GrahamC Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Any chance they might go to the FL over Steve Lansdown's decision to fund us rather than them on the basis that Bath was "too far away" when his son wanted to go and watch local football? I mean if really is so unfair, isn't it? They could have taken their rightful place at the top end of English football by now... I expect their friends in the media (Radio Bristol, whose reporter called it "an interesting development" and their endless bloggers in the Gas post) to be all over this. Classless, graceless losers.

ten minutes of rough Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just watched Sky Sports News; Diego Simeone has been charged with Improper Conduct after their European Cup Final defeat. As a result, Non League Bristol Rovers will pursue their case to be reinstated as Champions of SPIN? Better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Don't they say there is no such thing as bad publicity, but I'd argue that in this case. It's all over the Internet and local tv reported last night. This morning I've heard it on Radio5. From comments I've heard there is little support for them over this action from other fans, and even from their own fans, and rightly so. I don't know if I would be more horrified or embarrassed if it was happening to us. I think this action has caused as much damage and upset as relegation itself between the board and the fans.

If our club were to do something like this I would of hoped we wouldn't be doing it in public, anyway I think we may have a bit more class then that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanjita Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 And all this has to be resolved before 18 June when the 2014/15 fixtures are due to be announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 its a bit of a red herring the 4 years thing as it relates to a sell on clause that was paid to a 3rd party last year ... the key will be the talk of 4 other players being involved .. as i said the more i find out about it the more i think its the agent on a revenge mission and has found the perfect idiots who will play along (our board) I see what you're saying about the players involvement last season, thus making the 4 years ago part a bit of a red herring. Having said that, I still don't think there is a large enough link to LAST SEASON in particular to warrant them demoting WWFC and reinstating you. If they are guilty, it's more of a general breach of rules and as i have already stated I would expect any punishment to effect them next season. Can't in a million years see Rovers getting anything from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3 GAS Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 then as a club you should of dine this behind closed doors and not go public with it with a poorly written statment, it just shows that you are desprate to stay up which in turn brings the whole of football against you on this, Higgs should be banned from running a club he is a complete tool with no class........perfect fit for the gas really if you read my post... i said exactly that... they are quite right to look into it but should have kept quite till the process had been seen to an end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't in a million years see Rovers getting anything from this. me neither... the only possible is a bit of compo at best... but if Wycombe have cheated its right they get punished, why should clubs be allowed to ignore rules whilst others comply ... anyway you lot no more more about agents and dodgy dealings.. so i tend to agree with what you say!! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-City-fined-15-000-Showumni-deal/story-11240736-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Can't in a million years see Rovers getting anything from this. One last bitter attempt to get Wycombe Wanderers in the sh1t on behalf of a football agent with the hump. Even if they were somehow successful in getting WWFC relegated and themselves reinstated they would look like the biggest bunch of crying c u nxt tues to ever grace the Football League. They wouldn't care though "cos we cud give they shidheads stick utg cos we stayed up utg and Lansdown will be crying utg..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBGM Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 The Phillips deal went through 4 years ago BUT Wycombe received a hefty fee from that deal LAST season, meaning they could strengthen their squad, thus gaining an advantage over Bristol Rovers. This could get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I mean if you were a player would you want to sign for such a cry baby club? Yes. For their Premier League fans and because they're so well placed to have sugar daddy take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityloyal473 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes. For their Premier League fans and because they're so well placed to have sugar daddy take over. And because they are the most underachieving club in the country when comparing average attendances with the rest of the country. Oh, and because they have the largest away following in the country. You know, the one that couldn't sell its allocation for their six pointer relegation battle against Wycombe. That largest away following in the country.

Fordy62 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 "Without this Wycombe rather than Bristol Rovers could have been relegated." What else could have been? If I had tried harder at school I could have been prime minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahatma Coate Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 The legal letter is nothing but a grand fishing trip - we think we might know something but can't allege anything in case you sue us and our client but you have until 5 pm today to tell us if you do know anything and then we might take action. All p*ss and (expensive) wind. Meanwhile over on the NL NH4 forum they are now banging on about a class action with the other 22 clubs.

Monkeh Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 do you think this desprate attempt to get reinstated is because the gas don't meet the strict finacal rules for the conference (clubs being in debt is a massive no no) and may well start out in the conference south because they don't meet the requirements?
