Defamation, slander, libel (etc..) are all civil matters except in a very few select circumstances (members of the higher echelons of the Royal Family, certain Crown Officers, blah, blah, blah......), so the Police would not be involved. I think we've been here a few (hundred) times...... But... HG made an allegation of an assault and did this is a very public way so the Police (in the form of JulieH) had an obligation to investigate what could have been a criminal matter. Again, I think we've covered this more than a few times. Can we agree that HG is an irrelevance and stop mentioning him or this alleged incident?

These is no such thing as 'division 5' it's a term they invented to try to disguise that they were NON-LEAGUE

Some delusional has started yet another thread on CH4Drivel about the new stadium and UWE taking over the Mem for student housing. I lost the will to live but 'Marvin the Mare' is involved too (even though UWE ain't in Bristol). http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/12853/uwe-marvin-bristol-rovers Meanwhile in more plausible news Lord Lucan and Shergar have been found sharing a house in Knowle West.

That whole end only holds about 1200 so there are 400 there tops - plus 5000 in the home end and 2500 in the executive boxes of course.

They joined the League in 2015

Double stable* doors, four windows that open. I meant 'why did they bother?', my shed on the other hand serves a number of purposes and it built to last. *no horses before the blue duo come looking

My shed is bigger than that.....and better built.....and probably cost more. Seriously, why?

Sunday afternoon wasn't it? I was driving along the M32 going out of town and couldn't believe it. If memory serves the manager at the time was Don Megson and when he asked about whether any cups had been destroyed the fire service said not to worry as the fire hadn't reached the canteen. Later that season the trophy room was burgled and the entire contents were stolen. Police later apprehended two men who were in possession of 20 square yards of blue carpet.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind

How far down the pyramid does that go do you think? Relegated this year, administration next triggering a points deduction that makes back-to-back relegations more likely and start 20-21 season as non-league either in their current guise or as a phoenix. Wouldn’t want Bristol Sport to go near them though.

Which explains why Burnley reached Europe in the 1960s when their chairman was a butcher.

Has the season started then?

You have to make profits to pay Corporation Tax. You seldom do anything in business solely ‘for tax reasons’, If benefits through reduced taxation are your determining criterion then you’ve probably got it wrong........

As with most things, depends if you are buying or selling

More likely 400k rising to maybe 750k

Er.... that’s 33

£138 12 shillings and 11 pence

You know it’s Barcelona for £92 million really

Speculation on Fartchat started at £750k and now at £1.6m. So it’s £300k but we are paying 96x what they are paying him. Better than joining us would be stepping up to join Salford or Billericay.

Rockingham Road was a very decent non-league stadium, demolished now (sadly).

All fans are eternal optimists in pre-season. If mid-table is expected by the majority then a relegation scrap is the most likely outcome.

I was thinking about where our blue friend* may have got his extensive legal training and that course popped into my head. To be fair, I don’t even know if there is a BTEC Media Studies course!

Libel is almost invariably concerned with the written word. Both libel and slander are civil matters unless they involve the Crown, some offices of state, and a few other weird and wonderful exceptions. This area is one of the most arcane and fascinating areas of UK law in my humble opinion and wouldn’t be covered in the BTEC media studies course.

I am sure your extensive legal training will mean you know the difference between an “alleged claim” and a “claim alleged”.
