Can you all remember how humble our little poor Sags were when they thought the fake sheik was a billionaire??

Surely this is the best solution for the Mem....

Not quite a road sign, but one of my favourite signs of all time Not quite a road sign, but one of my favourite signs of all time

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.

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.

I’m sure it’s just a social club that’s been there for a long time with no connection to Rovers

Some sad news from Taunton Charles Clark RIP

Does this mean they are officially not coming for us then? Phew, what a relief, we don't have to look over our shoulder now!

Thanks Rudolf and Phantom

West Brom have suffered from cash flow issues, not FFP previously, but having not gone straight back up, this season will probably see pragmatism, hence the rumour if offering Rodriguez for £5m rising to £10m in season 2, probably to get him off the wage bill. Gayle was only loan wasn’t he, but they get Rondon back....probably to sell. So I think they will be starting to adjust, like Norwich did. Swansea had a huge wage bill, so Dan James sale will help compensate that. Think they’ll be ok, but they won’t be splashing loads either. The appointment of Cooper suggests they go back to their old formula. @Mr Popodopolous will give you a better answer.

Was it perhaps where Stuart Sinclair lived?

Massively entertaining fighter, terrible, terrible boxer.

**** me the u21s and the cricket pissed me off earlier. Englanditis in full effect!

Yeah mate apart from the Cricket, U21's and our lack of transfer dealings... ?

This ain’t a bad scrap

Not really mate, pretty dull thus far. Can't wait for Conor to go to the trenches with a Finnish fisherman later mind!

Now known as the Eastville club.

Evening Bird! Yes, cocked and loaded to Sky Sports Action! Sinclair Cox should be good, and let's see if Conor is capable of learning.

Anyone watching the next gen card at York Hall? Looks like some good fights on the cards...

Think you are correct. Used to be in the corner of the car park. Shitty two bit shed of a building, so must be.

Looks pretty big, so I'll guess no.

Clearly not. Look at his Twitter media profile and there's a photo a few posts down showing a bunch of empty Thatchers tins implying Maggot and chums are enjoying an 'early session'. What bothers me is they've clearly been purchased from a shopping outlet that uses orange carriers. Now, if only I could recall which supermarket that is...?

Could also be that other clubs "played the game" somewhat- and avoided further escalation. Knowing what we do now, still cannot believe the idiocy of Birmingham and Pedersen deal! Completely appalling governance but would you put it past Shaun Harvey?

Haha, yep...they were utterly grotesque, even more so than usual. For those brief weeks/months until reality sunk in they were making out they were on par with the likes of Chelsea and Man City ?? Their true colours well and truly came out. The fact is they're desperate to be 'us' or at least in our position with an owner like ours despite their bullshit denials and pretending otherwise.

I can't see that far anyway! ?

It's a trick. Don't fall for it.

Leadbitter. FB. Been there for c.5 years apparently. “Very fast, can’t tackle, injury prone, worst crosser of a ball ever, League 2 standard at best”. Guess where those comments come from?

Just seem on the ECB site Hampshire have been deducted 1 of their 3 points due to a slow over rate

One quick view on Sheffield Wednesday too. I remember saying something about or like this a few weeks ago- but it's probably hope over experience etc. IF a club has not submitted accounts to the EFL for the season just gone by the deadlines i.e. end of March but especially by the end of season just gone, that should be embargo for summer window. No ifs, no buts no lifting as soon as received- embargo summer 2019 if no accounts submitted by end of season. Just IMO anyway. Soft embargo all of the subsequent summer bare minimum.

WBA did I believe, though I'd have to research it fully mortgage against or borrow against the 2nd half of 2018/19 parachute payments and this seasons one so could that signal issues on the horizon? Definitely a good chance of pragmatism there. I think Swansea's problem is partly wage bill, partly owners- they made a write down in their relegation season on player valuation which seems to help in the future- way I understand it allowable losses Swansea and WBA could have made last season if equity put in is £35m + £35m + £13m. Plus any accumulated profit, that's before we even get into expenditure of academy etc which either reduces FFP losses or increases the leeway moving forward. However there's a caveat- I don't know if it applies in the PL, read different things but in the Championship the equity being put in is key- without it that £13m turns into £5m. Swansea's owners appear not to, WBA's might but I see no statement of capital in the last years- IF it was the case that PL losses also came down to £5m per season if no equity, and like I say read different things on this, then their position would be transformed- in a negative sense. Would mean allowable 3 year losses £15m + whatever spent on academy etc. As opposed to £35m + £13m + £13m. I believe WBA like most relegated clubs had relegation wage clauses- surely Swansea did too, you'd think. Max equity an owner can count towards FFP being £8m- so without £5m, with £13m max losses- and I guess anything in between. If PL that'd be £30m but like I say it's unclear. Their profits in 2016/17 will drop off the books and their small losses in 2017/18 will be the new starting point, as soon as their accounting period for 2018/19 done- for WBA it's 30th June 2019 and for Swansea 31st July 2019 so any sales before then count as profit in this season.

Girlfriend in a coma - The Smiths

Nooo....this is

.....and I see from the ‘reactions’ you got that @BS3City and @EmissionImpossible support you joking about the deaths of two people in a dreadful incident - it says a lot ...

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. ?

How about (they may or may not all be genuine ... who knows?) ...

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

I can assure you that the sunderland fans that stayed at my hotel when they played rovers didn't think that ,their comments were something like what the **** was that .

By the way, please don't confuse me meaning good signings on paper and good signings in reality. Stefan Payne was a good signing on paper, so was Tom Nichols. And Clarke-Harris wasn't. We never know who'll perform for those lot, if anyone. So it could be these 3 completely flop and Van Stoppershot or whatever his name is is class. Who knows?

Noooo! I feel parentally protective of our Mark. If those c. ts aren't going to look after him then they don't deserve him and can't be trusted. Let's have him back in the fold where he is loved. Though as BCFC11 mentions, the lad can look after himself to be fair.

Don’t want to piss off Litt’s that’s for sure, just ask Ryan Fredericks.

Seems their official Facebook Page posted a vid tonight under the title ‘Friday feeling, with our three latest recruits’ - no mention of Mark Little in the vid, he replied to their post with “Forgot me already is it? Sound!” Wahey! Pissed off our Mark already!

It's obvious that the Al Qadis want out tbh. But that doesn't inherently make their signings bad obviously. Davies is decent, Little is good, and reading a bit on Hare (got nothing else to do as I wait for either Kalas or DaSilva or hopefully both!) he seems decent. Former League 1 youngster who got ditched due to injuries but was in the Conference TOTS, it's like us signing a very promising player from League 2 really. Obviously I'm defending the Gas here but that's because I genuinely think their business so far has been very good all jokes aside and I don't really believe in mindless "if they were good they wouldn't be going to Rovers," because we all know Little is a good player, no matter his injury record or his time at Bolton. Obviously we'll blow them completely out of the water with the transfer window we're bound to have, but I've always been a believer in credit where credit's due, despite the intent of this forum obviously. Of course we all know any decent signing they make usually ends up shit, but for now, give them credit.
