  1. Umbro have had a shocker https://twitter.com/BristolBears/status/1299247847666319361?s=20 ?
  2. Is there any benefit to having them in the city? Detracts from City, Bears and Flyers who would likely benefit from them moving out of the city or going non-league permanently. Would be great for all of the above and Bristol Sport (and sport in Bristol), how about replacing them with rugby league or an American football team or speedway or something? Would have more than an air of karmic justice also.
  3. Why isn't it a place they can call theirs after owning it for more or less 20 years, basically a quarter of a century? After they stole the ground (would have loved a forensic financial investigation) halted all further developments, didn't maintain properly, and almost caused the rugby club to go extinct with pure greed and short termism, surely it's all of their own making. They have had a prime asset for so long and have now squandered it all. I have no real sympathy.
  4. Speaking of that, just noticed from the piece linked above (http://www.rageonline.co.uk/fans-view-2019-20-no-8-bristol-rovers-away/) that Dwane Sports Ltd own 92.6% of Bristol Rovers 1983 Ltd... so using their logic they're a year younger?
  5. It would be ironic and I would get a kick out of it but it just shows how much the Bears have grown when 20k is probably too small given the upward trend and realistic ambition. With some success at the upper end of the table and Europe well over 20k averages is likely, it's not far off now. Last season in respective leagues Bears doubled Rovers average attendance plus 26k highest vs 10k highest for Gas, the difference is more than they can even fit in the memorial ground... which coincidentally is also what they've sadly run it into. Bristol Sport have shown what could have been done if Rovers had any sense instead of blind, selfish short termist greed and thievery/skullduggery. Reaping what was sown all those years ago. Mutually beneficial top class football of all kinds at the wonderful Ashton Gate is on the horizon, plus all the community work and everything else. At this stage what benefits do Rovers bring to sport in this city? Where will they be in 10 years time?
  6. Hope that never happens, a bit of red is fine and the last two designs have been great and good respectively. Probably end up looking like Glaws. Would have been nice to have a red away kit and maybe a nod to Bris in City away kit but that was before rebrand and bears. Now I would love to tie the clubs together with the purple and lime kits, not exactly common in either sports.
  7. Prefer last season's kit but it's still good. I think this one needed hoops on the arms like the previous year, it's lacking white too. I like the modernisation of our shirts, the colour scheme of predominantly blue with white and a splash of red isn't common in rugby so it's good from a marketing perspective. Re-signings are the most important for me, as will be other re-signings later in the year. Every one of these is significant, would like to see the likes of Sheedy, Prothero and Woolmore added to the extensions/new contracts too.
  8. Lost it and still not found it, buzzing about
  9. I'm still salty. However a regular on the Wuss forum who likes his stats has put up finishing positions IF current form from the previous 5 is maintained; Exeter 81 Saracens 74 Gloucester 64 Harlequins 62 Saints 52 Bath 50 Sale 49 Bristol 46 Wasps 43 Warriors 41 Falcons 39 Tigers 38 Doubt it would happen but I would giggle and expect no relegation to arrive at the last minute. What's interesting to me is that Rugby Pass' RPI had a similar projection on form before the break (Bris were 6th then though after the Northampton win). Maybe that will cheer some up.
  10. We are Wuss' cup final but we never seem to realise it. Glad I'm not there as I'd be very miserable. How there wasn't a penalty awarded for that scrum demolition at the end I have no idea, Luke Pearce again does the dirty on Bris.
  11. I won't be there unfortunately, but will be watching live on the rugby pass so I hope everyone who is going makes up for the absence of that myopic shouty bloke in the Lansdown.
  12. Oh and here's the bottom half of the latter if anyone is interested;
