    On RB after the match, the summariser (haven’t a clue whom he was) said “I just hope that Matt can get it right because we all know that Rovers are a sleeping giant …”. FFS. Sleeping giant my arse. 

    Oh, they were all on there tonight............we should be beating teams like these !  You dumb *******, to everyone else YOU ARE teams "like these", the summariser apparently played for them ....... "gas heads this, gas heads that " I looked the brown nose *** up , I thought he must be a local bloke ,but no he's played for a thousand clubs, joined the sags in 2019, got fired out by Barton because he was never fit 2 years ago, since retired, so he had at most three years at the sleeping giant to form an opinion and become  a "life long fan " , they make me sick !

    Almost as many pillars as the gash's new cowshed !

    Seriously , never went in there , must have been like trying to watch a game from the cockpit of a Sopwith Camel .

    The four seasons was where Lidle is now, a good way away from 002 in Abbotswood.

    When in my teens, the Lawns was the place to go.

    Pubs in Yate are pretty dire tbh...but Sodders more than makes up for it. 

    Stanshaws hotel/pub is by far the saddest state of affairs. Such a lovely building and grounds. Sadly never developed properly to reach it's massive potential. 

    Yes, had my reception in the Stanshaws, it was much more salubrious back in the 70's 

    Yes Lawns was good, I quite liked the Lion as well .

    Yep, I went to college/ work with alot of Yate boys they were nearly all Gas, I'm in my 60s,  used to drink with them in the 002 and The Tern, I'm from Frampton/ Winterbourne and it was the same there at the time, no idea now as I left Bristol 40 years ago

    002, that was a real dive when I lived in Yate (by the Four Seasons) The Tern was sheer luxury by comparison !

    Easy - I am 47 now and my generation and below (in Yate) City was definitely a majority.

    The generation above me were Gas though without a doubt.

     

    I beg to differ , I lived in Yate from 63 for 11 years and I hardly knew any gash (one or two maybe) it was definitively red ! 

    Even at school (Sodbury Grammar) the only two I knew who were deffo gash were Gordon Bennett and the odious Clarke Osborne !

    e.g. on one of the special trains to Leeds (1968) it was like a school outing .

    Huddersfield and Birmingham still have to play each other.

    Basically to be mathematically safe tomorrow we need to win. A draw would be pretty much guaranteed safety as long as Weds lose at home to Norwich as Huddersfield and Birmingham would have to draw their game and win all their remaining games whilst turning around a huge goal difference.

    In reality we’re already safe. Without Reading’s points deduction last season QPR would’ve gone down on 49 points and I can’t see that total being needed this season. 
     

    Of course....we could get a points deduction for fouling FFP !:shocking:

  16. Dickie Rooks RIP

    I remember Dickie Rooks but had to look him up on Wikki for the details. Alan Dicks signed him for £17k which was quite a lot of money for City in the 60s. Looking back AD made some shrewd signings during his time as manager 

    The same summer (69) he signed Speedy Drysdale for £10k .

    Christ. I forgotten about that tomorrow.

    Means I have to get up and move the car back 4 feet so I can limit the parking in BS7.

    Doesn't do a lot, but a mild inconvenience is the least I expect of myself.

    #DoublePark

    It'd be rude not to !
