This reply on gaschat on the thread makes me chuckle: the difference being they have a tax dodging rosey cheeked lady garden chucking his laundered money at the plastics From the club registered in Jersey and the club with a ground consisting of plastic.

So get someone else to pay for their ground developments again!! What planet are they on?

Unbelievable. With a Google map as well!!!!

I wonder where that 1 poster they splashed out 20 quid for is?

Interesting thoughts from the numptys.. At least we have the opportunity. What they wont get is we will turnover in a season what they have probably turned over in their entire existence. How close are they to playing in Europe and this franchised nonsense proves they don't even know the meaning of the word. Hope they do go up. And SL has to throw shedloads of money at them to keep them up. But they still go tits up. This time for good. blueblood1883 Reserve Team 19 hours ago Quote Let the wooden heads dream for a few days longer... Another years delay to European dominance won't hurt our heavily franchised friends I'm sure...

Was the big screen turned on today or have they still not managed it?

I see Coughlan in the post was scouting at our meedweek game and has been watching championship games. Is he looking to surprise the football world signing Gayle or perhaps a ball boy!!

Have the local media not reported this perhaps because it is utter tosh. Do they still believe money wasn't the reason it didn't happen. Sorry I forgot Waels massive financial input to the club recently.

It must be killing them at the moment. Fifth in the Championship and 5th round of the FA cup. They are GD out of the league 1 relegation zone and looking forward to Sunderland smashing them in the Checkertrade! I bet if you offered gasheads their relegation to league 2 in exchange for us not getting in the premier league they would bite your hand off!

Losing to a Wally!!

Their manager clearly is clueless. According to his press conference he has no idea if Payne can play against them in a couple of weeks. Instead he hopes the pen pushers have done their job. Would they be the same people who had the water tight contract with sainsbury's. Hope they cocked up and he plays against them, has a blinder and scores a hat trick!!

So there big summer signing has gone and they are all celebrating and now they think Ellis Harrison is going to return. Hilarious!!

Oh dear gas heads. 1-0 to their favourite opposition

Henbury Gas in the know again!!! Not sure what our esteemed councillors can possible have against this pls. Pure jealousy!

Shouldn't it be called The Babe Station not The Gas Station?

One of their players a Michael Kelly on Brisrol Live reckons they have something to build on after a 3-1 loss to a bunch of kids. Blimey they set themselves low standards!!

I see they have a thread on their forum to predict the away following on Saturday. Obsessed is not the word!!

So the family aren't going to put any money in as the other shareholders of 8% won't. Forgive me if I am being thick but not sure how a few new sponsors who probably pay peanuts anyway, a refurbished bar done on the cheap and a new superstore with no shirts to sell, is going to generate the income to create a new training ground and build a new stadium. Perhaps our idiot mayor is saving the money from the never to be built arena to pay for it all.

Some great comments by gas heads on the post website about they can't afford a fgr striker I wouldn't blame him if he walked, the owner is a clown and a disgrace. For what DC has done for this club he deserves to be backed.

To an outsider it looks very much that the owner and board are not backing the manager with anything like the financial resources he needs. Traditionally Rovers have been run by small shopkeepers and the like on their board whilst City have often had bigger businessmen such as Dolman, Hobbs and Lansdown heavily involved with them. They have more resources. The euphoria when it was thought that Rovers were tapping in to lots of Middle East money has quickly evaporated once it became obvious that the Rovers backers are not in the same league as many from that area of the world who invest in English clubs. They are the Middle East version of the small shopkeeper.

Some quality pre season defeats against some really big teams for the gas!!

Still the new canopy they had installed on the side of the blue stand still looks mighty fine.

Oh yeah I find that. Everywhere I go and I say I am a city fan everyone stop talking to me and I am shunned. Meanwhile my gashead brother in law is treated like a king.

The following from gaschat is another winner. "They aren't billionaires because they found their money down the back of the sofa". I will correct this for them "they aren't billionaires and all they found was 20p down their sofa which will now be our rebuild fund". I may be talking out of turn here but I am certain that the Al Quadi family will have studied, planned and sorted out all the possibilities of how the Mem will be developed. They will also know how they will get the best financial return from the new stadium. They aren't billionaires because they found their money down the back of the sofa! Maybe they are keeping their plans close to their chest because it is all part of the big bluff to UWE. I genuinely believe that UWE thought they were dealing with gullible, rich foreigners who UWE would be able to pull the wool over their eyes and basically rip them off. Maybe now they are in a state of panic and Wael announcing alternative plans is just a ruse to make UWE think they are about to miss out on a fantastic opportunity to have A1 facilities on their campsite. With no new stadium they are left with nothing. Yes, maybe they could put houses on the land and make some money that way but that is short sighted and in the long run will not benefit the campus. Build a state of the art stadium with loads of facilities for their students to use for many years is a far better option. I may be wrong but I am not 100% sure that the UWE stadium is dead in the water....yet! The family have been damned good to us and haven't let us down yet and I don't see why they would in the future. Let's be patient and see what happens. In the mean time I am going to carry on with a far more important task and that is to support the Gas no matter where they play.COYB FTG

I see wael is calling for goal line technology for the mighty league 1in the Bristol post. More blame for anyone else but themselves and I am sure he will be more than happy to pay for the installation at the mighty revamped memorial ground!

What is it with daryl clarke interviews with his obsession with being the centre of everything. Yesterday it was "me players, me staff, me fans, me board, me owner". They dont belong to you dopey!!! I got the impression is was having a dig at the board and maybe a warning. Refered to trollope stagnating when in charge at not pushing on. I reckon if he doesnt get some money he is off and then they will be stuffed.
