They are a club from a large City.

They have won a Watney Cup, a few yo-yo promotions (including one to return to the Football League after finishing second - and had an open top bus tour to celebrate) and the Longwell Green Sixes.

They’re forever being called Bristol City by anyone North of Yate.

Hardly a massive club….

More like a wet fart stain in the kegs.

Tinpot.

 

Actually I believe that is their club motto:-

“cacas nostra braccas”

Didn't you have a lad called Tammy on loan, who's goals saved you from relegation?

You’re not wrong, although we also made a permanent signing later that same season of a striker from a lower division club, who also made a massive contribution to us staying up.

So they decide to re-brand - fair enough. Many clubs, including us, have done this to keep pace with modern day marketing. 

So, as part of this re-brand & increase their global appeal (could they be more globally appealing..? Who knew..?!)... 

... Do they decide that being associated with a nickname that has a literal definition of a group who commit robbery & violence (at sea) 

Famous for Rape, Pilliage & plunder. 

Alternative meanings are those that illegally re-produce other peoples work - or, the slang definitions, which describe a man searching around for casual sex - or a pimp that steals a prostitute from another pimp.. 

Literally - only they could muster pride from such an association..! 

 

And as for the new badge... It does look like Ian Holloway has had his teeth capped and just looks utterly odd, without the lower jaw section included. 

Sheff Utd have blades as a tribute the the City's steel industry. 

Rovers have no reason for it other that to portray violence & illegal behaviour. 

 

Whoever was charged with design & re-branding for them must simply be something of a halfwit..! 

I'd finish that for you by changing just one word, the last one to f uckwit.

I actually thought it was designed by the same crayon eating cretin who had the brainwave of colouring in a whiteboard on their UWE tombola stand a few years ago

Arrogant bastards, they’re talking about Fleetwood who have been a league club longer than them.

Tinpot Fleetwood, bet they wish they could be as massive as da gert gas ?

Arrogant? I thought that’s what Ted’s are?

They’ve even referred to us as the family club?

Such a strange mob. Always talking about themselves in the 3rd person.

Hearing their sobs on Twentyman was a delight. The belter who tweeted that “it’s a fact that once stoppage time is announced no more stoppage time can be added” sums them up ???

I loved the excuse  "the officials have it in for us" the Barton effect he called it, fair play to Twentyman who said there had been equally baffling decisions from the officials at our game.

Undisputedly, a crowd of well over 40,000 squatters enjoying the luxurious amenities at their magnificent Phlemorial stadium.

If Heineken did Zombie Apocalypse . . . .

 

 

 

 

 

Would be better if Carlsberg did it, probably.

You're right. Thanks.

I have tried to edit that, but too late.

I blame this on being traumatised by all the walking dead in that video.

I suppose it explains the dead atmosphere.

We did, but I don't recall following it up the next season with the same. 

Ah, didn't realise that there was a "one season" rule. 

Not sure what the issue is here.  The majority of teams in League One have 3 or 4 players in on loan, a few teams have 5 loanees, Ipswich only have 1.  Rovers have 3 on loan, so are no different to their peers.

I was thinking exactly the same myself.

Even though its not very substantial the baseplates should be on sole boards or sills, the standards vertical or inclined slightly inward as opposed to outwards in this case - I wonder what might happen if the singer pushes outward on the end standard and its not properly coupled in at the top?

No front footboard protection and given its fairly lightweight I reckon it would only take one or two 'lifts' from the rear to topple the whole thing over.

Even by the low standards of the Post, that has to be one of the worst examples of so called journalism that I've ever seen in my life. Where do you even start?

You should read the one today by Sam Frost who could certainly get a job in North Korea if he’s ever unemployed.

Apparently their amazing fans are powering them to results like Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fleetwood & plucky Rovers, with their tiny budget are going toe to toe with all the divisions big hitters.

******* hell.

Back on planet earth they are actually 17th, a point above those giants Cambridge & 2 above moneybags Cheltenham Town.

To be fair though they look to be clear of Accrington, Forest Green, Morecambe & Burton, so why that Scouse thug hasn’t won back to back manager of the month awards is truly beyond me.

Why reduce your capacity?

I expect its to do with the time of the year with the wind blowing a half a dozen white plastic garden chairs all over the place. I expect Bob the gate man is too busy pocketing fivers to keep fetching the chairs. Either that or a stand has blown away.

I've read a little more about it apparently their initial reduction was due to SAG (insert jokes here) related issues. They certainly had to play with a reduced capacity following a pitch invasion or 2 early season.

Safety Advisory Group weren't happy with certain issues, however this is above and beyond, and a club led initiative.

Well I guess 11 is in excess of 12000.

Corrected for accuracy

Wasn't there a COVID related issue. I seem to remember that crowds over 10,000 would have extra restrictions and costs , when the grounds opened up again. I think that was when we had to had proof of vaccination and so extra staff/stewards.

That's all done with now I thought unless less advanced grounds, clubs cannot cope with the legacy of this. :)
