There will still be a handful of matches played at Ashton Gate. Playing games at the HPC has replaced playing games at SGS Wise (or Twerton but not sure if fans were ever able to attend those due to Covid) The club has arranged a special bus service to the HPC for match days to allow for easier access: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/travel/hpc-travel/

As was Antoine before anyone decides to take that path.

He signed a four year contract when he arrived in August 2020: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/welcome-williams-midfielder-arrives-in-bs3/

Isn't it going to be related to the sizing? There are limits on the number and sizing of any sponsorship appearing on kits. https://handbook.fapublications.com/#!/book/45/chapter/s8700-kit-and-advertising-regulations/content?section=s8701-a-general

The club did say in April that this area of the stadium would no longer operate on an unreserved basis so it's not exactly a surprise revelation. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/price-freeze-202122-season-cards/

Where does he come into things? He doesn't own Sky any longer.

Utterly bizarre. Pretty sure this is the definitive "yer da's taking the divorce well" video. He's actually lost the plot.

Rooney in an interview with Sky Sports saying he learned of last night's developments by watching it on Sky. You'd think somebody from the board would have given him the heads up between the filing and the statement being released several hours later.

Are you sure the 12 points could be carried over? That only appears to be possible if the deduction happens after the fourth Thursday in March from my reading of the EFL regulations.

Special programme coming up on BBC Radio Derby at 9pm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_derby

Under the Uefa regulations, the 3pm blackout can only apply when at least 50% of the top 2 division matches are being played so there's no restrictions this weekend. That's also why iFollow can offer the game in the UK today.

Respect to the 7 who saw the light and stayed at home...

We don't sell programmes - they're now a free digital-only publication: https://robinstv.bcfc.co.uk/digital-matchday-programme/

Bristol Rovers (1883) Limited has filed its confirmation statement confirming who owns its shares... https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04501223/filing-history/MzMxMDUxMDQwNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0 Well I guess the honesty is admirable...

Yes. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08462753

Also League 2 barely gets a televised game at all - mostly treated as scheduled fillers during international breaks at best.

They've reduced the number of T20 Blast games being televised. Obviously this isn't any kind of attempt to make the Blast less of a success as The Hundred arrives...

82 overs were available for the run chase, it was completed after 78.2.

He was involved with us during Lee Johnson's time: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/lee-johnsons-secret-weapon-who-2161690

Kieran Maguire report that Southampton's loan from MSD is at 9.14%: https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1349066890069635072 Perhaps that can be expected to be higher for a Championship club which might be seen as slightly less financially secure without Premier League TV rights (or the security of parachute payments) behind it.

They had a pre-season friendly with various measures in place so maybe that counts as their test run?

The issue has just been raised in the Commons and condemned by the Speaker for it being available before the official statement to the House.

Or it's been disabled because it's not yet been formally announced?
