Sorry coombsy, I find it hard to believe that a player will know the ins and outs of the finance for the new ground

True but players are in contact with people who DO know such things so information can slip out.

Was talking to a rovers player yesterday I ask him about uwe and he don't think it will happen 

 

Did he say why?

Good news on the car park front... they've sold out!

Tens of thousands of cars will now be locked out.

 

World domination is within sight.

So Rovers might own the stands but not the ground they are built on?

If they don't own the land then they don't own the buildings either, even if they paid for them.

I meant that the sags are green with envy

Talking of their stadium I work near the downs and that new Williams stand is a massive eyesore on what was a lovely view down the avon gorge.

Horrible white meccano looking thing, urgh. Although i'll reserve judgement until we play them in the league next season..

 

Any relation to Tilly?

They should change their colours to GREEN

Wagstaff would do very well for Rovers, then again I thought that John Akinde would do well for them.

He did as far as we were concerned.

Dare I say it with Villa home and Swansea home they have better pre season games than us?

But we are playing Villa for real!

I don't know if DC did it because he thought he wouldn't be able to work with the maniac at Leeds, or the new contract offer was too good to turn down, or he's simply loyal to the club and keeping his promise to get Rovers to top 10 in L1.

Whatever the reason, it's a huge relief he's signed. The names Gary Johnson and Ian Holloway had already been mentioned as replacements. Both, especially the second, would have been a catastrophe.

Out of interest why do you think Holloway would be a catastrophe for you. He would be for us but that's an entirely different story!

Hmm the Suspension Bridge. Appeared on our Robin badge, can be seen in all it's glory from the south stand and vice versa. Not the most appropriate choice of landmarks for the sags.

Why the hell is there a 213 page thread on our rivals??? 

 

Because a 213 page thread on Oldham and Gillingham is unlikely.

Belters.

That post confirms all your long held suspicions about the more rabid element of the sags.

Giant killing hahaha! Was that award voted for by the sags?

'as good as built' Er, not a brick has been laid. 

Be fair, plans for the car park are well advanced.

Brighton, Hove and Rottingdean! Mind you compared with Banjo Island and Warmley that is a conurbation.

I also love the fact that 'The Family Club' charge u-16's £130 to stand where as our kids can sit for £50 and wear their free shirt while they're at it.

Don't expect to see a critical article in the Evil Post about it any time soon though.

I recently read a book called 'Bovver' written by a Bristol Rovers fan who followed them through the 70's & 80's in which he alluded to the notion that although City had a slightly larger fanbase Rovers had the far tougher element within Bristol and all the 'softies' supported City. Is there any truth in this or is the author being biased?

He must be talking about all those softies from Knowle West and Hartcliffe I suppose.

Sags new all weather surface revealed!

I thought it was "before the summer"? Now its a carpark by October just to keep the contract alive....

So reading that it appears they are still looking to appeal against sainsburys and are looking for outside investment. The sixth richest club in league 2.

Don't worry, the rich billionaire saviour will pay out of his own pocket like SL did.

Too true, a lifelong fan like Wally could do nothing else.

Sainsbury's as our new shirt sponsor? Go on Steve no harm in asking!
