myol'man Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Next in line (a day early as the Mrs. is dragging me Christmas shopping tomorrow! ) Gillingham away, owned by our friend Paul Scally, who kindly sent us Tiny Penis free of charge. Gillingham is a small town in Dorset for any of the few who are travelling, easy trip, should be thousands locked out. In the Gills squad should be our old mate Scott Wagstaff. Waggy has restyled himself as a tramp in honour of R*vers greatest ever homeless player 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick jones of hereford Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Football League club Gillingham is in north Kent, it’s one of the Medway towns. A difficult place to get to as I discovered when I saw us play there. There is another Gillingham which is in the South of England (possibly Dorset). I remember it as I saw my first Bristol City match when we played them in the FA Cup 1st round on 5 November 1960 (I think). We won 11-0 (a club record) with John Atyeo scoring 5 goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the number of people that were employed to design a NEW STADIUM only to, in one day make the decision to scrap it and give up. We had the person who designed Wembley stadium employed for quite a while and I have just now given up on our owners producing anything. Why should they do anything at the Mem when they told us in no uncertain terms that a development of the Mem was a no goer and yet when news of their failure to secure UWE failed suddenly it became our Plan B. look out its nearly Christmas so Plan C Santas Grotto will soon be realised!! As far as i am concerned the Mem is still a no goer, if it did get done, which I sincerly think it wont, the infra structure around the ground will make it a nightmare to operate. At the blue diamond Christmas I asked Mr Hamer if the club were still looking for land to build a stadium, he being the politition he is gave an answer that, as usual, said nothing. When I told him of the land becoming available in Severnside, over a 1000 acres of land for development, He said is it free it was blatently ovious that he knew nothing about it, so what does that tell you? If I can find that and the details of the agreement between Bristol and south Glos council, that is a matter of record, in 5 minutes of surfing, it just shows to me that they are not even looking. Before any posters complain that they dont want a stadium there, well if it was a choice between that or a revamped Mem I know which I would prefer. Its not really a matter of where the land is, what matters it he didnt know about it.And would want it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
