    Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but as we were "chasing an equaliser "for the whole second half why were there no ballboys stationed at covered end to prevent their keeper having ti walk 25 yards to get the ball.
    Our ballboys are bone idle anyway. You're lucky to get them to stand up  :D

    Yeah we have noticed this over recent months, there are fewer of them than you would expect and all of them seem to be allergic to movement.

    i was beginning to wonder if it was part of our masterplan to keep clean sheets. The less time the ball is in play, the less time the opponent has to score.

    It does
    No it doesn't, SKY have yet to confirm dates & kick-off times for that weekend, these will probably be announced in the next couple of days.
    Easter Monday against Watford has been chosen for TV but kick off time (3pm) is unchanged. No mention of any changes to the Bristol City match on Good Friday.

    not what it used to be - my youngest was a ball boy with his academy mates back in the johnny jackson era - they prided themselves on being the 12th man - delaying returning the ball when needed, shithousing as required but being super quick at getting the ball back when we needed it - my boy claimed at least 2 assists that season we got promoted under JJ.
