And there you have it. For the second day in a row, the Bristol Rovers Club Historian endorses one Bristol Rovers supporter physically assaulting another Bristol Rovers supporter. What a delightful chap. A very bad couple of weeks for Mike. It's all quite sad to read and why bring someone else into it who has never been one to go slapping people for words on a forum. I find it hard to read to be honest. It's like having your very own poster boy for a mid life crisis Been two brilliant weeks for me. Thanks for asking. I know you are 54 and have a mid life problem but please lighten up...Don't take everything. I say so seriously... It is banter nothing more nothing less That's what David Moyes said anyway. Enjoy your evening Peace and love

Which of the many schemes was that RAFC. You knew that full well though, I'd imagine. I never said anything about many schemes so maybe you got your wires crossed. Geoff did what kept Geoff in the hot seat and he still cannot let go now, given his BS about a book & joining in on Twitter & probably the single most vile page I've come across of twofacedbook I would have thought that a man who has faced cancer and may even still be facing it ? May want to spend some quality time with his loved ones and doing things he has not yet done but each to their own. That he chooses to involve himself in the petty nonsense is beyond me. Jaysus, I am losing interest in the ongoing saga that is Rovers as it is. One could say I am close to indifferent if honest. He has the hotel, restaurant , charities etc and his bus BUT he still seems either unable or incapable to step out of the light that once was. Sorry but I don't get it. I've tried to see it from varying perspectives but none of it makes any sense What he said was his opinion which he is perfectly entitled to.after all this country prides itself on free speech

GD seems to be saying "what's wrong with leasehold" but I thought our problems since WW2 were because we didn't own a ground. It might work for supermarkets & similar but surely sports clubs need security of tenure. correct - which we have at the moment

Daddies boy proposed, Stoke Gifford: utter bulls**t; failed. Severnside; utter bollocks and bulls**t; failed. What right does this comedian have to criticise the current owners??. Sour grapes from the biggest failure in Rovers history where building grounds is concerned, probably miffed about someone else controlling his plaything.

Thank god that utter failure was around in 1986 when flook.bradshaway and Palmer were going to close the club down and then had the great idea to get a reluctant father involved Just thank your lucky star's they did because without them you wouldn't have a club

I don't know what some of you have against Geoff Dunford. Without him and his father we would have gone out of business when we were chucked out of Eastville, and Geoff Dunford is the reason we now own the Mem. So from nothing to a 10 million asset. Better than ANY other chairman in that respect. Either some of you are too young to remember that or you are just ungrateful so and so's. I think since Wael showed up some people have caught the "big club" syndome Also a petty & vindictive individual who put pay to the only scheme that could have seen us miles ahead of where we are. A man who threatened court if you dared to question or disagree and a megalomaniac who could NEVER say sorry. Of course I remember the ill conceived agenda for changexample that never stood a chance of success

Still, you know best. Exactly. And the same broad blueprint has got Sollihull Moors playing in the same division that Rovers were in just over 2 seasons ago, and surviving there on crowds in the 100s.

Probably missed this but what have UWE said about our club pulling out of the plans?Would be nice to hear their version? info.uwe.ac.uk/news/uwenews/news.aspx?id=3670UWE Statement - Issue date: 03 August 2017 Steve West, Vice-Chancellor at UWE Bristol, said: "UWE Bristol has not given up on this hugely important project. We have been and remain committed to delivering a new stadium and were disappointed to hear from Dwane Sports that they wish to bring negotiations over the proposed stadium at UWE Bristol to a close. "We have always wanted the stadium project as part of our vision for the University and wider Bristol community masterplan for the Frenchay Campus. We still believe it would bring great benefits to the University, local community and the regional economy. "We have worked diligently and patiently with the new owners of the club and although we have been disappointed by the slow pace of negotiations, we are still willing and open to continue negotiations. This has been an initiative the University has been working on for over eight years and we still believe is deliverable. Planning consent does not expire until January 2018 and the door remains open for a deal to be struck and the University will continue to work on this project."

Still, you know best. Precisely why a lot of people didn't read it because if they disagreed they would get the same sort of replies that I had and still get,i am as entitled to my opinion as you are,rightly or wrongly I thought it was ill conceived in its wording and timing,and as far as I am aware we live in a society where we are allowed to express our feelings and disagree with others if we feel they are wrong,but apparently this does not happen to be true on club forii

What if Lansdown financed the new UWE Stadium and then Rovers could become tenants along with Bristol Rugby on a long term lease ?
Also as a gesture of good will Steve could loan us back Matty Taylor as he seems surplus to requirements at the table topping Club at the moment.

Who's saying you have no right to free speech? You called it ill conceived and I disagreed. Just the sort of freedom that Harry John McClean fought for, bless his boots.

I was at Brisbane Road on Tuesday. Solihull Moors lost 3-1 and were crap! Doesn't invalidate the point you are making though.

So by extension if we had followed that blueprint Mike turn would still be in charge no all qadi family and we would still be in the conference part time on crowds approaching the 4000 we got at twerton

You're just saying whatever suits your point. As usual. We wouldn't have been relegated to the conference if not for Higgs' abysmal decision making. But you keep cheerleading
