Septic Peg

Oh if only there was a local billionaire that could go in and buy the club and rescue them, only to send the best of the staff and team to BS3 and then demolish the site (apart from the gates) and build a badminton court/basketball arena...

Oh if only...

Not one to usually bother with their forum but I saw a few whispers on Twitter about very bad news coming out about Rovers over the next few days. Had a look on their forum and someone else posting the same. No idea what they're referring to but it almost seems bigger than the stadium.

Heard the same. UWE down the shitter, creditors haven't been paid since March and solicitor letters been sent, Wael trying to flog...

In the immortal words of Paul and Barry Chuckle; "Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear."

I don't ever go in the Tobacco Factory, because George Ferguson is a ****. 

Does that count..?

Nope. Me neither. Haven't been in there in over a decade. Georgie boy always gets a few choice words from me if I see him down North St.

Pulis was in town today and heard that his boys lost to the mighty Rovers. Any teds in the away end???

437 pages and counting,a massive thread about my club bristol rovers!

What a funny backhanded compliment that is,with no equivalent on the gaschat rovers forum and when i quickly looked on forums of other local rivals like liverpool/everton i simply couldnt find anything quite like this.

" only one team in bristol"   except we like to talk non stop everyday about bristol rovers and we read their forum and quote it word for word on here almost as if there were in fact 2 teams in bristol,weird!!

Some post about rovers virtually everyday on here it seems?

Maybe its the relegation haunted faces you clearly see on you city fans faces  as you prepare for yet another battle against the drop despite spending god only knows how much money on under performing players or perhaps its the spectre of bristol rovers amazing progress under darrell clarke that has brought this rovers obsessed forum to produce this strange thread?

Not sure,you tell me but its hilarious so please keep on posting and thanks for the interest in my wonderful club.

Oh yeah... beating Grimsby in the non league PO final and going up 2nd to Barnet and then the following season, only going up automatically by GD behind Northampton and Oxford. Wowee. Big boy Darrell indeed.

@Big Red Rich have you infiltrated the Rovers appreciation page? If you have and are under the radar, 

As for Mike Jay, he might be gas through and through but he's also a knob who threw his toys out the pram when someone who owns a signed Rovers shirt suggested that they might auction/raffle it to raise money for Bradley Lowery. Mr Jay wanted it to be donated to his museum, not to raise money for kids with cancer...

They're at it again on sagchat:

 

It probably does 'kick off' regularly at training sessions, especially at the start of a training match.

Of course it kicks off at the training ground. But not in the way the gas are insinuating. City play football. So they kick off everyday. If they were playing golf, they would tee off.

There was one post starting "City fan here in peace" and some of their regulars were demanding the post removed as it's from a City fan.

Was banned about 10 posts later in the thread. No explanation other than 'banned'.

Rovers fans come on here all the time. 

No City fan is allowed on there at all. Even if they were 'in peace'. 

Disappointing that they can't be as open and broadminded as us here.

So if you are reading Hugo The Elder, perhaps consider the olive branch as we do here. It can work both ways. It's called respect.

Was thinking earlier does Steve even have any grandkids?

I think JL has a son (can vaguely remember seeing a pic of him when the Lansdown Stand was unveiled) but think he is about 2 or 3...

So to cut a long story short, Wally's secured his debt against the stadium, a debt that he could have written off but instead transferred, a debt Rovers have no hope in paying back.

Does this mean what I think it does?

Is Bristol Rovers doomed?

Rolling my eyes...

Guess it's all done bar submitting the registration 

Does that mean if the transfer hasn't strictly gone through yet, we can get in there and gaszump* them?

Sign him up Steve. One for the reserves squad.

*pun fully intended.

Rovers sign a fella from Oxford for undisclosed fee...

https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2017/may/signingliamsercombe/

Waiting for some clued up gasheads to say he was £1m but actually more like £100,000.

Edit: rumour is he had a massive row with Appleton ala Tomlin/LJ and was kept out the last 2 games. Bit of a attitude too and had a few red cards in the past. Hope Dopey got his kid gloves on!

"My Old Man's A Dustman"

 

(Lonnie Donegan)

 

Now here's a little story
To tell it is a must
About an unsung hero
That moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune
Other's earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact....he's flippin'.....skint

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner
In his great big hob nailed boots
He's got such a job to pull em up
That he calls them daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas
And some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up
He spills some on the steps
Now one old man got nasty
And to the council wrote
Next time my old man went 'round there
He punched him up the throat

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say Duncan
I 'er...I found a police dog in my dustbin
(How do you know he's a police dog)
He had a policeman with him

Though my old man's a dustman
He's got a heart of gold
He got married recently
Though he's 86 years old
We said 'Ear! Hang on Dad
you're getting past your prime'
He said 'Well when you get to my age'
'It helps to pass the time'

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say, I say
My dustbins full of lillies
(Well throw 'em away then)
I can't Lilly's wearing them

Now one day while in a hurry
He missed a lady's bin
He hadn't gone but a few yards
When she chased after him
'What game do you think you're playing'
She cried right from the heart
'You've missed me...am I too late'
'No... jump up on the cart'

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say, I say (What you again)
My dustbin's absolutely full with toadstools
(How do you know it's full)
'Cos there's not much room inside

He found a tiger's head one day
Nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable
But I suppose it should
Just then from out a window
A voice began to wail
He said (Oi! Where's me tiger head)
Four foot from it's tail

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
Next time you see a dustman
Looking all pale and sad
Don't kick him in the dustbin
It might be my old dad

I think I recognise the tune?

I'm so jealous of bristol rovers because;

They used to have a big fireworks display behind the goal every year until they decided to have it in the south stand.

 

We used to do a display on the old open end terracing. I can remember being a nipper, sat in the Dolman watching it.

The only thing I'm marginally in awe of is their terracing. Yes I know it's under a tent but still. They ain't worried about safe standing at the Mem!

Bitter little lot aren't they . Might not be true but funny seeing the ******* get all salty. Ha ha ha . NLBR 

Having a pop at @bert tann saying he's a fake gashead and @Miah Dennehy saying he's sick because he uses the name of an ex Rovers player who was severely injured outside a pub a few years back... probably uses that name because he was a favourite player of his per chance? Because there was none on gaschat with Matty Taylor referenced names now was there?

Jeez, #gaslogic in full flow on gaschat tonight...

Fair play to the gas regime, I was chatting to a ground worker today, he said dropping kerbs can be quite a major job, it can even involve getting permission from the council so for the gas to get that done already I think shows they really are a club on the up, I really do think they are coming for us and to get new curtains and carpet aswell how the hell can we compete against that ?

Yep you need the council's permission plus you have to use their approved contractors. £200 a stone roughly.

Bloke in work who claims to know people associated with the blue few reckons they'll be targeting Devante Cole in the summer as their replacement for Taylor.

Not the most prolific of players, but he's quick and I'd imagine that if he gets enough chances he'd be a regular goal scorer.

Nah. His old man will explain to him there's only 1 team in Bristol and they play in red.

Let's be honest if the guttering on your house which was being demolished in a couple of years started leaking, would you do a temporary fix costing a £100 or spend £2,000 replacing the whole lot? I could understand it if we were spending on a desso pitch we could dig up and take it with us but to literally throw money down the drains seems odd. Plus we have the new gates and the Pirates portacabins being moved means it doesn't suggest that the UWE will be built anytime soon. I wonder if the club will also look at trying to squeeze more fans into the Mem?

 

One of the stewards let it slip, v Millwall, that the temporary bar to the rear of the West stand is to be permanently covered and now I read this I can't help but wonder if my hope of a revamped mem could happen as plan B ? 80K on the pitch is all down to DC as he's very unhappy at the pitch, grass length and way it runs. I guess we shall see soon enough. 
You know, I just can't imagine our owners spending that amount + the other small but meaningful things, without good reason.

Blame it on the turf... Rovers are shit because of the way the grass grows... heard it all now... 

Belters 

Totally Meh today but can't be surprised. City lads are already packing their cases for Marbella/Vegas/Ibiza or wherever they plan on going...

The ellusive 3rd window is beckoning. Little/Wilbs will be gone. Tomlin maybe also on loan. O'Neil too.

New superkid aka Tammy mk2 coming from Chelsea but probably a midfielder/defender, not a striker. 1 RB, 1 goalie, 1 striker. Minimum. Expect to see a couple of wingers too.

We lost today. It happens. Life goes on. 

More importantly, we survived.

Where have the city fans moved to? It's a sell out isn't it? 

Expect they'll have moved to empty ST seats. Lots of people unable to make it because of the 10k/transport etc.
