Look at this beauty. What is he 9 . By far the most loyal? Only 5k STs sold on the back of their best season since 2000 8k at home in L1 300 odd to Bradford, 500 to Bury...both on Saturdays. We sold 9000 STs on the back of relegation to L1 after the worst season I can remember in the 30 years I've been supporting City. We've spent most of the last two seasons struggling at the wrong end of the Championship table....they've been challenging for promotion each year, visiting grounds like Pompey, Plymouth, Swindon, Oxford, Coventry, MK, Walsall, Charlton, Millwall etc in those seasons and they still don't average more away from home than us. It was only a couple of weeks ago someone posted a thread on Slagchat asking Gasheads to provide stats to prove their away support is better than ours and the best they could come up with was "uhh Dean Windass huh huh huh" and stuff about 1982 for some reason? So basically they've got nothing.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Rovers wanted to buy the ground under the table but UWE only said they could rent it. Rovers didn't like that so they went home mumbling about 'Teds' or something... 2 hours ago, Lita For Congo said: I've stumbled on a treasure chest here. Jesus Christ they are such a weird fanbase.

My dad always claimed that if they had lifted their no buy no sell policy in that period, they could have got a midfield general who would have probably got them promoted into the first division. Their policy, but probably someone elses fault, always shooting themselves in the foot aren't they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 The post website has just put up a list of improvements the mem will see this weekend and the coming months.
