What did he do? 

Pulled on the shirt and ran on the field, offensive and violent to my eyes...4 games, no punishment, extend contract to 4 years punishment!

Just watched the highlights, only twice was the ball in the PV half, at the start of a PV attack......it must have been bad as there's normally one noteworthy hoof over the goal line or weak header or kick included to show some semblance of non-bias

Bristol C - Top flight and FA Cup runners up, get treble the scum’s crowds and have been in a higher division than them for 23 years and counting.

Rent Boys - FA Trophy First Round Runnersup.

I think we heard you the first time

It's also worth noting that every club listed (bar Luton 300 less, but all seated and not reliant on terraces) has a significantly bigger ground as well as better team than them

300 Loyal and True made the trip, according to Radio Bristol - lots skiing, so can’t make it!

Get rid and replace with who?

this season’s gone…get 9 points, line up a replacement, sack, appoint, put Tinnion back in his box, lock lid, buy, sell and start again…….but that won’t happen….however, Oxford followed the same pattern and took off next season, only to be scuppered when we took him…..

John Lansdown knows best, a successful man with proven skill at building a business from nothing..or not - as the case may be

Even better

Man in the Basement (Disney +) (The actual title)

the story of a young manager held captive by two eastern gents near the foot of a ladder- as the series season goes on the young manager experiences many disappointments….

Jonny Ray is an experienced live presenter and voice over artist  description of his voice:

Additional skills: 
Experienced professional radio broadcaster at local, regional and national level. Presentation experience includes live and pre-recorded programmes, live general election coverage, news, current affairs, entertainment, sport, religion & faith. Can record VOs at home or on location.

i note from his CV that sport does feature , but what sport!—- he’s got a managing media MSC from Stirling University!!!!!

I Suspect he has shockingly poorly paid and inexperienced research assistant/social media reader feeding him the lines…..he sounded horribly unconvincing for an experienced presenter and voice over artist - unless he specialises in amateur and hyper register ham DJ characterisation…… 

Dog sh*t performance today, lacked pace, accuracy, effort and thought…believed the hype/tired/a collective bad day? Who knows! The Quirky Park Wranglers could not believe their luck, got their tails up and went for it, by far the best team in the second half….all I’d say is how sh*te are they only to score one…but fair play they put in the effort and ran the game.

personally I don’t think we’ve gone backwards, just a very bad day at the office for all - except Max

next game will give a better indication

What cock thought it would be a good idea to close off a lane of Coronation Rd to allow Disney to film, when you’ve got 20,000 leaving the ground….unbelievable thoughtlessness by the Council….

Why is there a hospital DJ doing a sports programme? Had to turn it off, his lack of local/any knowledge and, at best, patronising manner made me very angry…what a ****, but not as big a tw** than the moron who gave him the job!

They bang on about their high percentage away following compared with home attendance.

But, they should really start to look at their pitiful home crowds compared with how many travel away. That's their real problem.

They are trying very hard to reduce the percentage of home fans travelling to 10%….However, it would appear that only 0.5 to 0.1 of their “potential support” travel away

I just cannot believe anyone would post such lies in a public forum…. I suspect conspiracy on a huge scale

Anyone hear that radio Bristol interview from Taylor? Was very f****** damning for the state of that club 

Fair play to him, suggesting the team was not where certain persons claimed it was….basically….play offs, you’re having a laugh

New Minimal Patch East Stand Roof support design will unify with state of the art South Stand design and be continued to create 16,000 all seated bowl - Owner claims   a multiple pillars of wisdom approach will lead to the promised land within several years.

Transforming the Memorial Stadium:

Upon taking the helm, we quickly discovered that the developer involved in the previous stadium development plans at the fruit market site had regained his senses and decided not to proceed further with the project. While acknowledging this initial setback, we swiftly shifted our focus towards revitalising the heart and soul of our club: the Memorial Stadium. The opening of the South Stand has demonstrably enhanced the match day atmosphere, serving as a mere glimpse of what is to come due to pillars blocking the line of sight. Our ambitious vision is to expand the stadium's capacity to 16,000, creating a vibrant and intimidating fortress that will resonate with your unwavering support for our first team. We will keep you informed of our progress as we navigate the planning and approval process with the city council and you will be able to use their planning portal to check we are telling the truth [edit, is this right Alf ?] . We will share our designs and plans once we have obtained all the necessary approvals.

 

Oh dear,  how can such a massive club not plan to build a stadium that houses at least 25% of their "potential support"....he had better put his tin hemet on I sense the thousands locked out every game will not be pleased 

Should have been Gary Stanley and his lovely hair cut

You’re gonna get your ****in’ heads kicked in

15,000?

Do I hear 12,000? Sold to the man with the Kuwaiti bank account.

They struggle to get 9000, so I can’t see why they need more than 12,000.

If Pompey & Derby go up they sure aren’t getting 3000 away fans against Burton, Fleetwood or Stockport County, are they?

I know the local media like to perpetuate this false equal coverage bollocks but I don’t see the point of them.

Like the Daily Mail and local library it’s a refuge for the aged population..I look upon them as a non tax draining public service for a dwindling minority. At some point a Middle Eastern conglomerate will redevelop the Mem into a North Bristol protected housing complex for those professional persons currently occupying houses in Redland. An excellent long term investment strategy - They could build the new stands with a simple Highbury style conversion end game in mind.

This is from a poster who seems to be articulate but is still deluded. Why would they need another stand when they can't fill the recently opened bus shelter? And why do they need a 15,000 capacity when their gates are about half that?

The owners really need to step up PDQ and deliver at least a new East stand and improve The Quarters. A 15,000 capacity with 10,000 seats should be fine for a while if funds are tight for a complete revamp.

 

TBH he’s probably right, 15,000 and a Mem revamp is all they need. This will allow for adequate segregation, the odd big cup draw, relegation deciders and non-football events. It will also allow the club further opportunity to miss deadlines, fail to apply for planning permissions, ignore building regs, not consult and cross swords with the Greens…. Demonstrating the club’s world class abilities in these areas.

As they are only too happy to point out when it comes to us, those figures are tickets sold. The number who actually bothered to show up will be lower…much lower knowing them.

Thank God they built that new stand that they assured us they needed…

Build it and they will cum

Build it and they won’t come

They must be the only club in the country to have 'potential support"

Their "build and they will come" theory of supporter attendance growth is wholly based on the concept of potential support. Of course, this is not baseless. Highly skilled gas data analysts have made complex calculations against verified sources including: IKEA nee Eastville attendance data from the 1950s (closest comparable stadium and demographic); 40,000, no 50,000 or could it have been 60,000 at Wembley; 8,000 at Blackpool; 20,000 locked out at Maidstone/Maidenhead etc.; and the reoccurring problem of the many 1000's locked out of the memorial stadium on a weekly basis.

Findings are clear, the Mem should have an all seated and covered capacity of between 18 and 96,000, once in place crowds will flock, the team will perform and Rovers will realise their potential support.

Simples!

Our first season in Div 4 is the only season in the last 56 years where they’ve had higher average crowds. The following season with us still in Div 4 and them in Div 3 we averaged higher crowds than them

What they consistently fail to mention whenever they talk about our poor crowds in the early 80s is that their attendances were either just as bad, or worse than ours.

They also seem to forget it's been 48 years since they last managed an average attendance over 10k and only gained a season highest attendance of over 10k 20 times during that period.....so their "potential support" theory seems to have little substance either! 

Hope: we keep on hoping

expect: very little

hope: we do not become a premiershit franchise style product…

expect: not to see hundreds of coaches from distant cities spewing out city shirted followers with fake accents shouting “cheers drive”

hope: I can still afford my season ticket

expect: grey with rare dazzling sunshine
