Anyone seen Bristol City’s new training/performance centre? Looks good. I’m not sure what their backing looks like financially, but it’s about time that City had a decent team again. Could be interesting if they have good backing and start getting the behind the scenes stuff correct.

I don’t know much about their ownership.

Stephen Lansdown is the owner, a billionaire who made his money in financial services. Seems really committed to the club and the city and isn't shy about pumping money in. He's well thought of in the city
 
Combination of awful refereeing and the weakness of VAR in th Man City game. Bellingham tackles keeper but before he can pass into the empty net the ref blows for a foul. Replay shows 100% not a foul but because ref blew before ball crossed the line it couldn't be reviewed.

Why would the ref not just let him finish? So dodgy.

Well it's not dodgy it's just very bad refereeing.
