Nah. Tripped over a ‘kin chair that some guy from WsM left by the table.

They've built two more since then, do keep up.

They haven’t built anything. Did I read (on here probably) that they’re the only club in the league that has never built a new stand on their ground? (It shows!)

Sags have sussed me out, I can't "bare" it anymore. Once again they will be the richest, most successful team in Bristol. Gotta be honest, it's looking like a new stadium and Premier League within 5 years.

I feel so unlucky...

******* *******...

When you say “Once again” - since when?

If they really want to push the injury thing I'd have him turn up on Saturday on crutches and wearing a protective boot.

… wear them onto the pitch and he’d still control the match.

Perhaps he could seek some advice from Tom Gorringe .

… who thinks that planning permission is for wimps.

At this point you do have to wonder what TK is holding out for/hoping for as it's clearly not been that forthcoming or he would have a club by now 

Planning permission.

Haha, looks at Gas Chat, they say these are his companies https://www.foodco-kw.com

3 restaurants, of which one is a franchise... (Quiznos is like another version of a Subway in US).

Bought in for 'expertise' so sounds like the food offerings at Membley are going up a notch. 

Would you like chips with that?

I was talking to a Fewer season ticket holder, last night and asked him for his thoughts on the new season. He’s generally quite a sensible lad.

“We’re getting right aboard the Championship Express this year, I’m convinced of it. I can only see us getting promoted.” were his first words. 
 

“League One is nowhere near as strong as it was last year and, although I haven’t seen any of our preseason matches, apparently we’re playing some brilliant football and have made some great signings. It’s a shame that Joey won’t be able to be there for the first three games but I think it’ll still be ok.”

I asked him about the problems with the new stand (as you would) …

”We’ve done nothing wrong by clearing the ground. The absence of planning permission doesn’t prevent you from preparing for the new build. We haven’t built anything yet, just cleared the area and cut down a few bushes.”

I told him that their actions throughout had been shambolic; they’d failed to consult with their neighbours - the very people they needed to get onside in order to ease the planning permission process. 

“Yeah but, less than a mile away, when they wanted to build those new flats at the County Ground, they didn’t have anywhere like the problems we’re getting yet there are loads of houses all around that ground. The problem is it’s planning permission requested by a football club and it becomes tribal because people have a thing about football supporters. People may not want to grant us planning permission just because they don’t support us.”

I replied that I thought the major problem was that they actually failed to apply for planning permission, in time or with a strong enough case. 
 

“Ah well, umm, yeah, well” was his considered response!

So, to summarise ala @BigTone, they are coming for us and the ground problems aren’t of their making. The whole world is against Bristol Rovers (even though they’re everyone’s favourite second team)  

Last night, I witnessed delusion first hand. I loved what I saw!

Did I hear a rumour they’ve pre-assembled some of the structure in their car/coach park? 

Oh, I hope so!

What would that be in Tillson's ?   around 70 at the current exchange rate? 

Trick question. We were always told that there’s only one Andy Tillson.

How does that convert into London Double Deckers/Swimming Pools?

The height of a London double decker bus is 4.38m; the height of a £25m stack of £20 notes is 141.25m - thus equivalent to the height of 32.25 London double decker buses. QED.

Bournemouth tried credit card, but our website wouldn’t accept it.

They’d probably typed the wrong Pring number. 

Just to put into perspective the money that we're talking about (well, obviously not me and @soultrader) a £25m stack of newly minted £20 notes would be 141.25mtrs or 463.419ft high. That's a serious amount of money. Pub anyone?

SuperSport United’s Diski Challenge coach Thabo September took out some valuable lessons from the team’s first match of their UK tour against Bristol City and is determined to inspire his boys to greater heights.

After arriving in the UK on Monday, the excited youngsters trained at the facilities of English Championship club Queens Park Rangers, an experience they appeared to enjoy quite a lot.

On Tuesday, the team went on a bus ride of close to three hours to Bristol, for their first match on the tour. September’s boys took on Bristol City’s under-21 side in a match that ended 6-2 to the hosts.

Bristol raced to a 2-0 lead within the first 11 minutes of the clash, but SuperSport had the tenacity to fight back, overcoming jet lag to show their opponents that they are no pushovers.

Defenders Khebetswe Khonyane and Bilal Baloyi got onto the scoresheet for SuperSport, giving them hope after a shaky start.

Stunned by the visitors, Bristol stepped things up and bagged four goals to complete a 6-2 victory in front of a small crowd at the training venue.

Despite the heavy defeat, September was not discouraged. In fact, he was motivated.

“It was a good game. I think we started a bit bad, but we regrouped and got back into the game to make it 2-2.

Then with three minutes to go until halftime, we conceded a third goal and we would have loved to go into the break at 2-2. But it wasn’t to be. We were punished for our mistakes,” he said after the game.

“We had too many challenges in the second half, with the injuries and stuff. We learnt a lot from the game and what an experience it was.

We trained at QPR (Queens Park Rangers) and played at the facility of Bristol City and there is a lot we can still learn. The academies are fulltime with the first team and they’ve got their own facilities.”

Said that Benarous is looking very good in training and has recovered exceptionally well. Expects him to play in the behind closed doors friendly.
