Not really an upset, after all Shrewsbury are a massive club with a new stadium  

With nothing better to do than a bit of painting, I ended up with Radio Dribble on with commentary of the R*verz game.

God it sounds awful , think I'll switch over to Magic fm  

Next up ; Shrewsbury, birthplace of  Charles Darwin 

Here's living proof of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, he's now a tramp playing for the R*vers;

Looks like they have managed to welcome their new player by getting white plastic chairs in the photo ...

Let go by Millwall  for the 4th time!

I very much doubt that they will ever have another player we'd want to sign. Maybe they'll find some superkid in a non-league youth team but it's unlikely;

Happy 31st January Sagheads.

I see LJ says that Matty could go out on loan today, possibly to a League 1 club.

Shrewsbury? Hat trick on debut? 

edit.........scrub that, he's having an op, out for a month

No doubt going mob handed for the closest match they get to a local derby. As always they will no doubt be the innocent victims post the inevitable skirmishes, being the family club that they are....

Quote from asschat;

Wonder if there will be any trouble between us this time. Been feisty affairs between us lately.

Oxford does seem to be their high point when it comes to away trips;

"Wow, look at this amazing new stadium" 

6,300. . . .  todays attendance at Doncaster United?

Wrong, guess again  

Blimey, they are all on Twitter naming the kid, and all up for giving him some instant justice. 

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? might not even be the right kid 

As we've been on Sky quite a bit lately, got me wondering, when was the last time the blue few had a live FOOTBALL LEAGUE match on tv?

Banarama Non-League games/Cup matches/Play Off matches don't count.

Over to you Stato

Today is the only chance they have of playing BCFC anytime soon

The Bodin money will probably keep them afloat until the end of the season but they are sure looking like relegation fodder.

4,000 season ticket sales in July/August may keep them going until Christmas I suppose. Not sure how many they would sell in div 4 though.

Did they pay back the money they borrowed to pay the players wages?

That was a short term deal. I'm surprised that the pawn shop took Wally's watch though

Transfer window closes in 2 weeks and they still haven't flashed any cash. 2 out for big money in their world and nothing to replace them.

Tricky game against Bradford for them tomorrow too.

Slowly sliding into Div 4 oblivion again.

Looks like the Bradford scouts have visited the Memorial Ground!

Comment from Kenny Black, Bradford assistant manager;

" The state of the Bristol Rovers pitch, which is struggling more than Valley Parade’s, will also be a factor.
Rovers paid six figures last summer to have the surface relaid but it is now in such poor condition that they will have to get another one done at the end of the season.

I saw this little ditty on a QPR site; 

When you're sat in row Z and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora 

made I laugh

Got any other odes to gas players old or new?   

*gas love in alert*

I thought 1,100 to Blackpool in January was quite good

I actually think SL having a stake in UWE would be a very good idea.

At present the U23 side use Failand, Twerton, Clevedon, Weston (or was that for an away fixture?)  Bristol Sport also has to accommodate any non first team rugby games, plus the Women's team (based at Stoke Gifford) are all dotted around. 

If a small, say 5000 capacity stadium was built there I think it would prove useful as a home for these sort of sides.

UWE had already planned a 6,000 capacity stadium for students before the squatters in blue got involved.  

Next up, nice January visit to Blackpool. **** me that's gonna be cold. 

Blackpool have just signed ex-gas loan keeper Joanna Lumley 

And it's time to face their nemesis AGAIN!!!

Stand up Sir Colin Daniel

I find it most bizarre that they expect equal coverage in the local media.

Do Port Vale get as much airtime as Stoke?

It annoyed me when they dropped into non-league football and still got equal press as us. Should have been on the same page as Yate and Mangos 

Appearing live at Chasers this Friday night, Little Sergio Aguero, a true gas leg end. 

Just in case there might be a few of the few browsing this thread, this is not the Memorial Ground;

As a Kingswood boy born and bred, it feels me with great glee that this monstrosity, which was about 200 yards from my family home, will be gone forever.

It defies belief that anything could actually have a detrimental effect on Kingswood High Street but this managed it for decades!

 

 

Didn't there used to be a porn shop next door?
