Blackpool pulled the plug on the Colby Bishop deal. Be interesting to see if we go back in for him again, or if his 11th hour u-turn whilst on his way for a medical means he's burned his bridges with us. In any event, we still need 2 strikers.

From a supposed ITK fan who remains in contact with Hirst, we are his preferred choice. He's been at various loans which have been catastrophic, but with the Cowley's he enjoyed his time at our place and wants to continue his development under them. We have made enquiries with Leicester, but so...

Local press reporting that we appear to be very close to signing Colby Bishop. If true then I imagine the Harness money has given us some extra wiggle room.

I'm gonna sound like one of those usual fans who are bitter at selling their favourite player, so slate them rather than praise them.... Harness on his day is a class act. But he seems to be weighed down with confidence or motivational issues. My overriding memory of him will be picking the...

It appears to be where we're at right now. Cowley's are seemingly left scouring the frees trying to get value for money which is hard when there apparently isn't any. I think most of us are just hoping that this is all a smokescreen and behind the scenes we are really aiming a lot higher and...

He came through our youth set-up and never really established himself as a regular starter and was up against the very experienced Lee Brown at the time. When he did play he showed promise and liked to get forward and could deliver a decent ball in the box. The weakest part of his game was...

We've just passed 12k, which is surprising given the feeling of discontent amongst the fanbase through muted ambition emanating from the club. Cut off for Early Bird is Friday i think. If we suddenly go on a spending spree (and actually sign a striker) there may be another small surge, but...

It has actually reduced the capacity in the main stand based on the number of seats. The truth is three of the four stands have had gradually reduced capacity figures applied due to non conformity issues for the last decade. Despite 21,000 seats, our capacity last season was circa 16,000. The...

I dunno. We're all now deeply invested in the historical merits of Gloucester as a footballing hotbed...

Our home stats are the worst since our initial drop down the leagues prior to the fans buying the club. Combination of a mess up not initially selling season tickets, general malaise around the club off the field, covid, and partial closures of stands at short notice / splitting up long...

Sorry GL, didn't see your question regarding iFollow last night. Having Michael Eisner helps. Given his company produces many Netflix series he had far higher expectations from a media point of view when watching iFollow from the states. He put a lot of pressure of the EFL for the poor delivery...

I was being ironic. Neither were sending offs.

I look forward to the Oxford fans condemning Sam Longs high kick near the end. An obvious sending off as they expertly pointed out the other week.

Saw that :rolleyes: Their perennial bitterness knowing that we've won two league championships, and they'll never better it eats away at some of theirs like nothing else. Their whole existence is simply to be higher placed than us.

I predict Tyler Walker to have broken his duck by May.

I'm absolutely as partisan for my own club as you are for yours, and that's exactly how it should be! From the recent stills and 0.5 speed of the incident from a different angle, it is clear that Brannigan gets clipped in the face by the ball as he is ducking down to try and head a ball at a...

Ah the perspective of a partisan football fan! We saw it that the ref sent Morell off for a foul in the 13th minute adjudged to be dangerous by way of Branagan lowering his head to make contact with a foot at waist level. Branagan went down like he'd been shot and all of the Oxford players...

Reading. My experiences of visiting their new ground (as opposed to Elm Park) is more akin to a rugby than football experience.

It's so hard to understand what is going on in the background regarding transfers. It all seems a bit smoke and mirrors and has the feel of an administration about it. Certainly the ground works are a financial strain. But as part of the ownership bid, we were always advised that these costs...

The same sources claim that once the ground improvements have been completed, they will sell. I'm with you. It all whiffs of a bitter jilted lover unable to get over the fact that we sold out our ownership against their wishes.
