What is it with those paranoid little shitwipes thinking that anything BCFC related and especially SL are all out to derail their next cunning plans to overtake the shit? As if SL really gives those ’s a second thought.

Slagchat as per.....

If Richardson doesn’t plan on building a ground like the original rumoured lot that are trying to buy the Fruit Market site, then Wael should say no. 

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if Pantsdown is helping delay the buyout, seem all bit too much of a coincidence, the sh** announcing a partnership with Total produce the day after news broke about the Fruit Market. Just saying.

They really are such a ****ing bunch of deluded ****ing ****s.

(Sorry I am in a bad mood today so needed to vent some anger, and this felt appropriate)

Delighted with The Glos promotion, although I am already worried about next season!

I was out having drink after work tonight and pointed out to one of the prowed loyal and true that we will have 3x, almost 4x more than their attendance vs Gillingham. His response...?

Maybe Wimbledon should hand over the Gate receipts as well?

Idiots.

It's a disgrace. Wimbledon should clearly pay for their third kit and face a points deduction for the inconvenience to the gas....

For me Bristol City is more than just a football club.

My father passed away when I was very young so I never really had a relationship with him. He was a huge Bristol City fan. So when I was old enough to start attending games I suddenly felt as if I had rediscovered some sort of relationship with him. 

I grew up on a council estate, times were hard, I suffered unimaginable bullying, going to Ashton Gate every other week was my escape, the bullies happened to be Rovers fans!

I've lost friends, family members etc and been through various roblems in life. I'm living a rather settled and content life these days, I don't know how much Bristol City has played a part in that but I'm sure it's played it's part.

I sadly lost my mother this March. We went on a mini run after her death which really helped. I remember the first home game since her death at home to Wigan. I remember being there and feeling as if everything had changed but at the same time nothing had changed, that was quite a reassuring feeling to have. When we scored our two goals that day I cried.

My mother is now burried at South Bristol Cemetery so going to Ashton Gate now has a far deeper meaning, as you can see Ashton Gate from her grave I now feel as if she is watching down on me and us. My connection to Bristol City suddenly feels much stronger. 

I sound a bit silly don't I but the one constant in my life has and hopefully always will be, is Bristol City FC. It is more than just a football club.

I share my story because it's not a unique story to me, every single football fan will have their own stories. I saw on the news earlier people talking about their parents ashes being scattered on the Gigg Lane pitch and that really hit me because they got out of going to Bury games what I get out of going to Bristol City games, and I know how I would feel if I ever lost that so I can really feel their pain.

 

Stop it, you'll set me off again...

I saw the bit about ashes being scattered in the goalmouth at Gigg Lane. When I go, this is what I want at Ashton Gate. I agree, it's not just a football club, it's my life.

We are on Sky Sports on Saturday, considering what we went through in 82 surely us as fans should be doing something on the day to show our support for both Bury and Bolton?

Agreed. I really hope we get a few chants going to show our support for Bury and disgust at the EFL. I'll be doing all I can.

I am so so angry about this...

 

The day after Burys tragic expulsion and I am still utterly fuming about this. And I am actually very sad to the point I shed a slight tear last night. (Yes I can be an emotional softie but I've had previous problems that probably magnify my emotions)

I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who's taken a moment to think about a life without Bristol City. Its unthinkable.

The EFL really need to admit/take some responsibility for this.

How it ever got to the point where this could be allowed to happen needs investigating.

I completely agree mate. I've been discussImg this with my dad in great length over the weekend and I have mentioned your name on a couple of occasions. (He's an occasional OTIB reader).  We are on the same page. The EFL should be held fully accountable for this. Bury should never have been in this position in the first place. its ****ing ridiculous.

Did I mention I'm fuming?

I am so so angry about this...

**** the EFL. 

That's all I have to say on the matter as I am too angry right now.

Me and my daughter will be going. She's an 11 year old, season ticket holder of 4 years, but got scared at the Swansea game nonsense and has panic attacks now and struggling to get back... could be perfect for her.

I remember you mentioning that post Swansea.

All I can say is (and I'm not a parent by the way) talk to her about it and see how she feels. It could be a great experience for her, and a few trips to see the ladies team might just do the trick. I sure hope so, it would be a shame to lose a young fan.

Now Notts county are no longer in the league, who takes over there mantle of oldest club in league? It would seem Stoke (1863) and forest(65) are the main contenders, with Villa, Reading, and Weds not far behind, our neighbours are about 28th(1883)love em or hate em they seem to survive what ever, while MK (2004)AFC WIM(2002)Fleetwood(1997)Newport 1984 and City 1982 are the relative new boys?

Well done. Such a prowed moment for you.

So they have signed a player from Eastleigh after his contract expired. They are not planning on spending any money on improvements to tent town. The training ground is still.... well, is it really anything? 

Biggest bestist richest most supported club in Bristol mind.

Is there any real need for this warm up game today when we start on friday?

Probably not in my opinion, but good to get "game time" I guess. It didn't last too long either which is probably a bonus.

I just hope that's how they perform on Saturday against Australia so that I can get out early and watch the Champions League Final.

About £1.6m like the last couple of years before write-offs of the UWE costs.

I can't see that the numbers will be a surprise; there's got to be something else that has caused the delay.  It could be ongoing sale negotiations that have either been successful or have fallen through hence the announcement of the AGM date.

Filing those accounts will also mean that they can register new players so the drama is delayed a while yet.

 

On a side note The Sun had a story today about how Will Smith's career had collapsed.  I was hoping for "that" picture but no.

Brilliant Eddie.

What a shame they didn't!

 If Spurs have "The Game is about Glory" writ large at their ground, what would the Rovers equivalent be?

'the new licence effectively changed the football stadium into “an arena of sorts."' 

Presumably the sort that comprises a few marquees and sheds surrounding a field. Sounds like a game changer for Marvin Rees then.
