a bit like Prime Ministers Question Time, all questions are submitted in advance giving enough time to dream up a plausible reply, mind you if there's any more joke answers like the 70 minutes to relegation classic we'll be in for some great talking points. I look forward to not receiving my e.mail!!!

We knew we needed 10 new signings & that was before there was any news of players leaving the club. We've signed 2 so far, DC is not stupid he will know that another 6 new players are needed at the very minimum. You can't let go 12 players plus O'Toole and replace them with 4-6 new players Clarke hopes to have brought in a few more new faces by the start of pre-season (10 days time). He anticipated tabling a bid for an unnamed winger by he end of this week and has revealed plans to run the rule over "eight or nine" trialists during pre-season. Clarke said: "I'd like to get another two or three in before the start of the season and I'm after wide players and creative midfielders. There may be an offer going out later in the week for a wide player, but we will have to wait and see." According to oxongas "We will have a squad of 18-19 when training commences according to Darrell but Darrell wants 21-22 with loan signings. Only 5 subs rather than 7 in FL" A squad of 21 when the season starts is fine as long as we dont suffer a nightmare pre-season like last year with Paterson and Brog out long term,Harrold also crocked,Kenneth and Gill unfit from the previous season and Brunt also never remotely fit. A similar scenario this season would spell absolute disaster!

The business of when Ward was relieved of his duties/made up his mind to go/was told to go (delete as applicable) is just about the biggest cock and bull story ever to come out of BRFC in all the years that I've been following them. Higgs and co have had six weeks to dream up a reason and this is the best they can do? I'd have more respect for the board if they just came out and said that what they did last March was for the best but sadly it didnt work out. Darryl Clarke has admitted that in hindsight maybe he made too many changes too quickly,yes he probably did but at least he has the balls to admit his mistakes, we all make mistakes,some! though will try and play the blame game,I think we all know who they are! And someone confesses to never having contemplating relegation until Mansfield scored? well I walked home soaking wet after the dreadful Southend game worried sick that I was witnessing another relegation season. If the men at the top table think we've swallowed that then they are on a different planet!

Promotion out of a division infested with part time clubs is an absolute minimum requirement. Every game should be like Mike Tyson Vs Ray Charles. L2 is unacceptable based on the tools at the disposal of the clowns running the show. Should we carry Higgs shoulder high around the bounds of Horfield if he can put together a team that beats Manor Farm Under 11s Girls? UWE, no problems here or Higgs would be telling us, so it will be built, but no cause for back slapping untill we know who owns what and how the stadium will actually benefit the club. Jaded and cynical, you bet, and last night was a new all time low. They had an opportunity to build bridges, all they have done is make people even angrier and created an even larger void between themselves and their customers. As a matter of interest how many teams in the Conference are part-time?

Yes,medical today according to 5 Live this morning and they're still quoting £4mil but no mention of the two make-weight players that are going to Saints as part of the deal.
