Midlands Robin Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Ooooh £10 return from Lawrence Hill to the Go Outdoors Stadium with Gas travel. That's a bargain. A whole 2.9 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also where is Wormley, Bradley Stone and Cleve?! So run that by me again? 4 of us club together and get a taxi from our houses to the ground for £10.00 each (£20 there & £20 back) or we walk half a mile in all weather to get a coach for £10.00 plus £1.50 booking fee! Doesn’t make sense? Ah, got you, there aren’t any fellow supporters living near me and of course we could organise the proverbial in a brewery anyway – so Gas Travel makes sense. I see where you are coming from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously @st andrews gas partner had lost the necessary equipment, hence his annual visit. Roll on 2021 I say. If it's all about pegging, shouldn't that be 'anal visit'?

Bristol Rob Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Bless 'em, one of the Fewers is suggesting that their goal-machine Tom Nichols (or whatever he's called) never found his shooting boots because Rovers are too big for him, and that too many people watch him play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is that figure somehow higher than Birminghams ground?

The logic might actually be more based in reality than you think... with a couple of glaring omissions by our Blue friend. Land in Bristol commands quite a premium. The land the stadium sits on is the only thing with any value (unless you chance upon someone who just happens to want a stadium). With the debt they have secured against the stadium, the stadium is worthless. Basically, Wally can get his cash back and leave them homeless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 How much are they losing per week? Only 7k of them can bother to get of their fat arses to watch them and now they don't even have a cup run to bail them out. Take the complimentarys out alond with the concessions and they can't be selling many tickets at full price. Surely the end can't be too far away.

As I understand it the juvenile member of the family (aged 50) would do anything to keep up the pretense of being a football club owner and this is why his elder brother is handling all negotiations which are taking place out of the country. The latest offer will have to be accepted to enable the 2019 accounts to be finalised. Cheltenham Town or Forest Green Rovers are likely relocation venues. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s any truth in this Bert , then why are they signing players . Surely there isn’t the budget , even the wages of one and wages/loan fee of the other . It must be just adding to the problems.
