    What are you going on about...?!

    Did you completely miss the reports of their installing 6 (six) new sprinklers at the Mem..? 

    Not just any old sprinklers either! Sprinklers that have them ready set for the step up to Championship football. 

    Who needs the distraction of building a new stadium whilst such progress and momentum is afoot..? 

    It sounds to me like you are just envious of them, as I am. In fact, as we all are, apparently. 

    Busted, you got me - I am one of the 18,489 locked out of their cup tie with Wheelbarrow.

  2. I know nothing of the behind the scenes situation, but if i were a Gas fan, wouldnt the huge amount of time where NOTHING has happened, start to ring a few alarm bells? Once Higgs departed I, like many Gas, expected the stadium plans to be executed - we had been told by all and sundry the plans were in place and er...watertight, and the problem was with Sainsburys and that they had a plan B,C,D,E and F.

    Fast forward on what, 2 years? and absolutely nothing has happened. It would appear to this rather amused bystander that the project is in severe doubt either with bickering between UWE and Rovers, or more likely a massive funding gap that Rovers are unwilling / unable to take, and UWE are unwilling to allow progress on as they as a profitable organisation are queasy about entering into a partnership with a club that seems unable to raise the finances.

    Whichever way you slice this, it aint looking great. (for them - its incredibly amusing for us)

    You didn't take anywhere near 3,000 to Brum, over 600 less than that.

    Anyway, we took 5,283 to West Brom when we last played them away....same sort of distance....what's your point?

    Mate, I dont know why you are getting dragged down to their level with a my dads bigger than your dad argument. Just let them carry on deluding themselves, everyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that Bristol City FC are a far bigger club than Bristol Rovers in pretty much all aspects, from history, achievements, past and present attendance, facilities and infrastructure. Comparing and contrasting is a waste of time for everyone, in my opinion and is all relative.

    Dont rise to em fella.

    That said, they are kind of amusing, in their own deluded way...

  4. My mate is a gas head. We were talking last night at the gym and he was saying something about their planning permission for the new stadium expiring this month if they have not started on the build (but the car park which is separate doesn't count as a 'start')

    Not really keeping up with them so I've no idea the accuracy of what he was saying. If true though it's a little worrying for them?

    Was the money all right? The ink didn't run?

    nah was fine, it was presented to me in an envelope which the announcer then put in a tesco bag!

    Over the tannoy he got my surname mixed up with the place i live as well... so I was announced as Mr Hanham !

    When I got back to my seat, all the people in the row clapped, apparently not for winning but for braving the torrential downpour.

    My understanding is season ticket holders have been given free entry for the rearranged game? If that's true then I can't see the problem. Clarke has purposely put out that misleading statement. 

    There are terms and conditions about abandoned games. By buying a ticket a supporter accepts them terms and conditions. Usually it's free ticket / Refund if abandoned before half time. Half price entry before the 60th minute and no refund / discount  after the 60th minute. 

    With that in mind I think it's quite honourable that the club are looking after those who have season tickets

    I remember we once had a game abondoned at home against Notts County, think we were losing 2 nil before the abandonment after half time and I certainly remember having to at least part pay for a ticket for the.rearranged game.

    Yeah I remember that one, I won the half time draw and went onto the pitch area to collect my 500 quid. It was heaving it down and went from wet pitched to waterlogged in the duration of half time. By the time i got back to my seat, i was absolutely drenched!

    Please spare a thought for this sag who'd rather spend money on a ticket going to Ashton Gate then go to Southend away.

    We have a 'little Johnson' managing the team, whereas judging from the lack of the obvious in this picture , this gas has a 'little johnson' of his own

  8. I heard a story this week about the famous Bristol Rovers, it went something like this...

    'The famous Bristol Rovers went to court to see a judge,

    the famous Bristol Rovers went to court to see a judge,

    the famous Bristol Rovers went to court to see a judge,

    and this is what she said, "Sainsbury's must succeed because of the construction of Schedule 1 to the Agreement [2.11] which seems to me to be an insuperable barrier to the Club."'

    I'm not sure that last bit scans properly so maybe one of our resident wordsmiths can find a shorter phrase with words to that effect.

    Brilliant mate, chuffing brilliant!
