Dominic Mohan is a city fan, he's the editor of the sun. Always pisses me off that they always do snippets on us. Why don't he pull rank and make them do good read ups on us?
Well I did just google this article about him in the Guardian From 2009 New Sun editor gets his Bristols out Signs today that new Sun editor Dominic Mohan is already exerting his influence. Gail Porter writes about her hair loss on page 50 of today's paper, a piece accompanied by a panel of five famous baldies, including Matt Lucas, Partick Stewart and - inevitably - Duncan Goodhew. However, one of them - John Shaw, 55 - isn't really that famous at all. He was Bristol City's goalkeeper in the Eighties when, the Sun recalls, the club "fell into the old Division Four after becoming the first English football team ever to suffer three successive relegations". Guess which football team Mohan, a Bristolian, supports?
http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/20130605-odriscollsummer-856202.aspx I think S O'D is preparing us for the fact that Kilkenny and Fontaine are likely to be with the club this season as there has been little speculation about either of them being wanted by other clubs.
The Bristol Post Follow By ANDY STOCKHAUSEN BRISTOL City's long search for a dominant right-sided centre-back will finally end when Aden Flint signs at Ashton Gate next week. League One rivals Swindon Town have accepted a bid of £300,000 for the 23-year-old defender, who had a year left to run on his County Ground contract. Flint has agreed personal terms with the Robins and will be in BS3 to undergo a medical examination next Tuesday or Wednesday. And he will meet his new team-mates when City report back for pre-season training on Monday, June 24. Flint will be head coach Sean O'Driscoll's second summer signing and follows former Arsenal midfielder Jordan Wynter through the door at Ashton Gate. The transfer represents a moral victory for City's board of directors, who held firm when Swindon attempted to extract extra money. City's initial offer of £200,000 was rejected by the Wiltshire club, who were holding out for £500,000. Swindon wanted City to cover the costs of the 20 per cent sell-on fee negotiated with Alfreton when Flint moved to the County Ground in 2011, but eventually gave way and accepted a second bid of £300,000, including add-ons. At 6ft 5ins, Flint fulfils City's long-standing requirement for a dominant, first-ball-winning centre-half. The last player of that type to don a City shirt was Jamie McCombe, a key figure in the side that won promotion from League One in 2007 and made the Championship play-off final at Wembley 12 months later. Eventually sold to Huddersfield, McCombe has not been replaced by a like-for-like centre-back until now. O'Driscoll has followed the former England C international's career since he started out with Alfreton in the Conference in 2008 and City's head coach feels Flint is a developing player who is open to further improvement. Certainly, he meets City's recently-imposed criteria for players under the age of 24 who are affordable. A physically-imposing defender, Flint scored four goals in 63 appearances for Swindon, including one in last season's League One play-off semi-final against Brentford, and will provide City with the kind of aerial threat from set-pieces not seen since McCombe departed. Bristol City will face Championship promotion favourites Reading in their only home pre-season friendly prior to the 2013-14 campaign. The Robins will take on Nigel Adkins' recently-relegated Royals at Ashton Gate on Wednesday, July 24 (7.45pm). It will be the penultimate pre-season fixture for Sean O'Driscoll's side before embarking on League One football and City's head coach describes games against Reading and Bournemouth (July 27) as "a good way to end pre-season." He added: "We play a team that have come down from the Premier League in Reading and arguably the best team in League One last season, Bournemouth, in the days leading up to the first league fixture. "Nigel rang me up and asked for the friendly at Ashton Gate and we were pleased with the opportunity." Tickets for the game will be priced £10 (adults) and £5 (concessions). More details about when they will go on sale will follow in due course. City's other pre-season dates include trips to Clevedon (July 6) and Forest Green Rovers (July 20). There is still scope for another potential friendly on Saturday, July 13.

Hogan Ephraim would be a good signing for us but can't see it somehow unless it is another loan spell
06 Jun 2013 13:40:57 Derby County looking into signing Albert Adomah from Bristol City for and estimated 2 Million Pounds.
Do we need Hogan Ephraim? Don't think we do. Elliott Kilkenny Pearson Reid Wynter If we are going to get another CM in we have to make sure 100% that he will better the team. Ephraim didn't leave that great of an impression
Ephraim is 10 times the player Kilkenny is/was/ever will be, mind you that's not hard I know plus isn't he as happy playing wide? Then Anderson to the right Ephraim to the left Bryan at LB because I think Cunningham could well be off I can't see NPC or even lower Prem clubs leaving him alone in a crap defence only he and Moloney looked any good, If he hadn't been injured things just might not have got as bad as they did.
07 Jun 2013 08:56:12 Adriano Basso will Train/Trial with Bristol City this pre-season with a view to earning a contract to become BCFCs number one next season
No thank you he screwed us properly before I could see him doing it again. Plus he is what 38/39 has hardly played for 3 years and never dominated his box which is what we need now, would be one of the worst signings we could make.
Adriano Basso and Lee Camp will trial for Bristol City FC during Pre-Season If that's the case that Lee Camp has been released by Norwich then there is no point in Basso turning up too old and hardly played for 3 years and no team wanted to keep him after he signed for them that tells you all you need to know he wasn't as good as he thought/thinks he was.
