I'm sure if they were all milling around in the pubs and car park the police would soon get them in the ground. 'Course, that would require organising. Not their strong suit. There's too many in their 'faithful and true' band for them to make a stand. I'd like to think we'd more than kick up a fuss about something like this. Is totally bang out of order and Lee Power knows it. To blame police is ridiculous, if it was just to cover police and staff I doubt it would come to more than £5. Unless of course he adds his food tab to match day costs, that might be the reason they are charging £25. Hidious football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would argue that could be antagonistic and not in their family club ethos. If only they had a rich Jordanian benefactor to whom the cost of 1500 (I'm being generous) tickets at £25 a pop was pocket change and he would happily shell out to get the fans there. If only such a person existed. If only. Edited September 1, 2016 by Silvio Dante Jordanian not Qatari. Neither exist so why I'm bothering I don't know...

Bristol Rob Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Surprised Rovers fans aren't up in arms about the number of loan signings they've made. Surely if they want to be a feeder club they would just come out and announce it. Makes sense, permanent players free signings and then topping up the squad with a multitude of loans.

That should cost them a few thousand squid. Yep, there's a handy Sainsbury's not far from the ground. Rovers fan don't think much of having to pay again re rematch v Swindle.

While yours spent 3 months going around with cap in hand only to end up back at the tented village .in the meantime we have brought in around 20 million in transfer fees alone this month. Just close your eyes for a moment and imagine what that is like (you could build a stadium for that sort of money ) now open your eyes and close the door of your caravan you belter. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he wanted to leave to a club that once was champions of Europe, a club that paid vastly more than he is worth, and who we comfortably beat without said player. My thoughts. Good luck to him. What are your thoughts on your star player searching for contracts anywhere else he could get one, before coming back? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) 3 minutes ago, BRFC_Gas said: 20 million in transfer fees yet your best player isn't yours? The thing is we don't have a single best player. IMO we have several players who are equally important for different reasons, Abraham being just one of those. What's even better is they form the spine of the team; Flint, Magnusson, Smith, O'Neil, Tomlin and Tammy. You could argue Bryan to be one of them too Edited September 1, 2016 by JamesBCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my thought's enough money to buy the whole of BRFC PLC, ground, tents, sheds, shipping containers, the whole squad, a Jordanian bank, a fleet of camels (although the squad is full of camels) and still enough for a down payment on UWE with no outside investment needed to help out your billionaire blagger with the nice watch. Our biggest mistake was not being able to teach him the offside law, perhaps if we had we could have got 30 mil for him, but we'll live with the 15 mil and a 3-1 win without him against his new club and another 20k plus crowd. That's my thoughts. PS:- Save up your pocket money for the great county ground rock and roll Swindle volume 2 and I hope it pisses down again.

Due to a non-disclosure agreement, he can’t reveal the figures involved, but he insisted his family got a good deal. “You would be amazed at how much value we got,” he said. " So he didn't pay off the considerable debts .... he just "absorbed" them! Would we be amazed at the value he got? .... he still had change from a fiver?

roylegalatyeo Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Don't know if it's been covered,but how many loan players are allowed in a team.Seem to remember Cardiff in 2010 had about 10 loanees but could only play about 5 in the same 11.If so how are the gas going to get around that?

It started when fans of the respective sides formed a friendship based initially on the fact that both clubs play in blue & white quarters. It now has a more formal footing with fans & officials paying visits to each others clubs, and Rovers will pay a visit to Sabadell for a pre-season friendly in July 2016.
