Tinmans Love Child Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Good lord, they're going to take over america next Say an American invester/consortium took us over, surely one other sport would be American Football, it's a growing sport over here, albeit very slow, but if we got some sort of partnership with an American team, we could do pre-season over there, rather than playing some of the dross here, getting our name about, especially the Pirate aspect, with Football (real football) taking over in the US, we could get quite a fan base with our unique kit etcRead more: http://gasheads.org/thread/3537/hope-higgs-talks-american-investors#ixzz3eY5kowvD They sound like somebody you would see on The Apprentice!

havanatopia Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Wow - really? No he is right, to be fair; are any other clubs called the Pirates? Don't forget we Robins are as common as muck. I mean one has to be deferential about such things what. We are British after all whereas those Pirates are all at sea and could as well be Welsh or Irish or, god forbid, from some far flung foreign land back from a rape and pillage venture.... arghhh thats why this Yank has shown up, a stowaway from New York state on the run from a maximum security prison. He lost his buddy due to blisters on the soles of his shoes but he made it rubbing them with salt peter while onboard an old wooden steamer.

old parkender Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Jesus, if we get BIG backing....I doubt Higgs and co would sell to asset strippers...they could have got out before....12 months ago we faced oblivion.

That's basically what they really want, all talk of their pride in being a 'real' football club who aren't bankrolled by a 'sugar daddy' is just a load of old piss. Show them the money and they'll bend over and drop their shit stained kacks before you can say 'Bristol Pirates of the UK Saaccoor league'.....anything to try and get above us.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Reading those thick bastards forum they are going on and on that this is definitely happening with that clown henbury saying icon venture are involved (that's the same henbury who says kid is wrong and that his info is correct despite everything he has said not coming true) They also fail to mention that these invested have looked at at least 10 clubs so far They are so deluded it hurts Some of them aren't falling for it....plenty of others though are already ordering big blue and white foam hands off the Internet and discussing their own erections (presumably whilst playing with them). I dont know any set of fans anywhere who have more delusions of grandeur....one of them even thinks they're going to be big in the USA. That Henbury blokes 'ITK' record is ******* appalling. He makes Kachina look reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Swallocks Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 It shows how far apart we are as clubs now. If these stories were about us we'd be kicking and screaming about where had things got so bad for us that we were desperate enough to go after hedge fund based consortiums. For them it's their saving grace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
