Unan Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) matt228 Winger Contributor Aug 20, 2019 #1 I know it's not for a while but family circumstances mean I find myself in the southwest on the same weekend the Lads are at Bristol. I've never been to an away game and fancy going to this one. I'm completely clueless: for little clubs like that can away fans just buy tickets on the gate?

It fairly gleams compared not only to Memorial Stadium across town but to many of the stadiums I’ve visited." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the face of dwindling support, instead of laying off crowd control stewards, look closely at the above pic. It clearly shows the stewards have been reassigned to new duties as toilet attendants. A bloody good ratio of attendants to cubicles too, almost one per urinal, very impressive, far above industry standards. I'm sure the fella taking a pee in trap 11 appreciates the excellent service provided. (note the discrete 'gents' sign on the far wall … well done The Gas! ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to his experience, would he get a rejection from the gas? If his salary demands are well below the national minimum wage and his philosophy is ‘lump it forward and aim for Big Dev’ then he will no doubt displace the foinal turd currently at the helm. 19 hours ago, cidercity1987 said: http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/15029/praise-kosovo Those thick ***** don't even know the offside rule. 'how could lino not see Sancho 2 yards offside when he was right in line!!' 'Not a fan of VAR but when officials are so blatantly incompetent as last night , I mean the offside was not millimetres it was Metres!' Square balls with the goalscorer being behind the ball obviously not a thing in League One. They’ve never seen a proper football match in their lives. Goal hanging hoofball is more their style. 14 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: It's been a few weeks since Wally talked about the new stadium at the fruit market.... 2 year delivery wasn't it?
