I might be wrong here but I think it’s a business venture by one of their players, Rodman perhaps?

The business was started by one of Rodman's brothers.  There are several websites, offering various personalised items for humans and dogs (cue the DC jokes!), some of them are actually quite good if you're looking for something a bit different for a present.

Seriously though Miah, are you telling me that you wouldnt go to Wembley if you got there , against say, Sunderland?

I certainly wouldn't.

Seriously.......Are you telling me that only 900 loyal and blue turned out to support their team (sorry shite) in a local derby?

That's just embarrassing. 

It's embarrassing because it's far too many!  The format of this competition is a joke, and an insult to fans.

Congratulations to Rovers. 
Not being out of the cup yet is a clear sign of progress. 

Progress?  It's a bloody miracle!

Homophobic chants thing, could someone define and specify?

By which I mean, not so long ago I'm sure that 'Does your boyfriend know you're here' plus 'We can see you holding hands' would regularly get a few rounds v Brighton.

Guessing it was more offensive/serious than the above to make the news? Or have times changed again in even the last few years.

The chants you have quoted are considered offensive and homophobic - there is no differential, a chant either is or isn't in contravention of the law.  It made the news because there was a thread about it on a Rovers' forum, and that's where the "journalists" get their news these days. 

It shouldn't be happening.

75 of your English Pounds for a season ticket at Melksham.  Get hold of Jeffers, he'll sort you out @Miah Dennehy.  Nice ground, good bar and top food.  Don't do tapas yet but I'm campaigning for it!  Footy ain't brilliant………..but you'd be quite used to that 

 

Lovely set up they've got - watched the match from the comfort of the air conditioned bar on a roasting hot day.  Decent food too.

Companies' House dissolves the Filton Avenue Guarantee Company.

Is there anything to be worried about regarding these offshoot companies being struck-off?  All a bit too complicated for my pea sized brain!

Talking of Wimbledon, didn't R*vers used to pimp out their 'South Stand' for the tennis? 

Wimbledon had it first, then we came along and stole it.

Call me a cynic but, to me, all he's doing is diluting the shares held by other people making it impossible for anyone to stop him doing the discussed.

They really could be homeless again quite soon IMHO. 

Surely he doesn't need to dilute the shares held by other people though, as they can't stop him anyway, due to the small amount of shares held outside of the family?

So is this the same as Millwall are doing?  I know that their owner usually converts his loans into shares, but £21m is more than the total of their debt.

Well Victor Meldrew's first TV acting role was in Dr Finaly's Casebook so stranger things have happened.

The filing has now been published and is the right to allot £10,000 nominal within the next 15 months.  Shares are 10p so this is 100,000 shares or 1.2% of the increased share capital.

Rather than the AQs increasing their equity investment this looks like tempting a new investor onto the Board. 

I'm surprised the EP hasn't picked up on this; I'm not hugely surprised that gaschat hasn't as they let Henbury Gas post.

Hmmmm - do you think it is likely that they have somebody lined up, or will they be casting their net in the hope of dragging somebody on board?

Also during the fun time non PC days of the 70's , petrol station events and promotions even included on occasion ' Topless Petrol Forecourt Attendants' usually provided by well proportioned ample bosomed local blond and brunette beauties.  I remember one such 'topless attendant event' at my local petrol station  in Longwell Green so know its a fact that it happened . Those were the days my friends!  

Maybe it was @wendyredredrobin ?

Probably done by spotty oiks, who'd had a sniff of the barmaid's apron.  If they're caught, let them do some community service removing graffiti around Bristol.

Seems the Pikeys are finally waking up to what is happening but a lot of them don't realise that the accounts they've published are up to June 2018. It'll be a whole lot worse by now.

They need to produce a Lloyd Kelly or two from somewhere - then again, they'd probably flog him for £300k...

 

 

 

£300k?  Don't be so ridiculous - we'd let his contract run down, and then he'd go for free.

Think the usual BBC Radio Bristol schedules are taking a break until August, so unlikely.

Ah, thanks - I didn't realise that.  

It will be interesting to see which club officials front it up at the AGM.

Tbf I would expect a journo in this instance to know the difference between tax and accounting.  What I read was a shocker, so bad it went beyond explaining

Makes good click-bait though - and that's what it's all about these days.

Wonder if Geoff Twentyman will try to dig out some info for his programme on Thursday?

To be absolutely fair.

They are ALL condemning this, but I haven't heard any of this nonsense in 15 years.

Does it go on at the Gate or in away games? Cant say I've heard it.

(So, for any Fewer who spots this, I'm not mocking you or your club, more calling out a general outrage).

It's an absolute embarrassment - mainly spotty oiks who have no knowledge of what they are actually singing about, but think it makes them look tough.

Netty you must be quite happy that your fans don't have to wrestle with their conscience at the end of March , genuine question ?

Yes, the only downside is losing out on the extra income, which, as you know, would have come in useful, given our circumstances. I couldn't bring myself to actually hope for us to lose tonight, but I'm glad that we'll be playing the scheduled league fixture against Luton that weekend - avoiding relegation is the priority.

I'm a boycotter, but, to be honest, at the end of the day money will talk.  If the Premiership dangle a large enough carrot to get their B teams into the league, too many lower league clubs are in financial straights to be able to vote against it.  The revival of the Bristol Derby could be closer than we think!
