Why bother registering in the first place you sad****. Go sift through your own forum.

Mods presumably this**** is now blocked ?

Not obsessed just ******* hate you pricks and we like to take the piss out of you amongst ourselves so what exactly prompted you to take the trouble of registering for another clubs forum ? You are clearly a stalker and they are most certainly obsessive.

How about boob cricket Henbury ? that's Gas MO so far as non Rovers females are concerned.

I get you Phil. Nice one.

I believe if enough Bristolians make their feelings known about the plans of Bristol Rovers towards a war memorial then perhaps the Ministry will take notice.

You can in the Bristol Post FACT.....

Bearing in mind they had a gurt big gasworks next door and were breathing it in all the time I thought Gasheads was very creative...

No Gazred it means they have given up on the UWE Maracana and will from next season play their home matches on the Feeder playing fields..

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 .

See what you mean !

Like when ? They most definitely were very competitive during our promotion season and despite what anyone might say only about 30 of them came into the East End that season and it took the OB to get them out. People like to debunk that but of course of lot of them weren't anywhere near it. So far as I was concerned it was pretty much 50-50 through the early to mid 70's and i'm talking about everywhere of course not just the matches.From 76/77 onwards they have been second fiddle to this day.

Absolutely right bs3. The book in question was about the 1970s which was very different certainly until 77.

@Jack Firstly Chris Brown DID keep a diary and I know that for a fact. The book IS therefore based upon real events but like Henry V said pre Agincourt participants will embellish those facts. I would say therefore that we are looking at five hours rather than 25 years. Indeed I also know for a fact that he researched "incidents" with former foes on our side of the fence to ensure he got the "who hit whom when" correct.I don't know if you have read the book Jack but despite bunging up the Rovers on occasion it is undoubtedly one of the best of it's type offering a snapshot of life for a teenage lad throughout the 70's in terms of agro (of course) clothes music non football hellraising and relationships. Regarding earlier comments about their chaplain I have met Dave J in his current "form" and you will be hard pressed to find a better person and certainly someone who became very close to our man Divvy in his latter days . As for the large men I could name them for you and people of a certain age will know exactly who I am talking about - and they were certainly large if you were a 16/17 year old in different colours !

Chris Brown did embellish the merits of his little lot in that book and tried to explain away why they shat themselves on a regular basis from around 1977 onwards.to the extent that they simply could not come into the city centre any longer However it is a fact that in 1973/74 they had a mob of older larger men in their twenties and on a one to one basis they were a handful.

Sorry saw he's been banned !

LJ appears to have little substance. If he says the squad doesnt need a few new faces right now he is either out of his depth or being SLs yes man. I do not believe Mr Lansdown is as committed as he once was and I dont believe what he says. That defeat is shattering because unlike Brighton we were woeful and wolves were shit. Momentum is with others and id put our survival chances at 50 -50. If we do survive I think SC sales will be slow until the club shows proper intent.

Much better facilities at Sodbury mind..

Rovers owner can only dream of buying a club with a stadium like Meadow Lane.

I see in the comments section he's referred to as a "breath of fresh air" - that'll be Sheik n Vac then.. i'll get me coat......

I do smile at deluded gasheads crowing about the supposed wealth of their new owner. I also smile when our own bang on about SL's billions. The fact is its not about net wealth of the individual its how much that individual is prepared to spend. If Al Qaeda commits even 10 million he will get them in the championship. We will laugh but they could operate out of the Mem on gates of 11000. They might only stay there one season but who's to say we are going to do better ? I really wish he hadn't shown up and they folded but its just possible that whilst they wont have a shiny stadium and state of the art academy they could be playing (and beating ) us next season.

Probably best not to lower yourself by commenting on the thread then.

Whatever us City fans think of Higgs Bert he is/was definitely a Rovers fan but isn't wealthy in football club ownership terms and I doubt if he got out what he put in so I can understand if his decision was based upon how much he would recoup.

I understand the logic of a high profile manager but one of those usually expects a high profile budget and I do not believe that the club will provide that. Certainly not with a couple of weeks to go in the silly season. Colin for me short term.If we stay up then the owner needs to look at the club top to bottom if he's really serious about the prem.
