sorry matster i do not know what i am doing. i am bringing my netbook with me on friday as the place i am staying at in salop has free wifi, i doubt whether liz at the railway inn has a computer. anyway if you are at the railway on friday night you can go through the motions. new technology to me is ok if it is simple. but many thanks for explaining it to an old lamebrain
You're lucky to get a phone signal in the Railway, let alone a WiFi one. I do not think Liz haz Wifi. Where abouts in salopia are you residing?
hi matster 1 night at 15 monk. rd, prynces vills. i suspect i will not be there long, as i am off out at 18.30, any way hope to see you at the yorton hilton. i have some computer friends who will know what to do, and will follow your instructions. but thanks for the offer. 1 feel a prediction coming on at oxford. oxon 3 gas 1, although gas did win at morecambe. apparantly paul buckle blames the mem ground pitch for the gas home record. it is either that or the fans or the gasometers may be the wrong shape. will city and rovers be having 2 new managers by christmas. perhaps paul simpson is the answer to the gas prayers.
My point being that 'The Gas will be back' makes no sense as they never turned up in the first place. The only walking in Brizzle is that of the disgruntled early leavers from the Memorial Stadium(memorial of what?) with the team languishing in 15th/ or somewhere like that. Ie pretty insignificant
You have to give credit to the gallant battlers of little Bristol Rovers who succumbed yet again to massive Oxford United.
The Gas are really clutching at straws now. It comes to something when you have to sign Ruth Rendell to uncover the mystery as to why their results are so poor.
Luton probably say the same. Are you following their path? Anyway, who cares? Rovers will always be smaller than City and that must really hurt you, since you place such importance on these things. Hilarious.
City are not much bigger than Rovers I will have you know. Yes they have been in the top league, for about 2 seasons, but otherwise it has been very close. Both poor lower league sides, but both still MASSIVE compared to Shrewsbury
How are you measuring that then? League status? Crowd size? Stadium size? Erm, struggling to think of any area in which Rovers would come anywhere near City. Let me guess - electricity bills? Anyway, why are you so obsessed with size? You know what they say.
Good. Then you know that, in the real world, you're 17th in League 2, with a goal difference of -6 and 8 points above a place that would dump you out of the Football League. But, here's the thing, nobody outside the Gaseous few thinks that's remarkable - which suggests you're the only ones who think you're any bigger than the rest of the tinpot lower leagues. Still, at least you might get to play at Twerton Park again next season.
oh very drole shrewd! now get this, any gasheads away from their kindergarden threads, shrewsbury is a small county market town, it has a well known football cub, we are not massif, tinpot or large. we are a small club flying high in the league, we have the best manager in the league, a great squad of players and it is possible we may be playing our class act football in a higher league next season. now let us compare our small club with the much faded former magnificence of bristol rovers football club who were at their peak during the reign of king george V and queen mary, since then they have gradually subsided into what is generally known as a bargain basement journeyman club. in 17th place and in grave danger of falling a further 7 places, rovers must be concerned at the lack of progress in the league, and in particular the direction mr buckle is taking the club. it must be great to be a massif club, especially if you have the league form to go with it. sadly rovers form is apparently heading south at a rate of knots down the cliff face of the avon gorge.
olympic stadium news --------------------------------------- in a bid to increase their attendances, it is rumoured that the directors of bristol rovers are considering a groundshare with west ham, bristol rfc, wasps rfc and stratford boys club at the redundant olympic stadium from 2014. it is anticipated that the gas will play their "home" games under floodlights at 05.00 am on saturday mornings.
The BBC has a new programme coming out in January called The Only Way is Brizzle. It will feature the highs and lows of Bristol Rovers, their staff, squad and supporters. The first episode will show the intense training regime instilled by Paul Buckle and named the Dunford Dash, all of the players have to be up at four am to collect their milk round, and then deliver all of the bottles as quick as they can. The first to return without any customer complaints gets a suckle on maisy the cows mastitic udder.
