Also has a degree in biochemistry, whereas "Baz" sounds like he got a CSE in window licking from the university of life.

You were saying? ?

Oops

It is

The Stranglers died when Hugh Cornwell left. Hugh's more of a cricket and rugby man, but I can reveal he has been to see City. He lives in Somerset.

. Wael has until recently been carried up and down the Glos Rd by appreciative Gas heads and has become used to not having to pay for a bus ticket, but now Rovers fans seem reluctant to transport him to the city centre using his favourite method. Not put off by this, Wael discovered gangs of semi-tumescent Sunderland fans wandering around pointing at all things Bristol Rovers and commenting on how much more they love the Gas in comparison to the Ted's in fact they were more than happy to carry the president where he wanted to go... His usual destination was Dixons because he wanted to buy a big screen TV. But was unable to because they didn't sell the bracket that went with it, plus he went in about six shops and none of them sold training grounds...

Didn’t we beat Gillingham 4 times in a season the last time we were in the same division? I’d probably prefer the Gas if I was them, especially when Rovers away support alone will keep that club in business for another year at least. Just look at the mammoth following they took last time they went there on a Saturday. ’Its just what they do...’

Could you ask him if he prefers Rovers to us like apparently 80% of neutrals do ?

Surely they'll have that many locked out?! Went there Dec 14 when we won 3-1. Freezing cold, December 28th match yet we took a lot, lot more than that sorry show.

The glos player is taking the line out from the football line, not the rugby line...

I actually find it worse!

Yeeees! Have that you Middle Earth *******!! Twelvetrees missing that kick my favourite moment of the season. 30 points usually enough for survival ?

I believe the German Alz Heimer has created that but also I think a Spaniard Senor Dementia can do the trick. not sure about the mamories after googling it seems that all experiments have gone tits up.

Sorry forgot our great man was Bas not Baz....

Often wondered this myself. But all teams (club and international) do this. As you can see, Gloucester have also announced their team:

Yeah that's possible and the less detailed accounts too, helps signify a smaller company. When they had already made an operating profit though- plus the cash from Mawson sale and Stones sell on- it still looking in from outside admittedly, looks like it wasn't necessary. I'm all for understanding the wishes of a club to be as profitable as possible, but that just seemed odd- clearing balance sheet maybe for takeover. Essentially, I'd have sold them even with the small operating profit if midtable and going neither up nor down- but not if on the edge of playoffs and playing well- that's my outsiders view. Probably would have made a few million in profit due to Stones sell on and Mawson sale in any case.

You must've come in an Uber..

That's a bit savage...

To be fair, Baz has probably never heard of r*vers and probably thinks Bristol is a one team city.

Didn't want to offend the two of them

Nottingham Forest headline loss £5,596,000 HOWEVER that includes a debt write off of £5m which under FFP does not count so add £5m to that. I looked back at my own projections for their losses last season- and only around £2m out which I think given no publicly given wage figures for new signings not a bad effort. I had it about £12.4m for their losses last season inclusive of transfer profit, changes in amortisation etc- and the primary reason for that was I overestimated their transfer profit by about £2.4m.

Live on BT tonight for those not watching Leeds v WBA!

A relegation 60 pointer!

The forum is definitely the font of all knowledge. I’ve lived in Bristol all my life, but had never heard of Banjo Island until the recent posts. Have I missed anything?

Yate tradionally was a Gas area without a doubt. However, when the town expanded (mostly during the 70s + 80s) families relocated from all over Bristol and thankfully tipped the balance which is now firmly in City's favour. Having gone through secondry school (early 90's) my age group was always majority of City fans - but the older generations more Gas. When my age group hit the pub scene in the mid 90's and on to the 00's you could see a big change with City fanbase getting larger and the Gas reducing. I think the worrying thing for the Gas now is the lack of new fans coming through for them. It is evident that for the youngsters, City shirts are a far more common site than Gas shirts - there is a definate lack of blue shirts being worn in an around Yate nowadays - ???

Being correct is not pedantry. One is an evidence based, peer reviewed science, the other is a snake oil salesman. Next time you’re in The Three Lions why not buy a copy of my new book, ‘Which Tyler, and the Pedant’s Revolt.’ Price 1 pint?

Another happy chappie.....
