How is this still a thing in 2021? Haven't we lived through enough in the last 20 months to realise that there's more to life than posturing and throwing punches? As if the football hasn't been bad enough, some pricks are just intent on further ruining the day for other fans.

My main concern is that he felt the two Leicester players would improve us. Poor judgement of the level both are now capable of playing, not cheap wages and signed during a summer when our limited buying needed to spot on.

Piefall. I celebrated the day Pulis left our club and felt exactly the same when Tomlin signed for Cardiff. Two genuine highlights in my City supporting lifetime.

This would be useful when we're a goal down just before added time: Our very own real life midfield pairing of Matty Bryant and Andy May from the early 90s. (I think I heard this coincidence in TV commentary, I wasn't sharp enough to pick up on it by myself)

Phase 2/3 of the Oxford vaccine will be reported during September. Hopefully successful at preventing disease spread and reducing the impact of the disease even if it doesn't eliminate it. Volume production will already be underway such that priority groups will start receiving jabs through autumn into winter. Early 2021 will see vaccine availability for everyone in the UK (who wants it). Normal social interactions will resume around February. Packed Ashton Gate for the last four months of the season but until then season ticket rotation with groups of upto 4 marked seats for friends to sit together. End of the 2020/21 season will see us win promotion with Chris Hughton at the helm. Covid-19 becomes the fifth coronavirus in general circulation. Innate immunity around the world means that within a few years it offers no more health risk than our existing cold viruses. Come back to me in May 2021 if I've got any of the above wrong.

I hope it doesn't come to this point purely because if the economy crashed so badly that clubs just disappeared (quite possible) then there would be far greater problems facing us than worrying about football and the plight of our two teams. We have to hope that life returns to some degree of normality on a global scale to provide a base on which luxury activities like football can still be part of our lives. As hypothetical as your question is, I don't want to consider it for these reasons. By default, I actually want Rovers to survive this episode and for you to still have your club - that would be a measure of us coming out of this terrifying time relatively unscathed.

I can see it now. The Evening Post headline: Bristol Rovers Stadium Stolen by Travelling Funfair Bristol City probably to blame

Another kick in the balls for the special relationship between Bristol Rovers and UWE: https://info.uwe.ac.uk/news/UWENews/news.aspx?id=4001 I added the bold text for emphasis ? Similarly I can't help thinking that when 23,078 turned up to watch Bristol Bears play Wasps that there must be someone at the Memorial Ground who regrets stealing their ground and evicting the rugby club. Look who has the second highest overall attendance figures in English rugby.... "These things take time" unless you're doing your best to destroy relationships with the non-football community then it's amazing what can be achieved in just a few years. Sometimes they just can't help punching a gift horse in the mouth.

That sounds highly significant. From memory, the weather was really awful that night so the pilot and passenger probably kept ventilation to a minimum. Any death is a tragedy but if the evidence identifies a problem that was avoidable, it must be even more heartbreaking for both families.

@Miah Dennehy Not trying to make any cheap shots here but as a Rovers fan, how does it feel to see City sell two players for a total of around £40M in one summer? It's madness to me and I'm not sure how it helps the aspirations of teams below the Championship. In some ways, I don't even think it helps us as it proves that every player has a price - a crazy figure that even Bournemouth and Brighton can now reach.

Putting your hand in your pocket takes time. I think we've had the meathead phase already during Lansdown's ownership. Probably around the time we were struggling towards the bottom of League 1. At the time, nearly everything at the club was shambolic and the stick Lansdown was getting was pretty grim. Situations like Bolton and Coventry have shown our meatheads how bad it could be.

Jealous of the attention and not to be outdone, Rovers have announced their new badge....

Graham Coughlan: "Wembley is not a priority" Translation: "We know we're going to lose"

Amazing to me that having stolen Bristol Rugby's ground from them and then making it financially impossible for them to compete with other top-level rugby teams that a number of Rovers fans now describe Steve Lansdown's actions as 'relocating' the club to Ashton Gate. Once again, the Rovers owners of the day couldn't see the potential of doing anything more than lining their own pockets and focusing on the short term. The blue faithful then reinvent history to paint Bristol Sport as the villains for kidnapping the rugby team and trafficking them across Bristol. There wouldn't be a rugby club without SL.

A really incredible age to be attending games so recently.
