WessexPest Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Anus Breath using a preseason win over Melksham as evidence that they are making progress (drew with them a couple of summers ago). Did you notice the attendance? 2014 - that was a good year for the Rent Boys. Must have been nice for their syphilis-riddled fans to see a decent ground for once. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendance was as you say 2014 , so Barton tweets thanks to our fantastic supporters 2000 + here tonight ! So where did Melksham ‘s 12 supporters sit ?

We remember your objections about Ashton Vale We remember you being the only club in south west who didn’t support the World Cup bid We remember you laughing at the village green We remember your objections to Ashton Gate redevelopment.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted July 1, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Any Bemny/Southville blokes of a similar age may remember the Glaswegian barmaid in the Hen and Chicken, I would say around 85-87- her name may have been Ang, but I wouldn’t bet my house on it. Her favourite phrase was “Why don’t you f**k off and die” whenever I think of the Gas she comes back to me and I think how appropriate her phrase is to my feelings for the gas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't , I'm sure our wonderful Mayor will see it's all ok. I would guess that any normal person seeking Planning Permission would have to wait around 6 weeks , that would take them up to about the 10th of August and the first game is the 5th. The website says within 8 weeks. They have to get plans passed and the stand built and tested in under 5 weeks. I'm no expert, but that seems really tight.

stortfordred Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) There was a pair of Great tits nesting, but they've now had to move on. Every morning I'd admire the pair of Great tits in my garden, and being on my own it was nice to have nature to appreciate. I had hoped that more tits would be on view, but that's unlikely with the bushes gone. Do we really want to be a city that values temporary structures over nature? It's too late for my tits. but we should set a precedent of say 'no" to this happening in future. Never mind pal, come every other Saturday there will be at least 11 tits on display.

Barrs Court Red Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 1 minute ago, Monkeh said: The mayor has no power over planning he absolutely does. 2 examples- 1) Millions wasted on the arena site, moved for his YTL chums to the benefit and strangely, South Glos. 2) Bris Meadows. Persuaded a government department to spend millions of tax payers cash on the site, only to u-turn when it was more politically expedient. What I think you mean, is he doesn’t in theory have control over the planning committee. Which is true, but to claim the Labour Lead wouldn’t have influence over Labour councillors is a stretch. Ive hinted at this before, but if someone was that invested, they’d do an FOI request for details of interaction between the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor and representatives of Bristol Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
