Apparently the missile did £10m worth of improvements.

One area that received particular praise has been our new Away Fan Strategy which was recently featured in the Independant..... another area that hasn't received particular praise is my spelling. There's no 'a' in independent.

You know how the Rovers twisted our early 80's chant of "The gas, the gas. We've got to get rid of the gas" (Wilfred Owen couldn't have written better)? Well, how about we do something similar which will make the club shop loads of money? We have a few clever posters here who can photoshop/edit a picture before I can spell Jacki's real name. So please feel free to add a robin/club badge etc to this picture....

Rather apt pun as Edwin's classic Northern Soul track is S.O.S. Edwin's other famous sixties track was a reworking of the song War. He called it Gas. The first verse went. .. GAS-Huh. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again. .....

In my day (when I went to the occasional Rugby match) there was a full size training pitch behind the opposite main stand. I note that it's now a car park plus housing development. I trust the money from the sale of the land was used wisely. When was this land sold?

Thanks Rich for turning my Dumb and Dumber analogy into A Few Good Men! I got the second part of your brief history more or less right but had either forgotten or didn't know the first part (most likely the latter)! Judge: For the twentieth time, and don't tell me I can't handle the truth, did you issue a code blue and white? BRC Chairman: Too damn right I did.

Rich, I thought your post was well written with some great points made (phew I can hear you say!) Before I go on any rant, are you referring as to how they got to own the ground in the 90s from Bristol Rugby Club or how and why BRC eventually left? If it was the former, I admire their cheek and tenacity purely from a business perspective as to how their then board achieved the coup of the century. The stupidity/greed of the Rugby board has to be questioned because of the mess they got themselves in. In the film Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey asks a really beautiful millionairess if he has a chance of her becoming his girlfriend. She replied that he had a million to one chance. His response was "So I've got a chance then!" Rovers asked and got it all, courtesy of it being written down on paper! Whatever we think of Rovers and that 90s business deal, they didn't learn from it. They should have. If they had, then we wouldn't have had the funniest laugh out loud moment in our history when we signed Matty Taylor....all because it was written down on paper and we asked! Let's see what else their new board has had written down on paper..........

Slightly off-topic but ever since Kraft owned Cadbury's (Fry's in our day) from that horrid takeover, I have done my best not to buy Cadbury's chocolate. Mind you Fry's had football pitches so thats back on topic! Trouble is my wife and son like Cadbury chocolate. A deal was made that they could buy Cadbury. If I buy chocolate for the family, it's either Sainsbury's own brand or a Swiss manufacturer. My stance on this important matter certainly has rattled Kraft or whatever they're called now.......maybe!

Cynic, It's Scarborough as in the McCain Stadium. They had their chips etc.

They should be called....Dap(py) Darrells

Also here. At last, common sense has broken out on the ECB. Now all we need is for the Beeb to bring back speedway and the golf.... BBC to broadcast live TV coverage of English international and domestic cricket - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/40455556 17 years of hurt, TV screen still gleaming. ....

Having watched both angles it looks as if a steward was indeed punching someone and had to be pulled away. Are stewards allowed to punch even if provoked or in self-defence?

Can we save this joke for when we play Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium?
