If I was JB today I would rest players as much as he can from the midweek game. That would mean wheelan coming in, Collins playing, maybe spence etc. Those subs proved theyre good enough. However, they were playing tired players. In terms of result, either a draw or Rovers will win. If I went to the bookies and asked to put a bet on today's game and asked to put £50 on the game finishing either as a draw or a Rovers win then I'm pretty sure that I'm Gunna win..😂

Wigan v Oxford called off.7 Covid positive tests for Oxford players.Hope none of our lads have it as that will mean no game for us today? Im suprised this hasn't been brought up more on here. If there is 7 or so cases in the Oxford camp then there could be a chance that it may have spread to our squad given we played 120 mins with them tuesday. I hope tests have been done before todays game and that its not spread.

Just as JB has got us together and we are playing well and winning games as well as moving up the table that his court dates are coming up and he could be sent to prison and go down leaving us back at square one!
Only at BRFC..

With JB's court case on Tuesday maybe kick off is brought forward because he has to be up early the following morning to face sentencing? That's probably the most stupid, senseless and pointless post that I've ever read on here. Childish.

On Taylor- It's sad. Our top goalscorer in my favourite time supporting the gas and he's loathed by so many. I'll be honest, I thought we should've backed off and tried to forget the city thing. But ear cupping and the a few really needlessly sly challenges over a couple of games- frankly he wants to be hated. He clearly has no respect for us. What a sh**! I hope for his sake he wins something at Oxford otherwise the only place he'll have achieved anything at- will be here and he's dead to us. His attitude- has turned me from someone from a non-boo'er to MT hater. Tbf, he shouldn't have any respect for us. He knew what he was doing in going to City and when he did, they had to put police outside his house for his own safety. If I was Taylor, I wouldn't have any respect for Rovers fans - but no need to worry, it's a mutual feeling. As a player he really could have gone onto great things, but he sold himself out sit sit on the bench when he wasn't ready and only ended up earning less than he was when he was with us in L1 to begin with - although he made a quick buck whilst at City. He can cup his ears all he wants and act big on the pitch while at home, he doesn't have the balls to do that at the Mem. His return to Rovers was absolutely hilarious, I don't think I've seen a player so rattled by a crowd before Does anyone have a video of him from that day that was doing the rounds when he was taken off then walked into the west stand..😂

One thing I will say is this team and match squad, dishevelled and dysfunctional because of injuries and illnesses, just doesn't give up! It doesn't know when it's beat!! The spirit at some away matches is of something reminiscent of what it's like to be a GasHead..... strength in adversity. We had no right getting a result (bearing in mind how many times our bar and post has been assaulted), yet we get a draw out of nothing....much in part because of the right substitution at the right time....and credit to JAB and players for grinding out a very decent result. Credit to everyone whom travelled....I heard you singing at the end and we'll done for another excellent support. A good day to be a GasHead.....all without recognised strikers! ? I agree. Funny thing is in a few games and a couple of wins time we could be in or around the playoffs and people will be saying JB is doing a decent job given the mess we were in.He is slowly turning it around and the fight this side shows reminds me of DC's sides and PT promotion side of 2007. Having that and a decent squad is a base from an attack at promotion.

It's not really about owning a stadium it's more about owning the Eastville site, with an Ikea and Tesco etc that site would probably be worth £100m+ today if it was sold for development, that would be sufficient to buy another site and then build a new stadium and be debt free with no need to lease or rent a stadium. Although we managed to run up massive debts after buying the Mem for a pittance, in today's money. As far as leasing being cheaper than a loan, surely the lease as to meet the interest costs of the loan or the investors would suffer annual losses. Is it really becoming inceasingly common to lease or rent a stadium, apart from the dodgy looking deals where the owners sell the grounds to their own companies, like Sheff W and Birmingham City, how many league football clubs are leasing/renting stadiums from third party investors? I can't think of one other than Coventry City who hrdly did it out of choice? Swindon? Swansea?

Maybe our master plan is to wait to this age hits it's limits of new stadium creations and technology and we build the last new ground of this age,we will then be more advanced than any club in the UK and have the best ground in the UK and be 20 years ahead of all the rest...lol Nah,seriously...many of the newer stadiums are now getting dated and in need of improvements. Scunthorpes, old Trafford, Huddersfields, I hear something about Bolton or readings I can't recall which one, are now classed old stadiums even tho all are 34 million years ahead of the Mem. If only we could have kept Eastville.I wonder where we would have been today. I have no doubt if we didn't sell the ground may moons ago then we would have a good arena and getting 15k - 20k per game. We never owned Eastville, it was the dog tracks stadium, they sold up we had to move. Are you sure, I thought we sold if off to the dog company and later they sold it off to IKEA..

Havent posted on this thread mainly because I've seen so many false dawns that I'm firmly in the 'believe it when I'm sat in it' camp. As you correctly say we are already 20 years behind so whilst IF this is true I'd welcome the news my worry is by the time it's actually built how much further behind will we be.

I would be sad to no longer experience the terraces and also being at the top of Gloucester Road, so I would miss some elements of the Mem. However it is only recognisable these days sadly due to it being so ramshackle and outdated. It does have some character in that sense, but we're now at least 20 years behind the times there.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Barton leaked stadium news if there was any before the club put out an official statement. The bloke struggles to keep a secret. Based on what? Your talking complete bollocks. Name 27 secrets JB has not been able to keep.

Time is running out for Mansell and failure to secure a positive result at home to Farsley Celtic in their next match on November 13 could spell the end of his temporary tenure, according to this article. That's so sad that he has had 5/6 games and he is under pressure already.If a manager JB included, takes over mid season it normally means unless a manager leaves a club for a better job or for another reaaon like ( GC did with us then it's because the team is sh**. How can LM be under pressure after such little time is madness.. Gloucester City must mean business by getting into the national league and then the L2..

I very much doubt that. Mr Barton is more intelligent and has a better understanding of the use of the correct English then many of those that choose to knock him, and would rather just brand him as a braindead thug due to that person's own personal view's. JB never used the word in the actual context that it mean's, but he used it in the loose term and everyone of his knockers, and the rest of the BBC watchers/ PC brigade jumped on him for it. Noun's and peoples intent are a powerful things. Who said he was intelligent? Barton, that's who. If he really is as intelligent as he says he is he hides it well! Claiming to read philosophers books doesn't mean you are intelligent (I expect it was a Nietzsche colouring book he read!!). What a basic response. Silly, and not really needed. It just brings you down a level in order for a debate. I never said he was intelligent. Nither have I heard him say those words about himself either. I just said he was more intelligent than most on here that knock him due to there clueless, and stupid attacks about him, and the intellect that he has shown before he was our manager.

Ice That makes no sense, it's an equivalent to blind faith. How many on here have been asked to speak at Cambridge union..? Or been on Question time? There is substance to the fact that JB know's how to the correct use of English.

Then Purdown, you are insulting education. Many, all of us perhaps, learn as we get older. That doesn't make us a "victim" He clearly has learned nothing, understands even less. You cannot ignore his choice of language, you cannot ignore his professional performance. It's a matter of public record. Why would his professional performance ( on the pitch ) be judged against his use of language off it? If that's the case, then why's wasn't Holloway pulled up for calling performance by his club ( can't remember if it was when his was in charge of QPR, Palace or Blackpool in the prem) like going out to a club and pulling a 5am clock ugly bird..

A & THE spring to mind - you know as well as I do he wasn’t using that word with The Holocaust in mind . you are totally intransigent with everything relating to JB. which of course is your right . I'm just willing to give him a chance . 💙Utg You are right, I do believe that he didn't use that word with an ACTUAL Holocaust in mind. I do believe however he had no idea of the true meaning of the word. Like so many words and phrases he uses. Such a trait, using such without understanding and context, is typical of a fraud. The professional results of his chosen trade underpin this opinion. And it is that, an opinion. I very much doubt that. Mr Barton is more intelligent and has a better understanding of the use of the correct English then many of those that choose to knock him, and would rather just brand him as a braindead thug due to that person's own personal view's.
