Maybe he should stick to writing about the Gas? They are going to the dogs and will soon be a footnote to history anyway... I'm tempted to ask this idiot at what point he deems it acceptable to no longer be responible for the errors of one's forefathers; 100 years, 500 years, never? How can they live with themselves? Probably the same as him enduring endless, sleepless nights in consideration of the Anglo - Spanish war of 1585 and conflicts since. No wonder they live in past - as Andre correctly points out that's all the have soon anyway..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 EP reporting that Rovers have lost their front of shirt sponsor, Football Index, for 2019/2020. "As it is, they have now opted to sponsor Nottingham Forest, and Neil Kelly, CEO of Football Index's parent company BetIndex, was pleased to confirm the deal. He said: “We’re thrilled to have Football Index front and centre on the new Nottingham Forest kit - a club steeped in history with an expansive and proud fanbase." Unlike the rabble you were sponsoring last season clearly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, Bristol Fruit Market will plant vegetable and herb crops on the pitch at the Memorial Ground selling the ensuing produce at the weekly car boot sale. Hyatt Regency will build a state of the art hotel on the site of the fruit market at St Phillips, incorporating a football stadium on the roof. The Colony will be turned into a tropical oasis growing exotic fruits. Wally's vision will finally um bear fruit.

Having reffed woman’s football they are more fearless in a tackle that’s for sure. The only thing I’d say is it’s slightly slower. But actual skill there’s not much difference. Man City Woman’s would probably beat rag ass rovers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
