He may be in the local Sainsbury buying cheap Champagne to celebrate victory.

Why not let Nick Higgs and the Sainsbury's barrister settle it over 3 rounds in a boxing ring?

Typical delusional gashead. Lidl have applied for planning permission to build a store on the old Ford garage on Muller Road. As this is only approx 1/2 mile away, nobody is going to want to build a supermarket on Filton Avenue.

I'm sure Tony Watola and the club have some robust contingency plans in place should the case go against them. Oh - wait a minute - he was the chap who didn't plan for relegation to the conference and it took him totally by surprise.

Another classic from their forum: "I think the longer this takes the more chance we have of a good outcome... What that outcome will be is anybody's guess"

They are clutching at straws as they ran out of sensible reasons to be optimistic a long time ago. Perhaps they need a new thread on their forum: "When all else fails...................."

I think the Wonga loan is the key. Normally if a club / business goes into administration the creditors only get a very small percentage of the money owed, if they are lucky. If they are unlucky they get nothing. There are also rules that state which type of creditor gets paid first, if there is anything to pay. How things develop also depends on whether the directors of the company apply for voluntary administration or whether a creditor beats them to it. This is where the Wonga loan comes in. We know its secured against the ground, but how would it be affected by the club going into administration? Could Mr Hicks have some cunning plan up his sleeve, or might Wonga get in first and call in the receivers? As for fulfilling the fixtures, if Rovers went into administration and kept Wonga happy, it would mean a points deduction, but they could keep playing. Of course, if Rovers get some dosh as a result of the court case, everything in the garden is rosey and it's onwards and upwards.

As the old saying goes "Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story". The result of the court case, one way or the other, should help clarify the situation a bit. ( I stress " a bit")

Can't be Peter Noone as he recorded "I'm into something good" and that doesn't apply to anything connected with the Rovers.

There are a few old stagers on the forum and those who have false teeth could help out. Simply take out your false teeth, put them under your pillow when you go to bed, and the tooth fairy will leave a small sum in payment for each tooth. If you believe that you must be a gashead who believes the UWE stadium will be built.

They seem to have a few people in the know regarding the court case. For example, one poster provided useful inside info on the judge; "It's difficult for her. Sources I cannot reveal have told me that she has recently had a telephone call offering her free shopping for life and a seat in the House of Lords. On the other hand, last week she received a postcard offering 50p off the cost of a pasty when she purchases a cup of tea at an unnamed football stadium."

This is a brilliant picture. A few people crammed together to make it look much better in the official photographs.

I just saw the tour on the local news. BBC said "Bristol is a sea of blue and white"! They interviewed Dopey on the bus as they were driving along and I saw approx 10 people waving. One of those was wearing a red tee shirt and had a red and white scarf!

Not many posts coming in. It must mean everyone is still out celebrating. I've only just got back from the pub and, as the saying goes, I'm tired an emotional.

I quite like a hog roast. Is that the same as a hog up?

Very true, but can they keep it up and win all of their remaining games?

Saville in the squad at last!

Quite right. Most teams have blips at times and City are no different. After losing against Swindon and Preston we went on a good run, and there is no reason why we can't do the same again. Better to get this sort of upset now rather than the end of the season when it's squeaky bum time.

Must score 4 assuming they don't score again!

Wonderful opening to the thread, but this has set a high standard. How can you follow it up with something equally as good for the Colchester and Doncaster matches? As for Rochdale - best of luck!

Probably just a bit of squad rotation. We' will be playing twice a week throughout February and have been in January. Freeman and JET can come on as subs if necessary.

Stupid question

Did you have a curry last night?

At my age, if at lunch time, I can remember what I had for breakfast it's amazing.
