TheReds Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 6 minutes ago, Lanterne Rouge said: All the s*gs appear to think Private Widdle is the evil that infests their club. I for one disagree, I think he`s doing a wonderful job and he should be kept on with a pay rise. Amazing that many of the sags at the start of the season seemed to think the signings were superb. I got told by my mate they were definitely in for a top 6 finish, but did need a striker. Now it's all gone wrong they are all suddenly bad signings and it's all one blokes fault? Or is it down, at least partly to the various managers as well? Anyway, never mind, give the bloke a pay rise and a budget, and let him loose buying players and presenting them to Barton with "there ya go, here's another". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 That delude lot already thinking that they will walk L2 next season whilst the realists expect another spell of "Non League Bristol Rovers" whilst their manager is serving time at Her Majesty's Pleasure. Not sure which way the arrows will be pointing on his uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Did'nt they say the would be the Barcelona of that division last time they dropped into it, then said they would be the Real Madrid of the Vannerama league when they dropped into that.

richwwtk Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 It seems that their ST holders this season were entitled to a £50 refund due to fans not being allowed in this season - and instead of it being a refund they can now choose it as £50 off next seasons ticket. The club are calling it a "loyalty bonus" and the 6/5ths of Bristol are loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which way the arrows will be pointing on his uniform. I said it previously like 3-5 pages back I believe. I think they may struggle given the FFP rules means they have to reduce the wage bill and they signed quite a few players last year on multi year contracts. I don't think Jailbird will be able to rebuild much and it'll be a case of sign a striker and that's the budget gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 If they try to reduce the wage bill they will be in breach of the minimum wage regulations. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturny Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 From what I've seen the gap between quality L1/L2 isn't huge, so being bottom of L1 is a statement of their quality. I think they'll struggle to stay even midtable next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His behaviours are quite ‘Trumpian’ in that every utterance is to pander to a small but vocal minority, often the subject is quickly turned to him, as in “not my relegation”. Contrast that to NP, a manager, in many ways in a similar situation (I.e can’t buy a win, new defeats every three days or so), where the emphasis is on issues and problem solving and tries his best toAVOID talking about himself.

These Managers aren’t stupid. Everybody knows that if you come into the Rovers job and utter phrases like “I’ll sign players who will put it in for the quarters” they just lap it up........”he speaks out gurt language, ‘ees a legend ain’t ee”. Dumbest fan base in the country bar none. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of pedantic points around this 1) should read "cannot wait to have our fan back in the ground" 2) Reignite should read "Relegate" 3) The film does not seem to capture the amount of canvas, plastic patio furniture or garden shed construction disabled areas available to patrons Call me Mr Picky, but honesty is the best policy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 A few well known City tried to “reignite the gas” at Twerton on the way back from West Brom away back in the 80s.

Bristol Rob Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Saw another tweet from the Fewers saying that 10% of people eligible to renew their season tickets had done so on day 1. Which might sound impressive, except for a few things. 1 - most people would have been paid shortly before they put their tickets on sale. 2 - It's quite easy to hide behind a percentage to either tell a positive or negative story (Covid deaths JUMP 10% figures show, but when you scratch away at the story beyond the headline, the actual figure could be very low) 3 - With their North Korean secrecy around just how many STs they shift each season, it's the most pointless update - assuming they sell 5,000 season tickets in the average season, 10% is hardly going to have their ticket office claiming overtime. 4 - They all smell of wee. I think with the division Barton brings, the relegation and recruitment issues they've got, they could struggle to shift a great number. I'm not convinced we'll be selling a huge number of 'new' season tickets ourselves, but at least we're in a division where there is a product worth seeing.
