Was the criteria based on atmosphere or how many tents you have as stands? Otherwise there is no way on earth the mem can be considered better than Ashton Gate. Think there are many factors that measure the enjoyment of visiting a particular stadium not least the passion of the fans, location, originality, and so on. It's interesting to note that the top 3 score heavily on the afore mentioned passion of fans and that they are grounds of the more traditional type. Just because something is new and shiny does not qualify it as a 'special' place , The 'new' Wembley is ,imho. a soulless concrete heap among other like minded heaps whereas The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is a much more enjoyable experience , so yes Ashton is nice, i have watched rugby there, but it is not unique in any way and mirrors countless other modern stadiums, an accusation you can't level at The Mem! See also, the Emirates stadium for Arsenal. Lovely on the eye inside and out but the atmosphere is incredibly poor for such a club steeped in history, silverware and some of the biggest names to have ever played the game. Each of my half dozen visits since it’s opening have been as bad, if not worse, than the last. The place cannot touch Highbury.

Sh1!heads throwing bottles at players again Surely repercussions have to happen - shame they aren’t made to play behind locked doors to exacerbate their financial position

You do start to wonder if they could go down you know. Barnsley look gone (how is Adeboyejo getting minutes at that level?!). Derby are 17 points behind City but have momentum. Peterborough aren't great but who knows, neither are City.

I dont take much notice of the red tops. But there are a few articles around saying that the days of the 80's hooligan culture is raising its head again in the form of the recreational stuff combined with beer. (Beer has always been part of the game, but not the other stuff.) I hope that we dont go down this route. I love the atmosphere in the Blackthorn (Im old skool). I hope that we are all safe to watch a game, without if you believe the press the idiots that are returning our game back to the dark ages Are you talking about nasal fortitude? If so, it’s been part of football supporter culture and drinking culture for 20 years. Find me a pub full of young to middle aged men on a Friday and you’ll get a bag within about 10 minutes. It’s everywhere, at all levels of society. Generally the football fans stuff will be so cheap and nasty it’s basically advanced caffeine to keep them awake enough to drink more. Read about it online. In summary, Coca Cola doesn’t make people become hooligans. Being a low status, low intelligence man, or young with high testosterone does. Millions of people toot every weekend without assaulting people. It’s a result of poor upbringing, mainly. I am not defending it, these days I think it’s about the most unimaginative way to spend your time when you could be doing constructive things, and I’m not arguing for its legalisation or whatnot, but the idea it’s driving hooliganism just isn’t true. It might make them a bit more likely to do something stupid but it isn’t turning churchgoers into CSF fire breathers.

“Bristol City’s Accounts and Finances” thread… click to have a read and now understand the two sides to the theories around football hooliganism and the Friday night usage of Bolivian Marching Powder but have no idea about Lansdowns accounting at the Sh1t 🤣

Apparently Lansdown has lost all his money on a drug deal gone bad and is now looking to recoup some of it through a pay-per-view fight with Wael.

When are our accounts due?
If we held the AGM recently, presumably the loses will be revealed soon. Gulp!

The whole structure of football is bound to come crashing down at some point. The billionaires at the top of the game have made it unsustainable. The gap between the big clubs and the small just get bigger and bigger each year. The problem is, if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. How many of us pay for Sky Sports/BT Sports/Amazon and watch premiership football. My guess would be around the 80-90% of us on the forum. This was a pretty good example of this back in 2018: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44850888

However, there really should be a system in place that filters down through all the lower leagues from the obscene ammount of money involved in the Premiership. No idea what or how, but it can't be that difficult can it? As for FFP, that's a joke.
