Do you guys use a free service or pay? Anything you’d particularly recommend? I find windscribe very fast and reliable, you get 1gb free I think, after that if you continue you have to sign up. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hypothetically, if I were ever to use a VPN (rather than fly to Germany every other weekend... ), I would only switch it on while first turning on the feed, and then turn it straight off again, in order to not use much of the free GB allowance. 1 Quote Link to comment
flying fokker Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, Mr Popodopolous said: That is from Autumn 2022. Yeh, but I’d seen some stats of around 1142 recently. The trend nowadays is for more fans to travel. BCFC season has been good This article paints a better picture https://fanbanter.co.uk/average-away-attendance-of-every-championship-club-for-2023-24-season-so-far-21st-november/2/ Also, this backs up your comment with info up to 8 away games for Bristol.. 12) BRISTOL CITY They have an average away attendance of 1,935 for the 2023/24 season after 8 away games played. The total amount of travellers for the club sits at 15,476, the highest is 3,305 while the lowest is 404. The Championship average amount of miles is 158.4, for Bristol City, their average across a full season is 159.

The average away attendance for Bristol City for the 2019/20 season was 1,171. They had 1,061 for the 2018/19 season. Edited January 29 by flying fokker Quote Link to comment
Tony Tootle Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Callum O’hare very much the danger man for them. No coincidence his return from a long spell out injured has coincided with their return to the form of last season. Fantastic player at this level. Quote Link to comment
elhombrecito Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Not the longest distance in the league, but considerably further to travel than Coventry... 1 Quote Link to comment
Porto Red Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Slightly odd the apparent obsession with our away stats from a supposed Coventry fan. This is not something we remotely have a complex about (unlike the blue few), we are well aware that we don't travel in great numbers these days to anything other than marquee occasions, largely because we've been floating in mid table in this division for several millennia now and there's nothing new to see. 2 Quote Link to comment

CliftonCliff Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 3 hours ago, CodeRed said: I would never use a VPN but a " friend" uses windscribe ( as recommended by our own Davfevs) , simple to download, there's a free version which allows you to stream about 4 games a month if you don't start until just before ko and log off at FT. The pay version is from memory about £50-£60 per year and is unlimited. Once you have downloaded windscribe an icon will appear on your desktop/ or phone...you can load it on both ......open the app, turn it on and set the location to anywhere outside of the UK eg Frankfurt., then sign in to Bristol Sport and RTV and the game will be available to buy. The game appears on RTV about 30 mins before ko, click on the screen not the white play arrow and it should start playing. That’s really, really helpful. Thanks so much for going to the trouble. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment

While there are plenty of decisions that Steve can be pulled up on, I don't think our capitulation that season can be put on him. That home game was ours to win and even after they scored we were bossing the game , Fielding's rush of blood cost that game and we lost 4 and drew 4 of the next 9. Looking at the squad, and remember Lansdown wasn't involved in scouting or buying , we had plenty of options. Now whether they were the right ones (no IMO) is another matter. Matt Taylor , Engval , Djuric , Fam , Woodrow , Diony , Reid and Semenyo and don't forget Garita . We had Eliasson , ODowda , Patterson , Kent and Leko. There were options then, too many as it was prime LJ time. Remember , by figures alone Diony had gone to St Etienne for £10M , what a signing that looked like 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 A cup run, whilst very welcome, can sap the legs of players and supporters alike. Life gets in the way sometimes for fans and a small squad can start to bite on performances. Could do without this game at the moment IMO. Quote Link to comment

Albeit we had no excuse in 2007-08 and we had less of an excuse in 2018-19 given we were perhaps a midfielder light and maybe a striker. (Korey- recurring injuries, Hegeler retired mid season). Left realistically as true midfielders Pack, Brownhill, Morrell, Walsh. Not enough.. Another midfielder could have enabled us to play Weimann centrally as the line striker and not play Pack and Brownhill into the ground. Pack A N Other Brownhill Paterson Eliasson Weimann For a number of games that could've served us quite well. Or Paterson left, Brownhill central, O'Dowda right side for some.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Sykes I expect out until mid February, maybe a bit sooner Middlesbrough away or Southampton at home could be a return date. Nottingham Forest away maybe? Idk. Quote Link to comment

This just feels like square pegs and round holes and vice versa to fit an idealised shape of Manning really. Knight wideish but bit wholly, McCrorie suddenly at CB. Sykes back to wing back? Sure he can do a job but..that's assuming he is even fit obvs. Quote Link to comment

Silvio Dante Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 It’s a bit difficult see us getting much out of this one considering Coventrys form, our current inability to create clear cut chances and as has been said, the come down post cup game which saw in part a poor Preston performance. This is one of a batch of four games we could really struggle in, and although not season defining (we’re safe and not going up), will define LMs start to his City tenure. I stand by that 4 points from the next 4 isn’t a bad haul (dependant on how they’re earnt stylistically in part) but that would be 20 points from 17 games, and coming in at around a goal a game currently. With season ticket sales likely around the corner I’m not sure that would convince waverers. It feels we’re coming to enough of a sample size to start judging where we are with LM being in charge for over 1/3 of the season after the next batch. Hoping for positive signs on a consistent basis, while noting it is in no way going to be easy. Quote Link to comment
