Aside from the obvious ones about money - is he a millionaire, billionaire, neither..? Never has the term 'these things take time' blanketed so many issues. New ground? Ummm.......New academy?.......Ummm.........Improved commercial stream?......Ummm. And that's just 3. My personal favourite was 'let's see if they're so smug when we pass them in the league'. If they'd just like to take a moment and remind us all how they're doing with that.........Ummmmm........thought so. Just a complete laughing stock, always have been, always will be. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 17 hours ago, Merrick's Marvels said: Twas ever thus eh!!! By chance t'other day I came cross this comment in David Woods' "The Modern Era - A Complete Record" about the Stoke / Cheesley's knee game in '76. The attendance was eventually recorded as 25,316 but the author's 2 line summation of the game begins: "A phantom turnstile perhaps as an attendance of 32,537 is originally announced?" 32,000? For a game against Stoke? In Bristol? Even following a win at Arsenal, and a 65 year wait, the good people of Bristol are not that daft/desperate/short of things to do/into football/willing to part with their cash.

Said all the right things. If they wanted to **** about and play the football chairman they would have bought 40% of some team like Yeovil. Instead they bought all the shares they could (it seems) and talked about steady development and investment in the future, and are clearly going to build the UWE (not sure how people got the impression they might not).

About a day wasn`t it? We did try to tell them but did they listen? NO! No I'm not having that. Despite the press histrionics and the hilarious claims of one BRFC staff member that the new owners had 'more money than God', I think it took almost 48 hours for OTIB members to clearly establish beyond doubt that the hundreds of millions of pounds worth of Assets Under Management were the property of the bank's customers and not that of the Al Quadi family, who, it was found, have a few quid tucked away but nowt to get excited about. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to delusion central; 1) They have had the same amount of stadium improvements as Spurs. 2) They are bigger than Norwich City. 3) Shrewsbury are Tin Pot. 4) They have something in common with Manchester City. Just where do they get this "information" from? Or is this just plain gaslogic. In reality though; 1) They have had the same amount of stadium improvements as swindle. 2) They are bigger than - shock horror - nobody. 3) Actually its the sags that are Tin Pot. 4) They have nothing whatsoever in common with Manchester City, more likely its Chester City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furlough is for anyone, but youre right it's capped at £2.5k per month.

The furlough scheme isn’t in place for the individual really it’s meant for the company to help them keep going, the individuals salary to some extent is irrelevant. Even if you earn £5k before tax per month (£60k per year) then half of that being paid by furlough scheme is 50% help so why wouldn’t you use this?
