1960maaan Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The paper does annoy me and it does seem to lean towards the squatters, but as both sets of fans complain about the paper, maybe it's our relative perspective and so I will give it the benefit of the doubt for this. What I won't forgive it for is the rank bad and lazy reporting, at least the Sun and Mail do sensationalist headlines properly and with fewer grammar and spelling mistakes. Yes the prices have been discussed and we would all like lower prices, but ........ it is 3 years on, in a higher division in a brand new stand, better seats and leg room and facilities . It is NOT like for like as the Post implies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two won't open on my iPad and, the third one is some bloke talking about a car ! It was more the juxtaposition of City ripping off us fans,with no mention of how good the new stand is,and how utterly utterly brilliant the new UWE will be with thousands of new fans and Prem football !

They'd struggle to say how UWE will rip off fans when I doubt they've released ticket prices yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ok people, we need to be more thoughtful in the views and news we post on this fine forum, given there is a strong possibility of it being lifted by the Post and published as fact. So can we all please avoid any more mention of sightings of Mr Stockhausen caught naked in the Ashton Gate car park smeared in joy gel having fallen in a dwarf with a poodle on his face. Careless talk costs lives and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What nearly a year ago ? west Stand was hardly started.As I have said it was the lying headline and juxtaposition with the blue few that really annoyed me.We are not going to agree,perhaps I am older than you and seen the post print rubbish for too many years,never mind ,take care.

Charliesboots Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The Post is bought for two reasons in my house. 1. I like the Bristol Times pull out they do once a week. 2. The Wife then uses the rest of the paper to line the Guinea Pig hutch as it's pretty absorbent with their piss. The real paper died years ago, this one is a very poor shadow of its former self.

22A Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Remember 69-70? City were battling relegation, so Alan Dicks made two loan signings, a defender and the other a midfielder from Wolves & Coventry. Instead of praising AD's astuteness, the Evening Post printed an editorial stating "By using his Midlands connections, Alan Dicks has given City an UNFAIR advantage over their relegation rivals".

S_Y_G Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 There is no bias with the post, its aim is to sell as many copies as it can, simple. It prints whatever it thinks can achieve that. Thus not being particularly critical of either rovers or city, and generally going over the top with anything. If city have more fans than rovers then why would they have a rovers bias, its nonsense.
