Where are you????!!!! You can tell these naive belters spend their spare time in the pub surrounded by Sagheads, listening to everything they say and believing everything they say. Im sure these same City fans saying how embarrassing it was that we ‘only’ took 1800 to West Brom last season for a Tuesday evening, SKY televised match will be along in a minute to admit they were wrong to say the Gas would take more. I won’t hold my breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His crime, trying to buy tickets from the club for home and away games. Starnes and Gorringe sent a letter around to his house delivered in person by the stadium manager banning him indefinitely. Must be the banning season, who next. The gas should be very worried about these bans, the owners are trying to hide something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The ban of the supporters director should have them all reaching for the panic button. Don't imagine they will, but it should do. Isn't he their elected voice after they pumped trillions in to the club in exchange for very few shares? If that voice is stifled/removed then how will they have any idea if their money is being used correctly or if they aren't about to have the (magic) carpet pulled from under them. They must be fearing the worse, especially with their one saleable player apparently rarely fit. This could make for some golden viewing from our side.

Xiled Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Another kick in the balls for the special relationship between Bristol Rovers and UWE: https://info.uwe.ac.uk/news/UWENews/news.aspx?id=4001 Quote UWE Bristol Vice-Chancellor, Professor Steve West said: “It's fantastic to start 2020 with the announcement of our new and exciting partnership with Bristol Sport, an organisation we are very proud to have worked with for several years. Our core purpose is about transforming futures and inspiring people, which are values that also align with the Bristol Sport vision and the community engagement that both our organisations take great pride in. I added the bold text for emphasis Similarly I can't help thinking that when 23,078 turned up to watch Bristol Bears play Wasps that there must be someone at the Memorial Ground who regrets stealing their ground and evicting the rugby club. Look who has the second highest overall attendance figures in English rugby.... "These things take time" unless you're doing your best to destroy relationships with the non-football community then it's amazing what can be achieved in just a few years. Sometimes they just can't help punching a gift horse in the mouth. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Curiouser and curiouser. After Hamer got the boot, the Evil Post did an article in November 2019 outlining the hierarchy in the Big Top. At the time it was Wally as president, Starnes as their CEO and the remaining board members being Masters and Turner. They've now gone and banned Masters and according to Companies House, Turner has been taken off the board. This leaves just Wally and Starnes running the club with their head of recruitment and commercial director apparently not on the board. Now there's no chance of any info getting out to the deluded few. Edited January 15, 2020 by Midlands Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 After a long day of reading how some of our fans want boil LJ in vinegar it's rather heartwarming and a welcome interlude to catch up on the goings on at delusion central. Only they can say they're building a stadium on land they don't own. Or have a fan base moaning about being 4th in the league. Or employ a manager who's never actually won a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Haha. They are being run by a swede, managed by a swede and represented on the pitch by a load of swedes.
