Hope everyone enjoys their new year's eve celebrations and after our new manager has got the players performing well it is hopefully a brighter 2024.
Sell pout crowds a new south stand and maybe a new striker and we certainly need to hang onto Thomas Evans & Collins.
Reflect back on your past 12 months and pray for the end of the wars in the Ukraine and Gaza.

2023 has been a torrid year for me, I'm glad to see the back of it. I hope 2024 is as good as it can be for all of us and add to that a bit of on-field success for The Gas. A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

Well the demise of the South Tent was a sublime and iconic moment for me.Not actually got the replacement over the line yet but 'Hey it does put us up a few rungs'. Will never forget 'Dutch Gas' paying their first ever visit and one of them asking 'Why do you have stands at your Training Ground?'

That's hilarious. However grateful I am for the club's salvation at Twerton Park and return to Bristol via The Memorial Ground, I was always and remain embarrassed by 'The Memorial Stadium'. The Memorial Ground is the only home ground at which I ever saw Rovers, and I love it in the way a madman loves his madness. But as the Memorial Gates happily attest, it was always and remains 'The Memorial Ground'. And a football pitch surrounded by seperate stands, tents, portacabins, traffic cones, and portaloos (one shamefully labelled 'Santa's Grotto') is very much a ground, not a stadium. I'm sure whoever comissioned the erection of the poorer blue metal car park gates bearing the rebranded name of 'The Memorial Stadium' had every intention of building a stadium, but they were unable to do so, and a ground it always will remain.
Happy new year, Gas.

Officially the warmest day of the year so the Wycombe Health and Safety man has no chance

Officially the warmest day of the year so the Wycombe Health and Safety man has no chance And also the coldest and wettest. If we go 2-0 up we know what happens next...
