Shrews only club in the whole West Mercia area of;Shrops,Worcs and Herefordshire so potential is there.

Similar crowds, much better stadium. In a higher division. Bigger that the gas then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a population in Shrewsbury of 72,000, which is probably higher than Rovers share of Bristol, with it's population of 466,000. That's sharing out the rest between City, Bristol Rugby, The flyers, City women and the supporters of the plough and windmill skittle team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are down to bare bones now and it makes interesting viewing and much speculation, to see how far Wael will go with actually putting his own money in to prop up the club, before having to sell the rugby ground. In recent times, the assets have been used as security, how long will that be the case? They've been lucky so far in receiving funds for players that has topped them up.

More Bristolians outside the city boundaries than inside nowadays Rich. Given that's nigh on 1M people now, the gas must have at least 5 or 600? BTW, I nipped in the barbers on Banjo Island, the gas 'heartland', today. A dad with 2 young uns already in there, all wearing our red. We're taking over everywhere, I tell you.

Incidentally, a 97% success rate in your department is pretty impressive . I'm one of those who really enjoys the true crime stuff on TV. It's particularly gratifying how many cold cases are being re-opened and solved thanks to the advances in technology. Compelling stuff. Must be fascinating, rewarding and I guess often heart breaking to be working such cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably averaged the same or more then Rovers did its honestly amazing how delusional some fans are I mean they must be bigger then Barcelona or Man City I mean everyone loves them. They chastise us for saying we have a divine right to the play offs (which we don't) we just had season on season growth where we were pushing for the play offs.

I remember that Just the Spurs state of the art stadium had more development than the pitch sprinklers, family tent stand, new canopy over the door to some grubby little bar, and the big screen supplied by Steve Lansdowns company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
