It has been suggested that we could do with having a thread for members who want to know various facts about Bristol City football club and/or players etc. I have agreed to try and fill this role so if you have questions about the club I will do my best to find the answers for you. Later on when the matches start I will also be trying to do a post match Thread about the game and what the players scored according to different papers/tv etc. I will post more about this as I work out the best way to do it. I will also try and find links for anything Bristol City match related.

Sorry to have to report that at the moment there is nothing new in the offing about either redevelopment of Ashton Gate, Planning approval is being asked for in September and the 'New' Stadium at Ashton Vale is waiting on the Judicial review starting in October. All a bit of a pain I know but as and when anything new comes up I will report it unless someone else sees it first.

How about organising a BCFC contact directory, Management / Players / Board members / Club supporter liaison Officer/ Ashton Gate Stadium/ Ticket Office.. ect,ect.. Giving us E-mall / Twitter / Telephone-Contact numbers for each- Just an idea, what do you think..?
One of the main advantages of the higher academy status is that you get to play better Academies in the match ups that is the first I am looking into what other benefits, if any, at the moment to try and write something up on the changes to the academy if we progress up the rankings.
