They're wages are covered by tv money by a large, even if there was zero income from Robins TV the club would still be covering wages easily. Ok so lets all stop watching, buying, supporting and turning up when the gates are open then, and subscribing to Sky. Actually, why do we even bother. It’s like some on here do not even remember what football is meant to be about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely acknowledging that the way clubs now receive income the phrase 'we pay your wages' doesn't hold the weight it used to as the club are no longer so reliant on fans to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad though that a 6-0 defeat has as little impact as it has. The players probably secretly love having no fans in. Same wages, less stress, nice life.

You talk about credibility yet you offer nothing yet a meaningless snipe after a 6-0 defeat. Ignore my posts please. A meaningless snipe is to start a thread about Adelakun presumably giving a mate who one assume details cars some exposure on his platform. If you get bothered by that then **** me you need to grow up. Have just looked and the guy is a mobile detailer in the Bristol area, so Adelakun is just giving a local business some exposure, should he have told him to **** off and that he wouldnt promote is business as we lost? You'll be really upset to know he also had his range rover detailed by this bloke as well, I say we immediately release Adelakun and immediately ensure that the seven31glow mobile detailing business is run out of Bristol for having the bare faced gall to do their job well it would seem.

Meaningless snipes aside - I am bothered by everything about a tumping like that after a 0-2 defeat by our local rivals and a cup exit. 0-9 in 3 games. Lets all grow up though. Who cares?

This is only a football forum where people may or may not bring up stuff. So a player cannot say anything after a loss that they were in no way involved in? A player also cannot use their platform and profile to promote a local Bristol business in times where they probably need it because we lost? If Adelakun had posted the story saying look at me I've had my 100k plus worth of cars detailed ps **** you City fans, buzzing that we lost 6-0 I would agree but the man had his car cleaned for ***** sake, there is plenty to be angry about at the moment, a man having his car cleaned is not that.

Timing maybe not a bit off for you? No skin off my nose, just still irritated we lost 6-0. Would have probably been the last thing on my mind to promote anything through social media.

No. But I would not put it on social media until maybe the day after, or the day after that. But then, I wash my car often and despite it being a very nice car, I see no reason that people would be interested in my car being washed. Unless I had at least 25,000 people that may see it and a business that washed my car for me for free because of that. Like I say, different times.

Perhaps he should've waited until Sunday or Monday before even getting his car washed. I could understand if we'd lost 2-0 or something but not after a 6-0 drubbing.

Hopefully in line with your post, he chooses not to put his Valentine walk or film on social media. On his big television. What is your point? Just nominal sarcasm?

For clarity, I can’t see an issue with Adeluken cleaning his car. But I also don’t see the need to drag Steve Lansdown into this, with the usually doe eyed adulation that comes with it.
