I've not read any of the early stuff on this thread. To summarise, an upgrade on Massengo?

Well he’s got pace and can actually shoot, so a very good start!

Looks like the sort of player who’ll have the skills to get us fans out of our seats.  Really exciting signing

Says his name is Dave?

Ah there we are then.

Photo taken with Trotter Towers behind, Trigger used to call Rodney Dave, so could that mean the new player is called Rodney ……. or Dave??  

Anyone know a Rodney or Dave that’s any good, with a birthaday that fits anything on that combination lock???

That's Ashton Gate not the football club.

I'm guessing an ELO concert 

Well, that would certainly ease the disappointment for me if this deal didn’t actually happen!!!

Reports coming in that members of the heirarchy have opened the roof and are now jumping off it. 

So Bcfc24 was right after all …. Who’d have thought it!

Oh no, let’s hope the heirachy haven’t got so panicked that they’re going to do something stupid

I agree, surely it makes sense, given the size of their Memorial Grounds footprint to turn the pitch 90degrees, and they'll then have an existing stand behind a goal with executive boxes (D), terracing (C) running pretty much down the length of the pitch, and then two areas (see A and B) to have room to build two stands.

They could easily do a Gillingham down one side of the pitch and just erect temporary seating, thus allowing them to stay in the stadium, whilst building a decent home end(A) with flats\housing\executive boxes - or whatever they want.

Would be a decent capacity as well.

 

Just think, if they start pitching up bigger tents to increase capacity, there’s more for the wind to get behind, especially with their gormless fans lurching through the guy ropes.

Before you know it, on the next blustery day, they could have the main stand flapping down Gloucester Rd!

Would be a great laugh, so hope they go for it

Not necessarily. Could be a "goodbye" game for him. Been there a good while. 

 

Could be, though unusual to risk a possible injury.  

Guess it could also be an indication of how much Luton want to keep him, that they’d risk that possibility I suppose.

Starts for Luton today.

Looks like we can cross him off the list then.

Was there a £12m bid from Palace or did I misread/imagine it?

Exactly what I was thinking, but then wondered if that was just rumour, rather than a real bid.

Guess we’ll have an answer in the next few hours if Palace don’t come back.

Is it less important to measure time spent sprinting, instead look at how fast and in which direction?

E.G. Ivan Sproule vs Southampton - nearly broke the sound barrier, but nearly ended up down the Atyeo tunnel.

Now that must be the closest City have ever been to putting a shirt on a headless chicken!

Sounds like the popular concensus is, get it on charge asap and contact the club.  

If the owner has already contacted the club, they’ve probably left their contact details, in case it gets found during cleaning of the stadium before the next match.

Does seem strange if the person who lost it hasn’t already tried ringing it though.

But as was proved, not good enough in 2006 to retain a place in the City team. He was desperately disappointing. I'd have loved him to succeed. 

You seem slightly confused about MS's exploits at Yeovil. He wasn't at the club in 2012-13 when they got promoted to the Championship. In fact, he'd retired from the field by then. He didn't rejoin Yeovil as a coach until last year. 

There is one man who you've disparaged who was at the club when they achieved their highest-ever league position though, Gary Johnson. 

Got to say, this Deluded Sag character is a bit special.

I’m starting to get this picture of some nutter in a crowded room and losing multiple arguements, who finally gives up and leaves the room.  

Next minute, they open the door again and shout “and anothing thing” before getting shot down in flames yet again!

I agree, they are more own goals than open goals though, no real effort required.

Which is why this thread shows no signs of running out of steam.  The gift that forever keeps giving!

I assume the reason that our @Deluded Sag friend feels the need, and indeed has the ability, to recall these little victories is because they have been so few and far between over the years.

As this shows, they have a 27.1% win rate over us compared to our 45.79%. It's no wonder we have more difficulty in recalling all our victories over the years.

This deluded sag just typifies their pathetic fanbase.  Although they have piss poor crowds, all their efforts go into infesting social media with their drivel, rather than actually supporting their club.

I’ve seen a load of stuff on Facebook recently, where they just blitz anything related to City There was even a link yesterday for a job fair at the Gate, which just had a photo of the stadium as the venue, with no mention of the club and was just an advert for the fair.  

The comments section was completely infested by bitter sags, with the only reference to jobs being, they’d rather be unemployed than go to a job fair at the Gate!

They have the cheek to claim they aren’t obsessed with us, but still manage to find something as obscure as a job fair to spout their shit.  They really seem desperate to give their pathetic little tinpot club some kind of relevance, but are failing dismally.

Total bunch of arseholes and would love to see them and their shite club crash and burn.

Yep and reckon the next name change should be Saggy Member …… appears to have shot his load and has little else to offer!

Rovers were actually regarded very well by the local community in Twerton, who were sorry to see them leave. I've always seen Barf as Rovers territory for this reason. 

Rovers were equally sorry to leave, as Twerton was the scene of numerous famous victories over ci*y, including the glorious 3-0 victory that confirmed us as champions of what is now L1. However, the 4-0 hammering will always have a special place in my heart. 

Course you were, just like you’re loved by clubs and supporters all over the country …… in your own heads!

If you were so popular with the people in Bath, it isn’t far away, so why haven’t they followed you over to the Minimal??

If you ever needed an example of why you shouldn’t write a player off to quickly, Zac has to be it.

He’s proved a lot of us fans wrong and become someone you’re really happy to see on the teamsheet.

Massive well done and respect to the bloke.

Is the top one a singletons club? Facing towards Babestation at the end of the room with a table to hide how excited they are with either the TV or the bloke in front with either the words “Lambert” or “Windass” printed on the back of their quartered clown shirts 

Yes, that’s the one.
The photo must have been taken after Babestation had been turned off and they’d had a chance to clear up all the tissues that had been ‘tossed’ under the tables

Hey decent try though Desso, but you’ve had a couple crackers in fhe past, so set the bar pretty high!

With the Bears playing on Friday and a widespread frost forecast, the pitch might not be very good on Saturday. 

Plus, I hate those rugby lines showing on the pitch, it makes it look like a 1st or 2nd division stadium. Wish SL would build a separate stadium for the rugby and just use Ashton Gate for the important stuff.

Ahh, I just remembered, you aren’t actually a clueless muppet, your our resident occasional pop-up wum, aren’t you

Think you’ll find frost makes the pitch hard, so more likely to cause a postponement than a quagmire.

As for the Bears, if Mr Lansdown finds £50m+ down his sofa that he wants to blow for no foreseeable financial gain, then you may get your wish!
