zippycar Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 For Chippenhamgas on Gasshat, the penny is finally beginning to drop "Normally don't believe anything chimp says but you don't need to be in the know to work things out. The silence speaks louder than anything on this. Starting to question whether our new owners actually have any money or access to investment. " Only just starting your questions?

They were singing 'we've got our stadium'. 3 days later it became apparent that we weren't going to win the Village Green argument and the club started to focus on 'Plan B'....the redevelopment of Ashton Gate. I'm sure they will get their stadium and it will probably be at UWE but it's been hilarious watching them soil their pants in frustration at every problem they've encountered in the 3 years since that JPT Match. They certainly thought it was going to be a lot easier than it actually has been 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd how the manager who got successive promotions was only offered a new deal when someone else came in for him - probably with a fixed release fee - another chance to generate a bit of cash if Wally doesn't open his Griffin Saver sports bag and get his coins out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert tann Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 All is not lost if the two gentlemen responsible for negotiating with the UWE are forced to admit they have failed us (for it is surely they alone and not the Chairman or President at fault) and the stadium dream is in tatters. We shall simply announce our plan B. You may be signing goalkeepers from Bayern Munich but I understand Rovers could soon be embarking on our very own Bayern Conversion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did Fordy although it didn't gain much traction. Anyone who asks awkward questions or pokes fun at some of the absurdities which emanate from the Mem is automatically labeled a City fan and I can only think this is a kind of defence mechanism. Why doesn't it happen on OTIB ? Over the years I've noticed City fans being highly caustic in their comments about your players, managers and directors and yet no one here calls them a "Gashead". Why is that ? I've said before that Wael Al-Qadi appears to be a genuine and sincere man but it doesn't mean he is beyond reproach. The point made above was really aimed at the comment in his interview where, when asked about news of the UWE "file", he said "you will hear it from them" meaning the two people negotiating with the UWE. Now to me that's shirking responsibility, it's not leading from the front and it gives the impression of hinting that "bad news may be on the way but don't blame me if it is". I may be wrong about this, it may be down to a lack of experience or over stressed humility on his part, but surely it's better to confront concerns like this when you come across them rather than look the other way. If others believe that such a comment was a sensible one then let them defend it vigorously but it doesn't help anyone to bury ones head in the sand and simply accuse those who highlight difficult issues of "swinging the other way" as we used to say at the Clifton Lido. Mindful that it's a City forum and this thread is meant to be a bit of fun I'll leave it there as I've got a date with Dot Clarke ( Don has gone fishing with Brian ) 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindful that it's a City forum and this thread is meant to be a bit of fun I'll leave it there as I've got a date with Dot Clarke ( Don has gone fishing with Brian ) Regarding your first paragraph Bert. ive got a few gas mates as I come from the wrong side of town . We've had this chat before and gas heads always say they're more loyal . I remember back in the eighties ( after coopers sacking ) being just one time when we protested outside the Williams ( grandstand) we have always questioned things at Ashton if we're not happy and been called fickle for it. A few seasons ago when the gas were struggling at the bottom of the basement I asked why they don't protest , vote with their feet etc. They just shrugged and said what's the point. Ive always thought gas heads are as much to blame as Higgs was in some ways as they just put up with the shite they're dealt . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on. They happily watched the club they love being run like a circus for years, season after season in the bottom half of L2. The ******* idiots waited until after the final whistle against Mansfield before kicking up a fuss. ...and some of them think that's a good thing. We get called fickle for expecting more from our club. They clearly haven't learned their lesson. Any Gasheads like Bert who ask questions of their owners and who want better for the club are branded 'shitheads'. Many of them have got the club they deserve.
