Was all over Gaschat. Rovers have one natural winger and have loaned out their second choice Sam Matthews as soon as Johnson is released, seems a bit too coincidental. Now, that, with all possible respect, is the sort of information we want on here. Nothing about whether Graham 'final turd' Cockroach is any good or not as we don't give a toss, nothing about how you've played etc, definitely no match reports, just ammunition to rip the piss.

I'm sure this thread would've been all over it if Clarke or Coughlan were even remotely in the wrong, I mean it was after Taylor's celebration against Oxford.

Everything I have ever said about Matty Taylor whilst at Rovers I instantly took back the day we signed him, what a glorious day that was btw more steam coming from your lots boiled piss than Avonmouth Docks.

Of course, there are lots of families from hell, throughout their traditional catchment areas. Whereas, those families from hell in our traditional catchment areas, also support Rovers.

Eddie Hitler Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I was wondering upthread what had happened to their AGM and it seems I'm not alone as it was March 19th last year and still hasn't been announced. http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/14110/agm The required date for filing accounts at Companies' House is nine months after the end of the relevant accounting period so for their 30 June 2018 accounts that's 31 March 2019 or rather this Friday as that's the last working day. This level of delay is unusual and suggests material uncertainty in the accounts meaning that they're going to the wire. Two possible reasons come to my mind: New owners are imminent so they are being held back as this would be a material post balance sheet event so would need to go in the notes. Or the usual guarantee of financial support for the next year may not have been forthcoming meaning that the accounts can't be drawn up on the "going concern" basis. Or they could just be trying to generate interest in a dull set of accounts by holding them back until the last minute; and they've succeeded with that one anyway.

In the past, I’ve had to wait until the very last minutes to get my accounts done, because I’ve not had the money spare to pay the accountants to do them. Thats sounds like the most likely case for them too..! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all his monetary restrictions, Wally does seem to be a football fan. Granted, a fan of Chelsea, but a fan all the same. Can't imagine for one moment he would see the Fewers fail. If they are moving on, they might well end up taking a loss overall. I would be surprised if they walked away in profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring Sag Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 15 hours ago, Gazred said: Hence the question. I reckon they would. There's an argument to be made for the rehabilitation of people into society as he's served his time, and he may have served less had he not been a professional footballer. So I can kind of understand the argument for why to. But there's many more reasons for why not. Football players are supposed to be role models, he's not one. The negative traction he would bring to the club would divide a club that has become together (so far) under Coughlan. And even from a footballing standpoint, he's been in prison for years, it'll take months for him to get back to full fitness, by which time it won't even be worth it.
