He`s obviously deluded though - it would be more like x 34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could learn a few things from us when it comes to selling players at top dollar....... I am sure someone from our club will be straight on the phone asking how they got such "top dollar" prices for Taylor and Bodin. Seriously how deluded must this poster be?

In the Net Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 4 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: At what point is your support likely to galvanize and demand some investment in the team? You have strong numbers through the turnstile but every year you get free signings and has-beens desperate for a game. I am amazed your lot are happy to be treated like that. No point in demanding investment if the money isn't there - which it isn't. The era of getting has-beens thankfully seems to have diminished under DC, have to feel sorry for the bloke, being expected to unearth a Taylor or Bodin for nowt in every transfer window. I've got to the stage where I put my energies into supporting the team on matchdays, rather than trying to change things which are beyond my reach. With age comes wisdom!

Southport Red Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Some self awareness there, mentions of Flint + Reid fees being enough for them to build half a stadium or replace their entire squad 17 x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I was at a family wedding yesterday, when a young relative, who had been sentenced to a lifetime of misery by an older relative by taking him to the Memorial Ground as a boy said to me "why didn't you take me to Ashton Gate back then, so I could be a City fan now, instead of paying £20 to watch utter crap" I feel so guilty for not looking out for the lad 20 years ago. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this widely accepted by your fellow blues is it? Why do they continue to talk about a new ground then? What do they think will be used to fund that?

I can't speak for every other Rovers supporter, I am sure that various different views are held by others. From social media, and the part of the ground I frequent, I would say that a lot of people have accepted that tarting up The Mem is the only certainty at the moment. Maybe those who continue to talk about a new ground are expecting investment from elsewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
