That is to mend broken heads. With holes in buckets you need straw, that must not be too long and if it is it will need cutting with a sharp knife which will need a wet stone to sharpen it, in order to wet the stone you will need water which will need a bucket to collect it. Essentially this analogy means that the gas are fugged. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Don't worry, they've built in some great entertainment later in the year when the existing floodlights illuminate the top of the roof at one end and the championship ready tarmac at the other end.

The delusion is strong in this one Some think that the new kebab man who has a 55% stake in the tinpot outfit has come in and decided that the Fruitihad isn’t favourable enough for Da Gas and has better plans for the future….

How about a nice quick turnover for the new fella and Wally gets his money back ? Its not as if they can sell the Mem, buy land, and build a new stadium for that money - at least 50m short, probably a hell of a lot more. And to redevelop the Mem would be at least 30m/40m to make it anywhere near worthwhile. Even then, its in a hopeless location for meaningful additional revenue. They should be going back to UWE imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackofromSanJavier Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Hi Mods, could you please roll out the OTIB red carpet for the g4s forum legend that is 'Pirate'? With outlandish and divisive opinions like those in his/her/other posting, there's a fairly swift banishment to 'join they gert teds' rumbling up on the horizon. pirate Forum Legend Posts: 17,210 With all due respect, there is zero evidence the new owners had the means to personally write off £2.2million on one player and looks like when it came to the crunch we were found wanting, because there is absolutely no reason why having agreed a deal with 2 hours left of the deadline (and the Peterborough United Head of Football Operations even helping us speed up the paperwork) that we shouldn't have completed the paperwork and deal in plenty of time. If you want to believe poor old Bristol Rovers somehow simply missed the two deadlines by a matter of seconds/minutes (despite having 2 HOURS to get it over the line) then that is your prerogative, but it certainly doesn't wash with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
