Bristol City thread

Thanks, git!
No I'm not but I'm of the age where I probably could be.
Actually, I had some 'good' nights out in Weston during my youth!

In Weston? Are you sure?

10 years ago today we beat Rotherham 3-1 to head back to the Championship. Where's the time gone?

Whoops that was yesterday, still.

Remember that well, when Russell scored we could finally relax. Fond memories of that team.

 

[Ciderhead]

Two points and one place higher than last season. Progress. Come 2030 we'll be going up!

Not a fan of the upper Lansdown, that ledge I had to walk across was fucking hair raising

Long way up innit?

Long way up innit?

Yeah, I was nearly sick when this young kid stood and fell off his chair and landed on the concrete barrier

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

If City had scored I wouldn't of moved

What a great reception Cotts got mind chaps, absolutely hero.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Lee Johnson was licking there asses

Enjoyed that, he deserved it. And Tammy getting a bit emotional, he'll always be one of ours.

Props to Pack's kid as well he's cut from the same cloth. Lapping it up!

According to Jon Lansdown the home kit won't be released for a while, read a while ago we were supposedly wearing it yesterday?

Good, balanced article.

Interesting Lansdown mentions the Burton game as that was the point I lost faith. But fair play to him, he stuck to his guns and it's paid off.

Hopefully LJ can learn from his mistakes. And tbf he's spot on himself when he talks about perhaps overcoaching, trying to do too much make too many changes, when more consistency and continuity was required.

Always rejected the idea he's completely clueless because when we've been good we've been very good, and he's actually won more games than he's lost. And as the article says he's the youngest manager in the top 2 divisions. It's readily accepted a young player will improve and develop with time, why not a young manager?

Fair comment CH but not at the cost of relegation IMHO.
I was vociferous in my condemnation of LJ but I'll give him a chance now. If we're in trouble again by November I will probably be calling for his head again though!

 

[hodge]

His win record is just under 40% with us, if attaining of points were consistent so to say I doubt there would have been as many vociferous fans as there are, its just the fact we had an appalling middle patch in the season. He deserves the summer and to start the season without people hounding him, but I agree if come November/December and we're fighting off relegation again something will need to be done. He'll have the 3 transfer windows he suggested would be enough to see him build a squad where we should at least be mid table.

 

[HertsWolf]

Is there really nothing more to say on Bristol City??

 

[Ciderhead]

We've announced our first preseason friendly at Yeovil, will that be enough to keep you going for now?

I assume it's sold out already.

I assume it's sold out already.

Of course. With thousands of City descending on the home ends

Are we suddenly r*vers?
Torquay away as well now, we're not at all predictable are we?
Awaits Cheltenham, Bath City, WSM and FGR with baited breath.

With Stoke or West Brom at home as a 'marquee fixture'

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

The gas have west brom

 

[Ciderhead]

They'll probably be excited by that

 

[Ciderup]

Whoopee farkin' do!
Where do I queue for tickets?
Actually, scrub that, I'm on holiday for 2 weeks before the season starts so will probably miss it anyway, thankfully.

 

[Ciderup]

They'll probably be excited by that

25,000 with at least the same locked out. As 26,000 (at Wembley) has been gassified to 50,000, I'm sure 9,000 will mean 25,000 in gas speak.

It's already sold out.

Franchise FC have released Nicky Maynard

 

[JoshBCFC]

Good waste of space he is, I was right all along

Definitely wouldn't have called him a waste of space when he was on loan, he was brilliant! This season he was quite poor to be fair, but he still did score 7 goals, which definitely isn't that bad of a record for an attacking midfielder.
