I mean, in a few billion years this section of the Milky Way is going to collide with the Andromeda galaxy and we'll all be torn to pieces by unimaginable gravitational forces anyway. I disagree. Both the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies, are almost entirely empty space. The Andromedan stars, their solar winds, and their associated planets and gravitational realms flying through the Milky Way will almost certainly all miss our whole solar system by a country mile, by which I mean the whole solar system, way past the Kuiper Belt and even Heliopause, beyond which stars' gravitational forces affect us not at at all. It will be no more of a problem than the Millennium Bug. Maybe prettier. Fancy a wager? Hypothesis

Lets agree to disagree,,dc will leave soon imo Maybe he will, and then maybe you can say I told you so But the season has only just finished and a couple of people are posting negatives and concerns. Maybe there are some and I am ot saying they shouldnt be discussed, but the way and timing of the posting makes me feel some havent enjoyed anything this year. Its your right to post your thoughts, but its awfully depressing to read it so soon after the season and the thought of reading it every day.... He'll probably go at some stage. In the meantime, why not enjoy him being here rather than getting the hump about an unknown future. Who knows, with Wael's FIFAa connections, we might get someone even better. If he goes to a 'better job', good luck to him: he'll have deserved it and we'll have benefited. If he goes to an equivalent job, we might have grounds to think something's sub-optimal. Til then.....

Even at this stage I'd wager that Clarke is more likely to be sacked when our rate of improvement drops off rather than anything else.
If he does resign in order to move on to bigger or better things, then he'll be the first Rovers manager to do so in more than 25 years, and he should go with all of our best wishes. It would be something to celebrate, in a way.
If he moves sideways, then it'll presumably be money talking and that'd be OK too. He'll have earned it.

But I am hopeful of his retention anyway. Clubs often look for new managers having sacked an incumbent in the hope of avoiding relegation. DC did not avoid relegation for us. He's not the Allardyce/Pulis/Redknapp go-to-guy clubs would recruit having sacked someone else to avoid relegation. Quite the contrary; DC looks like a promotion specialist. Someone to take an under-performing club from mediocrity to the next level. There are nowhere near as many such vacancies. Most vacancies arise from sacking managers otherwise heading for relegation. Few arise from an insufficiently ambitious manager getting his P45. Let's hope Wenger remains Arsenal manager.

Well me old mould eating mucker, we have no idea if we will be dragged screaming into a black hole, or crushed under the massive gravitational weight of a red giant, so I phoned the vicar for words of comfort, he says the whole video is a load of old buzzards and the entire universe is only 6000 years old, and we should take no heed for the morrow anyway as, as long as we behave we'll get raptured, or something, but that doesn't work for 'beasts of the field', sorry about that

However, the sun is getting hotter over time. In around 500 million years time the Earth will be too warm to support advanced multi-cellular life. If our future descendants (assuming they still exist), want to contemplate the approaching Andromeda Galaxy, or indeed whether we will ever move to UWE, they will have to do it from a different planet.

Some clubs have simply been driven to better things by a wealthy owner,,,,man city,chelsea,bournemouth,forest green rovers,bristol manor farm,peterborough utd,eastleigh,fleetwood,wigan and of course lets not forget bristol city. Do you really want to leave the club dependant on a benefactor, or would you rather have a self sustaining model? To address your examples; Chelsea and Bournemouth, show me the source of the money and I'll give you an answer. 1982 Ltd, the points-per-pound return is dreadful, Lansdown has thrown enough money at it to build a small hospital, and they just about avoided relegation to the same division as us, again. Wigan, we'll be playing them next year. FGR, let's see what happens there when they have to manage with wage restrictions. The owner is prepared to gamble on a new stadium and hope that people come to watch a League team, so far he's spending every year but has no new stadium and no League football. See what's happened there, it's a big clue, spending does not guarantee success. Peterborough, can't remember them exactly setting the football world on fire recently. Man City, use a stadium owned by the local council, and still the owner has spent well over a billion pounds, utter madness. What do you think happens if the owner walks away? Fleetwood are punching above their weight, but so have many other clubs without the owner losing a fortune, it's not the only way. Eastleigh, seriously? On the other hand, Solihull Moors, haven't got two pennies to rub together, average crowds around the 1000 mark, but are properly run, and oh look, are competing with FGR and finished the season 2 points behind Eastleigh. I believe, unless I've got it completely wrong, they are being run ( or were under Marcus Bignot) under the proposed RAFC that was turned down by our club in that awful period of blood letting

Few arise from an insufficiently ambitious manager getting his P45. Let's hope Wenger remains Arsenal manager. His only weakness, as I see it, is that being new to football league management, he just hasn't the contacts that an older and more experienced man would have BUT I'd rather that and have the manager that is the still relatively unknown entity, who can dig out a diamond in the rough and even a player who has underperformed and man manage him into a better and worthy FL player. I really don't understand the talk of him leaving, he's been pretty open about his loyalty and IF he did go in this season then it would more than likely be down to the talk on twofacedbook and utter nonsense that some are just making up. Presumption and assumption never do any good but I understand it's a forum and that's what people do. My own opinion is that this coming season will be the pivotal one and for many reasons and with the hope of new stadia, the training facility and new and hopefully decent players coming in. DC will have his first real shot at brining in his own players and not keeping an ex owners promise of retaining the entire squad. There is much to be excited about and I'd like to think others would feel the same way. As it is, it seems that many feel a sense of anticlimax as they thought we would go up again. Personally I am relieved we didn't as I believe it would have been a PR disaster to see us getting beaten more often and the momentum we have steadily built up would be eroded as those who have started to return to games think oh no, same old rovers, I start to come and tney start losing again. Fact is that people love to win and it brings the feelgood factor. I for one am looking forward to next season, bid willing. I look forward to the stories on new players and how we will progress. Come on guys. Get your positive head on and see this as our neighbours do, make no bones about it they really are bricking it and had to buy up old snakey just to derail us. That should be enough to give you cheer in itself and all on a budget of 3 shilling a six pence

Not sure they spend much time considering the entropic heat death of the universe at the local mill pond. An atom is only 0.000000000004% matter, the rest is empty space. So by the web footed one's logic, Browner's right boot should have passed straight through the ball and Jim wouldn't have needed to get his knickers in a twist over an open top bus ride that never happened. In fact, we should all still be stood there waiting whilst Linesey tries to kick the ball off of the centre spot at the start of the Daggers game.

Our fowl friend is relying on the fact that gravity is by far the weakest of the four fundamental forces. The two galaxies can therefore merge with a reasonable prospect of the sun and its planets remaining gravitationally bound and relatively unaffected. The far stronger nuclear and electromagnetic forces, bind atoms together giving the appearance of solidity despite their consisting of mostly empty space. None of this of course explains how I was mysteriously transported to a different part of the east terrace, shortly after Browner scored.

Going back to Browner's goal, are you saying it was done with magnets?

I might accept my unexpected movement was down to thousands of over excited gasheads, but Browner's goal - with his wrong foot, two minutes into stoppage time, while Accrington were failing to score at home for the first time all season, was clearly a miracle.

The nuclear physics here is beneath you, baby G; not good enough. The subatomic interactions of protons, neutrons, and electrons within the superatomic interactions of Browner and synthetic leather are strong. The galactic interactions have no such effect. The vacuum of the interstellar medium is incomparable with subatomic 'space'. And you know this, my dear old thing. I will not be baited.

Anyway, if you can guarantee no ill effects from the Andromeda galaxy arriving, no Borg or anything horrible like that, then I'll make the effort to paint the front gate and straighten up that loose roof slate, otherwise it would all seem a bit futile.
