  1. This 100%, however the Gas have spun this saying it's "The Gates" which are the memorial and they'll take them to any new stadium....If they would take the trouble to read the inscription it does say.......This GROUND is a memorial to those Bristol Rugby players who gave their lives in the Great War ( and was later u updated to inc WW2. Flogging off and desecrating a War Memorial........it doesn't get any lower.
  2. My favourite bit was where Wally insisted that "Daryll has a competitive budget" and then 30 seconds later admitted he didn't know what the budgets were for any other L1 clubs!!
  3. No plans No money No redevelopment plans for Men No news of any alternative sites No training ground progress No commitment from Al Quadi family No hope The training ground will be ditched with the excuse that there's planning & technical issues - blaming the council - and that if they can't build a "world class" training facility they'll keep looking...Gasheads deserve nothing less. Remember they blamed UWE but the reason was they wanted ownership of the ground so they could -as owners -borrow against it as they have with the Men. As I understand they've put no money in , only what they've borrowed against the Men. The talk of alternative sites for a stadium is Bullshit , there is no site in Bristol and if there was the council won't allow it. How many times have they tried? Stoke Gifford. Avonmouth. Severside. UWE. Redeveloped Mem. Not actually having any money to pay for a ground doesn't help mind! Likely scenario. They rent pitches at UWE for training., Wael announces plans for new stadium in 2021 ( no location or details due to legal constraints) they " temporarily" move to the new FGR stadium At junction 13 M5 Stroud.....as tenants.Wael sells mem for housing promising "every penny" will go to "new stadium" ......Wael and family trouser the cash and buggerr off back to Jordan.
  4. And Ellis Harrison has scored the first goal for Ipswich, that's cheered them up no end. I saw after they'd thrashed PSV Dopey was interviewed: Interviewer: "Is there any news on bringing in a striker?" Daryl " Yeah, well obviously we've got a list of targets but I'm waiting for the board to tell me what the budget is - how much I can spend" Spoiler Alert Daryll ........It's a round number ..very round!
  5. It's not. I've seen that punky haired bloke in Wotton-under-Edge quite a few times - I always give him a wide berth (some diseases aren't treatable!) and from his appearance (he always looks like that although he does look to have scrubbed up a bit for his "holiday") I had always assumed he was some unfortunate delusional individual taking time out from his usual place of occupancy...........where similar sad individuals are forced to spend their (satur) days in bleak run down conditions with third world facilities - shunned by the outside world and society with no prospect of ever moving somewhere better or escaping from their miserable plight. Looks like I was spot on the money there then !!
  6. ALEXA : Show me a sad gashesd bastard
  7. Commercial Roofing game?? In other words he nicks the lead of roofs and sells it. Thieving Pikey
  8. They are sponsoring their South Stand,..to be called the Poplar Insulation South Stand........The abbreviation to be in large letters on the roof....................it's not only Wally that's taking the piss!
  9. No, the contract was absolutely watertight
  10. The commentary is so bad by ? Randall? - he usually does the Gas - that I've looked on freeview and found the BBC WM commentary on channel 722 Quite fair and impartial and they refer to us as Bristol CITY without fail and never Bristol..
  11. 4-2-3-1 I think, the 3 being Reid Tomlin Freeman with Pack Smith in front of the back 4
  12. Warner is one of the 14 charged, sadly Blatter is not among them (yet?)
  13. Here in rural Gloucestershire we get 0.7mb !, but of course we can get to the Gate. Good luck listening tomorrow. I remember , must be over 13 years ago, I was in the Bristol Oncology Hospital receiving chemotherapy and desperate to listen to City v Swindon, no RB commentary then as City were home so tried Wiltshire Sound on my walkman radio but could only get a signal on a window sill high up my room.....climbed up and lay on the sill and bingo got the game loud and clear ....just then a nurse came in and pressed the alarm thinking I was trying to throw myself out of the window ! The things we do......
  14. He admitted he was hurt by people being critical of him...and his family, part of the no show at the press conference was as he didn't want to put them up to be slaughtered by the press. He also defended the comments re the boards inexperience and got quite heated reiterating what he saw as the boards experience. I read that as the comments about his son's lack of experience and competence has really hurt. After all it would have been JL normally at the PC, as Dawe never speaks and SL is not a board member, plus the(lack of) experience remarks can only refer to JL. Also said Bristol City is a successful football club. No Steve Norwich, Swansea, Southampton (all recently in L1) are successful. We are not successful !
  15. Yes they are playing poorly we can all see that - so why does he pick them? His team, his signings, his team selection, his coaching staff, his tactics, his motivation, his results But not his fault ? Get real
  16. No, i'm not having that He's had time , money, the opportunity to reshape the squad in the summer due to the number of OOC players who were not retained and he's had a free hand to completely overhaul the backroom bringing in new coaches at all levels And today Heaton, Foster, Bates, McManus, Danns, Davies, Baldock were all his signings along with Anderson and Pearson on the bench together with Morris who didn't feature
  17. FGR are the nearest club to my house - about 8 miles away - I like to see them doing well. Not too sure about Dale Vince tho' - he seems to have bought the club to showcase his Green projects and the club are being used as a vehicle and publicity for his company. If you read his mission statement: FGR is an important part of the local community in Stroud (where we’re based) and a significant employer. It’s a football club with serious heritage too, being over 100 years old. It needed saving, it was local to us, and we were able – those were the first three ingredients. The compelling final ingredient was the opportunity to use football as a ‘new channel’ for our message, for our work – which is about sustainability and bringing it to all walks of life. It’s about greening up Britain. At FGR we have the opportunity to create a truly sustainable football club, which would be a world first. Somewhere we can demonstrate all of our thinking and technology, and through that engage with a new, large and passionate audience. A global audience ultimately. It’s the chance to introduce some Eco into the world of sport, and not just football – as we’ve quickly discovered through our link with Gary Neville and Sustainability in Sport. He has though put money into the budget and they have a young team with a lot of strength in depth (they bought 4 strikers in the summer to compliment the 2 they already had) and I expect them to do well this year, play offs a realistic target. One initiative they have introduced - if you have a Season Ticket at any Football League club you can watch any home games at half price on production of your ST, that is £8. you can also bring a friend (doesn't have to hold any ST) for £8 as well. So 2 for £16 providing one of you is a City season ticket holder(or Gashead! Cheltenham, swindon ST etc) I've only ever been to the New Lawn to watch BCFC in the pre season friendlies and thought I might go to a FGR game when City are away but it seems all their home games are on the the same day as City are home so shan't be doing that! The offer must be pitched for Gasheads..
