What an incredibly gracious, patient and lovely thing to say. Not many of us would be so potentially forgiving in the face of such behaviour.

Thanks Phil. much appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet Steve for that interview - it was at the start of his trip to the UK which included a book launch at Ashton Gate and at Wrexham, where he played much of his career.

ha ha no. I'm a news reporter, not a football writer... gotta admire the ambition there tho...

Anyhow, the good news is, the email I, and others, sent to the stadium asking them to turn the bright digital ad screens down, seems to have worked. It's been better since then. So there we go...

Ah so you ARE a fan then. An avid reader! I knew it! in my defence tho, all anyone has to do to see that I'm a reporter at the Post, apart from using the internet, is to click on my little badge thing on here, and it comes with all the other times people have had a go at me for being a reporter on the Post. So that might be a bit of a clue? Ha ha. Hello!

I wrote those four sentences in about 14 seconds, cheers. It was easy. Not a struggle at all.

Now now no need to start calling people names is there? I haven't once hidden the fact that I'm a reporter for the Post on this forum. In fact, that reply you quoted was in response to someone joking that I should complain to myself about the bright lights. I think that whole exchange maybe went over your head, perhaps?

pretty sure Bristol Live did report on this case, yeah... This was the article online on the day you wrote this https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/joey-barton-trial-verdict-bristol-6301397 yawn....

you alright mate? life must be dull if you screenshot my twitter page, post it here and call it 'interesting'. :laugh:

Ha ha. Now Gregor's gone I don't know who to complain to!!! But nah, it would be better to complain to the club direct...

I was so blinded I just remember the colours. The bright white, orange, red and yellow ones were the worst. I think there was a white one for eBay, which made me never want to use eBay ever again

Hello all Before I send my email to the club, I was just wondering if anyone else also has trouble watching the game because of the bright illuminated advertising boards around the pitch, or if it is just me? On Saturday, it felt worse than ever, probably because it was grey and gloomy. When the floodlights aren't as bright as the perimeter ad boards, then it's hard to watch. This is especially a problem when the action is at the Atyeo end (I sit in the South Stand). It's like squinting at silhouettes, or the equivalent of going to the cinema trying to watch a film and having someone shine a torch in your eyes while you try to watch a film.

did a bit of digging on this one, and wrote this about Mr Menayese https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-rovers-player-convicted-violence-1949726

they should be made to fight while going down that slightly pathetic water slide they had up park street a couple of years ago.

tbf the fella at the end chucking the bar stool over the car was fairly impressive. even though it didn't appear to hit anyone

My bad. Fixed now. *Rovers fans chanting GHS. obviously *eyerollemoji* (thanks for the love )
