I often point out to fans at meetings and during match day that often there are only 2 Bristol police officers on for most games of football , previously this figure would have been much higher. As always I would ask people to consider the ride a long scheme, you can apply and come out for a shift with a response officer, neighbourhood officer or our ost units that do operational support . It is very much an eye opener ! All we ask is that you bring doughnuts !! I think that's a brilliant idea can I book every other Saturday and said officer would have 90+ minutes to eat the doughnuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually now sick to the back teeth with our ******* club, we will never progress under these clowns , what a let down , I was so optimistic when these guys took over that we would finally become a decent outfit and ready to climb the leagues. We will always be sh**e. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly obvious that they have plenty of doughnuts, pasties, pies fried breakfasts too and a distinct lack of exercise from what I have seen of them. They have even had to dumb down the fitness tests, otherwise there wouldn't be too many of them left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Been a busy week but I finally got round to watching the "highlights". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46296107 Two things stood out to me the "open goal" miss was weird, Nicholls actually looks like he is aiming to miss and accidentally hits the post! The "nailed on penalty was not even close enough to be shown in the highlights, the ball was gone and he just throws himself at the goalkeeper.

I’m pretty sure that everyone across the footballing world has picked up this rivalry, whilst looking out for their second teams results. I was only in Milan last week, in a bar by the San Siro, and when I got chatting to the locals and proclaimed that I was from Bristol, they all immediately joked that it was lucky that they were not Barnet fans..! There they were in full voice, blasting out a chorus of Goodnight Irene, until I informed them that I was a City fan, not Rovers. They had never heard of us, obviously.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi @JulieH Regards the police free games or the policed games point, read increasingly up and down the country it's increasingly the case that games are police free? Read a year or 2 ago that Selhurst Park was for example. Would I be right in thinking that the technical definition of "police free" is basically one or 2 spotters? Or is that something separate?

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Someone suggested on Slagchat that they should have a silent protest at their next home game. I lived near the Mem for years so I know that if they stood there in silence the owners and players wouldn’t notice any difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) What we’ve said for years.. they were blind but now they see. blueblooded Youth Team 9 hours ago Quote swissgas said: oldie said: u are certainly right about business methods in the USA. I've talked to people here who expressed an interest in acquiring Rovers and it didn't take long to find out they knew all the tricks of the trade. Selling long term season ticket debentures and refinancing assets was the main thrust of their strategy and by doing this they could have got Nick Higgs and co their loans repaid but after that, in reality, it was all down to chance which is why I didn't pursue it. That is why I've been so dead against the 100% debt finance and no equity method which Dwane Sports have used. When I brought this up last year many fans disagreed and said "how do you know they won't capitalise their loans at some point" but now I think it is clear they will not do so. The purchase of Rovers was an opportunity for someone with access to cash to take advantage of someone who desperately needed cash and, as you say, that is what entrepreneurs do. I am making no judgement on the nationality of our owners but merely pointing out they have a particular type of business culture just as business people from Japan or Brazil or Sweden would operate in their own specific way. The majority of fans, understandably, tend to have limited experience in these matters and may find it hard to accept that, whatever their nationality, people who are smiling and charming one minute can turn hard and impersonal in an instant. And that every day securities are called in by lenders leading more often than not to shock and horror among those who had convinced themselves it would never happen. It is hard to decide whether to make posts like this Oldie but I think fans should be aware of what is possible. So basically we've been taken over by stealthy asset strippers. I did have this concern a while back when they were taking on all this backroom staff as a false sign of intent.
