Yes but, they're still coming out with the same old stuff. So, they're going to get some. They tried to pull the rug out from under our feet when we were in trouble, by trying to get Ashton Gate on the cheap. They portray themselves as the family club, with the help of the local media and paint everything BCFC as the bad boys and all things evil. The reality is, they are the biggest bunch of lying, cheating, conniving, low life, devious, scum, I've ever had the displeasure of coming across, and I should know, I've been targeted by the green party when the plans for AV were going through.

If you took some of the shit us older ones had from them over the years and, without too much reason, you'd have a warm feeling in your belly and be a little more interested in their troubles/demise, if that's what it is. They can count themselves lucky they had the resources and a stay of execution, by bringing in a manager that knew the non league scene and, what it took to kick and cheat their way out of it.

As he /family own the asset, all they'd have to do is sell it to repay the debt to themselves. As they are the only creditor, it only affects them. So administration is their get out clause (if need be), and their hands are tied, they have to sell. Or that's what they will/could say.

I'm not certain but, I think he was even more clever when he sold his shares in Cowlin's, to Balfour Beatty for an increased value, because, Cowlin's had the contract to redevelop the Rugby Ground and appeared a good acquisition. Only for the club he also had shares in (which were given to him) to then cancel the redevelopment, in favour of the UWE. Or perhaps he was just lucky.

She's partial to a double White Horse whisky, the police tried fobbing her off with a Black Horse and she was having none of it, Pretty soon the Bells were ringing and she had a bit of a Grouse which was Dewar, the rider was Jame son and she had to do a Walker, before hers Teacher saw her. Coat got and leaving.

So it is all bullshit then. This meeting was instigated by the opposition, who think that dialogue with the club/owners will get them a better deal for their area. The club/ owners representatives met the opposition and listened to the oppositions wish list about revenue streams for the "new stadium" who told them that they are (considering) building a new stadium and that if it's built, it will be self funding. So, apart from meeting the representatives from the area, at their request, who still refer to it as the Memorial Ground, nothing has happened. Local media non story, to keep the blue hordes happy, unless I've read the info wrong.

Tis all bullshit.

They will of course be aided and abetted by their friends in the local media, who remain very quiet on the Wael and family front, especially when it comes to asking leading questions.

Self funded eh? Clever stuff that. I believe they are going through the motions to keep their fans happy through a transitional period. The Jordanians won't invest the £40-60m required to rebuild all four stands, only to end up with a ground under 20k. So it looks like an exercise in puffing up the club to any potential mug, sorry, buyer.

I never fail to refer to it as that, especially if in the company of a gashead, which gladly is not often.

No, that's a "Half Tilson". The full Tilson was what Arkwright said to Ggggranville.

I don't think it's fair to compare the two structures. Santa's Grotto was a prefabricated building, (former ticket booth) and the all weather disabled area, is an architect designed bespoke structure.

I quoted them £1500 for that, they must have got someone cheaper. It always pays to get three quotes, and don't always go for the cheapest, as you might get a crap job. Evidently they have some really tall carers.

I don't think you should be so critical, that stuff doesn't grow on trees you know.

The pirates take up fishing.

Not all the time, it's his holiday home.

Doug McClure. Died 1995. Looks like a clean shaven Gas head tramp, who, would smell like the former Virginian.

I don't think it's too bad, considering it will be the second away match within a few days, midweek and at a place we traditionally are less successful at. Collectively over 4,000 between two games, which aint cheap.

They've had a closed shop for some years now, not allowed to question or you're shouted down and accused of being a shytehead. Same with their friendly local newspaper, run by gasheads for gasheads. Any bad news is surpressed and any good stories are blown out of proportion.

Surely not! They have a new owner who's going to take them to the promised land, in Dwaynes World.

That was Edwayne Star LTD along with, 25 miles from home.

Strange to commit to a purchase without knowing if you can get what you want. Could be that the directors are the original owners and they get their dividends when/if it realises potential. As you say, the charge on the land is in another name.

When they broke the news about their new training facility at the colony, they said they'd "acquired it". That to me sounds as if they'd not, bought it, but, maybe, agreed a lease. In a later story by the evening post, the reporter (not the club) stated that they had bought it. The reality is that, although the colony had previously gained planning permission, for training facilities and changing rooms.That wouldn't be anywhere near what is required for an academy. There were also some restrictions on its use, I think it was a timed restriction where the land was not to be used before 6pm during school term time, so, 39 weeks of the year, during normal school hours it couldn't be used. Perhaps they plan to train at night. Surely nobody in their right mind would buy that land without first getting PP, would they? Is it in the company assets? Again land registry could confirm, if there's someone with access to the site through work, they could check. I'm not paying, not even for the pleasure of proving a point.

They could call in the boys from Auf Wiedersehen Pet to help out. They could shack up in the old burger shed. Oh no! it's been condemned. Move on to plan C then, carry on as we are until the canvas needs waterproofing.

The club have released a statement about their proposed new training facilities at Almondsbury, which might get category 2 status and will be known as the "Colony". Probably where colonic irrigation will take place, to remove the shyte. The statement is in response to questions asked in various quarters (probably the world famous quarters) about what the hell is happening. The answer is: "**** all is happening". They are still supposedly waiting for a response from the council about their proposals. That's it then! BLAME THE COUNCIL.
