Just out of interest, in those 30 years since we signed Tillson, how much have City spent and how far has it got them in terms of league position? We’re in one of the worlds toughest leagues where the teams relegated from the premier league have a massive financial advantage over teams like ours. You could argue we should have done better, but we’re competing with clubs who have far more resources than us and we’ve more than held our own over the last several years. Rovers on the other hand have been consistently outperformed by the likes of Forest Green, Burton, Accrington and Fleetwood. I don’t think you’re in a place to be asking us these questions old chap!

You’re a below average team in a poor division that leaks goals for fun against the better sides. We are prone to leak goals the way we play, but out of those 'better sides' only Derby took advantage. I'm not saying we're going up or even finish top half, but we ARE good to watch and I would give us a chance against anyone atm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just imagine you conceding three to Barnsley and Pompey and six to Lincoln then? Ipswich also beat you comfortably. Looking alright against the likes of Cheltenham and Burton doesn’t make you a good team, even by that divisions poor standards.

A playoff final (4th) & we’re currently on our longest consecutive run of Championship football since the 70s. That win over Man U wasn’t too bad, either. Pretty sure one year all 3 sides from League One who got promoted went straight back down, it’s a brutal league. If you do ever manage to get back (1992/3 the last time, wasn’t it?) you’ll find that out soon enough, particularly if you’re still playing in a ground that doesn’t even hold 10,000.

Super Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 From Barton Q- I believe 50 Gasheads made the trip. The World Cup is on, everything costs a lot at the minute. That is an unbelievable effort from those fans, isn’t it? A- Superb. We put strong teams out in the competition. We're going to need our fans if we get an away tie or a home tie in this competition because we want to get to Wembley. It's a three-game carrot at the end of it and it would be nice to take 40-odd-thousand Gasheads to Wembley again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The myth perpetuates. Mind you, Bristol Live & Radio Bristol still trot out that blue “half” of Bristol lie, so they aren’t exactly blameless.

That 4th place in 2008 put us 24/92 in English football that season. And we've finished higher in the "92" or the pyramid in our history than that, more than ten times. Their highest ever finish in the 92/pyramid was in 1956 and 1959 when they managed 6th in the old Second Division, but that was when there were 22 in the top division meaning the Few's highest 92/pyramid finish is 28/92. Same as we managed under LJ in 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
