ALL QUARTERS
London, Jan. 24, BRISTOL EXPECTANCY The air at Bristol. ts electric with the news of possible early trans- ters and possible managerial change at the end of the season. A certula contract between one of the clubs and its manager expires shortly and the board of directorS are seriously debating the position.
Only 4500 paid to see Bristol Rovers' home game against Clap- ton Orient-the smallest Saturday gate for several saasons and only 2400 passed through the turnstiles for the mid-week - game against Swindon a few days previously.
A great deal of the cause for these low attendances can be put down to cup aftermath, but on the other hand much of the indiffer- ence is no doubt due to the non- success of the club in the League.
One thing is sure it has been stated DR good authority that when the time comes for the de-

It was the first defeat sus- tained at home by Reading for a very long hime, which meant double value points to the Ran- gers, helping themselves on and pegging Reading back at the same time.
Such a state of affairs clearly indicates why Willie Birrell and his directors will not listen to any overtures for the transfer of Chee- tham, who is undoubtedly one of

The management must ahead, financially, and the only way to prepare, for the expenses of the summer months and make preparation for next season is tu get into the transfer money while 1 is available. And so with Bris- tol City.
There, are usually two sides to every question, and certainly there was two solutions to the Bristol clubs' problems, and they are in- creased support or the parting with players.
â
Cardiff included for the first time
centre-forward young named Willams. He has scored a big crop of goals for the reserve team, and though he did not find the net against Newport his dis- play was very encouraging..
Poland, a young goalkeeper from Penarth, who was playing his first League game before his own club's supporters, enhanced his reputa- tion, and Cardiir's policy of deye- loping young local talent likely to bear fruit in the very near future.

The deficit has been reduced $1,500 which is accounted for in from $2,780.00 approximately
the entrance fees of approximately $480, and in the excess of income over expenditure of approximate- ly $700.-
In short, Gentlemen, I think you will agree that the accounts ap- Pear healthier and those long suf- fering gentlemen who kindly came to our assistance by taking up de- bentures free of interest, can possi- bly see that their hopes of ever getting their money back are de- cidely rosier.
with these few remarks I now formally propose the adoption of the Report and Accounts and after this has been seconded I shall be pleased to answer any questions.
