  1. Club President Wael Al Qadi has today penned an open letter to supporters... Dear Gasheads, I have been here with you now for nearly five and a half years. I hope that through that time you have seen and felt my passion for this club, my openness with supporters and my understanding of the emotions that you feel on a day-to-day basis. We have a diverse fanbase, as was celebrated in our recent kit launch campaign and all supporters are welcome at The Mem to enjoy watching our club together. However, the past four days have been tough for us all and I have seen first-hand that there is division within the fanbase which is not what we want heading into a new season. Firstly, I think it is really important to confirm that as a club we stand firmly against any form of violence. Any individual that is found guilty of any such offences will be dismissed immediately. I understand the concerns expressed by a number of you. However, in line with the basic principles of British law, it is my view that you are innocent until proven guilty. I have seen and understand the response to the statement that was released last night. Given that this is a legal matter, what we can and can’t say as a club is heavily restricted. That said, I think it is important that some context is given to the comment regarding victimless crimes as I know that has caused some distress. The phrase is a legal term referring to cases in which the victim is either unknown or has not made a complaint/engaged with the police enquiries. We in no way meant to belittle charges of domestic abuse. I know that this may have been misinterpreted in the statement last night and I wholeheartedly apologise to anyone that was offended. As has been well publicised we are partners with the team at HerGameToo and continue to play an active role in supporting that initiative. Furthermore, before we were aware of this issue we agreed last week to support a Domestic Violence campaign which we will continue to do heading into the new season. In addition, in 2018 we partnered with the Southmead Project who provide free counselling and support for survivors of abuse and addiction across Bristol and surrounding areas. All of these causes are at the heart of our football club and we will continue to do all we can to support those in need. This period will have undoubtedly strained relationships, however, I hope that we can retain your trust and confidence as we look to continue to build the club and support our wider community. I hope that you can all join me in getting behind the team this season, we need your support now more than ever. FTG Wael Club President Bristol Rovers Football Club
  2. Odd that the court has recorded that she herself called 999 and asked for him to be removed from the property. Genuinely hope she wasn't bullied into making that post.
  3. Literally got one coming in 30 mins. Can't beat Mario's. Got to try this place in Weston a couple of weeks back, you wont be disappointed, everything is good. https://www.thetexaskitchen.com/order-online
  4. He's right. No reason they can't be in the 1st team squad this season. They've generally done well when called on and that needs to be encouraged. Perhaps see how they are nearer the winter window, then look to send 1 or 2 out on loan if they aren't getting minutes.
  5. I might be wrong but i think the poster @Spike has posted some home made kit designs and badges before. Might be able to help. Good luck for the season!
  6. He was a marquee signing at the time. Just turns out that they had enough of those already and had nowhere to pitch him ?
  7. Nice one! They all look lovely. Would happily drink any of those. Looks like Czech goes well with a curry, another thing i enjoy. Cheers for the advice on the cold crash. Have read various bits of info both ways on it. One thing i have found with the home brew is that there are many things you can do but mostly optional, just important to get the basics right and go from there. This looks like a very simple and rewarding system with a decent capacity. When you brew 40 pints of something, wait a month, try it and go nah, not that keen, it's slightly annoying to say the least. You're quite the home brewer NI. Gin looks tidy as well.
  8. Good stuff. I'm more of a seasonal cider drinker. Summertime only, ales the rest of the time. I would prefer to own a larger fridge for the cold conditioning. Just don't have the space at the mo. Really like the sound of it though.
  9. Cheers NI. Birthday coming up in July, I'm certainly tempted. Might start dropping a few hints to the Mrs!
  10. I caught the add on TV for it the other day and it caught my eye. Have traditional homebrewed a few times during lockdown. Spent about the same on the whole starter kit as it does for one of these. That acutally surprised me, i thought it was going to be £150-200 sort of range. Only concern is it appears to only hold 10 pints? They suggest another one alongside it at a reduced price so you always have one one on the go, i guess that's one solution!
  11. Just as hilarious years on. Absolute gold. #thegift
  12. Interesting one. He's certainly got all the physical attributes for the Prem right now. Still a work in progress though. Would be a shame to see him improve elsewhere and not here but the amount and timing is tempting. London lad originally as well isn't he?
  13. They are back on the training ground today...
  14. Do you regret joining Rovers? "I could of made it easier on myself" No shit sherlock! ?
  15. He's just done it again post match. "Would never of assembled that squad or trained them that way." What a cock.
  16. Apparently Barton said pre match that he wouldn't of signed any of the current Rover's squad when he was at Fleetwood. Wow, just wow.
  17. The comedy will continue... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_bristol
  18. Hahaha...1 negative post and locked!
  19. 900+ guests on the Sag forum (thousands locked out of course). Wonder who they could be?
  20. Barton has gone really hard on that big reset he was on about!
  21. So as it stands they need to win at least 3/4 of the remaining games, all 4 realistically. It's great escape miracle or nothing time.
  22. Nothing says West Country like a bottle of Magners. Pubs open, buys what he's probably been drinking for the last few months. Worth it.
  23. Payne gave the Gas fans the V's up after an away game during his short time there. Top bloke ?.
  24. They are deep in the brown stuff. What a couple of cracking wins for Wigan and the Wombles.
