I don't know Holtby but Julian Low is a great bloke with a very finely tuned sense of humour. His best mate is 100% City and he gives and takes a lot of stick on the subject and he certainly knows AG isn't a shit ground !.

He was also one of the three gasheads invited to Divvy's "farewell" at the Assembly so he isn't considered a wanchor by everyone.

Just saying like .

Amen too that, as much as we all take the pi55 out of them and joke etc, they aren't all bad, I've got mates who are gas, Cardiff, Millwall, Man Utd, Spurs, West Ham; all clubs that like us- people love too hate. Come match day though that's another story.

I think there maybe a few lads on sight who've already taken exception to this.

Couple of days sick leave for these 2 arse pirates.

Thanks to these sags for helping us build our stadium

 

 

Seems like the mighty GHS are at least 6 strong, 8 if you include the two numpties building our ground for us! 

I wonder how many City fans will help build the UWE tennis academy.............I mean new Rovers ground

The problem was your post showed absolutely no recognition of our very significant improvement in recent weeks and appeared to be entirely reactionary based solely on tonight's performance.

You have already moderated your opinion from "not signing a striker will see us relegated" to "we should survive" within half an hour, which proves my point.

Improvement came under Pemberton originally, he's still here thank god.

im not really bothered about moderating my posts, I've got more important things to do, plus if you knew anything about me you'd be impressed I can even write. 

Jesus Christ, it's borderline opinion, signing a quality striker would definitely have kept us up, so without one and the form of two of the bottom 3, WE SHOULD SURVIVE.

One poor scoreline (not even a result) and these sort of posts have started again already.

4 wins in 6, a 7 point gap to the drop zone as things stand, and no sign of the bottom three finding the form they would need to overtake us.

Get a grip.

Not at all, I finished last season on a massive high, with expectations to match. 

Im not happy that we messed up the summer transfer window, brought in a manager with no championship experience and we haven't got a striker, if we keep aiming low we will get there.

i want my club to be successful and to do that you need to seize your opportunities as they are few and far between, I'm not delighted that were better than 3 other teams at the moment, I don't need to get a grip, I'm just sick of seeing the same old cheap options being made.

this season has been bollocks both on and off it, we should stay up (?) but I don't see the decisions being made by the board at the moment as progressive, if SC can't attract players to Bristol then I have little hope that LJ will have much luck either.

i thought we'd finish about 15th, and build let's see but as I said before, I'm sick of seeing the cheap option made, especially on a 3.5 year contract.

Sorry for not having the same outlook as you but leave the get a grip bit out.

At times like this when you look to the bench to see who can influence a game or add something to the 11 on the pitch, you realise how thin the squad is.

Thin, I'd say poor if I'm honest.

Ayling will make a big difference when fit as will Baket, until he gets injured again.

Brighton have had 2 shots on target resulting in 2 goals. We have had  a few chances but we're just not clinical enough.

The decision to not get a recognised goal scorer and an experienced manager will cost us our place in the championship.

Im not having a pop at LJ but someone with experience and connections would have been nice.

Still long way to go go in the season but without a recognised poacher I don't fancy our chances, of course I hope I'm wrong and am made to eat my words, I just can't see it though, some real tough games at the arse end of the season.

I don't think for a moment that the UWE will happen on its current terms, Al Qadi said the talks continue.

No one seemed to pick up on NH saying 'hopefully' the UWE will still be built.

I think it comes down to whether the UWE are open to a sale of the land, think there may be some ruling that a Uni can't be seen to be making big profits, so a money talks scenario to get the land would perhaps be unlikely.

He may be able to flex his financial muscles to purchase the Rolls Royce land and a hotel there would be a better idea than a hotel at UWE where two other hotels are within a stones throw.

Gut feeling is a new stadium will be built to a different spec (maybe bigger) at a different location with a hotel and all the club facilities on one site, but that is just a feeling.

Whatever the outcome it's going to be one hell of a journey and in 3-5 years the club will be unrecognisable to how it is today IMO.

 

I don't know where this 'universities aren't allowed to profit' line comes from.  They're financially independent institutions, expected to make the most of their assets.  Oxford University is a major landowner and coins it in from that.  If UWE have land they don't need, why shouldn't they sell it?  If it's effectively on a permanent lease, with a stadium on it, it's not as if they could do anything else with it themselves.  I assumed the lease arrangement was to help a skint football club to fund the stadium (not enough, as it turned out).  If that's not required, bank it upfront.  I've no grasp on this strips of land thing: what strips of land, where's this come from, and (maybe relevant to the where they are thing), what's their significance?

I agree with Astafjev's thought that it might be easy for the locally inexperienced to overestimate the chances of finding an alternative site and getting planning permission for a blue sky rethink.  Maybe the talks with S Glos have encourage it, though.

 

Her indoors works at the higher education funding council and seems to think that there could be a clause in selling the land previously owned by HP on to a private investor, I misunderstood what she was saying first time around, not for the first nor last time! Maybe there isn't a clause but wifey seems to think there may well be one, time will tell.

Personally I feel totally indifferent to it all, seems strange that Higgs, Bradshaw and Jelf have gone completely, a lot years involvement between the three of them, also find it strange that there are much bigger clubs in the lower divisions they could of pumped money into rather than a North Bristol/South Glos' footballing backwater

Potential fanbase is one reason

Be sure,this will hit us hard, IF they buy in a new fan base, what I mean by that is the floating fan enticed into cheap.entertainment lets use Bradford as an example, 17,000 season ticktets at £99 that's value for money and I think these buggers in charge know exactly what to do, may we see a Gas version of Sport South Gloucester!

Am I the only one that finds this thread rather cringe..?

 

I personally think it's great that Rovers have been bought out and I hope they manage to get to the Championship so we can have two proper clubs in Bristol that can enjoy proper derby's.

 

I was actually talking to a Celtic fan the other day and even he was saying that he can't wait until Rangers get back up to the top flight so I don't understand all the cringe worthy insults coming out. I mean honestly, saying the guy (who is obviously very wealthy) looks like he is wearing a cheap suit? Are we back in the playground!?

 

Anyway, i'm sure now some of the 'old boys' or the 'real fans' will tear this apart but oh well! Do your worst!

 

Good luck Rovers and hopefully the next time you play us we'll be in the Championship or better giving you a 6-0 thrashing!  

 

You're entitled to your opinion, personally your post makes me want vomit.................over you.

If this does happen then they should follow suit of Bradford, comparatively large stadium to the Gas' new project, sell the season tickets for £100per season, it'd pack the place out week in week, week out and bring in new supporters.

In all honesty we may have to do a similar scheme £150ish if/when we get relegated to get the place rocking and get some new support, I'm aware of the financial implications but get them hooked on a cheap product, which will rise accordingly to promotion etc.

And it's this sort of post that makes it oh so moronic when you start bleating on about how nasty the big bad police are. Honestly I'm not sure there's a bigger moron on these boards. 

FFS even the biggest moron can see I'm having a laugh, maybe not to your taste but a joke it was still, oh the irony.

Im not on here to be lectured at by a jumped up PCSO or whatever you are (a little joke for you Sir) this is a forum, a place for freedom of speech, you might be able to bully others due to your line of work, yet this is cyber space, it's not REAL LIFE so I will say what I want and when I want. what I said was in jest, AGAIN not to your or some others taste but in jest.

Start looking closer to home when you dish out the word moron.....or better still use the ignore button if you don't want to  read what I want to write in jest/bad taste, or in seriousness. 

PS just put me on ignore, I find it quite useful.

WHOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's a win either way it goes.

IF they lose then it's goodnight Moreen forever, hmmmmmmmmm shame..........

IF they win, then they survive, clear a debt and build a scaled down version of what they originally planned, the plus side of course to this scenario is that we get to see it burn down "accidentally" and yet again they remain become homeless AGAIN.

decent away end in which to sing our songs whilst playing the sags.  It would be nice at sometime in the future to travel to S.

However much we would like to believe in the team and club, we are constantly disappointed.

I still believe the team is good enough but the squad is now worse than threadbare

The manager continues in the second half of the season to keep making same mistakes: same formation same result, same team, no substitution policy, poor coaching and now added to this inability to attract new players ( Carey implied as much pre match on Radio Bristol that SC may be the problem and not wages). Robinson more circumspect also seemed to be critical,of manager.  When asked why City didn't announce new goalie yesterday, SC made a rather snide remark about keeping the local Press out of it.  If the booing adds anything it will be to send SC spiralling downwards in the matter of holding it together.  SL won't sack SC as I believe he should have done months ago.  

Hope therefore the captain can inspire team in second half even if the manager is in a big sulk

The manager is the problem and the fans have every reason to boo.

The same team every week, a tiny squad with an unfit right wingback, and the worst midfielder I've seen at this level for years, not to mention playing a 38 year old who's blowing out of his ass after 45 minutes and a formation that in this league will almost certainly get you relegated.

Weve got a striker on the bench who's pace is so blistering he's quicker and as direct as Bale, his contribution changed the game at West Brom and if a certain player had lost possession so much we'd be in the cup alone.

BOO, yep heaven forbid we do that, this blokes taking us down, but buying another striker will do it, FFS Sir Steve pull the plug on this fool before we are relegated.

He was brilliant last season but this season is a running joke, I think even Louis alluded to SC being the problem and not any financial problem and I'll take his word over any of the so called ITK's on this CYBER forum.

Me too, I prefer the terraces to all seater stadiums and like supporting the underdog however I don't wish rovers to play second fiddle to city too much, just want two competitive Bristol clubs

You prefer pissing in outdoor urinals than state of the art sports bars, seating at a state of the art stadium than standing in the rain and shopping in a portacabin. Don't tell me you prefer gruel to a porterhouse at Peter Lugers.

The underdog thing is so boring, if we go down and you go up, you won't be underdogs like you weren't through the times of my youth, you will be on a level PLAYING field, the only thing that will remain the same is we will be better supported, in a better financial state, not the underdog just forever in our shadow.

As for two competitive clubs, you're a better man than me (as all gas heads are), I want your club dead and buried, finished and a thing of the past.

Not one shot on goal, their keeper must have had his easiest game of the season.

8 offsides is pathetic.

For those things alone, we deserved to get beat.

Late goals at PNE and Leeds has saved this from being a disastrous day - we are now down to hoping other teams do us a favour.

At this time, relegation is written all over this team - just not good enough collectively.

It'll be the same team and formation next game though - and it'll cost SC his job if he keeps it up, and rightly so.

 

He should have been asked weeks ago.

We are stuck with him now though, who's going to want to come here, 3/4 weeks ago and we'd have managed to sway a couple of proven championship managers, unfortunately you'd have to be desperate to come to this shower of shite club.

Why hasn't SL learned from GJ departure, if this was part of SL business SC would have had his p45 in November, what's the difference, we are trying to succeed aren't we if SL ran his business like this then he'd be living in a cardboard box!

Say what you want I wont watch another game with SC as manager this season, it's like throwing money down a drain.

Any streams up and running lads?

cheers
