  2. To be fair to the rest of them lot over there, the three replies to his rant are: "Got as far as think." "Jesus Wept" "No offence mate but you are an utter utter plum."

  5. And the Fewers wonder why we keep calling them the gift that keeps on giving.... That said, I did read earlier that a group of them have got together to do some restoration work on the memorial gates before remembrance Sunday after they were damaged, so hats off to them for that.

  8. It was only the fewers that started calling it a stadium when they gatecrashed their way in, it was the Memorial GROUND until that point.

  9. Those honours make Blackburn considerably bigger than we are. So if Rovers are bigger than Blackburn, and Blackburn are bigger than us, then Rovers are bigger than City. That ladies and gentlemen is how #GasLogic works.

  10. I think he is trying to say that because some of his "opinions" on football are more or less correct then his "opinion" that the Gas are bigger than Preston North End must also be correct. It's so flawed that it doesn't even deserve the term logic.

  11. Seen this debated many times. Due to their massive support and having exposure to the top flight perks, they would have been able to consolidate as a major prem league team. However this lunatic is not saying this and how his rant has any relevance to Bristol Rovers being bigger than several championship teams, I have no idea!

  13. I was at that Bolton game. As far as I can remember it’s all lies. In fact the adjoining door under the stand got kicked in by city and they ran into Bolton. Not condoning, just saying what I saw.

  15. Wow puts henbury gas to shame that lad. The whole "I believe I am on your forum" translates to "I always look on OTIB and I checked what it was you were saying about me, so I'll bite and make up a story about city looking silly".

  17. What truly baffles me on a general note though, is how Hillsborough- valued on a DRC basis in 2014 at £22.25m and a Revaluation Reserve of £6.778m, becomes £60m in 2018 (if it was even sold that year). Magic!! Chansiri is a magician- was there oil, gold or similar found under the site or something? Seemingly built in and around a flood plain/flood zone too, if that makes any difference. Also read that its designated use is leisure only- again, don't know if that's so relevant. I note that in 2013, there was a Revaluation Reserve of £3,615,000- that is the accounts for 2012/13 season. This became £6,778,000 in 2017/18. A gross uptick of £3,163,000. The total unrealised gain in the P&L was £3,276,000- Revaluation upwards in Tangible Fixed Assets for that year was £1,518,000... £60m though?? Oh yeah, the reason I state 2014 is because the last time that a valuation was disclosed on the balance sheet. The Revaluation Reserve naturally decreased in the subsequent 3 seasons- there was some work done perhaps but both this and the existing Net Book Value would still have been subject to depreciation too. Hence how I come to my valuation of around £30m or so. Edit, just looked- in the 3 years post 2014 Revaluation in accounts, they added £1,211,000 in terms of "Additions" under Tangible Fixed Assets- but this is gross of Depreciation, which came to £1,547,000 in those 3 seasons. If it's much above £30m I'd be interested indeed!

  18. Cardiff bought Sala, pronounced as much and cried crocodile tears when he died. That they now seek to argue the deal hadn't been completed in accordance with UEFA regulation when, so far as I understand, the loophole they seek to exploit relates to Nantes, Agents and Cardiff attempting to circumvent some of the reportable costs associated with transactions shows them to be the utter scumbags they've always been.

  20. It's got four stands, that not only run the full length of the pitch, but also have seats, and a roof, and not a bit of canvas in sight. All of which the 15ers sadly lack. Agreed though, by the standards of any other club, it is a shithole.

  21. To be fair, the cameraman has done a good job on Loftus Rd there, it's not a great ground. Fulham are a bit of an exception, isn't their ground Grade 2 listed or something?

  23. Yep, they are bigger than Blackburn Rovers - a club that has won the top division in English football on three occasions! ....and to add to that list, some of them recently insisted they were bigger than Norwich and as big as Wolves, West Ham and Southampton and they’ve also recently compared their away support to Liverpool’s away following .... it just beggars belief .... but it also keeps us laughing and that’s a good thing! ??

  24. Never seems more than a day passes without some form of stupidity emanating from our friends in blue. Still, it's good to have this thread so as we can all laugh at them together.

  25. Massive understatement. They come out of this absolutely stinking of shit. Disgusting what they're doing to try and get out of a relatively small transfer fee, given the sums of money they would've received from reaching the Premier League. Sadly, I think a lot of clubs would've taken this sort of action, as it seems money is everything to them.

  26. Holy Shit! ?? Former League Champions and 6 times FA Cup winners Blackburn Rovers? QPR, Fulham, Charlton, Wigan, Preston and Luton have all had many years in the top flight and plenty of honours between them. No chance they are bigger than Barnsley or Millwall. All those clubs listed get bigger support. No wonder this thread is so long. The gift.

  27. We? So if there are already a few dozen fans planning/determined to sing songs then we're already effectively sanctioned. If the club take all reasonable steps to prevent disorder then I'm not convinced it's ever right to punish the majority for the acts of a few.

  30. There's only one thing about the sliding scale of penalty. Suppose a club knows it is running close to the ffp limits at the end of season two of the three year cycle, but goes for broke by paying a big fee and big wages for a striker in the summer window. The amortised fee and wages total £4m, which is enough to take them £4m over the ffp limit. According to the sliding scale you posted, this would result in a a 5 point deduction, but if the strikers goals meant that the club had a 6 point cushion at the top of the table at the end of the season, then even with the points deduction they would still gain promotion. They would have gained promotion by cheating if the rest of the division was compliant. By the same token, suppose another club has worked diligently to keep within ffp and sold key players to do so.In the third year of the three year cycle they are struggling near the foot of the table, as they have only a young and inexperienced squad, but at the start of the season their main sponsor goes bust so they do not receive any of that sponsorship income for the final season. With the sponsors income they would be inside ffp limits, but without it they end up £200,000 over the limit. The sliding scale 3 point penalty is enough to relegate them as they were just 2 points above the drop zone. In the case of the relegated club, they breached because of factors outside of their control, whereas the promoted club gained advantage by consciously breaking ffp limits, but in so doing gained enough points advantage so that the ffp point deduction was no penalty at all. The impact of the bigger points deduction is nothing compared to that of the lesser points deduction and disproportional to the reasons for each club breaching the ffp limits. For this reason, and even though I can understand the problems it could/would cause, the only way I can see ffp offenders being properly and family punished is by each case being considered on it's own merits. Why should any club gain promotion if they have breached the financial limits to which the rest of the division have adhered ?
