Out of interest, does anyone know the value of the land at Horfield? Rovers are talking about getting a 17,000 seater stadium but the figures don’t add up. As a comparison, York City’s new 8,500 capacity ground cost £44m to build, and work started on that 6 years ago. When I listened to the bumbling Wally interview with Geoff I swear that he said that Membley and the Fruitihad weren't linked in any way? Sounds like Wally hasn't had a chat with Hussain about this? Unless of course the whole thing is just a load of 'Hot Air'....which brings me nicely on to the next subject..... On 16/08/2023 at 11:56, Hot Air said: Do you talk about PL football? I hope not, because you've never been in it. Every so often one deluded inbred breaks cover and attempts to take on the 'Dustbin Thread' regulars. 1982, Bros? When City were Tinpot etc etc - Do you have anything more up to date and relevant?, or are you simply buried deep in the past like so many of your deluded, dribbling, crayon munching comrades? Do you worship the Tote End and possess a "FTG" number plate by any chance? Let's talk present tense instead..... Your club is a 'laugh a minute' joke. - Recent Past and Present. You haven't got a pot to piss in - Present You have been in our shadow for nearly 23 years - Present Your club is smaller than Peterborough - Present...seeing as you have been discussing attendances Membley has a bigger pile of rubble than Fred Flintstone FFS!

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 17 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Some years ago, Rovers used to train at a place called The Beeches. Do you have any idea who owned the place and how much he used to charge Rovers for the 'privilege' of using his facilities? You may have read these past few days that Manchester United are contemplating whether to reintegrate in to their squad a young man by the name of Mason Greenwood, a player they suspended when he was accused of, and charged with, various sexual offences against his girlfriend. The charges against MG were recently dropped, as the main witness (his girlfriend and now the mother of his child) refused to testify, and I should be interested to know whether, in the probably unlikely event that Manchester United were to contemplate loaning him to Rovers, you might support any such loan. I see you are back. Any chance you might reply to this post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting - Rovers have often adopted their 'small-time' (or 'tinpot') aspects in the same way that Wimbledon did in the 1980s, with the 'Crazy Gang' mentality - Steve Hamer, a former chairman, even directly drew this comparison. You'll recall that we actually embraced this at Twerton. In contrast, it is City's attempt to make the leap into a genuine contender that invariably amuses. Watching you try and then fall flat on your face, as in the 2008 play-off final, is a continual source of amusement. You try so hard to be 'massive' but never quite make it.

The question doesn't even arise - charges have been dropped, and he has no case to answer. Man Utd are currently looking at how to reintegrate Greenwood into their squad, but it looks likely that he will be loaned out to a club abroad. There's no reason why he couldn't be loaned out to a UK club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
