In the Net

Darn - you're usually on the money, so that's my bubble burst.

Ed Ware and John Laycock are both Merchant Verturers, so are people looking in the wrong directions re. CS?

I think you misheard the rumours about NH and a sextoy!

If they ever get the loudspeakers in the Blackthorn end working properly I'll be able to answer your question!

633 Oxen travelled - which I thought was quite good, given it was live on Sky. Had to laugh at the caption competition - @Major Isewater gets my vote

Still here! Schools go back next week, so they'll be too busy with homework to post on here.

Dear 29AR With the benefit of your legal training, please can you confirm whether we are still going for the money which was supposed to be paid for The Mem, or is it some sort of compensation? I have read so many different takes on this - my head is spinning. Cheers!

No wet sponges allowed - Higgs insists that everything is watertight.

I believe that the money on offer did not meet his requirements.

Various clubs have used the "buy a brick" scheme to fund stadium builds/improvements over the years - to lay claim to it as your own idea is a bit like saying that you invented the wheel.

He's a friend of Geoff Dunford, and has brought his son along to some games. I think that it's his son who is into the football more than him though. Straws and clutching springs to mind - desperate times!

Or maybe he thought it would be a good week off the field if Higgs is forced out? It wouldn't surprise me if his son took up a place on the BoD before long.

Depends whether he can get a decent mobile signal in Italy!

Still can't make up my mind which way this will go on Monday. :sweatingbullets:

No, it's an unwritten law that FGR get first dibs on ex-cons.

I'm sure it is for you lot! I was referring to those who click on the link, and then warn the rags that they will be losing 40,000 readers!

The Mirror article was quite funny, don't think the Independent has quite pulled it off though. Those commenting on there seem to have forgotten that everytime you click on a article you are effectively putting money in the publisher's pocket via advertising revenue.

Whooosh!

Sounds like a good day out - fair play. I did tune into Sky to watch Oskar lead the team out - what a day for him, but I had a feeling that the rest of the broadcast might not be too enjoyable for me.

Shhh - that's supposed to be a private arrangement between the two of us!

KITR is the one in the know - it ain't true unless he confirms it!

Aizoon - NH made special efforts to ensure that the South Glos branch of Horace's dynasty had no chance to scupper the building schedule! "There has been an ecologist on site for the last few weeks assessing for nesting birds. mammals and hedgehogs. He has given it a clean bill of health and Nick approved the removal of all shrubs and vegetation immediately from the site before the nesting season starts. or other reptiles move back in. This will save months on the building programme, fantastic start and stops anyone protesting we have killed off nesting sites or local mammals etc." No doubt TrashHorfield will lodge the next stage of their appeal at 3.59 p.m. on 2nd April. They don't seem at all bothered that the judge tore them a new one re. time wasting, when he made his decision last week. They've certainly picked up a few tips from your Village Green chums.

Didn't take the Judge very long to refuse the leave to appeal. I wonder how long before we find out which one of the supermarkets is bankrolling this?

Peter O'H - sadly, there will always be some who can never bring themselves to acknowledge anything positive which comes from the red side, but will jump on something negative + highlight it. I can assure you that lots of Rovers fans did appreciate the good wishes from City fans yesterday, and also thought that the AV outcome was a disgrace - unfortunately, I think that those of a negative persuasion always tend to shout louder and more frequently, so the voice of reason goes unheard!

As should have been the case with AV too.
