ChubStixx Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Just caught the rovers chairman saying that their academy players have to buy their own kits etc, and if they can't afford them they'll need to find the support from elsewhere.

pride of the west Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) So all but confirmed that the family can't afford it on their own, done absolutely nothing about mem redevelopment other than have a nice little chat about it over a cup of tea, youth teams got to buy their own kit, Hanni pulls all the strings and it is clear the family chucked weal to the forefront to keep him out of the way and the chairman lives in London. Missed anything? Oh and it was dwaine sports decision to pull out of UWE and not the football clubs!?!?!?

Get this, his view was that by concentrating on what City does it doesn't help them or reflect well on them. He needs to pass that mantra to their fans as they wish they were us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I only listened to the last 15 minutes from the bit about the academy players having to buy the jester's uniform. He should be an MP the way he side swiped the questions. He did say the training pitches will be ready by August next year I think. He'll be carpeted for that. I certainly wouldn't like to buy a second hand car from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Rovers would consider going back to a ground share with Bath City, but would Bath want them? In 2016 the Bath City supporters raised sufficient money to turn the club into a community owed asset, and almost certainly wouldn’t want the prospect of Rovers attempting a back door take over. Sharing with Bath Rugby in Bath is also unlikely as their ground owned by a charitable trust Mangotsfield might be an option 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all "evolution not revolution" and the "spirit of Twerton". They do not have a pot to piss in. The only reason the goat shaggers got involved was because of UWE. Higgs sold them a turkey there and now they're stuck. Hence the charge on the Mem. Now its all about WAQ and his tribe getting out with as little loss as possible and passing it on to some other mug.

I got a clear sense that GT was more than disappointed with the answers given. You could sense it in the delivery of questions and his responses to Hamer's answers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a house, the house remains the same until I spend further money on doing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Brilliant. It’s finally sinking into the ******** minds . That they are fooked.

Great. Training Pitches. Lets take a different, but not unconnected scenario. You have been offered a job at Apple. The training and training facilities are absolutely fantastic. But when it comes to the actual job, you work in a dilapidated office with little support.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the moment that runs out, they are in serious trouble! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Absolutely superb performance by Mr Twentyman there; take a bow sir. He remained polite and kept it moving but Hamer was clearly rattled and defensive. He's the owner - you don't hear from Roman Abramovich He's the manager - he can shut up and look after the team And the loan won't be called in until Rovers reach the Premiership Great listen, I love the random references that Hamer shoves in "World War Two Bomber Found on the Moon". That thing about it being good that their Academy boys have to buy their own kit was reminiscent of those Bird and Fortune head to heads where one becomes more and more ludicrous and the other, whilst goggling incredulously at him, keeps going "Yes, I see, yes". http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05lps2z Comedy programme of the week! I turned off Alexei Sayle's show earlier and this was far funnier. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
