I think it would be splendid if a well known local billionaire built a 10,000 seat indoor arena there. Could house Bristol Flyers and Uni teams and both parties could share the revenue from concerts and exhibitions etc. It would also of course **** over the blue few as they wouldn't be able to do their usual cuckoo stunt...

My thoughts are that when the money taken against the charge runs out they are ****** unless they can raise cash via a January sale of their talented squad members.

Using the mortgage analogy presumably if they default on interest payments it opens the door for the lender to take ownership of the borrowers assets?

Dortmund obviously. Club of the people. The blue and white quartered wall, the Horfield experience....

Surely another one of ours - just checked the persons odd monicker and its Welsh for "incompetence"

I like the 82 er bit mind.

The alternative would be for a sporting institution despised by many City fans who remember the underhand attempts to steal our ground in 82, and opposed the world cup bid, then shafted a true sporting institution (Bristol Rugby) to the extent that it has still not recovered, to be allowed to crash and burn. Rovers didn't give one f uck about the Mem being preserved when it thought they had a deal with Sainsbury's. I don't personally want competition in the city. Leeds and Newcastle seem to manage ok without it. City would gain nothing from helping you lot out Bert, and it does you no credit banging the drum on this subject on a forum that tolerates gasheads and actually welcomes you personally. I have many Gas friends but nothing would would please me more than for Rovers to disappear - and they feel exactly the same in reverse. Let it rest mate.

Not sure, he did say **** The Gas didn't he?

Agent Wally.

What a strange bunch they are. Apart from Fat Albert.

Blimey, I thought this was one of Bert's very funny interludes and/or a fishing trip. Bert, please don't spoil things, lets remember you as you were.

Jeremy Wade standard fishing Bert

4 or 5 decent middle aged chaps pop into the Colliers on a Sunday afternoon. They are liked by the City contingent and I have personally spent plenty of time in their company. They do not spout shit incidentally as that wouldn't be healthy. If 10% of the hostelry constitutes a Rovers pub, then that's simply gaslogic again.

Are we sure he isn't a subversive gurt Ted ? I mean that is the sort of shit I would post to wind them up if I got on there.

Gasholes. Liking that mate.

They are on the up and up clearly, last seasons massive crowds the best in 40 years......

Yep thats because the nasty rugby club moved elsewhere.

Correct. Many of their "lads" at the time were card carrying NF members.

Are you mad ? The reason Bristol got relegated one season and never recovered to this day is because Rovers wanted them out so the ground could be redeveloped. A commitment was made to Newport to play at Rodney Parade and of course the 15ers backed out of doing anything, leaving Bristol who had budgeted a large chunk of budget for renting elsewhere rather than on quality players up shit creek.

Yep Nottingham YoYo club invited to open the Juventus stadium by the European super power who copy their famous kit. Bristol yo yo club invited to play Sabadell who happen the wear the same kit.

How much of that dosh went into Arthur Homes pocket, you know the lifelong gashead fronting up for the rugby club? Quite telling the number of rugby fans who have no love for football are absolutely delighted at the state Rovers are in, and they were very close to the action at the time of the Holmes stitch up.

Ummmm....nah mate.

I think they could in theory, build a stand behind where the centenary stand is one season and then shift the pitch towards it creating space on the other side. That would reduce capacity to about 8,000 im guessing but they hardly need that now anyway so maybe they wouldnt have to move. They woiud be stuck with the tents behind one goal but subject to natural light issues could possibly increase the size of the stand behind the other goal.

******* brilliant. They got the stadium for next to nothing anyway.

Well they often chant "The Shit The Shit we gotta get rid of The Shit " do they think it gets rid of itself? Costs money..
