howey_ducky Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 It's a football forum. No, you cannot own more than one nfl team, however there are two teams in New York, the Jets and the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel the need to and it generates discussion and interest why not. I just thought as we share the owner and the stadium with them as well as being the cities rugby club people might like to know. If of course there is no interest the thread will drop like a stone and we can all carry on debating hashtags, Hopsey's socks and who called who what from which stand.

By the same token you should also be fine for American, Aussie Rules and Gaelic Football. Always happy to hear Bristol doing well - all more publicity, interest, people and money coming to Ashton Gate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to know more, there are a few threads in the "non football" forum you could have a look at. There are quite a few American football fans that use otib, if you have any questions, i'm sure one of us would be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well as the season is pretty much finished and there are a lot less threads in the summer I thought I would promote the rugby in the main body of the forum for the reasons stated earlier. In fairness I have no objection if nfl gets the same exposure if there is indeed enough interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right it's madness. If Bedford were to win the playoff final then no one would get promoted and London Irish would get a reprieve that they don't deserve. Thankfully it looks like that won't happen......probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwickshire Red Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks Red M for posting the score- I'd forgotten to check their result so a good reminder. Excellent result. Hopefully the final then promotion beckons this time. Also, good to see Bristol City Women winning 2-0 against Watford Ladies today to go back to the top of WSL2. Things are not going too badly in the BS stable currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southstandoriginal Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 That's right. They didn't even put their ground forward for approval, they've obviously no interest in promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Bedford were never going to be an issue. It looks like Doncaster and Bristol may well contest the final. If they do then I hope we go for home second leg. Those players like Lam and Henson out injured could be handy if fit come then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Bottlerssssss. There... Someone had to say it to get it out there. I am not superstitious and after about 5 attempts and failures if all they cling to is not to tempt fate then they truly are doomed to fail again. This IS their year. And they are gonna do it in some style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second leg of semi v Bedford is next Sunday at 3.15. Final v Doncaster or Yorkshire 1st leg away on Wed 18 May and home leg Wed 25 May at The Gate. Plenty of us in South Stand have dual ST's so the red shirt / red and white scarf now gets the annual wash and it's on with the navy and white from next week. Come on Bris!
