pongo88 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 8 hours ago, Miah Dennehy said: Ah right, we have something similar at the Mem, it's called the car park, it has several portacabins some of which you can buy scarves & rossettes in and once you walk through the 'car park' you can go through the turnstiles where we have 'pasty huts'. Please don't let the name mislead you though, these 'pasty huts' don't only sell pasties, they do pies and sausage rolls as well Miah, you have consistency in your belief of the unbelievable and I admire you for that, but I think you should change your forum name. Those who know anything about Saxon history (and who doesn’t?) will have heard of Æthelred the Unready. His name is a bit misleading as his epithet does not derive from the modern word "unready", but rather from the Old English unræd (meaning "poorly advised"). Perhaps you could change your name to “ Miah the unready” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucky Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 This comment on the posts site cracked me up. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-how-attractive-bristol-rovers-2094981#comments-section "Fanatical What a pity OldFrank does not think before he writes. BRFC has minimum debt and the fact that there is borrowing against the Stadium has no relevance whatsoever to a potential takeover. The Club has an underlying value in its latent support which has been waiting to be realized for years and is only held back by its lack of facilities. An investment of £20 million at the Mem or £40 million at a new stadium would bring the sort of returns being witnessed at Ashton and at places like Brighton. That is what investment is all about "to invest is to distribute money in the expectation of some benefit in the future" Wikipedia." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 36 minutes ago, Alan Dicks said: And you went straight back down the season after ! They managed three seasons of second tier football in the 90s, finishing higher than us in one of them. Around Easter '93 we beat them at AG and this helped relegate them shortly after. They have not been back to the second tier since. Rovers have only had three spells in the second tier (90/91 to 92/93; 74/5 to 80/81; 53/54 to 61/62) spending fewer seasons at this level each time. If/when they next reach this level, they'll do damn well to last more than one season in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
