Bristol Rob

They could play it at the Co-op arena.

Tbf that would horrify most gasheads im sure.

I thought it was a sick joke, further investigation suggests it's a genuine bit of club communication.

Understandably, Fewers are double livid. And who can blame them?

That is horrific. Seriously, it has got to be a wind-up, there is no way ANYONE would send that.

That’s how you keep the momentum after getting promoted from League One. Unfortunately we have Lansdown at the helm who royally ****** up our chance to push on. 

So we need to get relegated before we can challenge!

Did you notice how the "Wembeley" crowd went from 40k (which was a ridiculous over estimation in itself) to 45 in one hit ?

If the phone in was half an hour longer, they would have got to sixty thousand.

Well this is a full house if you are playing "excuses and managing expectation" Bingo.

I know what you mean.

The way I look at it , going to the pub prematch saves me sitting at home drinking 

Only a proper football fan can do this.

Why did you renew?

Basically, I wanted to spend more than I needed to damaging my liver.

My own excuse is, 'I can justify being in a pub at midday without being judged'.

They saw the film Babe, and that was them sold.

Listening now.

That tosser moaning that the City game was on the radio, instead of the 15, then GT tells him he was listening on the wrong frequency !

Haha, sag wanchor !

I felt obliged to give it another list.

I'd forgotten about that caller who claimed they'd have the best stadium in the conference. 

Maybe things will improve with a change in kit manufacturer...

I think where Rovers have missed out massively is on new types of fan. I still have some great days out down Gloucester Road and the odd away trip, but all those good days are entirely based on the social side, which I suspect it is for many City fans as well. However, there are more and more fans who watch their football in a different way and those people want better facilities, whether that be seating, modern surroundings , a big stadium experience and to watch football at the highest level possible. We are light years behind City in those areas. 

I think the rugby has a lot to do with things, clearly when Lansdown added them to his Bristol Sport operation they were always destined to end up at Ashton Gate, but I always got the impression that Rovers saw the rugby as an unfortunate tennant they were stuck with.

Fair enough, the Mem (as it stands now) wouldn't have been suitable for top flight rugby, but back then there seemed to be no attempt from either club to attract fans from either sport to watch the other.

Well, that was a view back in 1958.

Sounds like their takeover of Everton is in doubt. 

Lots of missed payments and suggestions they don't have the money to complete the takeover.

I wonder.... 

Prediction....

Takeover fails to complete, Everton enter administration. But they enter administration 5 minutes after the last game of the season with survival assured.

This will lead to all manner of legal action as relegated clubs scream foul.

Nothing. 
I left, in disgust. 
Drove on to Clacket Lane instead. 
However, an equally poor selection so I had to plump for an egg sandwich from the Costa 

The entire world is delighted you conduct your travels on your own.

Egg sandwich!

This is a splendid bit of entertainment.

Never going there again 

What did you have instead?

He seems like the kind of bloke who will visit a steam railway, stop for a weak lemon drink at the station cafe, drive home in his mini metro and finish the day with a spot of ironing (socks). 

Don’t get too excited. 

It's a service station sausage roll away from being your utopia.

I never know why they haven’t gone to Botswana again. Several players from that season credited that trip.

Didn't we pick up a number of injuries out there?

Any idea what Manning has done pre-season at his previous clubs, overseas training; mini tour; home games, painting a school in Botswana? - all that sort of thing.

Just wondering if he had any form.

Gash Head of Data and Analysis Adam Mahoney gone - only been there five minutes.

”Head of data” - typing a “0” into the shots on target column twice a week must’ve taken its toll.

 

Any truth in the rumour that he is taking legal action for industrial injury having got RSI for updating the shots column on his spreadsheet?

I was with EE and couldn't get a signal in the ground , but now I'm with Virgin and noticed a massive difference.

Still can't get a connection, but it's massively cheaper 

I thought Giff-Gaff and Virgin Mobile both used the O2 network?

Unless Conway leaves I doubt we’ll spent even half of £12m.

If you listened to Tinnion in a recent podcast he as much as said this.

Wells is going nowhere, he has one year left on his deal & is very happy in this part of the world.

Conway will be replaced by Seb Palmer Holden.

They'll call it pathway, we'll call it budget.

Just my guess.
