TBF they did keep banging on about how they enjoyed it, almost like it was their choice. 8 years of being in the Football League has obviously got them big headed, about teams they were rubbing shoulders with a few short years ago. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win it would be all about plucky little r*vers and they`d do their best to kick lumps out of our players. If, God forbid, they did scab a win we`d never hear the last of it. Personally I`d be happy if we never played them again. 28 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Property Natter - Bristol suburb and a stadium home grab ? FEATURES 14 October 2023 2241 Reads 0 Comments By Bob Ajob We want to buy your house and we'll pay whatever you like - it sounds like a dream come true but it's rumored to be happening in Horfield, Bristol. Notes pushed through letterboxes late at night is the preferred method of communication for a property investment vehicle which seems determined to purchase a number of homes adjoining a sports stadium in North Bristol. One recipient Mr Kenneth Pratt, who did not wish to be named, said the sums involved are astronomical and way above what our June got for her semi last year. We tried to get some local insight by pulling strings with the CEO of Bristol Estate Agents Association Ms Elsie Curtain but she refused to be drawn. Acquiring neighboring properties would certainly smooth the way for expansion of the stadium but prices in the area are already high and tens of millions would be required if this is indeed what is intended. Unfortunately we were unable to obtain a comment from Mr Alfred Seed the mysterious owner of the offshore truss which supports Bristol Rovers.

bcfc01 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Its ridiculous, but we don't make the top ten with an average of 22,336.

Bristol Rob Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 If you were a fan of a football club that had been recently seen new owners take a majority of shares, and a month or so down the line you hadn't seen them comment, be interviewed or share any vision for the future, would you be concerned? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed. Though they have seemed perfectly happy with radio silence from Wael since things ceased to go his way so this is just more if the same. We have become so accustomed to our owner setting out development plans and transfer strategy, even if we're not always happy with it, that we have begun to see this kind of openness as the norm. It's a good point that the Rovers owners are doing a full blown secret squirrel on their fans, yet they seem perfectly happy with that.

There is a lot of truth in fans getting the club they deserve - not always, but often. Their collective apathy towards things, and in the event of someone raising a concern they are immediately shouted down, called a 'gert Ted' and told to 'eff off to Trashton' is one of the biggest issues they face. They don't hold anyone accountable almost to a point that people are scared to use their Forums to speak out. And if they do, they must have an 'anti-Rovers' agenda. The fans hold the club back just as much as the stadium/manager/champioinship ready sprinklers do. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
