To be fair, on that subject, he is right. While Bristol Rugby did prostitute itself to Bristol Sport, it only did so because we drove them to the brink of destruction. How did we do that then? still waiting for his knowledge

We bought the whole ground for 2.6 million and the 10k banded around at the time that we allegedly bought the ground for was for a half share of the holding company,which was jointly owned by the 2 clubs to protect the ground from being sold and the other being homeless in the event of 1 going into administration( in this case Bristol in trouble)with an agreement that should this happen the other party could purchase the other half of the holding company , now this could've quite easily gone in the other direction but didn't fortunately/ unfortunately depending on the shape of your balls Timmyq Give it up. Everybody knows this, it's just that some don't want to either hear or believe it. And it's not as if we exactly held a gun to the heads of the owners of Bristol Rugby and forced them to enter into the agreement, they were more than happy to take the money. Do you like the way that Cassey jumps in, running his/her mouth, but then when asked to back anything up, the silence is deafening. Maybe just looked at the League table and realised that they really are in very real danger of going down. Wonder if Turncoat has a contract clause that means he can leave if they get relegated?

He's absolutely right though. You literally drove Bristol Rugby club to the wall and stole their ground from under them. So desperate were you to have a home after your nomadic existence for a decade plus, you left morals at the door and shafted the club that took you in. Deny it all you like, I found it appalling. I speak there as a fan of the rugby club. You're fake news ... - Bristol Rugby Club were running into financial difficulties, and were considering selling the site to Amtrak. - Bristol Rovers Football Club bought a 50% stake in the ground (an amount similar to what had been offered for the whole site, rather than half), with an agreement that if either club went to the wall the other would buy their 50% for £10k. - For the first few years Bristol Rugby Club were charged a peppercorn rent, to help them get back on their feet. - Had Bristol Rugby Club sold the Memorial Stadium, to a company such as Amtrak, I doubt it would still be a stadium now and more than likely filled with houses. - Had Bristol Rugby Club not made that agreement with Bristol Rovers Football Club the likelihood is there may not still Bristol Rugby Club in existence. If you really must come on our forum I would be most grateful if you didn't spout complete and utter crap.

And I can tell you from personal - well company experience - that a gentlemans agreement relating to employment of people means the square root of f all in legal terms. It's also impossible to have a gentlemans agreement when there is only one gentleman in the room; that gentleman wears blue and white.

You literally drove Bristol Rugby club to the wall and stole their ground from under them Kaiser, to save future embarrassment, go and look at the definition of "literally". And then check "figuratively". You might learn something. Literally. Save words. Save face.

Perhaps you can explain what was wrong with that? Now perhaps you can give us your thoughts on the contracts that Bristol City signed that they didn't complete?

Was replying to a known sheeted at that point so was, I must admit, on a different tone. But also, having supported this club for over 50 years man and boy, I do object ( in seconds flat!) to it being suggested that I want anything whatsoever to do with 82 or indeed that I might have any friends there at all. Onwards.... Fair enough, we'll agree to differ on the subject of the rape of Bristol Rugby Club Completely unacceptable language, you are an embarrassment to yourself.

Men gleefully using the language primarily of the most vile violence against women inappropriately to make their point - don't have a point. If you want to debate, Sir, which is rather the point of this place, then think before you click post.

I happen to agree with the description he made. My views on this subject are absolutely nothing to do with my football club allegiance (though the relationship we have with the rugby club seems much more warm and genuine). My views are as a supporter of Bristol RFC. They were treated utterly disgracefully. To my original point - if there is a gentlemans agreement with - 1. A club that shafted the rugby club out of their own home (to save it from being developed into houses? Funny I seem to recall you were trying to flog the land to a supermarket only last year)... 2. A club that seems to have practices at its supporters club that need the investigations of the police for fraud. 3. A non local owner who enters an agreement with our owner to make no further comment - then less than a week later tells the local radio station what the deal is... Given this deal pretty much only hinders us - as players don't tend to leave a bigger, better, higher quality football club for a much less regarded local so called "rival". Then we are well advised to keep a careful watch on this "agreement".....

Firstly, just a small point, you can't have a 'gentlemans agreement', that would require agreement with yourself. I won't explain, go Google. Next. The Rugby club and Rovers had a legally binding agreement, entered into by both parties, and they were very well paid for doing so. In what way were they 'shafted' other than by their own incompetence in not being able to manage the club's finances moving forward? In fact, I strongly suspect that when they first saw that clause they had a little glint in their eyes and thought they may have just been given £2.3m for nothing. It was the Turncoat deal that they agreed not to discuss, so far so good. No you aren't bigger or better, take a look at the League table you numpty! You lose millions every year trying to compete with the big boys, and get it wrong time after time, this year is no exception, you should be embarrassed. 2 1/2 years ago you thought we were finished, now here we are, right up behind you, and doing it on a shoestring budget, hurts, doesn't it

Not only are we about to be stood on their toes, and maybe above them, their future looks far from certain. The thing that I'm wondering is, why would Lansdown want to put together a sports franchise? The only thing I can come up with is that he wants to sell the whole thing in one go, then whatever happens he can wash his hands of it and say that he left 1982 'in a good place' and the new owners passed the 'fit and proper persons' test. But Cassey, the conversation hasn't moved on, you have some points to answer here, if you could please?

The important point is you shaft people if you don't perform the terms of a contract, Bristol Rovers performed the terms of a contract that Bristol Rugby Club freely signed.

He will follow this up with the same old brainwashed s***e he and his fellow compadres truly believe to make them feel better about they're own insecurities and they're collective personality obsessive disorder towards all things blue and white. We are coming up behind them at an alarming rate whilst they stand there pissing in the wind with their millions of squanderness , here's looking forward to September/ October 2017 😉🤔⚽️

Taking the rugby club from its homeland & fanbase,moving it to the other side of the city & gradually adding more & more red to its traditional home kit is what I call shafting .

Look forward to Sept all you like.
While I do not believe in LJ being the right man to take us forward, we will be playing a division above you again (how many years in a row is that now....now THAT is embarrassing for you).
Oh and your former best player will be scoring for us in the championship.
Bookmark that prediction....

Bristols fan base is the city of Bristol.
Fan base is not made up of a side of the city. I'm from Downend yet i support Bristol RFC and many others where I'm from do too.

For all the millions you wasted on players , you are now relying on a former Rovers player to keep you up. Good luck with that then.

There have been lots of calls for you to be blocked from posting on this forum, I've jumped straight in every time and said that you should be welcomed as it's always good to have an alternative point of view. However, all you seem to be able to do now is post opinion then when challenged ignore the questions. If all you have to offer is to try to stir things up and then not be able to back up any of your points then you probably ought to find somewhere else to do it. Come on, back up your assertion that Bristol Rovers were responsible for what happened to Bristol Rugby, or apologise for the accusation.
