  1. That's it, if I see an advert for a Finger of Fudge in BS3 I'm writing to the Advertising Standards people. Also, think of all those teeth rotted by chocolate. Do they not have any morales up their in Sags ville?
  2. To us it's just a car park, to thousands of Sags it's where they stand when locked out. Maybe this is a sign that the UWE stadium is still going ahead after all?
  3. Quiet weekend for the Sags then: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54653118
  4. Hilarious isn't it. Joe never says that it's on a par with NLBR he just says he cried with joy and lists the last two times that he did that. He also says it's the best night of his life. Not the second best or equal best but the best night.
  5. ******* hilarious that they spent the best part of 10 years shitting on Bristol Rugby at every twist and turn including stealing the Mem out from under their feet and then have the audacity to complain when they start doing well after the club had to move to survive. And as for the sad ***** that claim they were Bris through and through until they moved to the Gate, **** them. If they can't look beyond that to see the team then Bris doesn't need their support anyway. Joe Joyce walks on Cider. As usual for the average sag it's a pint of bitter and twisted.
  6. That's Geoff's dad that is. Twentyman senior.
  7. 4 games, 4 defeats and a minus 19 goal difference (with 10 minutes left of this game) It's clear that the City women's team lags badly in the support that other parts of Bristol Sport have enjoyed. A serious overhaul is needed on and off the pitch to keep up with the rest of the WSL. It's almost certain at the moment that the Ladies side will be welcoming the likes of Keynsham and MK Don's to Twerton next season. If crowds come back to football, how many potential fans are going to drive from Bristol to Bath to watch a Women's National League South Game? Not many I'd bet.
  8. I still hate the name but I bloody love the game. Pat Lam is awesome. Bris were great tonight to keep sticking at it and getting the results. How bloody typical to have spent years watching Bris through thick and thin in the sodding championship and we finally taste success and it's in empty (or almost empty stadiums).
  9. But according to this article..... https://www.theleaguepaper.com/latest-news/football-league-division-two/4177/bristol-rovers-taken-over-by-billionaire-jordanians/ ?
  10. Yeah, that's how I read it. It authorises a share issue of up to £495.000 in Bristol Rovers (1883) Limited.
  11. It's the attention to detail that's helped Garner get this award. Things like paying attention to the length of the grass on the pitch. Not because it aids his teams passing but so that he can warn his players how likely they are to hurt themselves as they tumble to the ground all over the pitch.
  12. Lovely picture of Holloway in the directors box at the Mem in that previous post.
  13. I would write a letter about this but I'm too busy writing to the advertising standards authority to complain about Bristol Rovers advertising themselves as a "Football club".
  14. Well to be fair we did purchase him for the top secret release clause of £300000. You know, that top secret release clause that we some how managed to find out about. Yeah, the top secret, highly confidential, release clause that the sags had been discussing, including its exact value, on their forum, weeks before the transfer. See! It must have been deceit.
  15. To be fair to the sags, they could have just solved violence at football matches with the stroke of a pen: Dear Sir. Baz, Midge, Knocker and Titch are writing to inform you that we intend to carry out a very aggressive leaflet campaign in the BS3 area in protest at your recent encroachment onto GHS turf. Should you have any issues with this we would be grateful if you would write to our secretary, Chuckles, who will arrange a meeting where we will hear your formal complaint. Prowed to be a sag Best regards Bazza
  16. Well this is the thing isn't it. He may have capitalised the debt but if he wants his money back he still has to find a value for the club that repays his capital. Also, at the end of the day, he didn't capitalise the debt out of the goodness of his heart. He couldn't find a buyer and the fruit market ground fantasy still grinds on therefore the only way he could get any money back is to keep the debt riddled club going. Without a buyer and at their current loss rate, the Sags would have almost certainly folded and all that would have been left is whatever value assets they could flog off to repay the creditors. That shower of shite are still in the smelly stuff hip deep and sinking.
  17. After this weekend results, could it be said that not having fans in the ground has contributed to teams playing more freely. If you look at the results today and yesterday, the number of goals scored seems a lot higher than usual. There are only a tiny handful of no score draws and in most games there have been 2 or more goals.
  18. Remind me, how long ago did they make that video? ?
  19. The non existent "Row M" The disabled viewing area cobbled together from 2 by 4 and plastic. The automatic electronic stadium entrance system consisting of a turnstile operator having to press a button. The requirement for an automatic stadium entrance system due to fans handing season tickets through the fence. Match day stewards taking back handers. A big screen TV for the stadium purchased from a company owned by our chairman. One of their biggest spends of the last 20 years only scoring 4 league goals in almost 100 appearances. Fans headbutting minibuses on the Gloucester Road. I think that's a few more.
  20. Apparently Thatcher's did consider a Gas themed bottle of Cider but when they got the Gas players to sign one, Thatcher's found the value decreased by half so they gave up on the idea.
  21. I was reading today that most of the transfers in the ladies game are free, end of contract moves. Very few have involved an actual transfer fee so far. In many respects I think it's the pulling power of the team names that are attracting the best players to certain clubs. For smaller names to attract the best talent they need to pay more and promote the ladies game to make it bigger within the club. Ourselves, Birmingham and Reading are now the only teams in the WSL who don't have a mens team in the Premier League. A few years ago the league made up of half or less of the Premier League names.
  22. Just be thankful you've never tried one of my half arsed efforts at baking then. However, yes indeed, flakey would be a better choice.
