Lots on here worry about the debt the club has created but its nothing compared to the 82ers.
Bristol City holding company publishes its results and as grim as the football club itself.
Losses £24 million and total losses over the last 6 years total £94 million,
(I took the liberty of editing the thread title for people who don't want to read about the 82ers -AF)

Was a good evening(Thanks Football Index for all the free beers, feeling it a little the day after). Tommy W took some tough questions but was very honest and insightful. Sounds like he has a very professional team behind him scouting all levels and locations across England. Tom Lockyer spoke well. Was interesting to hear him talk about how certain 'nasty' social media posts can negatively effect the team, not nice to hear to be honest. Although the abuse side of last night has, quite rightly, got quite a lot of the attention on here, as a muck around central defender myself the TL section about playing for Wales was very interesting. Said he feels it is easier playing at that level as the game is played in front of him, rather than constantly trying to get behind him (r.g. long balls / long passes) and close to him. A good explanation of how some so-called average players at a certain level can fit in well at a higher level or even look better. That is something I've heard before but still it was great to hear it in real life from a real person. Also loved how he described how good mark mcchrystal was for him / his game / as Captain. BTW on a physical note, TL is pretty slim & light, which has relevance for the point above. Maybe he's suited to passing football more than attritional football. Thought this was a good post until I read the last sentence.

Reading some feed back on twitter this morning on the football Index evening at the Mem last night. Tom Lockyear and Tommy Widdrington taking questions,
TW said the regional scouts (yes we have some) have looked at over 350 different players and are still assessing 200 of them. So there is a lot of activity going on regards recruitment.
Good evening all round apparently shame I missed it.

Land for sale at Cribbs ? after government block proposed expansion.
Government policy now says city centres first for development in retail and entertainment,
could mean no arena at Filton as well.
Just need some enterprising company to come in and buy all that land from the hangers to the Mall enough land to build thousands of houses and a stadium.

Having a last minute meeting pop up on a Sunday for starters. I had my own business until recently and cant recall ever having a Sunday meeting, but if it was THAT important I am sure another family member with a bit more 'clout' could attend? We must remember Wael's day job is banking, that bank is based in Jordon and like the rest of the middle east the working week is actually Sunday to Thursday, with the weekend based around Friday & Saturday, so having a meeting on a Sunday for them is like having a meeting on Monday for us.

I think the new sponsorship's are great, makes a change to have nationally identified companies - football index have over 156,000 followers on twitter alone, its bound to raise our profile, well done Tom. For those that don't like it and pine for the old amateur days with mates making a mess, go forth and multiply.

So now we have a President who is going to be spending more time on club affairs, a new CEO starting this summer, a chairmen and a very good commercial director, something BIG must be coming or the previous lot were over worked.

Yes, they play through the summer months so a good little earner for the club when they have nothing coming in.

Went to the Mem and bought my tickets this morning. Voucher K from the ST book. The lady in the shop told me there are still a good few tickets left...Had a look at he pitch on the way out and the ground staff were starting to lay the covers over it. Reports say it will be -4c tonight so I suppose they're taking no chances. Saw Steve Hamer walking across the North terrace from the offices towards the Thatchers End. I wonder if that means anything? Did he have a tape measure in hand or was he just pacing out to see if the new stand will fit ?

I can see DCs logic here, Telford out of contract end of the season, get him on loan and do not play him, everyone else forgets how good he is, we get him cheap on full contract in the summer. Imagine if he played every game and scored 20+ every club in the country would be looking at him and we wouldn't stand a chance..So get Telford as top scorer next season now! Should be good price.

Supporters club is independent to the the football club..if the club wish to start there own supporters groups it would conflict with BRSC, maybe not a bad thing..

We need a good old fashion hymn, like Swansea, Think we should sing Amazing Grace, changing it to Amazing Gas,
Amazing GAS How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see 'Twas GAS that taught my heart to fear And GAS my fears relieved How precious did that GAS appear The hour I first believed
I've been set free
