The saddest thing of all is that, beside the sags losing all their new seating, after the factory burnt down, it still looks in a better state than the Mem ...

... and only 20 pages to go until the big ...

It is the OTIB equivalent of Gas Logic! Anything that involves taking the piss out of them can involve a pinch of comedic license

QUESTION 1 - Is it possible to get a season ticket online to watch quality football in Bristol during the 2019/20 season? Yes, just click on this link - https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/201920-season-cards-last-renewals-weekend/ Maybe the whole administration department has been infiltrated by 'Teds?

Dear Mr Bodin Sorry to disappoint you but looking at the content of your last few emails, there is absolutely nothing there that is likely to make you an "OTIB Gashead Legend" On the other hand, a few well chosen words from Jake's Dad a few years ago and his name will live on for years to come and he has become a Gift Spunker extraordinaire .... Can you see where you are going wrong now? In my opinion, this is what the Dustbin Thread is intended for, so maybe if you could try just a little bit harder .....

Brilliant! Surely an apt new name for them would be "The Gift Spunkers"?!

Did they produce this team sheet because they wanted to scare the opposition (bearing in mind that the list of players wouldn't frighten anybody) ... or are they still getting sponsored by The Big Issue?

Obviously, installing the new advertising hoardings and getting Sky TV to attend is not enough to fool Google when searching for live coverage ....

Is this the first time ever that "Bristol Rovers" and "Massive Attack" have been placed together in one headline?

They have a special alarm system at the Mem which goes off whenever there is the possibility of a new stadium to steal ... ... and it went off yesterday as soon as this announcement was made .... Plans for new Bath City football stadium revealed https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-47305739

Maybe if they dressed up as pirates when they went out instead of the "famous quarters", then people might take them slightly more seriously?

They are not really desperate to make some money ... but who wouldn't pay to wear the "famous quarters" on the hallowed turf?

Just in case you need to start your day with a smile ... "Quite often think how I would spend say, £100M from a big euromillions jackpot. I wouldn’t want to run the club, because i could quite easy squander everything and as a fan I’d probably be dumb with the money. I’d basically clear the debt, and build a ground. I’d name one stand, the safe standing one, after me. Or perhaps the ground would be the “Gregory Stevens stadium”. I’d like to be remembered for what I’d done for the club, but not really into running it. Ideally I’d clear debt and build ground and ensure the ground is held in a trust for the club alone, and I’d also have a cheeky 5% stadium profits. Never going to pay me back but I least my relatives will benefit when I’m gone. And they’d have some kind of say in it too, having an interest. I’d like to build it on the mem site. NCP could build a multi story to save space. Some other things I would inisist on: - smokers and vapers catered for with a proper covered area. Its no bother, and nice to treat fans like human beings. - family stand miled from where the boisterous fans. So we can all have what we want at a game - Family tickets to lower the cost for people with kids - an urn filled with the ashes of our arsoned stand with a mural saying “Fire doesn’t stop gas” and a range of photos of city pitch invasions, vandalism and aggression so younger fans know about the past and don’t believe the Bristol sport “family club” posters. - statues and pictures of key rovers legends on the way in. No nick higgs - free entrance for disabled war veterans and holders of military honours - a large safe standing terrace to lead the way in ground reform, and increase capacity - an app based bar with rapid pint pulling. Limited options - 1 lager, 1 cider, coke and poss one real ale. Just order and pick up from a dude rapidly pulling pints. No cash. - 2 types of steward. One “heavy mob” for sorting out trouble and ejecting people. One other type trained in customer service and there to help fans, sell tickets and improve the match day experience. Just a few ideas. Any other rovers fantasies worth a chuckle about?"

Whatever you do, don't mention Braintree! It only gives people an excuse to post photos like this ...

Typical gas. They were looking for a Great Manager and ended up with a Massive Cock!

"A rejuvenated Darren Ferguson is ready to deliver the fourth Peterborough United promotion of his career. Ferguson replaced sacked Posh manager Steve Evans in a dramatic couple of hours at the ABAX Stadium last night (January 26). The new boss starts his third spell in charge of Posh with a League One game at lowly Bristol Rovers on Tuesday (January 29). He inherits a side in sixth place, the final League One play-off spot." "Lowly Bristol Rovers" has a nice ring to it.
