Guest leepeacock's50phead Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 lets not be naive about this, the reason Cirty are getting coverage on national radio has everything to do with with us being the 'surprise package' of the season thus far which makes us an interesting team to report on.I'm not going to write to anyone to thank them for reporting on the 2nd placed team in the championship.people who have been on holiday have chosen not to be at Ashton Gate as have those who have decided to move abroad.I can only imagine that these people have paid for world if they are that interested anyway.

Never to the dark side Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Okay, lets look at City world, how many times have we seen failed connection comments etcI have seen ALL of Citys league matches this season home and awayHolidays, I normally have a week in Spain in jan/feb do I not come into the equation of wanting(and thanking the BBC/ITV/sky etc) for giving us extra coverage whilst on holiday?ex-pats refers to those away from Bristol and i the U.K. more than those who live now in EuropeFinally please consider those LESS fortunate than your self who maybe living in BristolWho maybe short of funds minor domestic commitment(baby sitter not turning up)at work/college/school or driving for a livinghospitalised, confined to bed at home with an illnesssome one who suffers a visual impairmentor may have mobilty difficultiesNever assume every one is fit and active and has plenty of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixit Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 One reason that this match is on Five Live Sports Extra is that the producer tonight is a Charlton fan. We were both hoping to get to the gate for this one but we're working.I'm off for a drink with him at fulltime so don't expect a lot of post match summing up from Leroy!
