Looks like it's 'kicking off!

That's a very long article that, which includes a lot of brown nosing of Wally and provides sod all new information. Typical Post article really!

They might be the oldest, or might not be, they are not the oldest league club but there is no doubt, they are the shittiest league club to have ever used the title of Bristol in their name. Whether they were in Bristol at a rented ground, in Bath at a rented ground, or in a rugby ground which now resembles their first home at Eastville with it's conglomeration of disjointed structures, they are still a shitty club.

You'll be a Liverpool fan by the time the competition is finished

European kit released, looks pretty good to me.

...if it’s raining.

They'll soon be able to boast Championship ready sprinklers and a covid compliant car park complete with shower.

It is what I said from the beginning. The post you have quoted is literally the first one I said on the matter.

Lovely picture of Holloway in the directors box at the Mem in that previous post.

Not at all difficult James, which is why I was confirming what you said ? .... but the pedantic follow up point I was making was that the "name" Bristol Rovers did not exist until 1899 but the "name" Bristol City existed in 1897.

It’s very much like Ben Dover complaining that his cock is bigger than Ron Jeremys,nobody gives a **** who is the oldest club or who has the biggest cock,but the answers are Bristol Rovers and me

Still yet to win under Garner without a penalty, or a red card for the opposition. They sometimes need both.

Coincidentally 300 bus stops is how they will build their new stadium

50% ?

We've all heard the funny car insurance claims havent we? (If you havent, PM me and I will paste them here in the thread.) Well what about letters to Islington town Council? from 'letters to the council' (allegedly) The council are their landlords. "I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off." "I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage." "Their 18 year old son is continuously banging his balls against my fence." "I wish to report that tiles are missing from the roof of the outside toilet and I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off." "The lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?" "I am writing on behalf of my sink which is coming away from the wall." "Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant." "I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen." "Can you please tell me when the repairs will be done as my wife is about to become an expectant mother." "I am still having trouble with smoke in my built in drawers." "The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared." "Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink." "Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now it is in three pieces." "Would you please send a man to repair my sprout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away." "I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up and it's getting too much." "The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous." "Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so will you please send someone around to do something about it." "I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would be pleased if you could do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night." "Please send a man with clean tools to finish the job and satisfy the wife." "I have had the Clerk of the Works down on the floor six times, but still have no satisfaction." "We are getting married in September and would like it in the garden before we move into the house." "This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can't get BBC2."

Visit your nearest non league ground. I have recently just watched 4 FA Cup qualifying games, following the winner of each tie. Next week I will be following Walton Casuals (tony gayle chairman) who are away at Sholin FC who play in Southampton. It has been a revelation friendly fans no nonsense and local bars and a good standard of football.

Gutted Glos didn’t go all the way but I’m pleased we finally broke our T20 QF hoodoo and made it to Finals Day at least. Notts were well deserved winners in all honesty!

Quite a common occurrence then.. My father was what you might call "open minded" and of course at Ashton to watch his reds with me one week,,,the next we'd be at eastville meeting his rovers supporting pal - a great guy,,won an MM in WW2....a very unassuming man as such people often are.. Seemed a normal thing for us to do at the time..very happy memories.
