Brum Red Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Not sure how this one slipped through the net… After their much-lauded Pirates Pot venture failed to attract enough entrants to generate an actual winner, the recipient of the second-highest prize (an impressive £50) in the first draw turned out to be one of their star defenders. That’s one way to save on the wage bill… 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think this season would have proved to them how far ahead of them we are in terms of player quality. Hunt wasn’t good enough for us 2 and a half years ago & Martin wasn’t good enough for us a year ago. Both are probably their best players this season. Their recruitment strategy in the summer should be to look at any player City have released in the last 18 months and pray they’ll agree to join. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Just looked at the table and it must be wrong. 12 points off 6th?? For the greatest squad ever assembled?? “Next season, beware” indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I see it's 40 years ago today that we had our famous FA cup tie at Eastville. The 1 nil down, 2-1 up game. One of the best away days that marked the end of our tragic slump and the start of our steady rise back up......... which is still going, steadily. 7 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Seems they are waking up - well, a few anyway. The comments from the whopper writing the second sentence is typical. "and of course the most pertinent question very much unanswered, there is about ten to fifteen seats with a decent view, what on earth were you thinking? Do we really have to accept this pile of girders as “progress?” Okay two questions then oh and a third can I have my money back for my five season tickets please, no one would choose seats with restricted of a view. End rant sorry" "My understanding, well reading anyway, is that the FM was still possible but a long time off so with the SAG reductions something had to give. The result was a 'temporary' stand, temporary as in construction time and materials. Now that the FM is off the table, the next step is East and North, which will be around 5-6,000 and 3-4,000 respectively. That'll take us to around 16-17,000 then the owners will take stock. The next step could be the West and then possibly another look at the South. Final capacity could be closer to 20,000 but still a way off yet, if ever. I'd also turn over the majority of the South Stand to away fans once the East and North are completed. Plenty enough for us as a top half L1, bottom half Championship team imo." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Just noticed that a long standing fan of the Gas has passed away. RIP Dave Shield. Apparently, he played for the same skittles team as Steve Lansdown - can't imagine SL playing skittles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
