I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that a protest by the Rovers board led to the regulations being changed. We were away at Stoke who ran a promotion meaning we were charged considerably more than their fans to sit in the same stand. The Dunfords and the rest of the board refused to take boardroom hospitality and sat in the away section. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been to Kuwait 4 or 5 times - I ceartinly don't recall the skies looking anything like that, or there being much "greenery" or trees as shown in the picture. My recollection of Kuwait was unbearable outside temperatures (45+ deg in the middle of the day) and very, very, few clouds. A special mention should also go to the absolute cluster-f*@k of a shambles that is their main airport - for such a rich country it is an utter embrassment. It frequently appears near the top of lists of the worst airports in the world. Lets hope that it serves as an inspiration for development of a certain venue in North Bristol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tote End is now Skandinavian room displays, a warehouse and flat bed trolleys with dodgy wheels I had a shock when I tried to put a laugh on this post, I had run out of entries! Shock!! Then I noticed my name was in black. I hadn't realised my subscription had elapsed. Mug! All renewed now and laugh entered. £5 a year?

I don't know your club history but it is interesting how in days of old, the press and fans talked about 'the board' when something big was on like a takeover or selling a favourite player. Much the same at City, today we discuss the owner, not the board. Is that a sign of the times or just semantics or just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve seen football go from a boards being made up largely of local businessmen, to very wealthy benefactors pretty much running the show.

GreedyHarry Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) This whole ‘academy’ thing is making me think. It is barking mad and unlikely to ever produce players for them and they’re bloody idiots for even thinking it might. But, I’ve just realised that they are conning money out of hard working people in Kuwait buy selling the dream of football stardom. It won’t be the really rich that get robbed as their kids will get whatever they want and probably play at an Academy in England. It won’t be the really poor who get robbed either as the dream will always have to remain a dream. It will be the hard working decent people similar to us, that try to improve their kids lot by thinking they are buying them a slice of a dream. They’ll do it by scrimping and saving and working overtime to pay for it. And they aren’t buying a slice of a dream, they are buying them a place on a summer school. A very expensive place at that. And that has really pissed me off that people could do that to others. Anyway……as you were.

May have to close the rest of the ground to achieve 75%. £10 Tickets & Kids for a Quid vs Oxford 1 Hour ago Have they no shame? It appears, at the behest of their new "Owner," they have resorted to selling "kids for a quid" and adults for a miserly £10. I know they're desperate for money, but even for them, this is a step too far. It seems doing anything immoral or illegal is okay with them. So the Fewers/Rags/Squatters/Sags are now Traffickers as well. Wonder what their next great (hopefully legal/moral) income-generating scheme will be? "Hussain Al Seaweed and his team are prowed to announce our Back, Sack and Crack service, (delivered by the stunningly hirsute Irene and her team of toothless hags), our new Fungal Toenail pasty range, and our long-awaited verruca and acne-flavoured drinks (we guarentee they're out-of-date or your money back)" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
