It was awful. I'd woken up with a stinking hangover to get the coach at something like 8am (if I recall, it was an early kickoff and a bubble match so no independent travel) only to witness that. Then on the way back, I was sat next to some little chav who kept throwing bits of paper at me as I...
Yeah. By a group led by the former Eastleigh owner. Be interesting to see how that works out. It might take a while to shake off the losing mentality. Still think Wilder would be mad to leave a club he's moving in the right direction for the unknown in the division below.
Fulham are the best team out of that lot by miles, but who knows what effect missing out on the last day will have on their mentality. I'd still back them to win it and I hope they do.
Salford born and bred, but my grandad went to Bristol for a meeting once and after seeing them on TV against Wycombe in 1995, I was hooked. Some people scold me for not supporting my local team and being a gloryhunter, not even being able to point to Bristol on a map but I don't give a shit...
I've never had much time for them, and they do seem to have a number of EDL type ruffian fans, obviously a minority but they seem more prominent there.
Got to say we've done well with the teams coming down. Stoke is a game with an edge, WBA is an easy away day for us and we'll probably get...
Amazing to think that 41 points could guarantee survival this year. Just a few years ago, Peterborough got to 54 and still went down.
I think Bolton will beat Forest, Barnsley will draw and Burton will lose, sending the latter two down. Although I'd like them both to stay up and for Bolton and...
Nothing personal against any MK Dons fans and I think it's silly not to have moved on all this time.. but let's face it, AFCW ending up a division above the club that stole their league place is a wonderful story of karma and poetic justice and one that most football fans are going to enjoy...
it will be the most Bristol City thing ever to scab a 1-0 win tomorrow and get everybody hoping again.. then we'll take a big following to Forest and be 3-0 down after 30 minutes or something stupid.
I'm inclined to agree with you. I like a lot of the things LJ has done here.. He's turned Reid and Bryan into fantastic players and looks like doing the same with Kelly and Vyner, and he's improved our league position massively but he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes. At best we...
Given everyone's erratic form, I think that 73 points will be enough for 6th spot. Which crazily, means that if we win all 3 we'll probably make it. Slim chance of that though as we haven't even managed back to back wins since December. Stranger things have happened I guess but realistically...
Right back in it! To be honest , I'd be almost embarrassed if we made it now after how utterly dreadful we've been for the last 3 months. Don't think we will but Saturday could make things interesting if we get a result.. at the very least let's end the season on a high.
We haven't had a shot on target in 180 minutes of football. I think we'll struggle to even finish 11th at this rate. Someone like Norwich or Leeds will probably overtake us if they have a good run because I can't see us getting any more than about 4 points.
I know we weren't fancied to be up...
Yes, well done to the Wolves. I can imagine there must be no better feeling in football than not only pissing this division but watching your arch rivals go the other way. Enjoy.
Millwall A L 1-2
Birmingham H D 1-1
Middlesbrough A W 2-1
Hull City H W 1-0
Nottm Forest A L 0-2
That might take it down to the last day if we are lucky.
It's just lacking in all of the things that make an away day good.. Soulless stadium, awful location, nothing to do nearby, poor atmosphere. The only plus is how easy it is to reach from Bristol.
Bittersweet that. Delighted that our fanbase is growing, disappointed that our fans have caved in and not stood up to the sheer greed from Ashton and co. Easier said than done though I suppose.
