Thats the same Ricky Lambert who, after scoring on his debut for his country, thanked everyone from the Beetroot Factory to Southampton Football Club but totally forgot to mention Rovers. What is it with these ******* idiots pandering to 5000 insecure, fragile nob ends in North Bristol through the Evening Post? The only England player I ever booed!

And ran a political campaign against the council during local elections, ironically, I think they named their party "Bristol Sport", or something like that. The same council that issued winding up procedures against BCFC for non payment of rates in 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As as child I vaguely remember seeing a bunch of mutants in donkey jackets stood across the road from John Lewis in town, shouting and screaming about something from behind their banner. Even now, if I close my eyes and really concentrate I can almost smell their B.O. wafting across the street.

I suppose if we had a solicitor to unearth information to feed to opposition groups that opposed all their plans for new stadia, supermarkets, or were the only professional sporting club in the region that failed to support Bristol's WC bid and then, tried to take their ground off of them for a paltry sum, then we'd be getting a bit closer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a BS7 resident living near the Gloucester Road, you have just described quite succinctly the match day experience in these here parts. Let's just say we tolerate them. We're quite friendly and neighbourly around here but to be honest, most of us tend to stay indoors on Rovers match days. That or we go and watch City away.

I've been told we have to discuss the final positions on the table. I suggest that the hobnobs should stay on the side as they are a great substitute should we not have any Battenberg slices. It's all agreed then? Good. Battenbergs on the table, at the top. By the way, get me Mr Kipling on the phone and I'll ask him if he can no longer make the quarters in yellow and pink, well at least for home matches."

A mate of mine from work told me this yesterday, his lad plays for Bolton and reckons they were told the season would not be completed. He still thinks the points deduction might be carried over to the next season, but he's more confident of avoiding the drop as they won't be relying on 15 year old kids to play the matches.

Clubs will have to vote on how the final positions in the table will be decided. I assume that means vote on the mechanism for deciding the final positions, not vote on who finishes where. Because if it were the latter then Rovers, being the much loved club that they apparently are, recognised by other clubs throughout the football world, would doubtless get voted into the top two. Seriously, it depends a bit, surely, on what happens in the Chamionship. If there's no relegation or promotion then surely the final positions are nothing more than academic.

Did a job down on a road by the away end At the mem earlier in the year, the guy was so P****d off. As the match balls kept going in his Garden. He asked them to put a net up to stop the balls going in his garden and they said they won’t be putting a net up. So he no longer gives the balls back and Keeps them in his garden.
