At least there’s an actual pot to piss in. It’s a start! |

I did have a chuckle at ‘pot’ as it comes across a little weak, but to be fair after giving it some thought in a search for an improvement, I struggled also.

I think the words you’re looking for are “ here is an update on the status of the South Stand project”. Ha ha, that is brilliant Swiss, and you beat me to it, yesterday I thought about pairing the ‘pot’ with the spend on the South Stand but thought that I might just come across as being a tad negative, so thought better of it, good to see you have no such fear. Onwards and Ummmm…. |

Onwards and Ummmm…. It will be classed as negative Taiwan but I have no fears about it because I think many Gasheads mistakenly use the word negative to describe anything they don't agree with and that we'll never jump-start Rovers on the road to success until we stop getting our negatives and positives mixed up. Cheering on every blunder the leadership make means we'll keep getting more of the same which is extremely negative for Rovers. Scrutinizing what the leadership do and putting forward better alternatives will encourage improved decision making which is extremely positive for Rovers. How many fans have been thinking "what the hell are you doing p*ssing about with a feeble £2 a week lottery but saying nothing about the South Stand " ? |

'Pirates Pot' ... hmmm!
In the '80s we used to have Rovers scratch cards. Had piratey stuff printed on the card. I think they were called 'Pirates Treasure'.
Wouldn't 'Pirates Treasure', or 'Pirates Bounty' have been beater.
Or if it has to be an alliteration, maybe 'Pirates Prize'.
BTW ... What's this pot made out of? Hope it's not tin...

Yes, all better, I did think of those, but I guess so did the powers that be at Rovers, it’s hard to fathom that ‘Pot’ was chosen, only thought is not been done before. |

So how wide and far do Rovers scan the football fields in an effort to find new talent,and do they follow up any potential discoveries from outside recommendations ?

Jesus,the Pirate Pot video reveals an awful lot, Gorringe looks like a man under enormous stress and pressure, but there again if you had cocked up the South Stand project then the owner will be looking for a scapegoat judging by how available he is on social media to his fan club and how he has to constantly reassure them all is alright which of course it's not.

Was worth watching the video just to see Lord Byron looking towards the stars. a good video I thought, and the offer is realistic in today’s economic situation, I will sign up for this, hopefully in the not to distant future. |

Only 250?, It just go’s to show how far adrift the ‘Pot’ idea is as a marketing tool. Shame, as the cause is more than worthy. |

Just choosing alliteration rather than exploring the rich vein of imagery available from Bristol's buccaneering past. "Tin pot", and "Pot to piss in" are indeed the two phrases that spring to mind. One wonders how professional (Gasheads are told this a lot) AlSaeed thinks Bristol Rovers are? For the times they are a-changin'. |

The whole concept is lost cause as far as I am concerned, even ‘Play as a Pirate’ has me cringing, Plunder like a Pirate or Pirates Plunder, yes, but I guess that would be a bit upsetting for some. |
