Redland Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 When we went up last year I was worried about whether we would survive in the Championship. I remember our previous promotion when we came straight back down the following season. Up until Christmas I just wanted 50 points to avoid relegation. Yes, I am now disappointed we didn't get automatic promotion. Yes, I am gutted we lost today - particulary after the Millenium experience with Brighton. However don't lose sight of the fact that Gary Johnson and the boys have done us proud and surpassed all expectations. Thanks Gary for all your hard work and for a great season - lets kick on from here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted but still believe..always believe! Roll on next season, automatic anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gary for all your hard work and for a great season - lets kick on from here! Exactly!! If we had struggled this season and stayed up on the last day, like Southampton, we wold have been ecstatic to be playing in the championship next season, obviously we have to look at everything in context and to come so close twice and not go up is gutting, but we have had an immense season and the boys have been briliant! My tears today were less for the upset ast losing and being in the same league next year (though a bit for that) but more for the pride at what we have achieved as a club this season!!!!

forbespm Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 the first game i went to this season was in the pre-season friendlies when a near full strength city got tonked 4-1 by forest green. the last game of the season i've been to we've narrowly lost 1-0 in the play off final at wembley.kind of puts it into perspective. i,m proud of the lads for all there efforts this season,and i've learnt from gj to be humble in defeat. thank you city,i'm proud of you..i hope it's just the beginning come on you redz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiolosse[KSP] Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yup, thats true. To be honest - i've been worried a little when City drawed with Skonto on pre-season game. But later the way up the table was amazing. GJ is truly great coach and i know that Bristol City will be in Premier League soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 yep tiz been a great season i'm just gutted we could not top it off with promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobster Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yeah, have to put things in perspective. In our first season back in the second-tier, we've achieved our highest finish for decades (surrounded by much wealthier and more established clubs) and played some good football along the way. The contrast with 98-99 couldn't be sharper (when the board spent a lot more money but destablilised the club and we finished bottom). I'm trying to look at yesterday as a beginning rather than an end and I'm sure GJ and the lads will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
