Open End Numb Legs Posted Tuesday at 12:52 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:52 Well, that post by the gashead was 7 years ago, but when you think about it, the age of it is very relevant as it shows they haven't made the progress the post brags about. We all know football is a money game which is why I keep referring to the '6th richest' and 'we need to adjust to our new found wealth' boasts the supporters have made. Jam tomorrow.

My take away from that is that he was bleating on about how much he believes in his club but then admits he won't go until they have a decent ground. Loyal and prowed indeed!

On the Rovers fans forum there is talk of Nicholas Higgs being asked to provide Alf Seed with advice on football matters. This suggestion is being met with much derision but I have it on good authority that Nicholas and some of his pre 2016 team are indeed involved with Alf’s plan to redevelop the Mem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
