Yes it looks that way doesn't it.

I've asked Jerry a Follow-up on Atyeo capacity on the Ask Jerry section though is there any point given the input in recent months.

I thought that section was as slow and predictable as our football?  

Either way we all know it wont happen ref Atyeo.

Forget self-sufficiency at this level. Or anything close.

It's a laudable aim but pointless as things are currently constituted.

WBA gave us 2k today despite a similar capacity. Birmingham give away sides 2k.

Sell some Naming Rights or something.

Sorry the advantage of a bit of extra cash in the grand scheme set against the advantage you can hand an away side is ridiculous.

Im in favour of the ‘nice stadium’. Either that or some other soft biscuit that suits our soft, nice underbelly. 
BCFC is not a cut throat forward thinking football business. Its too nice. Always has been.

We’ve got enough time to get a new manager in before Leicester. 
But won’t. 
And I meant manager not another bloody trainee head coach just out of head coach school. 

Im not sure we have!! This lot take so bloody long to make their mind up i wouldnt bet on it! ( and they wont anyway ). 
Theyre really in the sh1t with this one with the way it was done and how things were said. JL has dug a very deep hole and in my mind will be throwing Tinnion into it first as the scapegoat.  
However, as the BCFC ‘cosy club’ is still going strong, its even more likely that Manning does go and BT is given the reigns again. imagine that!

Either way, if theyd have given Pearson the inkling of some £ and a bigger budget as they have for Liam, then i just dont think we’d have been in this mess. 
Pearson was no messiah, but he sorted the cosy club out, only for the cosy club to return and sh1t on him. 
Bad times.  

Im not going to Leicester game as im away ( thankfully ) but i’ll do the maths for you already - 6 from 7!

We’ve been losing a six figure sum every week for years (transfer profits notwithstanding), so are we really in a position to turn down an extra thousand or more away fans by restricting away sales to 2,000? Not every team will bring more than 2k but some do. And it’s not as if we’ve got an equivalent number of home fans unable to get tickets every week. 

1000 x £37? Multiplied by at tops 10 teams bringing more than 2k, so around £350-400k per season given up. 
A small amount to take away the considered ‘advantage’ that a full away end gives. 
SL has wasted a considerable larger sum on gardening leave for several managers down the years!

I've always thought there should be an element of reciprocation however I like your thinking.

(FA Cup is more problematic but League I totally agree).

We need to wake up, sharpen up. Etc 

Unsure how big the segregation would need to be but yeah this I like.

Segregation is the joke of this though!! Look at Anfield, Etihad etc. barely 2 rows of seats for segregation. But nice old BCFC cant even let us in the same stand, nor control fans from Atyeo versus Dolman when they are segregated ( trouble v Swansea etc previously ). 
Pearson called the club out for being too nice and sorted it, for the nice Lansdowns to have a wobble and not like being called out by Nige publicly, to go back to mr nice manning, completely undoing all of Nige’s work. 
An absolute shambles. 
But yes, i think Atyeo holds approx 4200, so we basically give 2000, segregate around 1000 to leave us 1200. It also then puts away fans not directly behind the goal, also taking away the ‘advantage’ everyone talks about, let alone there being over 1000 less away fans too.

Provided neither go up or down.

Give WBA and Birmingham for that matter the same as they gave us.

Plus any other tossers who short change us.

Absolutely. 2k max and put 1200 of us in the corner. 
 

But, because BCFC is and always will be too ‘nice’ ( Pearson had this spot on the minute he came in), it wont happen. 
 

The matchday experience is about the club taking customers’ money and not anything at all about making the place hard to go to, or difficult, or nasty. 
 

2k max to any away team going forward. 
 

But we have as much chance of that happening as Mr Manning having a plan b!

He was horrific. If only we actually had anything about us it wudve been nice to hear him squirm. What a complete and utter ****** and a joke of a commentator.

He did put in an excellent cross vs Southampton 

This is true. 

F Off McCrorie. Supposed to be playing RB and doesnt follow his man. 
Yet another poor scottish signing. 
Hes really not very good. 
Tanner at RB all day long please.

Interestingly since getting fit at Schalke (no pre season) Tomas is an ever present this season…

Now there’s a shock. I wonder how our internal investigation is getting on for why we get so many injuries!

Naismith has made more appearances on Robins TV than on the pitch! Started 10 games this season after missing loads last season.  Definition of not getting value on the pitch & someone we need to try and move on. Undoubted quality but that counts for nothing if constantly out.

And to think Kalas got bad press for one bad injury, not a series of several different ones like Naismith. Get him out in the summer.

Not sure what was most disappointing.

Food vouchers or the Rewards scheme.

I tell you what is, im still waiting for my personal account manager to bloody call me!!!

It's part of the plan. Hasn't worked since QPR away, but still persisting with it. Not Mannings fault it doesn't work. 

Absolutely. After all they give the players all the information and he cant affect the game once it starts, so definitely all the players’ faults!

Nope. Mothers day not a great day for a game. Plus i cant be arsed. And neither am i going to watch it on tv either. Hoping i miss a comfortable victory but not bothered in the slightest im not making my way there now to watch another Sean O’Driscoll-type possession-for-the-sake of it performance. 

How can we look basically so comfortable and still concede 3?! Bloody joke. 

50 minutes ago, INCRED said:

I’m the same, decent first half and looked comfortable but we giveaway stupid goals and second half will show what top 6 teams do and find a way to win when not playing well 

Why am i not surprised!! Ffs. 

But as well as weve done we all just know there will be one mistake, theyll score and we’ll have a drab 1 or 2-nil result.

I believe the term for Manning is ‘progressive’. Another pure bullshit term from the footballing world. 
Weve certainly not progressed either!! 

Well, as we know, the club have always had a bit of a mare with announcements and timing of them. Who’s for next seasons ticket announcements coming out next week, with a probable price increase. 
They just wont ever ‘feel the mood’ will they! 
( and yes i’ll renew, but out of hope and insanity more than sense!). 
 

To be fair hes been missing for years as it is so doubt anyone will notice!!

EDIT

 

Apologies, many years too late. 

You may joke, but the aimless, slow and boring football is very similar!

Bristol City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “Liam is a great fit for the club and the style of play we want.

Is this the style of play Jon wants?

Yes it is! We are in the top 6 of the bottom 12 of the division!

Generous assessment. 
Think Manning needs to rip the coaching manual jargon out of his backside and get on with some proper man management to get these players up for games. 
Im sure we’ll hear all about behaviours and control later, or ‘how we want it to look like’, all utter jargon and absolute nonsense. 
Ah well, now we need to make sure we get another 6 points from somewhere……!!

Once again we concede more goals with a back 3. This blokes the new LJ-Tinkerman i tell you. 
A coaching-manual coach trying to be too clever once again. 
FFS.
