It is a disgrace. Exactly well said that man (or possibly woman, I don't know!) Much like those sniggering at our lowest competitive fixture attendance last night the issue at stake is much bigger than a point scoring exercise. What Swindon are doing is shameful. And I'm proud that such a low turnout happened last night at our, and other EFL Trophy, games as the implications of letting this slip through unchallenged are just too great for our beautiful game.

Fair play Danny, it`s not often I agree with you but in this case you`re right on both points. I`d like to think we`d have done the same if we were in the trophy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 8 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: Rovers are still Deacons (of the Joey variety). Pretty poor using a guy who was born with severe cerebral palsy to take the piss out of our rivals. Apologies if you think I'm being too sensitive, just think it's a bit distasteful...

SirColinOfMansfield Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 This is Wally's story .... http://www.venturemagazine.me/2016/08/buying-into-the-beautiful-game/ "After months of intensive negotiations, al-Qadi eventually beat around 10 other bidders to secure ownership of the club by absorbing its considerable debts. Due to a non-disclosure agreement, he can’t reveal the figures involved, but he insisted his family got a good deal. “You would be amazed at how much value we got,” he said. " So he didn't pay off the considerable debts .... he just "absorbed" them! Would we be amazed at the value he got? .... he still had change from a fiver?
