OldlandReddies Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 We should be good enough to beat them whoever plays. Dont think for one second that Burton will park the bus like Wall/Bolton. They do not play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 How do you guys know so much about the opposition, do you watch them. I'm either impressed or think some people just like to play BCFC Manager during a two week gap. I am not being critical of those fantasising about being our club manager but we have a real ( really good) one who can't seem to put a decision or tactic wrong these days (which are know in their hundreds!) I think playing a guessing game about likely January imports is good fun for a new posting with names rather than positions. Will watch out for your suggested names. One other way is to name current players who Mark Ashton won't have e on his list. Some come easily to my mind from this division like Billy Sharp, Garner, John Terry,.

onehowie Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can anyone remember why the game was moved to Friday night....Gas at home Saturday, did they get priority...and if so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yes to do with the Rovers match and I recall police view re their opponents and resourcing. Not sure whether we moved because the police wanted the Rovers match on the Saturday, or just our turn, or through City choice (because of the international break beforehand). Latter unlikely perhaps when you consider Bailey Wright’s travel schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the roughest estates it`s ever been my misfortune to spend two months working on. The only good thing about it is that there`s only one road in and it`s relatively easy for the police to shut it off when it all kicks off down there as it does regularly.

Out of interest, any idea why this is so? I know Swindon collected overspill from London's East End after the war, but what is the reason for such an infamous estate in the otherwise gentile Oxford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don`t generally realise that some of these nice towns and cities have some of the worst sink estates outside the main metropolitan areas.

Does he travel first class ? Oh yes, they'll travel business/first. Think it depends on the national team who pays for what and how much, i.e how rich the country is. Some countries charter their own planes, others can only fly commercial. Top African players for example who are wanted back fresh, their club team will apparently pay for first class. If City want Bailey back as fresh and fit as possible, we will pay for the best possible no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spent half my life in Bristol and Glos I can confirm that in fact both have rough/dodgy areas; in fact all towns cities do. I can also confirm that within a very few miles of Glos there is some of the best country-side in the world. It is certainly far easier to drive around Glos than Bristol where it takes for-ever to get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
