Considering they've only been a league club for 2 years and Notts County have been one for over 120, it's not the worst result in the world 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until we are able to mock, as the final nail is hammered into their coffin. Then gloat..! At least we won't be sniffing around their 'stadium' in their hour of need, trying to nick it for bugger all....oh how this will all be payback for their shameful antics in 1982!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Their view that all is well with Memorial Ground redevelopment as they’ll be seeking outside investment for the project. This is a project that they had previously said was unsustainable. I’d imagine this will have put off any potential investors they may have had.

A disappointing result but let's be honest in reality there's not a lot of difference between top of league 2 and mid table league 1 so I don't think it's an embarrassment. We can't defend at the moment and thats a big issue. But we're 13th in league 1 and we will be okay. 10 hours ago Roadman said: Our manager has dragged us back to league 1 and increased our attendances considerably but we have well and truly found our level with at best a modest playing budget.

Coombsy Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Why are we not wearing shirts with poppies on like so many other teams have done and then we could have auctioned them off Is it that bad we can't afford the shirts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 They're bricking it big time. Their worst nightmares are not their own failings, but our success. They could live with the humiliation of non-league football, but the thought of us playing premier league football, scares them sh*tless. It's not about them coming for us, it's about them dragging us down to their level. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I laughed out loud as I looked around our great stadium while the Cardiff supporters sang "You're just a shit Bristol Rovers". If they'd been there recently, they'd know that there already is a shit Bristol Rovers and that any comparison (apart, of course from the Championship ready sprinklers) most certainly doesn't apply to us. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hav has misunderstood Coombsy's post. He has a tendency to quote things from their forum without quotation marks so it looks like the comments are his rather than from the gas forum. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 On the FA Cup goals round up programme, the commentator stated that Hereford and Telford were both Phoenix clubs. Edgar Street is still Hereford's home ground, but it has a capacity of 4,700. If the gas played there, they could claim a full house sell out.

The fact we even have a small 1% chance of doing the unthinkable they'll be more focused on us than ever. Best / Worst case scenario. 2018/19 season sees City in the Prem, Rovers in League 2. Young kids getting interested in football, which team will they latch on to? As examples I offer Man U & Bury or WHU & Orient, or going back in years; Liverpool & Southport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was their half time team talk sorted then - the manager just had to show the players a photo of where they could be going for a replay if they didn`t sort themselves out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it really would become a Memorial. Why on earth would SL want to buy the Memorial Ground (I think you need four permanent sides to call it a stadium) It would be like a Rolls Royce owner asked to buy a Trabant.

He could almost be describing our team around Xmas last year... "As soon as the first goal goes in we look weak, making wrong decisons....... " we went through a period where we would "Catipulate" sic in games too. If he's the manager some of the blind few think, then lets see if he can turn thinga around like ours has.
