Just as well they purchased that 80's night club canopy to go over the top then

. . . and don't forget the sags fell out of the league in 1939 and that's after borrowing players off of us. Hitler saved them from applying for re election

You hit the nail on the head. Without large investment and ultimately sustainable investment the majority of football league clubs would be in the same predicament. That is why our ground's had investment, that's why the training facility is being built, that's why there's plans for the arena and further developments to help to offset future investment in the Football/Rugby to make it more sustainable. In other words there's a massive difference between the two professional (in its broadist sense) football clubs of Bristol, and the gap is getting wider. In fact I would further go on to say that the more we progress both on and off the field only goes to further highlight those inadequacies.

He is looking at his exit strategy and has been for some time. Now that he has extricated his investment out of the club all that will be left behind will be an empty shell of nothing which he is looking to offload to anyone although the better option would be a supporter type group of investors so that he can move on to the next club.

The debt amounting is internal debt so doesn't affect the day-to-day running of the club, and my commitment to the club and its long-term aims remains as strong as ever. I think he's got that wrong. "Internal debt" IS the day to day running costs. I would say "external debt" (using his terminology) would be the UWE facility that the university agreed to proceed on, or new training ground he's building, or the various planning applications and studies he's carried out, or the re build of the memorial ground stand by stand he's currently undertaking. All of which are tied up in confidentiality agreements so unfortunately he can't talk about them. Their day to day running costs are completely unsustainable without continually propping up with new investment and he can't keep borrowing on the only asset they have which is the run down stadium. Pot and pi55 in comes to mind

"Jizzless" although I doubt that very much. It's what stops it going completely flat and they all lap it up.

Never mind "where's Wally" where's row M?

Babestation Stale crisps & fake fanta

That would be Bob Warnock who runs the fruit and vegetable stall down the market or Trevor Pulis the retired school caretaker who's favourite players growing up were Alfie Biggs and Harry Bamford. That's about all they could afford. In reality Tony Pulis has successfully managed big clubs in the Premier League on big contracts. To get his type of results many "Tilsons" needs to be spent to get the required results. Neil Warnock has had more promotions (I believe) than any other manager. To get an inpact, he also looks to spend wherever possible and get in tried and trusted players that fit his football philosophy. Why on earth would either of these highly experienced managers want to manage the sags? I'm surprised this sag didn't suggest Chris Hughton, he's out of a job. Typical sags, delusional.

Yes; the Fruit Market will still be full of fruit and the memorial ground will still be full of vegetables, that is until it's turned into a town village green with a protection order on the ground and gates preventing any further development, and we'll all live happily ever after.

I liked the non scoring striker. I thought he was doing a really good job (for everyone else). Very clever of the sags to have one. A sort of fake striker to go with the fake fanta and fake fekir.

Well if you didn't know any sag players before (& why should you) then you certainly don't know any now with all of these nobodies. At least with the tramp you could easily identify that he was a sag.

What? As in go in officially? As in paying face value for a ticket? Or does slipping someone with a high vis on the disabled gate a fiver to be let in count as well.

It just goes to show with the right facilities and infrastructure what the Bears have achieved and will continue to achieve. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out but certainly more than a few tents, fake Fanta and a job lot of plastic garden chairs will ever achieve. Mind the gap

Wait until the Flyers get there spanking brand new home next to Ashton Gate. The sags will be the fourth most supported team in Bristol and not a tent in sight. That's of course if they are still in Bristol by then as there's a very good stadium in Nailsworth that might need pitching up to overnight.

Blimey, THAT bad. You know things are bad when even swindle outnumber you. As for changing their name I would suggest Berwick Rovers as they have a lot in common, same sort of attendances, similar successful football history, similar facilities (minus tents of course) experience of going non league and really local.

Even "hot shot" Nicholls has a better record than him [just]

Turnip up! I take exception to the association but if I was in charge of that particular vegetable emporium I would dangle this particular carrot and leak out that I would change their colours to red and change Irene into Granny Smith's.

After a long day of reading how some of our fans want boil LJ in vinegar it's rather heartwarming and a welcome interlude to catch up on the goings on at delusion central. Only they can say they're building a stadium on land they don't own. Or have a fan base moaning about being 4th in the league. Or employ a manager who's never actually won a game.

No I don't. You are correct. They don't give a jot about the historic significance or heritage meaning of the site. I am extremely surprised that there isn't some sort of protection order on the land and gates to keep it as a permanent memorial. The current owners should not be able to profit on the fallen by turning their memorial into a housing estate. Now that would be ironic following our much publicised town village green problems.

But what about the Memorial Ground and gates? It was meant to be a permanent reminder for all of the brave service men and women of Bristol who gave their lives for their country in the Great War.

Hey sags, we've all seen the various "artist's impressions" of the new avonmouth uwe fruit bowl and we have all heard that apparently it takes time to build a stadium even at one stand at a time. Why I here even the new training facility is taking a little longer than expected, I expect its all those hush hush confidential agreements. Here's what our owners have come with. It's amazing what can be done if you have owners who truly believe in your club and put their money where their mouth is.

"He's an Arab, he must be rolling in it!" Sadly, for the sags, he is; but it's sand and hot air and he's got plenty of that.

"Everything good" this is the same tarmacker who the blue few were moaning bitterly about how terrible the football was. The trouble is Alf Garnet seems to want to play football but that's like getting the herd of donkeys at his disposal to run the Grand National and the few Neanderthal lemmings that are watching can't understand that the ball actually doesn't have wings or ice on it.
