I always thought after the `no-one will speak of Bristol Rovers again` quote he was playing the long game. 3 hours ago, Esmond Million's Bung said: This for me wouldn't be a one fingered salute, that is just icing, the clue for me is probably Bristol 'sport'. Unlike our pikey neighbours SL could secure the said funding from investors and I would suspect enough investors would be interested in a venture such as this especially with the tie up to an up and coming university. Absolutely Es. SL would be fighting off potential investors with a stick. The Steve Lansdown Chair of Economics anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say he was very good with us as teenage lads, even with me being City. Kieron Bracken was another Memorial Ground player that was a professional and a gentleman, who I had the pleasure to meet. It does not surprise me that it's descended into scandal since the Pirates have had to do their dirty work to survive since, don't get me wrong! It's odd the same 13 year old gas head mate came along to us in 1994 just for a night out. Lost 2-0 to Peterborough. We still took the piss out of each other but we were just kids. It all got a bit more serious with the 0-2 Beadle game, aged 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't go into details but he made an extremely nice gesture for a Rovers-supporting mate of mine who died a while back, really put in the effort. Obviously haven't mentioned it here much as it's not a popular opinion but I can't help but respect him. That's the only part of that club I have a positive outlook on mind!

Crimewatch in Gasland With all due respect to amateur clubs, reading that it's like they're an amateur club. Of course thieft is wrong but that sounds to me like they may've had to put the players subs up by a fiver to cover the loss, sending a note home to the parents to explain.

It's all kept quiet and in house when it comes to BRFC. If this were BCFC, could you imagine the calls for heads to roll, public debates organised and attended to by EP, Radio Bristol, MPs, local councillors, supporters groups, plus anyone opposed to it at the outset if they were brave enough to attend? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's one thing to say you have access to £40 million and another to prove, to the satisfaction of a partners' lawyers, that you have £40 million irrevocably committed to the purpose of building a football stadium on their land.
