Why does their new owner look like he’s been kidnapped and being driven to the culprits lair in a 1970s Volvo?

 

Does anybody get a feeling that the new guy is a banking mate of Waels and not really from any wealth or influence?

A week has gone by and no plans for the future have been shared. We still know absolutely nothing about the guy and he just looks the whole time as he's being chaperoned around the place. He seems to have no-one with him apart from Wael and his own son?

It's all a bit bizarre....

I will never understand people who choose to wear a tie but then don't do their top button up or learn to tie a knot properly.

Tie or tie knot, there is no tie.

They look like two old dads/mates getting the taxi to Wetherspoons.

 

100% Wael has gone through his contacts and asking his mates for a favour, this was the only guy that said, OK.

Or a couple of middle managers at an insurance company on their way back to the Premier Inn after a day on a training course.

I have to say I`m guilty of this. I wear a tie for work and always have my top button undone due to my fat neck. All my work shirts have button down collars though so it doesn`t look scruffy.

Yes Lanterne, but you are redeemed by a) being a thoroughly nice person and b) supporting a proper football team. So you get a pass.

Myself, I don't bother with a tie at all. Free the neck I say.

If you’re going to wear a tie you should go the whole way - double breasted suit and bouffant hair.

A couple of phoney belters on their way driving in a vehicle with no seat belts on. Obviously above the law. A bit like planning permission.

The new mug co-owner (or whatever he is) looks like a stunt double for Borats mate in the film...

You must have enjoyed the results tonight.     Rovers did try at times and had one or two chances themselves when it was still  1 - 0  but over the 90 minutes there can be no doubt the team that wanted it more got the victory.

All played out on a new pitch resurfaced during the summer and it wasn't too bad a crowd for a midweek first round League cup tie although only a few number of Gas fans made the long trip over.     All right it's a fair distance between places but thought they could have numbered a few more for the visit.

We played well at times, showed flair and creativity and now unbeaten in 'proper' competition for something near 20 games.    Didn't need a full strength team to get past these opponents but a number of familiar faces were present and correct all the same.       We won't win it,  never have and probably never will but the difference in hope and progress since Marcus Evans fuc, sorry, took off, is simply remarkable.       We haven't had such belief in our abilities for a long long time but after the promotion there is still so much to do.    Nothing further has been achieved as yet.

Genuine question here - how many do we reckon we’d have taken over there for that game? I definitely wouldn’t have been heading over there midweek with work, finances, and the fact we’ve been there plenty of times a few years back. What are the estimates for what we’d have travelled with?

Less than 200 I recon but we don't constantly harp on about huge away support like they do.

200? 

Not expecting many more will got to Hull on a Friday night in a couple of weeks BUT we aren’t the ones who bang on and on about how supposedly amazing our away support is.

Outwood Gas and another 2,000 gasheads were in the home end. It is the only possible explanation.

 

Why did he “have to”? Clearly not due to lack of availability - did he once post something on A$$hat that wasn’t unalloyed praise for the club, its owners and Sharton, and worried he’d be set upon if he showed his face?

This used to be a regular Gas lie 20 years ago. Any estimates of away support would always have various Gasheads claiming the actual figure was higher because of mythical ‘Gas in the ome end’….despite there always being plenty of space in the away end with the rest of the mouth breathing turnips.

I reckon about this. We do have a lot of London/Home Counties based fans who would probably have made the trip since we`ve not played there for a while.

Still, yet another year where the saggies miss out on a glorious cup run all the way to round 2. Never mind.

Remember the “Pirates Pot” that launched a couple of weeks ago and offered the opportunity for the loyal and true to put money into the club - at just £2 a week - and have chance to win rewards based on the size of said pot.

Well, it’s going well 
 

Massive.

If they reach 500 members they're bound to start claiming their academy is better than ours. And their youth teams will be playing in front of 40,000 crowds of course.

They'll have permission for that new metal tent before they hit the magic 500.
