Bristol Rob

Given how many times the club have dropped the ball/crayons with limited edition shirts, it's no surprise that they ordered in limited numbers.

Must have been a surprise to find one that was popular!

How many matches had Super Leeds gone unbeaten since the start of the season?

Less than Southampton.

Can see the web-stock selling out quickly with the remaining ones selling out by the weekend.

I didn't spot a manufacturers logo on it.

His Wiki page makes for a slightly odd read. Rejecting a contract from Rangers after being there since the age of 10, moving to Man City and after a year 'contract talks broke down', Spurs apparently interested and then his transfer to KVC Westerlo for £1.65mil.

It could be that he is on loan to us to get some experience, it could be that he is one of those players who struggles to settle. 

Either way, he looks like he has bags of ability and if someone can get a tune out of him he could be a player to have quite a career, but the journey from youth graduate to the age of 20 doesn't look to be the standard one you'd expect. 

Amazed he has made more appearances for Scotland U21s that he has league games.

Where have I seen him before....

And then it dawned on me, he previously WAS Gary Oldman in The Firm.

31% possession ...

We can ignore that, and the number of passes they completed.

It's the goals that count.

There was a huge face painting event before today’s game, apparently 

BBC cut backs will see the next Doctor Who regenerate in a less spectacular way.

I was very much in the ‘he is past his best’ camp. But then I’m not professionally trained in football. However, our management team are and should know if a player still has something left to give…

My thinking was that he probably needed one last new challenge, best for all that he got that, was looking a bit stale towards the end with us. I wish him well.

Funny thing, there’s a kernel of truth in there - the amount of houses going up in South Glos and expansion is large and will only continue. 
 

Problem for them though, the days of a north/south split are dead.  And with no real way of tapping into that growing population they continue with an aging demographic with an inferior “product” to attract families. 

There is, but...

All clubs face a similar issue these days, getting people to shell out for individual match tickets when people can watch top flight football either free if they stream it, or by paying Sky.

Outside the top flight, you wonder how many completely new fans clubs get, excluding those going along with a parent.

Just over 7k at the Pisspoorial isn’t going to cover the repayments on the pay day loan used to build the new monument to pillars and corrugated iron. 
 

Shit fan base, full of weirdos. 

So they took more away to Blackpool (when the gate was 8100, but they accounted for 8000 of them, apparently), than they managed at home.

That moody floodlight line will soon become a 'Premier League ready, pre-drawn VAR marker'.

I hope they have reached out to Nev, his floor joists must be creaking under the weight of stuff he has.

So it was deemed playable 9 minutes before?!

Didn't similar sort of happen for one of our games against Watford, the pitch was playable until it was due to start.

Did 2 zero man decide to go or did the BBC just feel it was time for a change? I thought he just decided he’d had enough and was retiring?!

I was under the impression that a lot of regional broadcasters were faced with reapplying for their roles or taking a redundancy package, if you were Geoff's age, what option would you take?

Can't help but think that the acts have been chosen because a decision maker has these particular artists as their personal favourite and expected lots of other people to like them as well.

If we were all to curate our own 2 stage, 1 day festival I'd be surprised if anyone on here all picked the same acts, but I'd wager than enough of us would pick bands/performers that would get people to think... 'Hmm, I've not heard of all of them, but the theme of the music is up my street, so I'd be up for that'.

I'm losing track, but are these amongst the players Tinnion was raving about at the Hen and Chicken Q&A? Not the recent Q&A but the one with Pearson and Gould? Wasn't it something like "If you think Alex Scott is good just wait until you see what's coming along in the next batch"

No idea! But if we add Dylan Kadji (sp?) In to the mix as well, we could see the club releasing players that NP used (either out of necessity or because they were ready) less than 12 months after their involvement with the first team squad.

And if they do come back from a pre season, then their pathway is seemingly blocked.

So with the signings we've made, does this mean that the likes of Omar Taylor-Clarke and Marlee Francois aren't expected to be good enough in the next 12 months.

Any idea if this is before or after Bridge Valley Road? (Based on a journey that would use Bridge Valley on the way to BS3)
