phantom

Nobody has mentioned Pizza Express !

I'm not threatening you with anything. I'm just pointing out that a number of Rovers fans have found themselves in an inconvenient position when making allegations they couldn't substantiate, even when doing so on a theoretically anonymous forum. I doubt that Geoff Dunford reads this forum anyway.

Perhaps we will find out the truth now.....

If there are libelous comments in this thread am sure going on the previous track record you talk about Mr D will soon be in touch?

But if he doesn't ?????

Redfred, your lot have been saying it for years. But just remember

'YOU 'LL NEVER GET RID OF THE GAS.

Unless someone lights a match !

Look what happened last time someone tried that !

I remember hearing all this noise when you was going to redevelop the Memorial Ground, everything was all set to go ahead, contracts had been signed to move to Cheltenham, season tickets even went on sale and the ground was never touched.

Blimey I had forgotten about that fiasco!

I was flying in a group of about 8 Go Ahead Eagles fan's on the Sat, for the game on the Friday, so this works out better.

What are you on about ?

"When the fixture lists are released in the summer months, each club has a short period to apply to the Football League for changes." Surely "each club has a short period to apply to the Football League for changes" is wholly in conflict with what has occurred?". A short time cannot mean many months.

 

 

Don't forget that this period is BEFORE they are released in the public domain

I have already heard/seen this announcement on radio, newspaper, news website, club website, Facebook, Twitter and here.

Yes, an email/text should be sent immediately to our entire database, but making out that people are unlikely to hear about this is quite simply wrong.

I would disagree with this, you are assuming that everyone has access to FB / Twitter or any part of the web, and also live locally enough to hear the radio or read the paper - the club told us earlier this season that they were checking everyone's contact details - now is the time to use it.

I work with a Polish Dr, who just took delight in telling me his son was flying over next Friday and would be seeing his first City game - you can imagine what he reaction was to the news (though will need a tranlator for some of the reply). The craziest thing was he phoned up YESTERDAY for the tickets, surely someone could have warned the ticket staff that there was a possibility of the game moving ??

Isn't this just the icing on the cake for all the disasters off the pitch that we have all had to put up with since the summer last year !

To me one of the biggest own goals with this is screwing themselves over

The community trust are cycling back from Lands End raising money for the Botswana trip and was geared up for them to get back for the game on the Saturday

The latest rumours from the bunker say it will be ready for 2016/17 and the three sides will be a permanent fixture until cash flow permits completion.  Decrepit b*ggers among you will remember the same applied to the North Stand at Eastville which was still only partially complete on the day it was demolished. The Venturers have still to put their sealed knot of approval on the revised plan.   

You have to be on a wind up ?

Cookie, any ideas?

Still won't believe it until I see the work starting - too many false dawns with Rovers

The trouble with them playing their few 4 fixtures away is the logistical nightmare that it causes not only City, but Bristol Rugby as well,

Nothing stopping us both being away on the same weekend.

They will probably be expected to change to a Friday / Sunday in the event of us both being at home.

If we are talking about 4 fixtures, liklihood that would be 2 games, fully expect Rovers to move to their Friday night slot.

Tact, as taught by the Marines

A young Naval Officer was in a terrible car accident, but due to the heroics of the hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and eventually became an Admiral. However, during his career he was always sensitive about his appearance.

One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine Sergeant Major for his personal staff.

The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?"

The Master Chief answered, "Why yes. I couldn't help but notice you are missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether this impacts your hearing on that side."

The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his office.

The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same question, answered, "Well yes, you seem to be short one ear."

The Admiral threw him out also.

The third interview was with a Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead with the same question.

"Do you notice anything different about me?"

To his surprise the Sergeant Major said, "Yes. You wear contact lenses."

The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Marine. "And how do you know that?" the Admiral asked.

The Sergeant Major replied, "Well sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one ear!

Recently, a female police officer arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year

 old white male, fornicating with a pumpkin in the middle of the night.

 The next day, at Camborne Magistrates Court, Lawrence was charged with

 lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency and public

 intoxication.

 The suspect explained that as he was passing an allotment on his way

 home from a drinking session when he decided to stop, "You know how a

 pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for

 miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around," he stated.

 Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road,

 picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut

 a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his pressing need. "Guess I was

 really into it, you know?," he commented with evident embarrassment.

 In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an

 approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until P C

 Brenda Taylor approached the side of his car. P C Brenda Taylor

 evidence was as follows : "It was an unusual situation, that's for

 sure," said P C Taylor. "I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging

 away at this pumpkin." P C Taylor went on to describe what happened

 when she approached Lawrence ... I said: "Excuse me sir, but do you

 realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin??"

 He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he

 looked me straight in the face and said: "A pumpkin? Shit... is it

 midnight already?"

 The Courtroom erupted with laughter, the Magistrates could not contain

 their mirth and deferred sentencing until someone can be serious

But assume that they must have some new evidence to take forward?

delaying the enevitable... as nimbys do...

 

make no mistake Sainsburys and the UWE are happening

 

 

Out of interest how high can they go with these appeals?

With both developments, we've seen and heard this all before -waiting for the first brick to be laid

Oh dear.Trash Whorefield have put an appeal in.

Tee hee.

Shame as it looked such a nice drawing

The kids were upset tonight because I put ginger in their curry ...................... they loved that cat .

Peter Reid told it better

.... the fat lady is clearing her throat for a good old song

Don't tell me that this backward City might actually be encouraging a sporting development !!

What does that even mean "Coterill is on his side"..

I think Timothy means as in, how many times has he made reference to how good "he is".

More and more quotes since being with us referring to me rather than us

Tell him to foxtrot Oscar

You'll need seats for the phantom ST holders who get counted every week.

Eh?

Round pegs in square holes again?

Don't know why we need El Abd in with the defence, they were much settled as a three before he was chucked in

This one is really annoying me. I've been asked it before...... determined not to Google it!!!!

 

 

 

 

Edit: Think I might have remembered..... Tranmere Rovers?

Which two league teams - one from England and one from Scotland - don't include the letters a, b, c, d or e in their names?

 

Portsmouth, Livingston

Both Correct

Tranmere won there in the league cup in 1973 but never played there since
