  1. He failed to get selected for the new constituency of bristol north east even labour party members didn’t want this arrogant person - he and Brian Tinnion should get married they deserve each other.
  2. i agree its a real issue for some of us. i think the clubs can’t officially condone standing except in designated areas so can’t offer areas for sitting only and the only answer is to allow supporters to choose seats but even when you get a seat close to the front (like QPR last year) you still get selfish idiots who think they’re ‘real’ supporters by standing up in front of you - and they’re not all kids
  3. Steve Lansdown is no football fan in the way most of us are. He’s a very wealthy individual who wants to have a legacy. His son was a fan but has moved away and is not engaged. They don’t like managers who talk back. Lee Johnson, Dean Holden, keith millen, and Derek McInnes were all completely or very inexperienced in english football management and could be expected to keep on message and not criticise. The only two experienced managers Cotterill and now Pearson are out because they see through the incompetence and lack of vision from the top. Lansdown got lucky with Gary Johnson but to be honest. it ended badly because Johnson was not really a championship/premier league manager as his later career sadly confirmed and Lansdown kept him when it was clear the players were losing trust. And lets not forget Steve Coppell who saw the writing on the wall and got out before he even started. Steve Lansdown has put a lot of money in to his project but its not just about football its rugby basketball and his legacy, and because of this lack of focus and maybe, in the past, with supporting inadequate managers because he was happy with them on a personal basis we have drifted for too long. He wants to sell and is just treading water till he can find someone to buy him out - and i get better the devil you know - but I genuinely believe the Lansdown’s want out and sadly Mr Lansdown thank you but the sooner the better.
  4. Can we park at ashton gate tomorrow if on the coach does anyone know?
  5. Slightly off the current issues, when I heard the booing of wigan no11 My initial thought was that he was an ex gashead. Obviously not but it did make me think we now rarely come up against any ex rovers players, they have not produced upwardly moving players for many years now. Don’t want to every see them at the gate but liked the odd player turning up we could all boo.
  6. I visited the store last week seeking a 14/15 year old away strip as a Christmas present - like everyone else was told no chance no stock and none till next year. Went online and the strip was available on line so purchased it not in any real hope of getting it but i picked it up today. Maybe i was lucky but i would suggest you try on line. The whole thing smacks of incompetence though.
  7. i’m watching the afternoon performance of to kill a mockingbird in the west end - london is rammed with people going to the theatre. We had a minutes silence - cannot see the difference to this and a football match
  8. the player the wife and the manager. keep the manager transfer the player not sure what happened to the wife maybe never happened it was all long ago
  9. No - i’m Very careful whose car I get in. To be fair particularly if they where blue and white quarters
  10. your right about it being a special event - we had just gone up under gary johnson and i saw no prospect of visiting the new wembley anytime soon - so my son and i got tickets. in the shrewsbury end of course. shrewsbury scored the first goal - you could feel the pain it was wonderful! didn’t last sadly but worth the money to see the new wembley
  11. I read somewhere on this thread about the tents and how long they’ve been there - so looked up Bristol planning portal and found the application 06/02073/F | Erection of additional temporary seating. (650 Seats) in the form of two stands - Stand B to the rear of Strathmore Road adjacent to the existing west stand, and Stand C attached to the existing south stand nearest Alton Road. | The Memorial Stadium Filton Avenue Bristol BS7 0AQ it was a temporary approval for 3 years from 2006 to 2009 can’t find any extension of time - anybody expert enough to know why it’s still there - if it’s because of subsequent planning applications allow it to remain the last one for the superstore runs out this year and if they haven’t submitted anything about stadium redevelopment by the summer I think the tents need to go!!
  12. sorry if this is covered somewhere else on the site but I listened to the guy from UWE on radio Bristol who seemed to be committed to a scheme at the campus and he was very clear that a site with planning permission for a stadium was a very special commodity. Is it possible they could find another partner? is forest green rovers not looking for a new stadium and as this site is in (greater) Gloucestershire would they be interested in taking up the offer as forest green can't have a great local support - as nobody lives in Nailsworth long term this might suit their ambitions I think that truly would be the death knell of Bristol rovers.
  13. i think there is one other factor which has worked against the rovers for at least most of the last 40 years. migration to bristol of people who want to watch football like me. i came in 1973 the year of smash and grab but i chose city for better players, better facilities and better opposition . since then only for a couple of years have they had a better team and never the better ground the gap on all of this is getting greater with their owner looking like no billionaire - attracting newcomers to bristol to the rovers rather than city will be really hard unless their masochists
  14. I went with my grandson because it was Boxing Day and too far to wolves -bit weird the whole thing - atmosphere good but i find it quite weird that people are so enthusiastic about a complete embarrassment of a team - if the city were in their position the atmosphere would be toxic. For the city of Bristol and because they were robbed by the blue and white quarter I hope they stay up
