    Heard the £10 ticket offer hasn’t been taken up in large numbers so they are now offering a free ticket with every out of date bottle of Fanta purchased. 

    Don't Pirates press-gang people into doing things they don't want to do?

    Watch out for Pirates patrolling Gloucester Road on Saturday afternoon

    Wow 

    If any other club bar the Gas were doing £10 tickets and quid a kid

    Posters on here would be up in arms slagging off our club and the Lansdowns for not doing the same

    The gas give us more than enough to rip the sh#t out of them A bit harsh doing them for this

     

    It's the reasoning behind it that people find funny

    Yeah it could still have gone anywhere, couldn't it?  Perhaps we've just invented a new parlour game called 'Finish the OTIB thread title'.

    Round One: " For those who use the Wetherspoons Robert Fitzharding in Cannon Street Bedminster..... "

    I’ll start…

     

    " For those who use the Wetherspoons Robert Fitzharding in Cannon Street Bedminster..... DON’T !!!!”

  5. Gashead looking for a dry seat gets this reply
     

    Row A in the East Stand, right one the halfway line. It can get pretty wet in the winter months if the wind and rain combine in the right way.

    I'd say 90% of the time its absolutely fine. Plus when its miserable on a Tuesday night and you're getting soaked there is usually thousands of free seats up towards the back where its dry.”

    Bearing in mind I was only 2 in 1982. Rovers blocking a council loan is a new one on me. I do vaguely recall someone saying Rovers tried to buy Ashton Gate at the time. Is some more background information anyone can give me?

    The departure of the Ashton Gate Eight didn’t bring with it an end to the problems faced by the club. A selling ban was put in place, and with debts and salary bills still high, an opportunistic offer was made by Martin Flook and Barry Bradshaw, the chairman and vice-chairman of Bristol Rovers, to purchase Ashton Gate for £450,000. The spectre of Bristol becoming a one-club city was averted, however. A share issue scheme failing to provoke local interest didn’t help the club in their battle to ward off their rivals’ advances.
