Old Rascal

They are really filling in the gaps with housing. The 4 fields around Yate FC are being sold off and 118+ houses going in(The fields with brown test trenches in them). On top of The Addlings to the right of the club, that are already up an potentially reaching up to The Cod. They are also clearing the land opposite the club entrance in Lodge Road hopefully for a new road junction.

Moved out Yate (well the arse end of Nibley) 4 years ago. Went to The Lamb with a mate and met a few of the locals, was told Yate was the swingers capital of the south west!

Another one here! South Stand. Mate just text to say he can’t make it.

Thanks, I agree with you, no company(club) would completely open themselves to potential employees. But did wonder what sort of due diligence would be done by LM? Apologies, not expecting you to know! The football world seems quite small for the professionals in the game. I don't think he would have given NP a call and ask about the club, but a bit of a check on the city website would have uncovered NP's feelings about what was happening in the weeks before he was sacked, delving back a bit further would have shown his thoughts when he took over here and an hour on social media would have given the fans perception and feelings. Perhaps it's all down to individual egos? Your last part sums it up for me.

I used to work with the Head of Football Operations at Rotherham. A really decent guy and good people manager. Everyone that knows him was surprised at the move, as he has spent nearly all his career in the justice and custodial sector! Still trying to work out how running a prison with over 1100 inmates equates to this new role. He is passionate about football, but is a Hull City supporter..........

This is a good point, but worries me even more about what is going on behind the scenes! Is it likely the board hide a lot of the issues from potential new employees? I seem to remember NP with all his experience saying he didn't realise how bad things were here after his arrival.

Will speak with a cousin tonight out there. He is praying the sodding huge driving range nets were going to get it!

For the first time in a while, it seemed most of the South Stand joined in with "Nigel Pearson's Cider Army". NP even mentioned it post match.

Not sure if there has been a change within Ashton Gate, but during the last match of the season, had a chat with one of the outlets on the concourse and he said that they might not be back this season as the new management team had been around to discuss things and he would 'basically, end up working for nothing' with the new fees? They are back this season, but I wonder if this is why other outlets have changed?

Thatchers Rascal, when did it stop being Old Rascal?

Done?? and shared. Good luck.

If not these have them British Corner Shop | British Food | Online Supermarket for Expats

I live near Yate and don’t want them around here. Like @bcfc01 I would become a nimby. Better fire the muck spreader up just in case.

Like Todd Boehly

Been living near Yate for a couple of years, have only ever seen 3 with their colours on. All old boys. 1 in a rent boys bobble hat and 2 in shirts that have all sorts of food down the front...... @Silvio Dante sums it up about following the family connection. When I refer to them as old boys, I am turning 60 this year and they are older than me (or had a much bigger paper round). No youths anywhere. There are regularly dozens of city who go down the gate from the surrounding area.
