  1. Your not alone, we work one weekend in three so when the game changed to Friday offered to work the weekend so I could have a weekend owed, then they go and change it back. so I am stuck at work, can't even listen to it on the radio as I will be stuck on a reception.
  2. Seriously you had to quote the entire bloody thing to do that, who else do you think people thought you were replying too ? Seriously annoying just reply to the thread don't quote the whole thing. Nice write up Hav. Ooops
  3. Yes they then changed their name and came under the Bristol sport umbrella. I think we need to be clear that Bristol sport are a company that offer marketing, legal advice, expertise in sports and commercial facilities. They as far as I know do not own any of the entities. So if any of the sports teams wanted they can go elsewhere. I think it makes perfect sense to outsource all this stuff myself, and until Bristol sport **** up I can't see why any of them would want to part ways.
  4. When it comes to the women's team, Al Qadi had a clarification to make about their local rivals, saying: "Bristol City didn't invest in women football, they stole our team. Their women's team was Rovers'. The former owner decided to stop funding the women's team. Our job is to recapture it." wow, no one owns them, they are a club in their own right are they not?
  5. Bert is get to elegant in his posting and style to be any of those.
  6. I think he believed in Lee Johnson as a player (as in the player Lee Johnson and not that he was a player who believed in Lee Johnson)... errr
  7. I would not be happy if we did anything that allowed Rovers to stay at the Mem. If SL purchased it and Rovers built something small and sustainable elsewhere maybe, but I just don't think we should assist them in anyway to stay there.
  8. SL didn’t just sanction it, he ordered it he ordered it he ordered it he ordered it he ordered it he ordered it he ordered it
  9. I would kind of support a small stadium somewhere like this, but I would be disappointed if it happened at the Mem. Maybe if SL bought the Mem and made it into community facilties and Rovers use the money to make a small 10,000 seater somewhere shared with a non league team maybe.
  10. Something wrong with my radio - they said Smith had scored.... those jokers !
  11. he's like 5 minutes ahead of the live game - players in the stadium didn't even know about the goal
  12. When playing teams struggling at the bottom you need to consider them your bread and butter points in the bag - we just can't seem to ever do it. Imagine if we had 9 points from these games instead of 2 (potentially 1 or 4).
  13. Why not just see out the last couple of minutes as though it was 1-0 at 90 mins with us on the back foot
  14. I think they could have a lot of joy against a slow defence playing balls behind them to run onto..
  15. I still don't understand what people think they have spent money on.
  16. But have they really put any money into the club ? They paid some of the previous stakeholders Higgs etc - but how much ? Higgs was about to lose everything as all lines of credit had been used up to the point they needed Wonga loans. They may have got the club for very little. The outlay has been, well contracts and they are obviously paid over the length of the contract e.g. Darrell over 5 years, all the new staff etc being paid monthly. We know they had their season tickets cash injected at the beginning of the season, so how much money have they actually put in ? The land at the colony was cheap and probably worth more than they paid (maybe why it's been put into a separate company so they can keep it if the club goes under). But other than consultants, legal costs they cannot have spend much. The disabled "Stand" was paid for by supporters, I cannot see what they have actually bought/paid for/invested other than the Europa league ready sprinklers.
  17. yep, for a couple of million they get a team and brand new stadium - probably couldn't believe their luck.
