They did the box for the Yeovil jpt game that I did. £30 incl full meal was a decent deal. Change of circumstances now and probably wouldn't do it but was a good deal at the time

Wiki suggests he's "invested" £20m, I doubt NH has invested more than a tenth of what at Rovers. Plus their owner, whilst he's had problems, clearly hasn't had Trash/Sainsbury's to deal with! No Barnet had Barnet Council to deal with who would not let them redevelop their ground, so they hopped over to the Borough of Harrow and took over a site that was going to be a football ground but was abandoned. What is sad is that they have fans who wont go to their new ground as it is too far. I'd say a 20 minute drive away!! I used to pass the Hive everyday on my way to and from work, it is a very good ground for a club of their size Barnet council refused a football ground due to parking and congestion etc but let saracens build the Allianz Stadium with next to no problems so they moved to the Hive.

We have 4 strikers in Easter, Taylor, Harrison and Bodin. If Bliss is out on loan getting game time and we don't have the services of 1 of the above he should be match fit to come back to. Good move all round.

I've got a few from different events and places over time. Building up on a Cork board in my kitchen at the moment. Got one at Wembley from the club wembley shop as well as one from the Wycombe away where we thought we were staying up. Not alone with that as im sure a few others have.

Made his debut in the same game as Ellis Harrison away at Southampton under Campbell and Thought he made it before he actually had. Had all the promises to become a big player but never did.

Hope it's not from the same source as on Facebook who claims we are signing him on a season long loan! That would be more realistic than him signing for us He was released by Fulham so season long loan would be impossible

Spoke to a Plymouth fan a while back About Ollie. Apparently they were about 4th and pushing automatic promotion to the prem when he asked the chairman for some funds to push them into the prem. Chairman basically said no I'm happy in the championship. Ollie disagreed which is when Leicester came in and offered him a bigger playing budget and dream of the prem. I believe he got Leicester relegated?

Didn't buy fifa 15 for the reason the gas weren't on it. Fifa 16 will be snapped up straight away now they are back in it! I have been buying it since Fifa 2000 on ps1!! i been playing it since the first version on the sega mega drive around 93/94, switched to PES in the ps2 days as it was miles ahead of fifa in terms of game play, xbox 360/ps3 days fifa took the crown back, even though i think fifa is the better game still i do own it on my xbox one but i dont rate PES or FIFA at the moment. I remember the indoor mode on the mega drive or ps1 in fifa 96/97ish. Have got fifa 14 but didn't buy 15 for obvious reasons. Will probably get 16 now we're back on it. They did pes as a free download on playstation plus a while back. Was a truly horrible game to play

Thanks for that Sevencider good to read again. Hearing what our barrister has said in the opening statements compared to theirs will be interesting to hear our closing statements as there will be a lot more points where they have deceived and broken the contract Sainsbury's end too.

" If there is a planning refusal at the end of the process, then the cut-off date occurs and we have a right to terminate the agreement." This is what I think it boils down to. The definition of when the application process ended. It should be simple but all of the appeals made by TRASH etc, and the delivery hours confused the issue. There was an initial refusal on delivery hours but then we successfully appealed. So, did the process end before or after our successful appeal? Depends how long between the "process ending" and termination given too. Think it's going to be compensation awarded which won't help up.

Sainsbury's tells judge they could have pulled out of contract with Rovers to buy Memorial StadiumBy The Bristol Post | Posted: May 20, 2015 A judge was told that Sainsbury's would have set an "awful trap" for Bristol Rovers if it had withdrawn a planning application for a new store at the Memorial Stadium. Mark Wonnacott QC argued that if the supermarket chain had pulled out of its bid to change Bristol City Council's restrictions on the proposed store's delivery hours, it would have been able to end its agreement with the club at that point. He added that as it was, Sainsbury's did not end the contract until after the council refused to alter the delivery times - which he said released them from the agreement. The club has previously argued that the supermarket chain should have withdrawn the application and tried again at a later date, when it became apparent the council would not alter the delivery hours - amid intense local pressure and while a judicial review by TRASHorfield was ongoing. The council eventually agreed to the hours originally asked for by Sainsbury's after the club took it upon itself to make its own application. Mr Wonnacott said: "We say that, if the application - which we agreed to make - had been withdrawn, that would have exhausted that appeal. "The effect of that appeal being exhausted would have been that the cut-off date had occurred, and we would have had a right to serve the termination notice (on the club). "That is why I said previously that withdrawing the application would have been an awful trap. "It would have been the most self-interested thing we could have done." Mr Wonnacott also said he had been made aware of a discussion in an online forum between Rovers' supporters who were following the case, in which one fan had asked: "When is a cut-off date not a cut-off date?"The barrister added: "That, in a nutshell, is our position. "If there is a planning refusal at the end of the process, then the cut-off date occurs and we have a right to terminate the agreement." Earlier, the court was told that Steve Gosling, a sound expert hired by Bristol Rovers, prepared a report offering suggestions to reduce noise from the proposed store following the council's refusal to change delivery times. Mr Wonnacott suggested there was 'little difference' between the measures in his report and those in Sainsbury's application - the latter of which he said had been approved by both Rovers and their planning consultants. The barrister said: "I am going to suggest to you that your measures were little more than a figleaf to give the council an excuse to allow an application it had previously refused." Mr Gosling replied: "No, that is not what happened." The hearing continues.

As rovers were able to then get the change in delivery hours and were offered the appeal by the council before basically previously admitting they wanted out and not bothering to appeal.

Do we have a proceedure in place for when to let go of balloons all at same time? Won't they all be full of air and not helium so if you "let go of them" they won't go anywhere. Was thinking more luke Ashton gate at the jpt and just get them bouncing about and a show of colour?

Got the front row in 235. It was empty last time because if anyone who had bought club wembley tickets were entitled to their seat for the game but none bothered to turn up. Now they have to apply for it which is why they can put them on general sale now.

Parking at a tube station near the m25/m4 and tubing it in. Nothing like the atmosphere and excitement stepping off the tube and walking down the steps to Wembley Way
