HELP GET BRISTOL CITY TOP #FANPOWERSTADIUM

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Keep going - we're still in the top three so CAN WIN THIS!!

OK, so this nPower competition seems to have some traction and I've spent the last couple of days on Twitter doing my best to galvanise and get people tweeting.

This seems to have helped us rise from 5th to 3rd in the league standings but a number of people still don't seem to know much about what it all is, so I thought I'd explain, along with links to all the relevant bits - THERE IS SOME REALLY REALLY CRITICAL SIGN UP INFORMATION.

nPower are running the competition, and the idea is to reward the winning club with upto £30,000.

Details from City's offical site here: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2693634,00.html

There are two ways to win money:
Firstly (for £10,000): 'Grab a Seat' via Facebook and get everyone you know to do the same. First club to 'fill' their stadium wins

Secondly (for £20,000): Following sign up, update on Facebook or Tweet as much as possible!!

This goes up until 1st June so this is a long game but would be a great one to win!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1) YOU MUST Sign up via Facebook - the link is here: http://www.facebook.com/npowerfootballleague

2) Like the Page

3) Go through the 'Grab your Seat' process and get to the end of the details screens
- Ensure you select Bristol City as your team
- You must allow the Fanpower App
- You must give your details but OPT-OUT of notifications from nPower if you don't want junk mail: this doesn't affect the way you can help

4) To register and count via Twitter you MUST do all of the above & then also allow Twitter access. I have done this and haven't noted any specific differences/problems with doing so

5) Once you'e done all of that simply mention any of the following in a Facebook Status Update or on Twitter (incl hashtag #fanpowerstadium - watch out, a few seem to be using an extra 's' - FanSpowerstadium - by accident)
a) The surname of a player in your registered club's first team squad
b) The surname of the manager of your registered club
c) The name of your registered club's stadium
d) Your registered club's name or nickname

So for example - "Get following Bristol City and help us win #fanpowerstadium"

Points are given per mention so do it at every opportunity. One way to stop it annoying everyone on your timeline by looking like Spam is to just include a mention on a standard tweet/Facebook update,

i.e. "Unbelievable skill from Messi there, Barca are amazing #fanpowerstadium Bristol City"
or more naturally
"Looking forward to going to Ashton Gate this weekend - big six-pointer #fanpowerstadium"

Some tricks of the trade to consider:
>>> Include those associated with City with biggest following - @bean_head @scotty_murray @bcfctweets etc - if they RT your message gets read by a few thousand more people and multiplies the opportunity for others to RT, each time adding points to our total.

>>> Remember to include the name in full (i.e. Bristol City, Ashton Gate, McInnes) and use the hashtag in as many updates/tweets as possible, even if it's not fully relevant

>>> Particularly on Twitter if you're in conversations with other City fans about anything, get both of you/all of you doing it and you'll add points each time!

And keep it up! Good luck everyone!

Remember - Tweets are NOT COUNTED unless you sign up via Facebook as above and allow Twitter the relevant accesses.

Why Cotterill was sacked

In the end, it was very sudden. In a season where pressure has increasingly grown on Steve Cotterill for all sorts of reasons, an unknown combination of a lacklustre, exhausted-looking performance at home to Preston, an unsavoury altercation with an abusive ‘supporter’ at the end of that game, or perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement over transfer policy look to have ultimately curtailed his time at Ashton Gate. No manager these days can win just four out of 28 games in a season, be in the bottom three, and expect to be impervious to the threat of being sacked. But given such an incredulous level of success last season, Cotterill was surely closer than most to having a level of credit in the bank to be given until the end of the season? I share views with many as a general principle where I wish all clubs would give mangers more time to build, but the days of giving a manager the luxury of years of under-achievement, of the type Alex Ferguson enjoyed, resulting in a ...

Bristol City: Our Greatest Team to the Ashton Gate Eight

Back in 2014, I was invited by the Two Unfortunates website to write about Bristol City's greatest team. It was a story which, of course, ended ultimately in the story of the Ashton Gate 8. Since the site of the original post has long since gone, here it is republished in full. "Eight players with more than 80 years at the club and more than 2,000 appearances between them, cast aside as unwilling saviours" Sometimes, events occur that make you realise your true standing in life. When the emotional mask of expectation is removed and those rose-tinted spectacles are lowered onto the brow of the nose, you can realise that things aren’t quite all they seem. And so it was for me, a lifelong Bristol City fan, when I was asked to talk about our greatest ever team. For when it came down to it, there was only one real choice. One genuinely great team that I could write about even in the perspective-bending world of football and this was one I hadn’t even had the privilege of seein...

Up in smoke. England's Ashes tour 2025/26 review and player ratings

High on hope, low on delivery. England are heading towards yet another heavy away Ashes defeat, with an overriding feeling of frustration and annoyance at what could have been. Despite a largely woeful winter, it doesn’t feel like they’ve been too far away from having a chance of claiming a rare victory, which makes the scale of the failure all the more galling. Mitchell Starc and Travis Head have been the huge difference makers and deserve to be joint Men of the Series. Steve Smith delivered in Sydney, whilst Alex Carey has proven himself to be the world’s best wicket-keeper. Other than that, there hasn’t been a lot to scare England. Major Australian absences opened the door. Starc, and more latterly Scott Boland, have dragged their attack through the series. Thirty years of worrying about Shane Warne and Nathan Lyon ended with a complete lack of spin option. Other than Head, Smith and Carey, no Aussie batter averaged over 28. Ultimately, though, it was a series defined by brainle...
