BCFC11 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Seems their development squad isn’t all that’s being made out, after hearing how great they are, I’ve discovered there were only 5/6 teams in the league and their top scorer is on loan from Stoke also there’s a post on slagchat quoting a statement from one of their released youngsters dad, makes great reading tbf.

The berks let a couple of TV pranksters convince them that a few well placed stones along with making sure all the toilet seats in the ground were lowered would help them pick up 3 points on a Saturday (no doubt, helping them get above ‘dem gert shid eds’ as well).

Or am I just imagining that? Feng phooey prank cons the Rovers A football club was caught offside when it fell for a feng shui scam at the hands of television pranksters. Guy de Beaujeu and Patrick Stockhausen persuaded Bristol Rovers officials they could enhance the club's results by such devices as installing a fish tank containing plastic fish behind the goal and ordering staff to make sure all toilet seats were down at all times. Their other requirements included erecting an ornamental ceramic frog above the stadium entrance, placing potted house plants in all four corners of the players' dressing room, and hanging wind chimes around the stadium. Gullible staff carried out all the recommendations made by the "experts in the ancient Chinese art" in an effort to beat second division rivals Gillingham. But the mumbo jumbo failed to create the right aura - and Rovers lost 1-0. Yesterday Mr De Beaujeu, 32, said: "They fell for it, hook, line and sinker. They did everything we asked without question." Mr De Beaujeu and Mr Stockhausen, who are based in Bristol, staged the stunt for a comedy series, The Gatecrashers, which they filmed last year for ITV2. One of their producers telephoned Bristol Rovers and told the club they were making a documentary about the power of feng shui. The ancient art is believed to balance one's surroundings and induce general well-being. Rovers agreed to let the pair into their Memorial Ground stadium in the hope that this might boost the team's performance. The duo duly arrived with a cameraman two hours before the kick-off of Rovers' tie against Gillingham, armed with bags of supposed feng shui paraphernalia. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/jan/20/newsstory.sport1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
