Football Index, where you can buy and sell players for REAL money!

WTF?

Ironic isn't it seeing as the gas don't buy players for real money

Gaschat is an hilarious read. 

They literally don't understand why they have the 'laughing stock' tag and their fans have played no part in obtaining that tag. OK then.

They are also back slapping each other for coining the phrase 'tap in tammy'. Remarkable specimens over there.

I can’t find it on their website, but the image you’ve got there is good enough for yet more piss taking..!

 

Go on the home page of their shop section if you can bring yourself to look at it.

Is that for real...?! 

Forget who’s modelling it. They have club merchandise of a Rovers jesters outfit...?! 

I’m assuming you are having a photoshop joke with this...?! 

100% real. Brilliant on so many levels. 

Still up after player leaving 10 days ago.

A bloody jesters outfit. Shows the type of market they are selling to. 

And to title it up 'new gifts' 

From their website. The gift that keeps on giving

But the way he wrote it he was describing a 300% increase " all drinks prices had gone up £1.50 to £2. "    -   missing the word 'from'

right you are.

Just had a look, clearly maths isn't their strong point....

I went to the Queue to get a drink before the game. Whilst waiting in the long queue to get served I could see all drinks prices had gone up £1.50 to £2. A 33% increase

That's correct. Well 33.3%.

You need to increase  £1.50 by 33.3% to reach £2. 

Mind you we gotta pay about 3quid for a coke don't we?

The Dunfords are no longer with us

That tent end is hilarious. It's literally a market stall with some temporary seating underneath. I bet a season ticket for that part of the ground is a similar price to our south stand as well. 

I don't think the raffle was as lucrative as they made out to be honest. It cost a grand to enter but all entrants got about 500 quid worth of match day vip treatment if there ever is such a thing down the mem. 

Officially a bottom half league one side. #ticktock #EvolutionNotRevolution 

By the sounds of radio bristol, they celebrated like they won the world cup when they equalised in the last minute. Strange lot. 

Best supporters in the world they say. 

Whats happened to baker then. Enforced by all account's. Could do without him being injured

I really wouldn't put it past big Steve to build an athletics stadium at UWE mind. Start a bristol sport club athletics team to add to the portfolio and use it for some football matches. 

He'd love Olympic competitors to come out of the Bristol sport stable I'm sure. 

So they've been saying for weeks they need to sign players with championship experience to keep them up let alone push on. Yet they're all participating in synchronised manual manipulation over some kid who hasn't played league football. #gaslogic 

"I've heard the club has fantastic fans, that's what's been sold to me and I can't wait to play."

The gas new signing 11/1/18 

Dopey will be resigning then after the little pow wow with Hamer the BS man this afternoon. 

If it needs a face to face meeting it can' be good news surely. 

If he was getting the funds it only takes a text message to say they will proceed with putting bids in for players at the top of his list.

Right the fans know they have some money, let’s sit back and watch this unfold. 

We will get the line of no value for money in Jan, we will spend it in the summer. Summer comes and it will be, transfer window insane this year, we have to cut our cloth accordingly.

Standard Rovers saying 1 million! Why would preston pay that when they could pay nothing in a few months?! 200-250k i expect.

I had about 3 or 4 of the fewers trying to convince me we paid 2mil for Taylor until they spat their dummy out over the alleged inside knowledge to his get out clause. 

You have to remember they've been brought up on the premise that if you say something for long enough it is seen as fact. 

The reality is they have taken what they can under the circumstances. It will be less than Taylor. There's no way a fee of 1 million paid by preston (no disrespect as we will be the same) will be brokered and concluded within 72 hours of the window opening. That's decent money and most clubs who need to stick to a budget will go in low and spend a couple of days jockeying their position.  You'd also have the agent holding out for most of the window

Wow. They like a good day out a couple of times a season just like every other club in the league. So unique. Whereas we have 23 good days out (result permitting) by default every season down the gate.

That might be a bit tricky to show on this graph - i'll have a think about how to improve it

The graph as presented could be a bit better - I may need to work out if I can get a higher res version somewhere.

Or put the gap in league positions would be rather apt. 

I bet Wally is losing sleep tonight over today's game. 

Another 500 down on the gate and he's gotta stump up win bonuses.

Talking of Christmas, will they be repeating this initiative again to keep their star player fed and watered and off the streets?

Perhaps they ought to realise that charity begins at home especially when Wally makes them homeless next year
