    The few I have come across just look at Sheff United and say "that could be us "  

    They both sing a song about a bird (Annie, Irene) who has obviously been around the block a few times and (Blades, Pirates) have a disturbingly Freudian fixation with swords.

    They still quote the thousands of day trippers they took to Wembley a couple of timesthe deluded fools. Only 26000 last time though. Their core support is about 7,000 I know a few that started going again that haven’t been for decades. If the built a new ground :laughcont: the would maybe average about 12,000 too start with then it would level off . 45,000 :doh:

    Comedy gold.

    Even a 20,000 Stadium is too big for them - unless we visited or they drew a big club in one of the cups it’d be half empty practically every game. They should be glad UWE fell through. It would be a desert of empty seats.

        She fell for his soulful tenor playing, so she gave him the gift that keeps on giving — the clap.

        Maybe I was lucky that we did not get together, who knows, maybe she would have given me the gift that keeps on giving.

    Let me get this right please and correct me if this is wrong as I'm an engineer not a financier.

    The camel herder has been borrowing money, using the mem as collateral, essentially lessening it's value and is now putting the interest payments on that money borrowed against the asset of the mem as well?

    That can only end one way surely as he hasn't essentially risked a penny of his or his families cash?

    Has he bought the 'colony' land with money borrowed against the mem as well? There can't be much equity left if all this is happening as the ground is worth bugger all, just the land it stands on!

    The more I hear and read about Wael the more I'm convinced he's a con-artist in the same mould as that Brookes Mileson weirdo who apparently "bankrolled" Gretna to the SPL, then suddenly "stopped pumping money in" (If he ever actually had any) causing them to fold.

    I must confess the day I heard he had bought the Rent Boys I was concerned that he would be a bona fide sugar daddy who would artificially propel them up the leagues, a la Wigan. He clearly is no Abramovich or Jack Walker, or even Jack Hayward or Dave Whelan, but might he turn out to be such a calamity of them that they wished that Higgs'd stuck around? Doesn't seem all that far-fetched does it.

    I've only ever set foot inside the Lamb once and that was also on a Sunday lunchtime after playing against them in the morning. I was only 17 and had never heard of Banjo Island.....as it happened I was wearing a City shirt.

    One of my older teammates (a fellow City fan) did say "that's the worst possible shirt you could wear around here"....I didn't get any grief, not to my face anyway.

     

    Similar thing happened to me. I replied, "Well, I was going to wear a Gas shirt but I was afraid I might relegate myself."

    I could of explained my opinion better, I’ve no problem with our Welsh supporters, however I would not want a Welsh City flag as there’s nothing Welsh about our club! The same way no Cardiff or Swansea fan would want a St George’s cross associated with their club.

    Strange that Swansea is one of the few league clubs that feature a UJ prominently at their ground these days (not a flag I would fly).

    Back on topic, looking forward to seeing the Gas get KO’d by another non-League club. Truro would be amusing.
