I see that we’ve missed out on Bellingham. No ambition! 😂

Work commitments took me to St. Philip’s Marsh today and I used the opportunity to drive along Albert Road past the FM. It’s obviously been a warm day and I couldn’t help noticing that there was a strong aroma emanating from the waste processing companies that border the site to the south and to the west. Now. I’m all for nostalgia but the smell of gas might be taking it a bit too far. Does anyone know if those businesses have also been in talks about relocating or is it literally just the FM?

… and the needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before ….. Please hurry up august Del Amitri, great album Useless fact: The bits in the video where they are sitting on the stairs in front of a blind rose window was filmed in the old Knee Brothers’ storage facility which is now the Clifton Arcade just off Boyce’s Avenue.

Can you imagine the response if we went back to red numbers? We had them when I first started watching Rovers in the late 70s and they looked great. Probably have some melters tearing up their season tickets now lol As much as I hate to admit it, red numbers looked spot on with the carrier bag kit especially. If we want quartered both sides it’s really the only option. Unless we return to the black name sets outlined in gold (2010/11 season) How about “hot pink!” 😉…or hi vis orange?

Can we have 3 friendlies and take those games for the ban. Ivan Toney gets banned for 8 months with immediate effect so a bit of that will be during the close season. I see they also referenced JB’s betting ban in the Toney scandal for balance! Once you have a reputation… www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65626690

At the Ground and Police presence already is massively OTT.- unless of course some Royal dignatory is at the game. Looking forward to this one - fancy a hard fought 1-1 …and tonight’s lottery numbers?

Will we have to change our nickname from the Pirates to the Marsh Arabs? 🤔

David Bright reply on Twitter re the plans over the weekend… “….at this stage the plans we are working from aren’t ready to be shared, we have another meeting to go through the layout and the finer details. As soon as we have something, we’ll be sure to share.” Do we do finer details? ”God is in the details”, or so said architect Ludwig Miss van der Rohe and with which I’m sure you agree unless you are actually Richard Dawkins.

If we had Marcus Stewart now he would be taken by one of the big clubs for their academy, before he made the first team most likely. Any youngsters as good as Stewart would never be with us in the first place nowadays. City will continue to sweep up all the best young local talent and we take what is left. The level our youngsters get loaned out to and the fact that none ever come back to haunt us after leaving tells its own story. …and Southampton’s scouting network in our area is probably ahead of City given that they are a Prem side (but not for much longer).

Great effort, but it doesn't really look like The Mem? You didn’t recognise it as it’s a proposal for the redeveloped Mem without the tents…and the East and West stands by the look of it!

I remember being given a pack of two Subbuteo crouching goalkeepers and they were rubbish compared to the diving ones. No positional sense and made no effort to go for shots in the top corner.

I didn’t get the bit about his TikTok channel viewers being a mixture of footy fans and railway enthusiasts, unless it means you have to be dysfunctional to follow the Gas. 🤔 I guess that puts me in the centre of his Venn diagram!

This just popped up on my YouTube feed and I thought that others might like to watch. Further recognition for Caz & Lucy and big respect for choosing blue over red. I can relate to that situation but you know deep down inside it’s the right decision. UTG

I know that injuries have played a part in our recent mini-slump and that was always a possibility with the high stakes, high risk strategy prosecuted by the manager, however the fallout from the way the existing players were treated during the transfer window smacks of a lack of understanding of human nature and our current position in the league table is therefore partially self inflicted. That is why, at present, I feel a slight tinge of disappointment that this season will probably not realise a loftier position (no pun intended) although I will be far from unhappy with securing our league one status by the end of the campaign.

Just saw this article on the Beeb website about another loan for the lad and wondered what you thought of his chances of eventually making it into the first team? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64725333
