    You get more ridiculous by the day, good job you aren’t a manager of a football team.

    Dour: relentlessly severe, stern, or gloomy in manner or appearance.
    "a hard, dour, humourless fanatic"
    Hardly the impression I've got from the interviews or behind-the-scenes videos the club has posted of pre-season

    The messages are conflicting, not from City but the government. You had the tennis with packed crowds, no masks and people sitting closer together, than those who’ll be attending the game this afternoon. Scientists have already said it’s safer outdoors, so unless you’re in the concourse I don’t really understand the need for a mask, especially when sat in your seat, but if that’s the rule then so be it.

    I’ve been twice to Headingley to watch Yorkshire cricket and although you are told to wear a mask whilst walking to your seat, going to the toilet or buying drinks, you don’t need a mask while watching the game as you are in an outdoor setting. I’m surprised City want you wearing a mask when sat outdoors. Though I think people should whilst walking to their seats,buying drinks etc.

    Im the biggest advocate for mask wearing in the world. In fact I paid £32 for mine and wore it several times yesterday . I’m pointing out the sheer hypocrisy, inane, stupid, regulatory, nonsensical leadership of this complete and utter mess.

    So what is the LAW, surrounding mask wearing.”Its a personal choice…” that’s what the obese tosser tells us, but businesses are free to choose how they apply the “GUIDLINES”

    What exactly are the guidlines?

    I would prefer to wear a mask, because of medication I am deemed at risk, but do you think I would feel easy, being in very close proximity to someone who has excercised their rights to think about the “ guidlines” and so no “f**k ,I’m excercising mythe right to choose”.

    I wouldn’t blame them for doing so, it’s their choice.

    So what happens…? After all they followed the obese oafs guidlines and get thrown out of the stadium??


    It’s not their fault it’s certainly not City’s fault, it’s not the Councils fault,

    We know where the fault lies!!


    Good morning all!

    Tuesday evenings game must have been a great finacial shot in the arm for Brighouse Town, they did a great job of stewarding car parking, entering the ground, food and drink, a very good night and a well done to Brighouse Town.
    I can accept the wearing of masks in the stadium concourse ETC but once in your seat then IMO it becomes a nonsence, and I have championed the wearing of masks in areas where there is close contact with others.

    I was also at Brighouse and it was refreshing to see people enjoying themselves and living life like normal human beings.

    You wear a mask if you think it makes you feel better.
    In fact wear two so you can feel double protected.
    Why not wear a hazmat suit? Can't be too careful. Maybe city should start selling them in club colours.

    But, even then, you might get struck by lighting, twatted by a stray football, abducted by aliens... even mauled by an escaped tiger.

    Maybe best to stay at home after-all, just to be on the safe side.

    Best place to follow it is Simon Parkers match blog on T&A website

    Whatever 11 he picks on match days there will be plenty of strength and depth in the comfy seats.
    Non of the , fill it with under 18’s, twaddle.

    A completely different game from last week. You can tell Blackburn are 2 divisions above us. Surprisingly we are 1-0 up at half time. Canavan has been brilliant in defence. Callum Cooke has looked confident and Angol is definitely growing on me.

    New unsung heroes and a preseason full of promise. Exceeded my expectations anyway. I think we have found the 'chosen one'!!

    Well that’s the best I’ve seen City play for years. First ten minutes was like watching us play Arsenal and I was fully expecting it to be 0-5, but after the penalty we grew in confidence and by the second goal we were dominating the game. No bad performances but Canavan, Callum Cooke, Angol, Gillead and Sutton had great games. Vernan did well when he came on.

    Quotes from Blackburn’s forum

    “No worries - results don't matter in pre-season. We'll be fine once we have our first choice back four playing - oh ” No it WASNT a midget master.

    “What a pitiful result. Wonder if there's any chance of a season ticket refund”

    “So our strongest available side just got stuffed 2-0 by a 4th division side.... looks like we are the deep shit this season”

    “It definitely looks like a mess today. That’s pretty much our strongest line up”


    Have a nice evening folks!
