Just what must it be like to support that club? Things seem to go careering downhill from bad to worse. Once again, thank heaven for Steve Lansdown.

They are unbelievable, I feel so sorry for their fans.

They unveiled a banner at Cardiff last week "Mission Conference, phase one complete".

Despite being a Championship club they got rid of their kitman at Xmas and the other week they had no goalie shirt available so Joe Lewis had to wear one he'd already autographed to give to the match day sponsor.

How tough to follow a side being ground into the floor by these people.

[Monkeh]

the only way for this to be resolved is to form a new club, and their entire fan base going to support that new club,'hit oyston where it hurts.....his wallet, if they were getting 0 through the turnstyles then that will hurt him

[MarcusX]

Why are they still turning up to games??? An empty stadium will speak volumes and as you say hit Oysten where it hurts

What a toad. Makes you appreciate how lucky Bristol is with Nick Higgs.

I'm surprised he hasn't turned up face down in a canal.

More likely a waterslide in Blackpool. No canals, IIRC.

to sue fans for laying memorabilia on a statue? Has this guy actually heard himself? One way to make yourself look really, really stupid

[RedJim]

Be careful what you say about him on here chaps, his lawyers might be lurking...
