Yep, still waiting for mine,
Had the standard email from Pete blaming Royal Mail on 22nd September
Absolute shambles
Probably too much going on in the background to really act on this with speed. Goodness me you're really going to town on this conspiracy aren't you? Give it a rest.

Interesting point made towards the end of the pod about our performance this season compared to the season Garner got sacked. Even if we win on Saturday, we will still have fewer points than Garner did after the same number of games when he got the boot: I guess the difference being what happened in the previous 6 months. JB has credit in the bank to get us going again and push on, Garner had us in free fallš Plus he took over an established L1 side who were sitting in the top, what was it, 5?! And completely destroyed it! Canāt compare the two at all imo.

Calling it now ā¦ā¦ this bloke is going to be overhyped. More so the longer heās unavailable. Heās another completely unknown element isnāt he, it could easy go well as it could go bad, but we did sign a good proven league 1 goal scorer in JM and thatās not gone well so far. So Iām quite up for seeing what this kid could bring to the table. Iām a fan of a gamble personally lol Utg Not sure how this is a gamble or an unknown element tbh. The guy scored 5 in 22 appearances at Championship level - most as a substitute.

Hi KP, interesting comment although it's time to spell out what we are missing. No need to give names or sources but we deserve a bit more than a few tit bits. No, although would ve happy to meet you then tell you. I have no time for the pages of sycophantic and self interested content. The first and important move has been made, in Jennings appointment. Pm me and i can give you my details. I wonāt send by pm either as I prefer email , which is encrypted so no copying and pastingĀ Not sure what is more ridiculous, the total nonsense conspiracy theories or the claim you canāt copy and paste from an email!

Whatās that got to do with anything. Heās employed a CEO, who writes program notes for each game which then get shared on Twitter (IMO in a poor way Iāll give you that - blink and youāll miss them) So, to be clear, the complete silence from WAQ plus the continued addition of Bartons men, means nothing, rightĀ Why talk for the sake of talking. Wael appointed a CEO who DOES speak to the fans, regularly. As for ācontinued addition of Bartonās menāā¦ how terrible that our owner is backing the manager! Whatever next!

How anybody can question the ability and performances of Belly is imo ridiculous; he is top class. Alfie bless him does his best; however, when fit and available Joey intends to play Thomas, Gibson and Connolly, Alf will then be back warming the bench. All the Sunday morning managers on here, doing the usual, "don't like Joey, we no better routine", hold your nerve, Joey delivered last term, and I will not be surprised if he keeps BRFC in division 1 this season. This. We just got back into L1, it was never going to be plain sailing. It's taking a bit of time to settle down and we have a horrendous injury list (and we faced similar last season). Trust the process.

Hoole and Finely had a stinker. Weāre a side very much finding our feet still and the big moments just arenāt going for us.
Thought we came out pretty strong second half and felt optimistic we might just get something, but yet another effort from outside the box gets stuck in.
Gotta wise up at the back, and get some key players back from injury.
Not to mention the two red cards. Nightmare.

Totally baffled by that decision tbh. I just don't get the necessity at all.

Honestly think itās pretty silly to cancel this weekends games.
Nightclubs, pubs etc will be open. Plenty of people drunk in the city centre come midnight.
Yet god forbid a football gets knocked about. š¤·āāļø

I mean, it isn't no - but at the same time, he is a custodian of this football club - and one with a "reputation" to boot. I'd just rather he didn't if I'm honest. What were your thoughts on DCās āprint that b*stardā speech while watered up at the pub? (Genuinely interested)

Whoever thought this idea up needs the sack so they can go work somewhere else where they actually need a rebrand I actually think the general response shows it was worthy of a survey.

I at least like to believe that one rather key part of our identity is a fiery rivalry with the other Bristol club.
Having one of their players in our squad is a total non starter.
Sod that.
Rivalry in football is one of the things that makes it so unique and enjoyable.
It was a disgrace that Trollope brought in John Akinde at the time.

No more quarters on the back of the shirt and now this. Wait till next year when we're playing in red. Heard a rumour weāll be playing in a black & white kit and changing our name to the Bristol Badgers . Cmon you badgers!

It's a terrible idea, totally unnecessary.
It has obviously been written to get clicks, controversy gets eyeballs.
The writer can't really lose on this one.

Happy to explore new options, as long as one of the options is genuinely "leave as is". Personally see no harm in seeing if we can come up with something better. This is exactly how I feel. I definitely think we should look into it though, our current badge has some very basic errors. EG. We must be the only "crest" in the country that doesn't centrally align properly (because the sword sticks out). Looks so bad on TV/apps etc. I don't hate it at all - but it does look quite dated and it very much feels like a... "well, it'll do" for me atm. I've filled out the survey and I would be interested for the club to explore going in hard on the pirates, skull and crossbones angle. If we were bold and went in properly on that I do think we have the potential of a real brand there that could be incorporated into a lot of the matchday experience etc. But it won't work if we don't go in hard on it and half-ass it.

Great to have someone in charge that "gets" what football really is all about.
(Popping the middle finger up at the home end, of course)

I know we all love Tom but there is a pattern of nothing working quite right when he meddles. Teething issues when trying to make moves forward are inevitable - it's nice to see us moving forward imo

I think Collins is probably viewed as dropping in to replace those three, in which case we're one down. With a striker of Coburn's calibre coming in I can't see Collins being up top much. That signing may just turn out to be the pick of the bunch, he has the potential to be one of the best strikers in this league imho. Which as our top scorer is worrying when he is put in a less forward role. Lets also not forget the defensive work done by our wide pkayers last season. Are this seasons wide men upto that ? TBH I still think Collins is playing pretty far forward - in fact he may find he gets more space in this role. I'm not against it.
