Come on KP, did you choose Rovers? I didn’t, I can never remember having to make a choice. I was just taken and it happened. Blimey, I never knew I had a choice! Doh! 😉 UTG! I certainly did my friend, you see, part of growing up in a Polish family meant being around the others who could not go back “ home” after the war, long story but most had their legal status as polish born taken from them. The soviets saw polish heroes coming home as a focus of rebellion, anyway i am going off on a tangent but the majority of Polish and who followed and supported football, went for the city as it was as simple as they played in red and white, the colours of the Polish flag. I had an uncle who was rovers and we talked, i must have been around 4 years old and he gave me a rovers scarf and said you don’t have to follow city just because the others do. I then got taken to both teams home games for a long period but always found that I didn’t enjoy the city or the ground, the pasties and pies, a very important thing for a young boy, were much better at Easstville and the gallows humour was just brilliant PLUS no one spoke to me like i was only a kid, as they did at city. I made my choice early on and got into many scuffles at the Polish club as there were only 3 of us rovers v around 40-50 city. Dad used to laugh, mum was a different matter. So, yes, i had to make a choice. I would definitely not make that same choice now given hindsight and the constant let downs and lack of any sustainable progress. To be gas is to suffer. I have chosen not to go right now but am missing the friends and drinks but the club will not see one more penny from me while we have Wael and B*****. I may go if B***** is gone but, ideally, id like both gone and i have always been clear that i place the blame fully at Wael Al QADI’S door. He has ruined the club i once loved and fought over. It’s not the club i knew and is getting worse rather than better I wasn’t having a go, it was meant to be a joke. Obviously not though. I got taken to Eastville by my grandad, and I just was a BRFC fan, no conscious decision. And that was what I meant. This was 1966/67 season and at that time my grandad went to both Rovers and City with his friends. That was what Saturdays were for. I never went to City but tbh I think they just didn’t take me so I was a BRFC fan. UTG!

All possible superbus, you are correct. Btw, where were you on the Road to when you had your epiphany about JB? The Road to Easton, The Road to B***** Hill, The Road to Severn Bridge...? 😉 UTG! To be honest, B***** Fans have a good argument in give a manager time to fail, it does take time to ship out the problem recruit better, and stamp your style on the team. As Basel used to say, give B***** and team our backing for 12 games this season and then decide - before the 12 games were up he said it he’s now saying give B***** season and a half then decide. He shouldn’t be given anymore time in my opinion, because after a long time now we can’t see a credible winning formulae being practised by the manager. When we do get points it’s all a bit of a struggle. And why. I think Chris Sanigar summed it up. Chris Sanigar interviewed by Points West, said he backs B*****, but wishes he would put his arm around the players a bit more. Have we yet to hear Joey defend his players in adversity, or ever except blame for a mess of a match day himself? Where I think Sanigar is coming from that is extremely important, Calm confident and relaxed = peak performance on the field, happy people = creative minds, industrious bodies. Thug managers and fear situations actually sell the club short of what it can achieve. Employers of managers need to consider Calm confident and relaxed equates to peak performance, happy players maximises creativity and industry. That’s how it works. B***** is too psycho to be an effective manager. Nor does he seem open to learning from experience. Don’t take it from me, take it up with Sanigar if you want an argument about it. 😊 Funny really as Sanigar is hardly a supporter, how many times have any of us seen him at a game ? He just another of the so called celebrity fans. I cannot remember ever seeing him at games, in the various pubs or club bar. I have only ever seen him when he was promoting a boxing night or when there is one coming up. Another is Jeffrey Archer, i cant see either of them waiting on results or being bothered by it. He is one those that media turn to , for comments when we have some kind of change go on

He is one those that media turn to , for comments when we have some kind of change go on That's quite a good point. I'm sure I saw him at Wembley sat amongst us plebs v Grimsby.... I definitely saw him away to Norwich when we lost 5-1 around 11 years ago because he was sat in front of me. I think he probably attends the big matches, but he is a GasHead ish.

Good to hear as, just because I haven’t seen him, doesn’t mean he hasn’t been there but i’d very much doubt its regular and, as you say, probably the better games

If we were home tomorrow he'd probably be sporting his blue and white bar scarf. Jeffery Archer - never.

If I see a Horfield Prison warden in Sainsbury's on Gloucester Rd I'll ask if they have Archer, he may be slammed up again?

I wonder how much best selling author Jeff Archer is worth? Invite the bloke onto the Board. He may of already met Joe.😉

Chris Sanigar is a Gashead but wasn't he once locked up for allegedly beating up his partner and then paying for an advert in the Evening Post displaying the words to the song "Innocent Man"?
Birds of a feather and all that.

On the few occasions when I have been in CS's company I have found him to be an enthusiastic sportsman with a good sense of fairness and fun. Someone who would be a good motivator in the dressing room before a game!

I’m fairly sure I remember seeing Jeffrey Archer in the main stand at Twerton once when he was rumoured to be part of a consortium looking to buy us. Long before online forums I think the source of the rumour was a bloke standing to next me

Long before online forums I think the source of the rumour was a bloke standing to next me I think you are mistaken and the man you saw in the main stand at Twerton was actually Eddie Grundy. He was in the Archers but was not quite daft enough to look at buying Rovers.

I definitely saw Archer on several occasions at Twerton Park ... but that was mostly on the left wing.

Episode 1 is next week now Wednesday it is then. Does anyone know what happens at these things? An early hearing for the court to identify and understand what the real issues in dispute are and to consider whether they can be narrowed before trial. The court will also usually exercise its broad case management powers to direct how the case should be conducted going forward, including making the first order for directions and setting a timetable for all the steps up to trial. There may be a number of CMCs during the course of a case. (taken from Thomson Reuters Practical Law (UK)
