  1. Lady Gardens near Eardisly in Herefordshire, and Minge Lane, Upton on Severn. Both genuine places.

  4. Cracking read on Gaschat at the moment. A potential investor/forum member has been told 3/5 years for the new ground. They can not develop the Mem because there is no room left apparently although unbelievably they have discovered a previously unknown building behind a fence in one corner. Nobody knew it was there in the 22 years since they arrived and now they don’t know what to do with it. Suggestions on a postcard please. Rumours that it is their trophy room are yet to be confirmed. They are considering it as a food outlet which should be perfect for out of date pasties I’m sure. Ah the gift !

  5. Hmmm. When Brentford move into their new ground, Griffin Park will be empty - a football ground with real stands and no tents. Dwayne Sports has an unexplained office in London. Becoming Brentford Rovers wouldn’t even require a change to their initials. All of their home game would effectively be played well away from Bristol, guaranteeing massive travelling support (because that’s just what they do). I think they’re on the move! Bloody clever these Jordanians.

  8. I used to try to write some mildly amusing stuff about the Rovers but this is way beyond anything my imagination could have conjured up. Post by wertongas on 3 hours ago 4 hours ago gashead333 said: So did the club refuse your money or are the away fans getting a roof? Can't put roof on away end as it would block views from Centenary stand, however offered money to get rid of those crap temporary toilets and put proper toilet block in under the new screen, plus a bar for away fans there will be more seating made available for larger away followings. Most amazing thing is that the club have discovered a building behind a fence in the top right hand corner of the stadium (club been there for 22 yrs without knowing this building existed) may use it for offices, food outlet and games area for kids, but it depends on whether it is worth spending the money if we are vacating the ground. Could bring in extra revenue.

  9. Overreaction? From you? Well what a surprise and so completely out of character. Be sure not to fall off that very high horse you’ve sat yourself upon. Wouldn’t want you to find something else to complain about.

  10. There's a Cowship Lane in Wotton Under Edge, I often wondered if the cartographers misheard what the locals called it or sanitised the spelling for the general public.

  15. So in all the asset and account valuations, purchase negotiations and assurance Sainsburys would have conducted over negotiations to buy 'The Dump' this 'mystery' property was never identified? That no Gashead has ever looked at The House of Tents on Google Maps? Yup, rings true to me.....

  16. This was the view from the Centenary stand a few years ago before the Rugger had to move out. I don't think a cover over the away terrace which is down and to the left of the picture would effect the view from the centenary stand. Probably the best thing to improve the view for all fans would be to erect large canvas screens all the way around the edge of the pitch. ?

  17. Since the tragedy, I have seen comments from people with inside knowledge of the aviation world claiming that this sort of thing is not that uncommon, which is disturbing if true, though perhaps not entirely surprising. It’s not that hard to legislate against but, like many things, it may be a whole lot harder to monitor and enforce. One wonders where the father and son football agents will stand in all this when the dust settles. Lots of newspaper reports at the time suggested a clear line of responsibility leading to them. I’m no lawyer, but even if, in moral terms, their fingerprints appear to be all over it, it seems doubtful that any criminality would stretch as far as them. I’m pretty sure we have some legal people on the forum. I wonder what their take would be on this?

  18. The thing I wondered is if this is the "norm" that pilots hand off work other people? Guess if nothing had gone fatefully wrong this may have never come to light?

  20. A PILOT has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over the plane crash death of footballer Emiliano Sala. David Henderson, 64, a private pilot, was registered as taking charge of the doomed flight from France to Cardiff, but later drafted in David Ibbotson, 59. Sala, 28, had just signed for Cardiff City for £15million from Nantes and was flying to meet his teammates. The Piper Malibu PA-46 flown by Mr Ibbotson went down off Guernsey on January 21. It later emerged that Mr Ibbotson was not qualified to fly at night and should not have been carrying commercial passengers. Sala’s remains were recovered on February 6, but Mr Ibbotson, of Crowle, Lincs, is still missing. Det Insp Simon Huxter, of Dorset Police, said officers “have to consider whether there is evidence of suspected criminality”. He added: “As a result of our inquiries, we have arrested a 64-year-old man from North Yorkshire on suspicion of manslaughter by an unlawful act.” The force added the families of the two men who died had been informed. The man was later released from custody under investigation. A preliminary accident report said Mr Ibbotson was not licensed to fly fee-paying passengers. The flight was arranged by ex-football agent Willie McKay — whose son Mark brokered Sala’s transfer — via Mr Henderson. Mr McKay said he asked Mr Henderson, an experienced commercial pilot, to fly the footballer to Cardiff. However, it is understood he was unable to do so, and the plane was flown by Mr Ibbotson. Flight records showed Mr Ibbotson had descended rapidly while making a series of sharp turns before crashing.
