Neither club has a great track record, but ours would pan out better and in recent years, a lot better, is there a historical gem I am unaware of? Did you not know Rovers once famously triumphed in the Watney Cup, a short lived pre season competition where they had to overcome 3 other teams?

Yep they did, and flashed them up on their scoreboard.....but bizarrely I remember when we were at home to Wigan, I think it was, in the early 2000s and Rovers won 0-5 away at Oxford on the same day and we flashed up their score updates on the scoreboard above the East End - why?????!!!!!

There's a thread on their drivel where some nutter is saying they use it on Saturdays etc etc. It would have to be one hell of a size to incorporate a full size football pitch wouldn't it? ....and didn’t that numpty realise that most top gigs would be on a Saturday - ie, the real reason for the arena - why on earth did that sad sag think it would work having a small time football match on the same day as a big time gig?! And the gig would undoubtedly have a bigger attendance..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked the post by the guy who said he goes to less away games now because ‘he has already been to a lot of the stadiums...’ - I thought they were ‘loyal and true’ and travel to away games ‘in massive numbers because it’s just what they do...’ - very confused, it seems some of the ‘loyal and true massive away army’ only go to each stadium once?!! That contradicts their constant mutterings about their ‘following.’ I’ll never forget the sad sag who rang into Talksport the day after we dumped Man Yoo out of the league cup and basically all he could contribute was ‘yeh but, yeh but, we got a bigger away following than them...’ - pathetic and showed himself up in front of the nation.....like the other saddo who went onto the Man City forum when we played them to make pretty much the same argument....they didn’t have much time for that numpty either... As I’ve said a few times, da Roverzzzz are just like the annoying nephew that you ignore all year round and then on Christmas Day you come face to face and instantly realise why you’ve ignored them for the other 364 days.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 20 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: Would imagine it to be a new build rather than tarting up a plane-shed. If they are just going to spruce up a hangar, then you would think it would be cheaper. Like converting the Olympic Stadium to a football stadium for West Ham? I’m sure it would have been cheaper and quicker to start again! I bet they will find asbestos or something in the Hanger, causing delays and expense. Crazy decision not to proceeed at TM where the work already done has cost millions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Using the Brabazon Hanger at Filton as a combined arena and football stadium is a ridiculous idea, for many of the reasons mentioned, but I’ll throw in a couple more. The current floor is thick concrete built to support the weight of numerous large aircraft. Fine for an areana, I but it would have to be removed to provide a grass pitch. Ideally grass needs some natural light to grow, but the hanger roof if a fixed structure. You could have drop-in grass pitches or a new retractable roof, but it’s a increased cost. Rovers have no money to pay for anything as the money raised from selling the Memorial ground would just repay the money put into the club by Wael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been here a few (hundred) times...... But... HG made an allegation of an assault and did this is a very public way so the Police (in the form of JulieH) had an obligation to investigate what could have been a criminal matter. Again, I think we've covered this more than a few times. Can we agree that HG is an irrelevance and stop mentioning him or this alleged incident? Yeah I bet Julie was obliged to visit to South London to visit the Millwall fan battered by one of her own too after the fact was pointed out by numerous City fans. Are you a forum policeman ? I think people can raise issues as many times as they wish and its up to other forum members to ignore it if they find it tiresome. I wasn't aware of Henbury Ass until numerous others mentioned him. Now he's on my rader and personally I like to keep tabs on him as I may have the honour of meeting him some day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
