    I may be wrong but he strikes me as a Michael Knighton type figure(think I've got the right guy). Seems to love the spotlight, wasn't he on the lap of honour? He's done Gloucs Rd to I believe. If I was of the blue persuasion I'd be a little concerned, not really done much so far financially , sprinklers apart , but likes to be seen as some sort of hero figure. I may be being unfair but after all the hype etc  it must be a little worrying. Although the lies persist, even Sky mentioned your billionaire owner during the Millwall game .

    The guy with the talking car?!

    Just seen that we've had the biggest average attendance for 38 years this season. That's one in the eye for the attendance obsessed blue few considering what a shite season it's been.

    of course if they were in this league they'd average a billion plus the same number unable to get in

    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.

    Wow, I didn't know that one. Just... wow
