pride of the west

Great. Gonna be hearing about their championship ready team all week now and how Matty Taylor will no longer get in their side.

If I was looking for a club at that level to invest in Rovers would be well down the list. I`d be looking at the likes of Plymouth, Oxford, Posh or MK Dons for a start and a lot more before I got down to them.

I think wally is now thinking the same

We are coming up to the 17 year anniversary of the gap. After a little research the traditional gift for a 17 year anniversary is furniture. They've given us the gift a little early.

Great to see that the SAGs have installed a new shelter in the away end too!

Sponsored by Bristol rope and twine company as well. I wonder if they're in partnership to supply the guy ropes for the tent renovations

Love Paul rossiter's text at the end of Mikes call. You could tell twentyman realised half way through he shouldn't have read it.

Looking at the article it would appear that the supporters club paid for and erected it. Still no investment from Wally then

Most pubs smoking shelters are a lot better than this. This is truly embarrassing for the gas.

Calling them tinpot doesn't even come close to what they are.

A tin shelter would actually be an improvement

Let's put the Gas attendance lie to bed shall we, read the attached and weep !

14 years only have they had a better attendance than us, how many times have we exceeded twice their numbers+ etc... discover for yourselves!

But it's their away fans that are the best in the world don't you know. Home attendance means nothing because true supports go away

I get what he's trying to say, bless him it's starting to dawn on him. It's a bit like West Ham and Millwall. One is lightyears ahead on and off the pitch. I'm not comparing us to West Ham in a real sense, but the gap is ENORMOUS.

I think he's spot on with the comparison of man u and bury to be honest. 

Quote from the wish list:

The club are currently unable to implement the following ideas

• Improved clubhouse facilities

Why is that? The only thing I can think of is money. Surely these 'improvements' must be a wake up call for their fans who still think Wally is the masiah and not just a very naughty boy. 

Yet they wonder how we have accumulated over 500 pages in discussing their gift list

Yes, the:

"and the possibility of providing wet weather clothing to those supporters not undercover when it rains. "

bit really did entertain me - it's almost like the poor area in Shakespeare's time, no seats or cover for them either...

You have to wonder why they can't turn up in a coat themselves

The post website has just put up a list of improvements the mem will see this weekend and the coming months.

It reads like a wishlist for a conference south side.

I've also noticed that anything which will cost decent money is headed as 'under discussion', including providing waterproof clothing for fans

I think this image should be put on the side of the 75 bus. Love to see it going up and down Gloucester Road.

With additional advertising for Reptile Zone on Gloucester Road next to it. 

Can I rock up and buy a mates rate ticket today or is it an online only deal?

Boxing day 2012 remember it well the Watford players diving thru the puddles. Never stopped raining that day

And their team bus totalled a fiesta in the car park I seem to recall and one of their players posted about it on twitter laughing about it. That didn't go down too well

He's been asked by his peers why he didn't buy a club in Jordan. 

Probably because no club has any assets to strip and he will have nowhere to hide when the creditors come knocking. 

So does losing to Cheltenham reserves mean that they lost to our reserves reserve side?

I'm sure this is an example of #gaslogic but one of them thinks their ratio of away fans to their home fans is better than ours last season. 

Is that true? 

I did point out that their home support is rubbish but apparently it's all about the percentage

So why didn't their big money, championship ready, better than matty taylor replacement start?

Just seen their goal on the channel 5 show. Clearly a yard offside. 

How many did the gas take to Fulham? Serious question as I was under the impression they sold out their allocation in days. Admittedly I was told this by a gas head so I took it with a fist full of salt and I didn't believe him but I did think they would take over a grand

What happened to their top 6 budget anyway?

When the likes of Bury are signing better players then you then something is badly wrong,

I wouldn't say it indicates that something is badly wrong, I think it just reflects the reality of where they are in the football pyramid

He will get called a "ted" and get a banning order for those remarks. 

But yet another one for the gift list. How can a league club have pie stands condemned? And then not even bother to replace it.
