View from the Dolman

What a look. "Quick, Nick! Chuck a sign on the floor."

Like a well oiled machine...

Think you're misunderstanding! The £70m is the suggested family worth, not the club worth.

Also with Pula Sport Limited now holding the shares in Bristol City Holdings, we don't know the ownership structure of Pula Sport. Not sure information is publicly available as a Guernsey registered company.

If my aunt had balls...

They've had 4 shots?

Yes, signed for 2 more years, will be around from June next year. http://www.gloscricket.co.uk/klinger-commits-for-two-more-years/

Not the first time Hampshire have made a game out of a match despite the weather conditions. They did it vs Glos in 2013 http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/593566.html - different circumstances perhaps but some consistent names between then and now.

Oi! Thieving twazzocks. Wondered where that had disappeared to from my back garden

The pitch is awash with fans...

Good luck to the driver trying to navigate his way through the crowds...

:laugh:

Yes Wilbs!

Solid away point for me. Take a couple of points off one of our challengers. Still a game in hand. COYR.

It wouldn't take pouring over the fixture list. All it would take is a RSS feed or suchlike/Twitter etc to keep across the news from other clubs. Surely it would be prudent to be aware of your competitors and their actions?

Indeed. And other clubs like Crawley Town and Leyton Orient made changes after the release of the fixtures. But they managed to do this on June 25th 2013... that is the perfect role model of how to make the change.

"When the fixture lists are released in the summer months, each club has a short period to apply to the Football League for changes." Surely "each club has a short period to apply to the Football League for changes" is wholly in conflict with what has occurred?". A short time cannot mean many months. "Sheffield United switched their home game with Stevenage at the end of March, a fact that came to light when the latest PA fixture list was distributed amongst clubs this week." This was actually announced on March 24th (http://www.sufc.co.uk/news/article/20140324-fixture-change-1416498.aspx) so it's taken us 17 days to respond to this. Do we really need the PA to send round a fixture list for us to check over before we can see what's happening?

When the fixture lists are released in the summer months, each club has a short period to apply to the Football League for changes. At the time, the incumbent management staff decided it did not wish to switch the fixture. In Sky Bet League One, all but two fixtures were switched to Good Friday. Sheffield United switched their home game with Stevenage at the end of March, a fact that came to light when the latest PA fixture list was distributed amongst clubs this week. That left Bristol City and Notts County as the only clubs playing Saturday-Monday over Easter, putting them at a huge disadvantage against their rivals. It was only once the Sheffield United-Stevenage switch was confirmed that Bristol City and Notts County enquired to the Football League as to whether a fixture change could still be made. The club fully appreciates this puts pressure on supporters who may have made plans for the Easter weekend, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. At the same time, to give the team the best chance of preparing properly for both Easter games and securing its League One status, it was decided to press ahead with the fixture change. Supporters who have purchased match tickets will be able to claim a refund up until kick-off (3pm) on Friday (April 18th). Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Adam Baker on Twitter offering 'apologies'. 8 hour response time to an epic PR disaster. Shocking.
