This very important question has been asked many times on here already  

A thread was started in Feb 2023 by @Jerseybean and had lots of suggestions for some great pubs.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to be able post the link to it here (maybe someone else can?) but it was a thread for ‘best pubs for away fans’ as per photo below  

Probably be student flats sometime soon

On RB after the match, the summariser (haven’t a clue whom he was) said “I just hope that Matt can get it right because we all know that Rovers are a sleeping giant …”. FFS. Sleeping giant my arse. 

Sleeping giant? More like they’ve been put into a medically induced coma by Wally .

Not sure if this has already been posted on here, but I came across this photo recently. Looks like the old stand before the Dolman was still there (can just been seen sticking out on the right of the flats). 

If you zoom in enough you can see Del’s Reliant parked near the entrance..

From a mate of mines FB account, I’ve removed his name to save his shame!
Proper tinpot, a bar in a horse box

Careful….

That might just be the ‘Plum Bar’ which has been at Ashton Gate (by the stage in the fan zone) for a few seasons but now (due to having to change their business model to suit the club…) they are rarely there. Shame because not only were they nice people who worked hard to get people served quickly as possible the beers they sold were also very good.

Thanks. I was half watching and half doing something else and heard that he “hurt himself” playing a pass so wasn’t sure if his quad went again. 

I think at the time they may have been referring to Sykes?

How does he get away with shutting roads like he does? Police must hate these events surely? 

Indeed. I know they have events like carnival all over Somerset and Pride parades etc but this looked chaotic, quite unorganised, traffic disruption (hospital appointments anyone?) and lots of litter being thrown around.
Enjoy yourselves by all means but don’t expect others to pick up your rubbish at their expense.

It doesn’t seem right that, after paying for a service, it’s taken away. 

It wasn’t ’taken away’ - it wasn’t there in the first place - as per above comments read the T&C’s

Once ‘worked with a guy at Westland’s known as the GOAT - Guru Of All Things. Had a high opinion of himself and a right know all . 

I’m assuming the area around the Lansdown stand will get a facelift when the new entrance from the Wickes site gets completed?

I definitely saw him play for us, must have been a pre season friendly................I can remember him being subbed off injured !

As it happens I’ve just sorted through loads of old programmes…..

A stretch maybe but Dave Merrington played for us and was later Saints manager.

Done well to get a testimonial? I think he was a youth coach as well for a while?

There is free parking for a couple of hours (I think..) just on the right as you go into the Silver Zone. Lots of taxi drivers use it,  there is a shelter for prayers and a public loo. It’s quite near the Flying Club place. 
You can get the shuttle bus to the airport terminal - just make sure you get the right one otherwise it’s a long walk to the free area from the Silver Zone drop off. 

No doubt when too many people start using this free option the airport will stop it….

No he didn’t. You’ve repeated that line several times over the years and you’ve been shown he didn’t say it.

Yawn yourself. 
 

If anyone else had posted that reference you would have ignored it but because it was @Robbored you thought you’d join the gang. 
Childish and tantamount to bullying behaviour by posting replies which were not quite verbatim but were pretty close to it. There is an ignore button you can use if it bothers you that much.

Villa fielded the grand total of 2 English players yesterday including subs. So plenty of options for him to consider....

Indeed - @Bristolisredd - that’s one more than just watching Henderson , so maybe he’s atoned for making such a huge mistake……..

It’s all about opinions and something tells me he’s more qualified than you @Bristolisredd -  to make those decisions for the team he will be selecting.

Just wondering how many of these might still be around. 

If there was to be a suitable museum it might be of interest.

(Nearly 45 years ago, where has that time gone?)

 

 

Yep still got mine

Plymouth have turned up.....what a difference. 

Probably because they saw our game against them and have learned from our mistakes?

I hate to be the one to ask, but what actually is it? 

Beauty (and art) is in the eye of the beholder? Or depends on how many ciders you’ve had .

You used to have to have some money in your account, not much £5 or £10, a few years ago. Withdraw it back to your card 24 hrs later.

Good idea and it’s cheaper than using Robins TV and then flying out to Austria to watch it……

Had a busy few days cataloging over 340 old programmes but just found these….

Happy days!

Rats in the club shop?

Can I order a rat burger - tail on, mouldy cheese, cheapest mayo possible all in in a stale bun, rock hard skinny chips - no salt and vinegar as I like healthy food, and an out of date Fanta on the side please?

What’s your solution then? It’s easy to come up with the reasons not to, and the potential problems.

I’m not having a go at you. As a fan, I don’t want grounds closed or points deductions either. And I’m no fan of Infantino (who I suspect is saying this now in the hope it just blows over). But I also don’t think it’s right to just sit back and let this keep happening.

And, ultimately, it will reach the point where players walk off and stay off (and rightly so) - and then what do you do? Dock points from Coventry and Milan? 

No I don’t know what the answer is but I just thought Infantino hasn’t thought it through.

As for automatic forfeits; yes that could be open to fixing "it was a load of gurt teds" etc

Exactly what will happen and shows how out of touch Fifa president Gianni Infantino is with fans at the ground level. 
 

Are old EP newspapers no longer available at the Central Library?

I’m thought they used to have copies from years ago that you could research and copy off, unless it was just national papers they had there?

It seems like any events in the Uk where the good old British public turn up are targeted by either local councils , expensive  car park prices aka Bemmy cricket club / field next door , overpriced food & drink stalls and rogue merchandise sellers , I really wish the good old public would  100% boycott all of these things 

Bemmy cricket club is private land  - they can charge whatever they think they can get away with? 

Luckily  I’m still able (dry days..) to cycle down to the ground so a bit easier at the mo but it’s not going to get any easier with the agendas all the Councils have in place to make life difficult for car drivers
