I wonder what Wael must think when he sees there is more intelligence in a mollusc on Attenborough's Blue Planet than there is in the whole of his?

He was there, fat bloke at the back

There are two screenings of Love Actually in Bristol in the lead up to Christmas. One is at the Colston Hall with a full orchestra playing all of the soundtrack in time with the film. Truly spectacular, but at £49.50 a ticket it's a bit pricey.  The cheaper option is to pay £20 to sit in your own car, in the car park at the R*vers ground,  while you pretend to be Hugh Grant and your missus pretends to be Devine Brown.  

Looks like this thread will pass 2,000,000 views this weekend . It's not that we're that bothered about R*vers, it's just that they keep coming out with classic comedy gold

I see that the fire sprinklers went off in IKEA the other day. 37 years too late!

a better comparison and fairer one would be port vale and stoke

They honestly see the situation more like Sheffield, seeing United above Wednesday , gets them thinking "that'll be us soon" 

Next up in the continuing saga ;

BRFC vs BRFC.

One team is an underachieving sleeping giant, owned by a dodgy foreign family who invest zero into the club,  play in blue and white clowns shirts in a dilapidated stadium, living on their former glories. The other is Blackburn.

Good luck to Derrick Williams, one of our double winners

Rovers are letting the Mem become a drive in movie theatre by The Bristol Outdoor Cinema Company.  They will be showing Home alone and Love actually.

I'm sure they could be showing something move appropriate like One flew over the cuckoo's nest or 2004's Mind The Gap.

£20 per clapped out Fiat Uno to watch two films that will be shown 715678 times over Christmas on the same night that we are home to Manchester United in the quarter finals of the League Cup.

Yes they really are coming for us.

Hope they don't have to drive the Uno onto the swamp to watch Love Alone and Home Actually, they would sink up to the hub caps.

I thought they still had gas lights

No, they have had the new electric lights installed. Here is a scene from their last home match;

DID BRFC consult anyone before switching fixture?

Sorry if I seem out of touch, but what do they call all of the stands and ends at the mem these days?

Witty replies welcome but I really dont know their real names

To find this out I had to go onto their website a click 'buy tickets'. I feel like my laptop now has a virus 

Blackthorn End is now the Thatchers Terrace, other end (tent) is called the Brunel Risks stand 

Is 900 really that great? Pompey took 1,200

I also heard on Saturday right from the horses mouth that these agreements meant the existing contractors were being paid £1000k per week from BRFC not from DS because DS don’t even have a bank account. And that’s part of the problem. You need money to open an bank account.  In fact the horses mouth also said that it’s not been £1k a week more like every 3 weeks but he has nearly been paid in full now. 

Also heard that Hani will only give £2m to build the training complex when we need more like 10m. That came from the architects doing to the drawings and plans. Basically £2m will get us 2 pitches and a set of changing rooms built and that’s about it. There is no running gas water or electric to the site so most of the £2m would be spent in just basic ground works alone. Not to worry we are rich I remember the bloke on you tube telling us so must be.

Whether this is the far eastern way of trying to do a deal or what but the more I hear the more it becomes clear that Wael has absolutely no control of what money comes into the club from his big senasable  brother.

 

Was the horse's mouth bleeding?

Next up; 

Bizarrely, no game! After getting knocked out of the F.A.Cup in the 1st round (again) the lunatics who run the asylum over there decided to move tonights fixture at home to Rotherham to Saturday 2nd December. Now, if they've done it to avoid clashing with tonight's home game at Ashton Gate, they have ****ed up because we are also at home on 2nd December. Maybe they've done it to attract a bigger away following? Rotherham? I doubt it.

So it means that every other team in League One is playing tonight and if results go against the blue few they could be seriously close to the drop zone come 10 o'clock.

Why have they got 4 stewards manning the tent end..?! 

Massive away following expected, it's like a cup final for Wimbledon   

Next episode in the on-going gas comedy is home to AFC Wimbledon at the tented village.

Not much to say here except that the Dons are in the bottom 4 and if R*vers lose this one they are in deep sh!t.

To illustrate the gap, City have only ever played this version of Wimbledon once beating them 2-1 with a double from Aaron Wilbraham, on our way to winning the JPT whereas the other lot have played them 10 times in the league!

Has anyone noticed that both Bristol cubs are away up North on the 25th? We're at Hull while they're at Blackburn. Not a good move IMHO.

I appreciate we'll be on the M1 while they'll be on the M6 but the M5 could be awkward.

They will probably take more as Blackburn away is a bit of a cup final for the gas , whereas we have visited the KC several times recently + greater distance.

Cue claims of "our away following is bigger than yours" from the faithful and true blue few
