They make the mistake of meeting someone who knows nothing about / dislikes football. What's even worse is marrying a Rovers fan (apologies is there's someone on the forum who has) . There should be a dating lonely hearts thread on the forum so that single City fans can meet up.

Think the 17k include Wigan 1300. And sure I read all ticket so no POTD. Would imagine attendance between 17000 and 18000.

Still using the old changing rooms then.

Does Dave Whelan ever mention he broke a leg in a FA Cup final?

[reddogkev]

COME ON YOU REDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Let's have Wigan today, rip them to shreds, score at least 5 goals, preferably with 4 from LT.

So the Williams Stand is now the Lansdown Stand. Nice.

Hope Wigan set off early as m5 is stacked right up into Gloucester I'm predicting a late ko.

Seeing as I saw 2 of their players in Milennium Sq last night about 5.30 I think it is safe to say they are here..

[Esmond Million's Bung]

Today's team selection is going to be very interesting indeed, be surprised if Kodjia, Tomlin and Abraham all start.

I suspect that this season as with last season under LJ we will be adaptable, there will be system changes throughout games to combat any problems and with the signing of Magnusson we might occasionally even see the return of 3-5-2.

Cant see Tomlin in that list???

Spitilles has just said on RB that GON probably won't be fit, we shall see.

[BcfcAllen]

There's a novelty - a full bench at the start of the season!

[Fordy62]

Really pleased to see Freeman on the bench. 

No matter how much stick he gets on here, he's a quality footballer.

No Golbourne - presuming an injury.

Ayling starting is a genuine surprise.

[Mihai]

Hello mates !! I am very excited about the new season. Let's hope we start this new era with a win and with a good morale for this campagin. We did well in the transfer market and we must prove that we are not the team that we was in our last seasons in Championship.

Matthews guess classed as not match for just yet. Incentive for Ayling to have a good game

I'd rather he started on the left as it sounds like Tomlin is going out there.

Decent looking one too.

Fantasic to have such a range of options to alter the game with.
