I’ve heard that some Jordanian bankers are taking over Rovers and they’ll be the 6th richest club in England. Couldnt come at a worse time, what with their new ground about to be built and I think they’ll be in the prem in 5 years. 30 minutes ago, Hampshire Red said: There hasnt been a Bristol derby for so long, media interest may move to another fixture.What are the odds on a The Glos Derby next season or will Gas be the lowest placed league team in the area?

There's even been fighting between the fans at the last 2 meetings .... all that vegan food probably,! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 We might end up with a Somerset derby between Yeovil and Taunton! A strong possibility there will only be one division between them at the end of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Green have been and will always be a village team, where they are now us solely as they have been financially super charged by Vince as a means to promote his business. When the mighty Tigers of Gloucester return home (hopefully next year) then the finally the club will have a chance to progress and eventually the real Glossico will resume. The clue is in the name!

Nothing wrong with being a village team Stevey. Nor is there anything wrong with the owner promoting his own business. Ashley is doing the same at Newcastle.

BS2 Red Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 There's a good chance that Forest Green could go up this season which would mean next season that Forest Green will be our local "rivals". Swindon are not likely to go up and the 15ers look like they might be going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this preferable to rich owners who treat football clubs as mere playthings? Shouldn't we be glad that local people are prepared to invest money in local football? I think I'd rather have this than selling out to faceless foreign investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them old Tigers need to get back to the Shire as soon as possible mate, Dale Vinces plan to move FGR down to the motorway jct is in part trying to recruit support from Gloucester. Up the Tigers I wish them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word in the shire is that Cheltenham fans threw real sausage rolls from Greggs at FG fans which is when it really kicked off. I would actually prefer Cheltenham to do well over FGR and that hurts me saying that as a Glos City fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent form much better though. but it's really all about coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
