    Now is the time for all good supporters to come to the aid of the club the more supporters that stick with the club now the faster we will recover we have dropped into League One again but it's not the end of the world to paraphrase Arnie ' Look out Championship We'll Be Back'

    Always think?? When reading things like this.What does it mean? You can buy a season ticket and moan like #### or be unable to attend regularly due to kids and expense and sing at the top of your voice.

    Are some of the really "good" fans in the true sense of the word "fan" the ones the club might consider difficult or even bad?

    Yes. The more clubs keep changing often it makes them less engaging for those who think traditions are good things. Can't help but think things like the star trek kit which was done only for money is a bit ****.

    Spot on - unless we go to matches the clubs available pot of cash for wages will be lower

    The problem is (as with all clubs) is that a third of the support tend to be a bit fair-weather - however, if we are winning games in League 1 they will come

    My biggest complaint is that we didn't make the most of the unbelievable opportunity we had to get back to the big time at the end of our first season back at this level.

    The club management made some unforgivable mistakes in the Transfer Window of January of 2008 when promotion was there for the taking for any team that was willing to have a punt and a real go. We bottled it in the players we brought in and the change to our play which had served us so well for the first 5 months of the season.

    I think that you are the first to point out that fact angelic and it often made me wonder why it wasn't done at the time and if my memory serves me correctly were we not within a hairs width of getting automatic promotion late in the season? I went to see the Colchester game that season and was shocked by our lack of effort, and after we drew the game we were level top and I could not quite understand how with what we had on the pitch.

    Hindsight is wonderful and now we have to deal with League One unfortunately and my schedule will certainly include 2 games next season, a rare event indeed, some time during late November and the end of March on my visit prior to my winter in the Canaries

    During my time on this board I have often been blasted for my rants on how Bristol City have consistently got it wrong but now I have renewed my commitment to the cause and hope that next season I can see a major shift in emphasis from the board to show their beleagured supporters that finally they mean business. Only a renewed commitment on their behalf will convince me that we are headed back to respectabilty and that is the only way that they will regain my respect.

    As a secondary thought, how is the banter between our mods and the public relations side of BCFC working out? Haven't seen much on that front for a while.
