Are many Gasheads Polish then? Imagine land prices and development costs are much cheaper over there than here in the UK... Perhaps the Gas might consider relocating to Gdansk or somewhere else in the Baltics.? A nice modern steel stadium (bit dearer now though thanks to Lech Walesa and unionisation, but still cheap in comparison) The weather in winter will ensure that the true blues remain true blue through and through.... It'll be perfect for them, Gdansk Rovers has a nice ring to it... They're still potless at the moment though, no matter how cheaply the move might be.... But not for long, the cash will be rolling in just as soon as I get this 'crowd-finding page set up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back Row: Sturridge, Jones, Rodwell, FIELDING, Mancienne, Henderson, Obama Front Row: Walker, Rose, Cleverley, Moses Victor Moses is an interesting character. Though a regular for England from U16-U21 levels he opted to play for Nigeria at full level. He'd previously fled Nigeria as an 11 year old after both his parents - his father was a Christian pastor - were killed in religious riots when rioters invaded their home and slaughtered them. Moses only survived because he was out of the house playing street football. After being hidden by friends for a week other relatives paid for him to travel to England to claim asylum. He was placed with a family in South London and went to a school just streets from Selhurst Park where he was quickly spotted by Crystal Palace. Quite a story, with perhaps an unlikely ending that he'd opt to play for Nigeria after the murderous events that forced his departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Miggins Pie Shop Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 In the 2010 U21s 2-1 win over Uzbekistan, the MOM from this line up was apparently Jack Rodwell, with the full England manager Fabio Capello watching on from the stands. Rodwell’s careered has since drifted, compared to others from the 2010 team, most of whom have gone on to feature as regulars in the full squad. I wonder who, from Thursday’s line up, will do the same. Southgate you’d imagine would want to be in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brann-red Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I’ve done my bit to encourage kids to come . I look after a youth football club and we’ve used our club reserves to pay for 3 coaches to transport kids and adults to come for the game . Total of 130 coming - many for the first time to any kind of game . Look out for our Coalpit Heath banner and everyone dressed in orange ! ( our team colours ) Im new into the role and the previous chairperson was a sag so wouldn’t dream of doing anything like this.. it won’t surprise anyone that many aren’t coming due to the location - sad really . Once they see the Mecca that is Ashton Gate, then I’m sure they’ll keep coming back .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap night out at £18...and a chance to see Lloyd and Jay in England colours. We are gonna be in Section A8 (rather than A4), so will be close to the players.

Ah, wrongly assumed it hadn't been opened. Ticket sales must be good then as I think its mostly single seats dotted around the rest of the ground with the exception of the S25/26.

I've been on alert for the past week waiting for the good seats to open up. I wouldn't leave it too long though.

elhombrecito Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Looking forward to this one. Last time they U21s played at Ashton Gate was in 2010, and the attendance was 9,821 so a huge increase on that this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
