He then was drinking in Bar 501 afterwards when they came limping into said bar nursing numerous wounds. He asked what happened and was told they got a hiding off some City fans in town. The best part is there were some of the R*vers youth that were giving it large in town but got on their toes at the first sign of trouble (sound familiar?) who were also in Bar 501.

They think selling your top scorer for £10M with 2 months of the transfer window left is the same as losing your top scorer for peanuts, mid season, to your bigger cross city rivals 1 day before the end of the transfer window. We may have lost Bobby to Cardiff but we haven’t had our pants pulled down in public like they did with Taylor. They also seem to enjoy the fact that quite a few of our fans see Cardiff as bigger rivals than Rovers. They really are proud to be shit. Backward, tinpot idiots.

bert tann Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Bristol Rovers Club News A massage from our new CEO 2 July 2018 591 views As your incoming CEO it gives me enormous pleasure sitting here today on the cusp of a new earing at Bristol Rovers. Moving to the Memorial Stadium marks the pinnacle of my football career and, as I previously told supporters of Swindon, Yeovil and Plymouth, I am here for the long haul. A five minute conference call with some people in Jordan convinced me that this club is going places and so is the finance director Steve Brookfield who is vacating his position so they can afford to pay me. Those people, whoever they are, have shown a serious level of commitment to Bristol Rovers and this commitment, whatever it is, means much more to me than figures on a balance sheet or profit and loss account. That is why, as a qualified accountant, I have spent my time in football actually doing things rather than practising. Many Bristol fans have asked me what the job of CEO encompasses at a modern professional football club and of course I have to tell them this is Rovers we are talking about. But basically my job will be “hands on” as will that of my personal assistant Ms Chantelle Myhusband who is joining me in a supportight role. Together we aim to drag Rovers into the 21st century with a series of initiatives designed to distract fans attention away from unimportant issues such as stadiums or training grounds. One of the first things we plan to do is to introduce multi-use containers to all the catering outlets at the Mem. Modern hype has convinced many people that various forms of disposable cups, burger trays, straws etc are good for the environment when in fact common sense tells us the energy used and pollution caused in manufacturing trillions of these items and eventually transporting them to landfill far outweighs any benefits. Much better to utilise sturdy and consumer friendly containers which can be washed and used again many times thus making more efficient use of raw materials, saving energy and helping conserve our planet’s scarce resources. At Bristol Rovers we aim to be at the forefront of the campaign to expose the myth of bio-plastics because experience shows that too many things associated with our club are already degrading.

JBFC II Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Apparently Ellis Harrison (the city fan...) is being sold... They're stating on Gaschat its for around 2 mill. Taking Taylor logic into account that's about £60000. Once he's gone I'll only know 3 of their players, the tramp, the one time Wales player (which resulted in mass celebration over there) and Nicholls...

wendyredredrobin Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The mem is worth 10m but is completely mortgaged and their team is worth peanuts. Meanwhile, Ashton Gate has had 40m spent on what was already a decent stadium and we have banked nearly 20m from rhe sale of 3 players. We still have players left who are worth millions too. Whilst we are beating the mighty Man U, they are being knocked out of the cup by Notts County and we finished last season higher in the Championship than they did in Div 3. Our average attendance is over 20k whilst theirs is under 10k. It's like the difference between heaven and hell (except even hell is a better place than the mem at the moment). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 On the other hand, Ive just read a report that some Scottish lad is likely to choose Rovers over Sunderland. Lets just pause and consider what that means for Sunderland fans. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Receiving £10M for your top scorer is soul destroying, apparently. Well they should know. And they’ve the nerve to question how we’ll spend that money but won’t question their owner who obviously pocketed the £10M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
