Hi Massive. Long time no see! But I see that tumbleweed still passes through that empty space between your ears.

 

Hello Sapph, no space for tumble weed, full up with memories.

 

I hope there are more good memories than the other sort.

 

Would someone like to take my place as Mod?

it's been an emotional time, unexpectedly my Dad passed away. He was a great Dad and a caring Papa, I try to speak to my Mum everyday but we always have memories that come down our faces as tears.

 

Difficult times. There never seems to be enough time to say Goodbye. Please accept my condolences.

 

No thanks

 

So sorry for your loss Massive. Im sure you have enough support by the guys on your board but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers too

 

BCFC MassiveAttack Treasure the memories while you have them they can never be replaced in my thoughts at this time

 

Thanks guys, appreciated

 

No-one's saying it, but we're all thinking it.

With 82 hovering 1 point above the trapdoor and the Gas in the playoff positions, what are the chances of two Bristol derbies next season?

I really, really hope so!

 

I think you are going to be out of luck Bluebaldee, I think city will survive as long as the supporters get behind them and don't turn on them when things aren't going their way and I believe January will decide whether we keep going forward or stand still. If we keep all the players that are doing well at the moment and bring in the right players to strengthen the squad then we could sneak up automatically or through the playoffs

 

Im not thinking it Baldee. I honestly believe City will not only avoid relegation but will end in a comfortable position where they wont be worrying about it. They will spend next month and bring in the right players they need.

 

I think the players some our rivals lose during the transfer window could be more of a factor than the players we sign. We probably still need a keeper and that elusive striker. But the squad looks good enough to me.

 

Hi All - fans of both Bristol clubs gave money and time to help this happen - certainly a good news story (for once) - goes to show that we love the banter, but we are all cut from the same cloth:

City’s upcoming home fixture with Preston North End will give young City fan Oskar Pycroft the chance to fulfil his dream and walk out on to the pitch at Ashton Gate.

Last year’s Sky Bet League One game between the two clubs was the launch of Oskar’s fundraising campaign, and fans from both clubs raised in excess of £10,000 on that day alone.

Mascot Oskar led the teams out in his wheelchair, and told a packed stadium that he would love to come back in the future and walk the teams out.

His appeal went on to raise over £57,000, which enabled Oskar to have a life-changing operation in May, days after his beloved club had won the League One and Johnstone's Paint Trophy double.

Since then, Oskar has been building up his strength and learning to walk. His mum Lizzy recently bought him his first pair of football boots, something she thought she would never do.

With both teams promoted to the Sky Bet Championship, Preston’s visit to Ashton Gate on Tuesday, January 12th provides the ideal opportunity for Oskar to fulfil his dream, and to thank fans from both clubs for their generosity in making it happen

 

True sports fans look above the colours and through sport will try to help those less well off that themselves, I hope Oscar enjoys his moment in the sun as he leads out his beloved city and I hope that City will do him proud by winning and collecting 3 points
