    I don't think Wells did anything wrong, but Conway is one of the first names on the teams sheet for me. I'm also a big fan of Sykes and feeling a bit impatient with Cornick.

    Having said that, wasn't our goal a combination of all three starting forwards?

    That aside, I still think Conway and Sykes would have added a bit of extra quality on the ball.

    Wednesday gives Nige a chance to rotate, and Roberts, Conway and Sykes the opportunity to impress, albeit against lesser opposition. 

    Conway added nothing when he came on. admit that as a sub it's harder to impact, but it underscored that Wells didn't have that poor a game as primarily the service to the front guys was missing.

    They’re operating like a Tory Government. See what we can get away with before doing a u-turn!

    definately 100% feels like they are pushing at what they can get away with.

    but TBF, if they have made the change at least thats a positive. lets take that. it's easy to constantly berate the club (and boy, do they make that easy!) but we need to acknowledge when they do it right.

    I had the same.  I used PayPal.

    I suspect it does accept what you type in, even if you can't see it, but you've no idea what the fields are.  Worth typing in number then tab, then name then tab, then mm/yy then tab, then cvv then enter. (if you can't use paypal)

    I had repeated fraud problems with PayPal over the last year, and despite regular custormer services emails, nothing happened. I closed my account and won't be going down that road again!

    really need the club to offer working functionaility for regular credit options.

    @JerrySLO - can you enquire please, obv the offer of 'earlybird' prices runs out. so there is a dedline here :)!

    Wouldn't the auto renew kick in Sept 1st? 

    Thinking that you don't need to take the early bird until the end of August...might be wrong!

    depends on when you bought the original package (i think) - mine renewed today at 13.00 (!)

    so i watched Pompey and cancelled this morning.

    This is neither. If you look closely you can see that it’s been cut from somewhere else and placed on top. They used the polygon lasso, so you can see the straight edges where they cut it  - they didn’t even bother to  select it properly.
     

    My educated guess is they enlarged it too as the black in their selection is lighter and more pixelated… that and the height of the badge is almost the width of the neck ?

    i suspect they are using those generic marketing website tools which apply any logo to a visualised design - ie, not the real thing.

    the sort of thing that applies 'your logo' to mugs, shirts, cushions etc.

    The complete lack of any kind of brand consistency when it comes to the multitude of different badges being used annoys me very much, but I can't say that the colour of a training kit overly concerns me. Our training kits are hardly ever red, why does this particularly colour annoy you so much? 

    we are red and white, the Gas are Blue and white.

    for me there is a clear identity that is easy to carry into our 'brand' (apologies) and it doesn't involve the colour of our rivals. (and whatever the gap, they remain our rivals surely, as do sheff utd/wed, Man Utd/City and other shared city teams)

    we have f ucked around with the kit these last seasons in a way that just whiffs of money grabbing, it's not unique, it's a sad indictment of corporate football. but it would not be difficult to have a home kit, with associated training wear that was red and white at it's core. could still be interesting and contemporary in it's design, but badge branding and colour could be so much better defined. these last two seasons though are just a shambles in terms of all of the elements of our identity. (I've banged on about this enough really :) )

    The away kit cycles between white and black, and purple (fans fav) and now this godawful lemon / see through yellow.  (they can't even get that colour right)

    but where blue comes into this i'm not sure.

     

    out of interest, do any of the other 'red and white' teams have blue within their range?

    Agree re Ineos. I think stage wins is their target this year. 
    Vingy & Pog to battle it out for 1 & 2. 
    Should be decent battle for the final podium place - Be interesting to see what Carapaz can do now he’s released from the Ineos shackles and has a pretty decent EF team around him. Can Gaudu go one better than last year for the French? Will Mas ever step out of his comfort zone. Could Hindley be consistent enough to challenge the podium? Wide open for 3rd place for me. 
     

    As for Cav, can’t see it myself. His team are not built around him and there’s stronger sprinters and sprint teams. In the early season stuff, aside from a couple of stages at the Giro he was never in the mix and often found himself well down the peloton coming into the crucial last K. 

    Will also be interesting to see Wout and Van Der Poel potentially battling each other for stages. 
     

    Looking forward to this one. 

    re Cav - i don't think anyone saw that final Giro stage happening - he thrashed the opposition then. he will be well fired up, i think the 3 rd stage is one where he will have his eyes on it - just hope he doesn't crash out like in Yorkshire when he tried too hard

    In truth, our kits started taking a wrong turn as soon as we got rid of our old badge in 2019. 

    The training kits are pathetic, the new 'robin' they have introduced is as tinpot as i've ever seen and the blue training kit is the cherry on the cake. It's nothing but an attempt by the club to get fans to buy more new merchandise, but it's being done on the cheap by them and the quality being put out is way below standard.

    Why can't this club just keep things simple with one badge throughout (like Preston have done). Get rid of these pinstripes. I know it's a nod to 89/90, but we already did that in 2017/18 and that was a decent kit.

    Just keep it Red shirts, white shorts, red/white socks and most fans are happy. 

     

     

    I agree 100%

     

    “Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.”  -  Paul Rand.

     

    Lets just think on the 'blue' thing for a moment.

    We are historically Red and white, always have been - thats our core identity in football terms.

    Blue is and has always been associated with our arch rivals.

    With the inclusion of Rugby at the ground, Blue as a visual theme has snuck in, but there is obv clear water between us as teams - even allowing for this Bristol Sport umberella Brand stuff.

    Managing the City 'brand' and identity surely means identifying what Fans recognise as sacrosanct, and that is keeping Blue out of the equation ? (and I appreciate that there will be some fans that are 'meh!' about this, but why don't we run a poll to see how it plays out?)

    I know football is tainted with business nowadays, Cardiff bluebirds/Red Dragons is an example of that, plus the endless renaming of stands - replacing history with commercial sponsorship

    But there is no reasonable reason for introducing Blue as part of our kit, it just makes a mockery of our identity over a very long period of history.

    If our design team aren't capable of designing training wear and kit that uses our identity then they should be replaced. ********.

     

    it's quite simple.
