So in the sit-com who will play Dopey, and who will play The Delusionist? Is Bob Carolgees still alive..? He'd probably be suitably comfortable with most of the role. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how they suddenly show some interest for cup matches at big grounds they rarely visit but only manage a meagre 400 or so when visiting Bradford and Bury. Only 8000 of them again at home last Saturday. God knows why they insist on bringing up attendances all the time? we'll have at least 11k more then that figure on saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would then be struggling with is how to feel about that phoenix club. Would I wish them success as fans trying to do the right thing? Or would I still see them as bristol rovers and wish nothing but misery on the side, hoping they got stuffed by Almondsbury U16's or the like every week? I just can't decide for certain, but at the moment am coming down on the side of wishing them misery still.... Trouble with that is that the Pheonix club would need to find somewhere to play...almost certain that they'd be licking their lips at planning an assault on Ding's new ground in Frenchay before stealing it from them in a few years time! Let the ******* rot, I say. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games involving us and Wolves? Tomorrow night will be the 66th meeting between the two clubs! And that sums up the difference between the two clubs,wolves away is a bid deal for them,just another championship game for us,watch out they're coming for us mind, tick tock.

Oh Dear 2; http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/10677/fan-ejections A reasonable opening post, but then excuses given for those who were ejected. I see our friend from Henbury is addling his own little brain again. On the one hand it was only 'alleged' racist language and on the other "the gentleman in question is from the old school and does not see anything wrong about using the same language that was acceptable in the 1970's". Our friend from Henbury hopes the club will provide him with some education (effectively admitting that it wasn't alleged at all but did actually take place, thus contradicting himself). There's also this bizarre defence that the gentleman in question has done a lot of good works for others - predominantly white, Bristolian R*vers fans by the looks of things. In the mind of our friend from Henbury, philanthropy and racism obviously can not be mutually exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 "I Understand our chairperson had a meeting with our Mayor of Bristol" Stated as if this was some sort of positive news! You mean the same major who to date has achieved absolutely nothing since he has been in power other than successfully organising a protest against government austerity policy at the same time as going cap in hand with a plan to spend 5 billion quid on an underground system!

bert tann Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 23 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: Sorry Bert - did you mean sell off the ground rather than the club? That's mad. Current position is: Ground valued at £11m Loan from Dwane Sports now c. £9m secured against it and accruing interest at 6% - so currently over half a million a year. Land for training ground c. £1m If the ground is sold for the £11m today then the loan is repaid. This leaves: £2m cash Land for training ground c. £1m The annual losses are running at c. £1.3m before interest and before paying any rent to play at the now sold ground (assuming they still can) so say ?£0.3m to rent it at a 3% return. After one year: £0.4m cash Land for training ground c. £1m Atfer two years: -£0.2m overdraft Training ground sold. Hmmm... this looks like a cracking plan Selling the land for development I think Eddie, apparently Rovers need more Lebensraum. in Stephen Hamster's statement to the Bristol Post today he talks about stadium redevelopment and says "I really hope that progresses" followed by "if it is The Memorial Stadium to be improved". I don't think you could get a clearer indication that the plan has changed again. He also says some fans like The Mem but they have to realise "you have to move on and make it better" but that sounded to me as if the "make it better" bit was an add on for effect. And then he used the example of Brentford to say that sometimes you have to accept a reduced capacity. A cynic may conclude that The Mem is to be sold to pay back the loan and the people he was talking to were from the local authorities who were being begged to provide Rovers with a modest stadium of limited capacity so that we still have somewhere to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
