1960maaan Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 There were loads of forgeries and several sources for them. We had tickets for the Open end and forgeries for the South Enclosure , might still have it somewhere. Chatting to someone in the Ground and they said the Police were searching lads on the way in and people were dumping books of them outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 The headline:- 'We believe we can get to the Premier League' The detail:- ".......We are not looking for too many changes maybe only a few minor changes."

But I agree it's much more obvious that it's a deluded comment if you've got no skin in Bristol 'pro' football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clearly them saying it is on another level of delusion to anyone from City mentioning it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 On the Rovers fans forum there is talk of demolishing surrounding streets to make room for redevelopment of the Mem.

Bristol Rob Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, Lrrr said: That's up there with LJ's Europe in 5 years Which, to be fair, was a comment made at one of those BBC Radio Bristol Forum sessions when asked by GT, 'where do you see yourselves in 3 years time...' type questions, DC said 'Championship' and LJ said something along the lines, 'Well, if we are being that ambitious, Europe'. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Thing is, when an owner says 'we are aiming for the PL' that might impress the fans but the effect on the players might not be so helpful. They will mostly all think 'well that doesn't include me then, might as well plan to be elsewhere.' Much simpler to think shorter term. The next game is all I would want the players to think about. Keep the other stuff to meetings behind closed doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
