I’ve heard he’s got a problem getting the tenants at The Fruit Market to accept payment in a particular currency, apparently they’re not keen to be paid in Monopoly money.

Nowt to do with Monopoly, it was the down payment of three camels and an oasis that was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this which I think shows 12 games in 2010/11 as the longest in recent times. https://www.espn.in/football/team/stats/_/platform/g3ih6Kl8'%3B%20waitfor%20delay%20'0%3A0%3A9'%20--/id/308/league/ENG.3/season/2010/view/performance Even in the great 2013 /14 season they only managed 10, so this season is worse than that, having not won in 11. https://www.espn.in/football/team/stats/_/platform/g3ih6Kl8'%3B%20waitfor%20delay%20'0%3A0%3A9'%20--/id/308/league/ENG.4/season/2013/view/performance Another interesting stat that season (2013/14) was the bumper crowd on the last day .... obviously swelled by all those gert teds in the away end. I'll keep looking for more evidence because .... well I can't sleep anyway so it's keeping me occupied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 That season they were top 2 for for most of the season and thet went on a losing streak, i recall they lost at cardiff and didnt make the play offs. I think it was the season pulis was here, they had a real bad run then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, freezer said: Sound. Thanks but I was wondering what the sags record was. I'm looking at relegation seasons now 1980/81 was spectacular. They didn't win in the league until November (15 MATCHES - I think we have a winner). Had a bit of a cup run which spoilt it a little. https://www.11v11.com/teams/bristol-rovers/tab/matches/season/1981/ After that Watford win they didn't win for another 14 matches Bloody hell one win in the first 30 league games of a season? What was the suicide rate in north Bristol in 1981 anyone know? Our season wasn't much better mind.... 1992/93 relegation - the odd win here and there, no long winless runs 2000/01 relegation - as above (lost 6 of the last 10 games) 2010/11 relegation - already mentioned winless for 10 in the middle of the season, no win in last 6 games) 2013/14 relegation - everyone's favourite season Only 2 wins in the last 12, the win at Wycombe giving them so much hope only for disaster against a team wearing their own kit, marvellous. Their league record for 2014/15 is my favourite thing on this website https://www.11v11.com/teams/bristol-rovers/tab/matches/season/2015/ (I can't wait to feature on SagChat as one of the obsessed - I really am. I love it) Edited February 15, 2020 by CiderJar 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I usually make a note of this on the 6th of each month (anniversary of his pronouncement in August) but I missed it this month. Their construction crew are going to work their socks off aren't they? Meanwhile, Wael of fortune could help by.........actually purchasing the site! It's a strange one isn't it? Announcing you are going to build a stadium on land you don't even own, and at that point hadn't even asked the owners about the plans. Working on the same [principle, I would like to announce I am intending to build a house on land within Ashton Court, with glorious views of Ashton Gate. It should be built within the year of course.

wendyredredrobin Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 It only took the Chinese 10 days to build a hospital so 18 months to steal the land and build a stadium should be a piece of stale cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous or what They have been saying that about Steve for years, it's just a desperate hope, in the absence of any hope for their own club. The question they should ask is: In 5 years time who is more likely to still be in place, Steve or Wally? Indeed, which club is more likely to still exist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sags equaled their own record of 14, with their failure to beat lowly Tranmere. If they don’t win their next game, then history will be made. #Garnerin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sagchat just reported that their game today is on, with no pitch inspecion planned. Surely it can't be safe for a large crowd to congregate under canvas canopies in this wind? Of course, no pitch inspection is not the same as no ground safety inspection mind. Talking of crowds, do you think they will reach 6k today? Can't imagine Blackpool bringing to many to bolster the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Steve's not spending all this money, building a legacy to just walk away in a few years 'cos he's bored with it. Besides, his son and heir is already involved anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
