CG148 first
went on sale at the pre season friendly at Farsley Celtic in
mid July 2008. Most of the transfer talk during the close
season was about the possible return of Darren Moore. The
saga seemed to go on for ages but just before this issue
went to print, he accepted an offer at Barnsley. Moore who
is a good friend of City's assistant manager Wayne Jacobs
and both are born again Christians and I was inspired by
the idea that he'd be torn between rejoing City to help them
gain promotion from league two or join championship side
Barnsley. Maybe he did seek divine intervention in making
his decision to move to Oakwell?

CG149 first went on sale
at Elland Road on the 2nd September 2008 at the Johnstone Paint Trophy
game. Having been thumped 4-0 at our other West Yorkshire rivals
Huddersfield Town in the League Cup 1st round, City fans were demanding
a much better performance against Leeds. The last time City played there
we were thumped 6-1 in our penutimate away game in the Premier League in
May 2001. During the first half Stuart McCall and Andy Myers came to
blows and now with Stuart in charge of City I thought he could be give
an inspirational, but mildly threatening team talk to the City players.
The list of articles in CG149 are as follows: Straight From The Bantams
Beak (Mike Harrison), BCST News (Russ Spence), Midland Road Mutterings
(Jason McKeown), How I Failed The Life Laundry Test (Chris Armstrong),
