...and then this. A limited run of 250!? Be innovative, be bold, stick it on all of them.

Serious question. Producing a version for blind people and then charging them a fiver extra for the shirt, isn't that a clear and obvious breach of the equalities act?

It's a wonderful gesture to bring attention to this cause but to be clear while there is no obligation for a replica shirt to cater to the visually impaired, once you've done so charging extra for access to it would seem to be in breach of Sections 15, 19 and no doubt others in the Equalities Act (2010).

It would be very sad if this PR backfires.

And Jack Marriott frequently scored against Rovers, including a hat trick at the Mem.

 

[Lanterne Rouge]

It would have been so easy for it to just read `Marriot Bristol Centre` or `Marriot Bristol` wouldn`t it? 

Not for the gift though!

I don't think they really go a lot on checking "rules and regulations" tbf.

My grief - just when I thought they couldn’t do anything more amusing they excel themselves again

[Open End Numb Legs]

At least when they get relegated next time by a team wearing their own kit it will have less of a Rovers look to it.

First game of the season and a “free hit” ? Very ambitious

Borodin string quartet no.2 in D will do nicely.

1-1 92nd

Bet they are looking forward to playing Barnsely. 7-0 winners today over Vale, only had 8 shots on target!

I met him at a social event once and he was relaxed, humorous, self-depreciating, friendly.  We bantered over a beer, but there was no real dislike. When you live in the Bristol area, you end up with Gas mates, Gas workmates, sometimes Gas relatives. You can joke about it and take the piss, but ultimately, they are just fans of another team: some are nice people, some are utter throbbers - the same mixture as our own fanbase. 

It's the club I can't stand - not its supporters, deluded though many of them are. 

He's in the past been quite vocal of his hatred for 'da shit" in the press so when my mate bought him a pint of half cider & half piss it was no surprise that the true gashead drank half of it before realising what was the added ingredient. No love lost from me or my mate come to think of it!!!

Very good point. It's probably being thought of as more of a "limited edition" and being charged at £5 more on that basis, however you raise a very good point - would only take 1 blind/visually impaired person to raise an issue.

I think that comes under the "showing off with his little mates" category. When I met him, he was at his brother-in-law's birthday.

Few hours back from doing a couple of games in Dublin. Shamrock Rovers are well into building their latest stand behind the goal, going to hold around 3k. Permanent structure not pack up and move. Ground capacity bigger than the 6th richest club in England. Oh and Shamrock had planning before they started.

Might be wrong but it looks as though the 1st few rows are not under the roof?

Apart from that, very smart. Also smart getting it planned first.

No mate, you lot have cornered the market in tented morgues

Impressive point against one of the teams who are likely to be up there at the end of the season. And I'm not talking about Preston...
