It seems like we decide to leave our horrific performances specifically for Charlton. Terrible today. Don't think it went in but still didn't deserve anything from the game even with the man advantage
Haven't seen much of him personally, but heard some good things. It's a tough midfield to get into so if he's starting regularly he'll be doing a good job.
I've never been what anyone would consider "ITK" but i was always lead to believe UWE preferred the leasehold agreement, WAQ wanted the freehold, UWE were prepared but also willing to charge a kings ransom (1.5m per acre?) for the land. Thats an awful lot of money. Honestly though, i've been...
It's been seemingly obvious for a while and I'm quite glad it's now announced and been put out of its misery. Don't particularly believe a stadium will happen and haven't for a while
Good test for the season opener.
Charlton gave us an absolute hiding in both of our respective games last season (1-5 and 4-1) yet we still managed to finish above them. Both teams will have reasons to feel relatively optimistic heading into the season and both teams finished off with good...
Yeah, it's quite simply Billy Bodin. The lad is absolutely different level. Goal scoring winger with skill above this level. Unfortunately, if he starts the season as well as I'm expecting can see him being gone in January, especially being out of contract next summer.
2010-11 to 2013-14 season were a pretty horrific time to watch Bristol Rovers. Two relegations. The latter of the two falling out of the league on the final day, at home, against a team with nothing to play for and wearing our old away kit because they'd forgotten theirs, in the single most...
There's been big big rumours that we're resigning Ryan Sweeney from Stoke today on a season long loan, possibly even with a view to buy at the end. I tend to take our rumour mill with a pinch of salt but the whisperings have got louder and louder. Would be a massive signing for us, helped turn...
Can't be too many, seeing as some of the idiots in our fan base had a meltdown not having a clue it's a turn of phrase and thinking we were dropping the quarters!
Very little (and when it's been attempted to be messed around with it tends to backfire) but i'm okay with that. Our home kit is our home kit, we can mess around with the away but the home will always be the quarters.
New kits released today. Our sponsorship is decided by a raffle. On the plus point, it helps local business', on the negative, some of the logos can be a bit shit. I'd give that away a 10/10 if it didn't have the terrible sponsor.
Signed one of our trialists today, Tom Broadbent, who seems an interesting story. Never played league football before at 25 years old, played for Hayes & Yeading most recently. DC said he believed the reason Broadbent hadn't played league football yet was his Army background. In other news, he...
Obviously Lambert is still loved here so he's been mentioned by our fans, big name for this level but personally wouldn't want him, he's struggled for a number of years now. Might work out if there's pace around him and he plays regularly though.
We've been linked with barely anyone and still want around nine or so signings. Very slow going and not sure when to start worrying, with pre-season just around the corner.
Reckon Clotet could be a good appointment, seemed to have a lot of influence last season on Leeds. Also if it goes well, he's less likely to be swayed off by a case of protein and a course of steriods, like Appleton.
Hope to be wrong but I'm not buying it, id probably be surprised if we spent that much over the entire window! We'd spent around £150,000 on Sercombe, we want roughly 10 other players, that would take outlay to £750k and we still need plenty more, just don't see it.
Only slight thing I could...
