  1. On an evening when Points West feature the gas Supporters Club Chair being banned from the boardroom, how can we allow this thread to drop off page 1?
  2. And there's the chance to win a Rovers shirt!!
  3. The silly thing is, last time I saw plans, that not having the crossing means that the station ends up the other side of that road from where cars will park to use the station. So, to avoid the risks associated with a railway crossing you create the risks associated with pedestrians crossing a busy road. I don't have stats, but I'd hazard a guess which is more dangerous.
  4. Not even the deluded sags would have been considering Lee as a potential appointment.
  5. I recall a couple of years ago that there were several people (including some on here) who began a boycott and swore they'd never set foot in AG while Johnson remained in charge. I wonder where they are now? what I do find slightly odd about this is that Coughlan has got the gas into 4th place and his departure would be a disaster (translate as funny for many City fans) yet everywhere else on here our own managers got us to 4th (six days ago) and there are people wanting him to go.
  6. When Crawley were in the same league as us. May have even been that memorable season when we played them in the league on the same (final) day that the gas were at home to Mansfield .............
  7. Awww - sad thing is that we don't have to wish bad luck on them - they manage it perfectly well themselves.
  8. I'd love to see them scrape up in the play off final - and then miss out on any chance of closing that gap as we win our play off final the following day!!
  9. You're having a laugh.......public transport with the capacity to meet public demand? Public services that provide services the public need. Whatever next? There are far more important things the public needs its money spent on. The bottomless pit that is Brexit. Tax cuts for the rich. Dozens more members of the House of Lords to fund. These are the things that matter.....
  10. Tele-portation will have become the norm before Bristol gets a joined up public transport system.
  11. I hope we'll be getting some live updates from at least one of the hundreds of 'Teds at the swamp today.
  12. Donald Trump walks into a bar with a toad on his head. 'What's happened here?' asks the barman. 'You tell me', said the toad, "last week it was just a wart on my arse'.
  13. Bolton’s next match postponed because of ‘welfare concerns’ for their young players.
  14. I read recently that North Somerset Council are now giving "serious consideration" to residents parking zones, and particularly mentioned were Long Ashton and Leigh Woods. So we'll have a 28000 seat venue that's virtually surrounded by RPZs in both Bristol and NS, a metrobus system that passes the ground but doesn't run when half our games are played and (by its own admission) wasn't designed for that amount of use, a huge car park at the P&R that for some reason can't be opened, and now a rail line that will run right past the ground but won't stop. If SL still owns Ashton Vale, how about a huge car park and shuttle buses?
  15. Blimey! Just reading that report makes you wince! If Brunel had had to live with that I reckon the GWR would never have got further than Saltford.
  16. By which time the sags debt will be £17m too!!
  17. So, about what we got for Lloyd Kelly!
  18. Not yet....30 posts to go...stay on the line! Stay alert though, Colin Daniels is lurking for a chance at that late winner.
  19. I feel it's only right that we all respectfully step back and allow @Miah Dennehy to take the 50,000th!
  20. Any chance of re-titling this thread @phantom. When it suddenly resurfaces after a year and things have moved on....! Mind you, with Chris Grayling anywhere near it there's still every likelihood of it failing!
  21. Oh dear oh dear! The level of paranoia here suggests a need for some sort of medical intervention. And the sense of entitlement beggars belief. If you want to get a better ground, become a better team, then get on and do something about it yourself, and deal with the obstacles. Just like SL did (the whole Village Green thing being one such example). Don't whine and expect everyone else to sort it out for you. And certainly don't expect another sporting set up in the vicinity to hold back on its ambitions.
  22. I guess he wanted to be home with the family on Christmas Day?!
