What I don’t understand is how any self-respecting gashead doesn’t recognise the gas loving ted coach driver?

He does babble on a bit but if you listen and take it in, everything he says makes sense and is on point……he seems to have every angle covered

Sounds like HNM looking to run his cotract down 

RIP Stoney. Echo what others have said….always saw him in and out the pubs in town and around the ground on match days, always up for a conversation and joke. Deserves a place on the mural in the ground

That’s Joe ‘not so’ Low I think

Does that mean the forest fans can start calling them the 22’ers?

Quite amazing that Nige thought he deserved a new contract very recently 

He didn’t. The club just triggered a one year extension in the hope we might get a fee for him

As much as I can see City progressing to a top half team finish - which I'd be quite satisfied with btw - I really can't see us going from 17th to getting promoted.

That's so unlikely as to be unrealistic imo., therefore I want the football at AG to be as entertaining and free scoring as possible. Us fans deserve that imo after a number of fairly bleak years at the Gate.

 

Forest 20-21 finished 17th

Forest 21-22…….

Just saying

I asked an Oxford fan who I trust about Sykes and he came back with this:

"Still not sure what his best position is. Came as an attacking midfielder who could play wide.
We've played him as a winger, a number 10, a central midfielder and at wing back. His best 6 months with us was the start of this season. Has some pace and covers a lot of ground. Can hit a good cross and find a pass. Incredibly skilful but frustrating. Kind of player who'd do a cruyff turn past a player then stick the pass into touch. 
Finishing prior to this season was terrible, there will be numerous podcasts where i said if he could finish then he wouldn't be in League One. 
Think his main issue has been attitude/training work rate. Got bombed out publicly a few times by KR, which seemed to work. 

If he was consistent, he'd be a very good player but still got age on his side. A lot to work with and going up a level and getting around the national squad could/should see him develop further. 
Can see him growing into a role like Joe Rothwell did after leaving us in a similar way.

On a free transfer, it's a no brainer."

Sounds like the O’Dowda report 6 years ago!

Exactly. For all the handbags, he was the only one that landed a sneaky beatch slap

Clearly suffers from STS……..

Great player, but a thug.

When a red card just isn’t enough!

 

And premeditated…..should have been sent down for that

Case adjourned again, trial at later date.

By the sounds of it, his defence may be trying to get it thrown out on a technicality that the CPS did not respond to an email from his wife.

The scum will end up getting away with this again

The news that SL wishes to build a new suburb around Ashton Gate clarifies two things, imo

1.  City are a very small part of SL’s long term plan

2. He is not quite the Great Benefactor some City fans believe him to be, he is an entrepreneur seeking to maximise profit for himself.

 

I don’t have any objection to that as an aim, but I do have an objection that his imperial dream has never been open, and City fans being used as dupes.  First we got BS and now this new plan.  Perhaps we might now be told the ultimate end game? A rebranding of Bristol into Lansdown City perhaps!

1. City have been a part of SL’s ‘plan’ for over 20 years and remains part of his ‘interests’ built up over the years. He has no doubt made some ‘odd’ footballing decisions during his tenure and although he has stated he is looking for investors, he continues to invest and prop up bcfc. 
 

2. SL has always stated his intention to make BCFC sustainable and to stand on its own two feet and as admirable a vision that is, it hasn’t as yet worked out that way. Suffice to say the lansdowns have still pumped literally 100’s of millions into the bcfc venture over the years, players, stadium revamp, academy, training ground etc. He was never going to maximise profit out of a football club, especially BCFC, so yes, he is an entrepreneur, a fairly good one too, who is looking to make a profit……hence why he has to go out and invest in other schemes such as the Ashton gate arena and housing in Ashton vale 

nobody has been duped….I really don’t see your point other than clearly a dislike for SL

If you look at the stats on sky sports you’d think (if you’d not watched the game!) that we’d been the better side. 
 

Just goes to show stats mean nothing as I have just witnessed one of the most dire team performance for a long time….. unfortunately, I have been saying that to myself too many times over the past 3 years.

The ball only has to touch the white line

The car park will be between winterstoke road and the atyeo statue, the arena between winterstoke road and the stadium as will all of the other office, hotel and residential elements. All on brownfield/industrial land

The other housing development separate to the ‘arena’ development  is on the land behind David Lloyd…. The former landfill site which is scrubland and does not encroach on the ‘village green’

Wonder what the chances are of seeing a few of the 'stands' from the Mem blowing their way down Gloucester Road tomorrow morning.

An application for new signage has been made by stonegate group, which, if you go by what they state on their website, sounds like it could be in good hands…….

Originally formed in 2010 with 333 pubs, Stonegate Group is now the largest pub company in the UK following 12 major acquisitions. Our vast portfolio is now home to over 4,500 sites which range from Leased & Tenanted to Managed. We strongly believe that the pub is the heart of the British culture and we strive to deliver fantastic customer experience.

Semenyo's taken great strides in the last month. 3 goals with 3 assists in January.

Mitrovic scored 3 against us alone, 6 in the month and chipped in two assists.

Funny old game the awards business.....

I’m sure the criteria is not just based on assists and scoring goals otherwise mitrovic would win it every month.

attitude, impact on games, overall performance are no doubt also considered.

well done antoine
