Well that's the second match we've lost to teams near the bottom of the league and to think we have the top team next!
They do say the bigger they are, the harder they fall and I'm sure that will be the case this Saturday when Plymouth Argyle meet Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
I know the ground well as I used to go and watch them last season when we weren't in the same league. They were a good team then and an even better one now, but not a match for our boys. We will come out confident and ready to take the 3 points back with us, down the M5, to sunny Devon.
I'll be going for a drink with my friends, City supporters, where we used to meet up last season before the games. The Robins pub, I think it may have changed it's name now, is friendly and I often saw supports from the away team in there without any trouble at all.
Lets hope it's still the same now.

Not a Good Day For The Pilgrims
Well that wasn't too good was it? A 3-0 defeat to WBA and back down to 7th place in the league.
The night before the match I was talking to someone up the pub, who is a Bristol City supporter, and he told me we should be happy with a point each from the next day’s games.
I, being always the optimist, said 'No. We will both get 3 points. Both teams have a good chance of winning'. Well I was 50% right. Bristol City have gone top with a 2-1 win over Hull. They need Stoke to lose today to keep their place. They have QPR, whose manager; Tony Pulis has just been named Championship manager of the month.
Fingers crossed for City.
Well they've just kicked off so I'm off to watch the match.
Before I had a chance to post this QPR have scored. Looking good for City to keep their place.
All I did was went to find a picture to post on here and they've scored again!
2-0 to QPR now.

Tickets, Tickets Have You Seen Them?
I must have spoken too soon about my tickets, they haven't arrived!
I'll have to keep a look out for both sets of tickets. I have this strange feeling that if they don't arrive someone else could be sat in our seats.
Telephoned the booking line today and they told me they have been posted so where are they?
The lady, who must be new because she had no clue what would happen if they didn't arrive, went off to ask someone. She came back on the line to tell me to phone the day before the match if they still hadn't arrived then they would issue me with duplicates. I told her that would be no good to me as I lived in Bristol and didn't want to chance not receiving them. She went off to ask advice again. She then said it would be Bristol City that would issue the tickets and I would be able to collect them from Ashton Gate on the day of the match. All well and good as long as the ticket office isn't in the home end!
I also took the opportunity to buy 2 tickets for the Watford game which is a home game for us. It's on the 22nd March, the Saturday in-between the two Easter bank holidays.
I saw Watford at Home Park last season in a cup match but we lost that 1-0 and Watford played a very boring game. I hope this one will be more exciting

I've Got Mine!
Were you thinking of going to the Bristol City match?
Do you already have your ticket?
No?
Never mind I'll tell you all about it.
Yes, tickets for away fans, that's us, are already sold out nearly 3 weeks before the game.
It's going to be a good game me thinks!
