post £500m !!!! Seems strange that the internet has so little about a family so wealthy.
