Have to agree with you on this one Nick.
For the record, I think the Ashtonites claim John Cleese as one of their own.

In fairness to the Bristol Post, are these blogs actually anything to do with them from an editorial perspective, seems more a case of getting people to write stuff on their websites in order to drive traffic that results in advertising revenue. Not sure if the bloggers get paid, perhaps "buckrippers" can tell us how it works, does he get a payment for it or is it just a hobby ?

I think Nick has already said that he receives no payment for the blog. I don't agree with all he says, but it is a useful feature nonetheless. |

It's like a busman's holiday for me. I tend to write it before I go off to my 'day' job, sub-editing on a national newspaper. James McNamara threw out an invitation for any Rovers fan to write something for the Post website, and as I had written a blog on Rovers before for my own amusement I decided to share it with a larger audience. Also, I can write my own opinions. If I was the Bristol Post reporter I would have to remain totally balanced and possibly have to rein them in. |

The BOD do not want Wycombes place in the league, they want the league to face up to the fact that they, the league missed this when going over Wycombes take over. Why Mr Rippers only see's the bad in the board is a slight worry ? Why not INVESTIGATE a little and see why the BOD feel this has not been looked into properly, maybe the league are just trying to hide the fact that they messed this up ?

They turned down our complaint about 3rd party ownership and gave a minor rap on the knuckles to Wycombe over a relatively trivial breach of protocol. Even if Rovers do think there is more of a case to answer, the ruling body have said no. Unless there is further new evidence, Rovers risk Widdleing off the FL and making our club look even more foolish. Everyone from the Chairman down must now realise that there can be no positive outcome for Rovers in this matter. We must let it drop! [EDIT - I didn't know there was such a word as widdleing!] |

Thats right Curly, let the League/ FA get away with messing it up. They missed it, they now say it was minor ( what else could they say ) The know darn fine they messed up, if the BOD want to go for them, good on them ! P.S widdleing looks wrong but as you say.....it's right !

They played in kit similar to the show. Michael Palin was president or something. They're still going by the looks of it. bufcsydney.com/ |

He also mentioned his love for that lot many years ago when he did a one off nature trail programme, I think he was in the Amazon jungle or such like watching Orangutans (don't quote me though), one thing that did irk was when he was admiring a special view and he muttered something along the lines of I cant think of a better place to be right now, except Aston Gate watching my beloved c1ty, went off the bloke in an instant, Fawlty Towers reruns on Gold don't get a sniff these days in the house. |

the bags must be a Clifton college lad....
I played cricket against that lot for portway school (about 1988), they all had cricket whites on and we were all in t-shirts, shorts and trainers and we smashed them by 9 wickets....
I wonder why they wouldn't play us at football....
