Nothing changes. Glanced through the pictures, and there are a lot of them, and saw one team photo with Bobby "Shadow" Williams in it. Had forgotten he went to the gas after leaving us and going to Rotherham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only just realised that there’s not even a row H, I, J, K or L either..! Your assuming that they started from Row A! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like assuming that Fanta will be dispensed, when they order a Fanta. Or when someone asks for a packet of crisps.. they just assume that they’ll be in date. Like handing over the keys to your club, to a lovely man with a nice watch... they just assumed that he had some money. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, Eastville had six different roof structures, similar to the old rugby ground of today. Not many clubs could boast having so many different structures. Makes them quite unique really. Oxford had several at the old Manor Ground. I’m not that any of them were actually tents... but a mish mash of different stands, certainly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when they handed over money to the last regime to build them a roof over the Filton avenue end. They assumed the club wouldn't increase the entrance fee due to improved facilities. hahahahahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 To be fair I don't think the BBC Did them any favours when they dispatched Garth Crooks West with his pith helmet, to interview Wael..

Given that most of the shots and defensive clearances end up in Row Z, I suspect that they start with Row Z and work down. So they would get to about Row S before they ran out of space.

I suppose, by definition, Rovers’ home ground is only ever expected to be “Temporary”, until they up root and find somewhere else to squat for the next decade or two. It it the equivalent of someone wanting an extension added to their house and just cementing the tent pegs into their driveway..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know they had every intention, but there were a lot of difficulties. The Gas have no intention and only have difficulties Their only intention is to not pay for any stadium. Always has been. They have never been knocked back in their plans (planning permission) to build a stadium; they've just never been able to afford it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
