I'm beginning to think it would be more fun watching them not getting promoted than us actually doing so!
As a Bristol based Swindon fan, I will have my very own open top bus parade across South Bristol if Town went up and City didn't* *To the OTIB lurkers, I'm joking. |

Its good to have an insight into how OUR club is being run, especially by fans of other clubs  They are accusing us of being skint, yet without being bankrolled they would've gone bust. How much did the lose in the last year? £15m? Even Di Canio didn't spend that much !! |

He not bluffing. He'll do it.
Do any Swindon fans really think we 'have a little dosh'? I think most on here know the model of funding and it's nip and tuck nature.
Obviously we'd all like to be losing £10m a season on overpaid underachievers that gets covered by our benifactor, but we aren't as massive as the Manchester Uniteds, and the Bristol city (1982) limiteds.

Never noticed how appropriate the term Bristol City Limited is.  |

It will be a Shame when they are no longer funded by thier sugar daddy? I'm sure their is a framework in place for when he leaves the club permanently and leaves them up shit street?
He's not doing a very good job though is he and I feel sorry for him, massive wagebill and losses and playing in the third tier with a bigger budget and smaller attendances than most championship clubs.
Of all the clubs he ends up with a club like Bristol City.

If I'm honest I think he's been brilliant for them in so much that we'd all like that kind of unconditional funding.

If I were him I'd find a good DOF to handle the football side of things for me.

Most lower teams dream of having a Lansdown type owner. Most enjoy more success under such ownership but for all of his work/money both Bristol City and Bristol Rugby have enjoyed next to nothing on the pitch. The League One title would be spun well but they really shouldn't be in this division in the first place (under Lansdown ownership).
Even their academy hasn't produced nearly as many successes as it should have. Joe Bryan looks like the best product they've had for a long while.

I heard once that Plymouth was the biggest city in Western Europe never to grace the top tier..
I think you can say Bristol is the biggest City In Western Europe never to accomplish or win anything in Sport..

When did our fans ever think we had any money? Quite the contrary on here.
I stopped going on OTIB a few days after we beat them (boy wasnt that fun). But from what I've seen on here, it's like reading a bitter ex-girlfriends facebook.

Haha. I'm sure the news of the Redditch/Hylton complaint will give them a new thread. |

Didn't power say he didn't beleive we should be paying the whole rent due to the state of the repairs required, and now it seems they have agreed to pay the whole lot in installments.
