Brighton v Bristol City

Hi again everyone, I know it's a month away but I thought I'd give you lot the lowdown of what you can (maybe) expect from us when we visit for your promotion party....

It seems like years ago since I was last here, back then we were looking like a top ten side who might even make the play offs, now we are looking like a side who could very much go down. The one positive all City fans can take from the season so far is Tammy Abraham, the kid is brilliant, only 19 but holds the ball up better than the 37 year old Wilbraham and he is able to finish like nobody I've ever seen play for us, he'll be playing for England one day I'm sure of it.

From when we played you till about January we were dreadful, we lost 9 in a row at one point, a club record and until about 6 weeks ago we looked doomed. We've recently had a mini revival, drawing away at Derby and Newcastle (despite being 3-0 and 2-0 up...) and we've beaten Wigan away, drawn at home to Norwich and then last week we somehow went and beat Huddersfield 4-0 at home, a result I'm sure you were pleased with ;-).

Hopefully by the time we play you we'll be safe, we have a coupe of big games to come v Wolves and Blackburn before the 29/04 and so I would hope we don't have to rely on a result v you for survival!

I've been keeping an eye on what's been going on with you lot, not only because of my Brighton friend keeping me updated with every goal, but also because of how well you played at ours, still the best team we've had at the Gate.

Anyway I'm owed 4 pasties or pies of my choice for the game v you so I'm looking forward to coming down for what should hopefully be a celebratory atmosphere from both sides!

What do you think of the redeveloped Ashton Gate? I thought it looked really smart, I enjoyed the live band too.....it's not often you hear "Anarchy in the UK" after a game.

:lolol:

It is smart and it's much better than what we had before quality wise, what we were worried about was whether we would lose our atmosphere but so far its been good in parts. The bands after the game are good with some very interesting songs haha

My abiding memory of the trip to "the Gate" was how many time they replayed Sidwell's goal on the big screen.
Can't help thinking the home support, not to mention the goalkeeper, must have enjoyed that :bowdown:

It was a great goal, although O'Donnell must have found the fireworks going over the bridge that bit more interesting haha

Tidy stadium but I heard they put the extra seats in for the rugby fans. :whistle:

I missed the band, where were they playing?

International Rugby was always going to be the biggest gate at the Amex simply because segregation is not needed. I have often thought that in this day and age do we really need it anymore?
I have stood on the Goldstone East side with away supporters and never had any bother. Some interesting conversations in fact with some Palace fans! Hard to believe maybe but it's true.

They were in a little bandstand down the side of the ground next to the burger bars.
