Film of Coutts at training..... Also a picture of the back of a player on the clubs Twitter who looks remarkably like the back of McCormick saying guess who’s back / whose back? Same hair, body shape, tattoo sleeve on right arm… expect an announcement later I reckon…. Saw it on Facebook, but had the feeling it won't be just one player

Have lived outside Bristol now for 7years so getting to games ain't easy with no car and very small income. However I concur with 79, the forum need to sponsor one' maybe two games per season. Hoping to get myself back on my feet properly in the next month or three and would like to rejoin this group as I did so during its first two years with John the Stripe and others

Coutts contract hasn’t been confirmed since Joey said he had to talk it through with his wife. Gashead73 Rodman had another year according to Joey, so when did he opt out and leave?! Rodman hasn't left. I thought he'd left to join his first club in non league! I maybe wrong but I'm sure it was Rodman?

I believe the squad size next season is limited to 20, with players 20 years of age or under not included in the playing squad total, so by reckoning JB’s playing squad could look something like this : Belshaw Jaakkola (tbc) Ward (20 rule) Hoole Gibbons Connolly (20 rule) Anderton Kilgour Clarke Grant Jones (20 rule) Edwards (20 rule) Rossiter Finley Evans Coutts (tbc) Anderson Egan (20 rule) Heal (20 rule) Collins Loft Saunders Greenslade (20 rule) I’m assuming Westbrooke and Rodman have little or no chance of making the nominated playing squad, so by my reckoning that leaves around another four players over 20 that could be recruited, but then the salary cap comes into play (increase of £1m from last season?). Very much prepared to be put right on all this. Edit: and this list includes the requirement to have @ least 8 ‘home grown’ players included (I think!). Why's Coutts showing as (tbc) as clearly well past 20 and only signed a contract extension this summer? Not sure about Rodman if he's fully fit then he may have a place in the squad as the alternative is to buy up his contract or at least have pre-season to prove his worth. Rodman has gone

Very sad news just came through of fellow Gashead Alan Gregory who sadly passed away earlier today. I'm not sure he posted on here or under what name but for those of you who did know him' especially in the Burnham area I'm sure you'd join me in sending condolences to his loved ones.

No disrespect to League Two but League One this coming season is looking extremely tasty...... Playing some big guns ie Wednesday, Ipswich, Derby etc Looks a bit more appealing than Northampton or Rochdale or Harrogate! Yes, it does look a step up. It is appealing but we will need to be good enough to compete. Lots of players needed yet and I’m confident that JB will recruit them, but we’ll only know when we start to play. Fixtures have thrown up some fixtures early on that we will look to win and make a half-decent start. UTG! I would agree with that comment, JB didn't let us down last season so I believe we will be a decent outfit next season. Hoping for a few shock wins against the big guns.... Keep the Faith

Late 79, Aston Villa at Eastville aged 6 and so began my love affair with Rovers. Think it was Chelsea again at home in January 1980

I like the idea of clubs wearing the new kit on the last day of the previous season. Chelsea and Arsenal do it. We did it once, the first Avec kit home v Sunderland live on Sky under Ollie. Much rather see the kit out that early so fans can wear the shirt over spring and summer before the season starts, otherwise in winter you often cover it up under a coat and the only real use where it's visable is end of season! I thought that kit was played in on our last home game vs Man City circa 1999 or thereabouts

I'm no fan of the Home Shirt if this is what we go for..... The other two are pretty good

Looks like he won't sign I guess, shame tbh but no one player is bigger than the club

Give the man a chance, he promised promotion (we laughed) but he delivered so give JB some Respect. I don't give a sh** about his court or private life issues.. He has been magnificent for Rovers regardless of personal opinion

I always rated Telford' he just wasn't given a fair run out in the team. I still believe he would have eventually become a goal machine for us To be fair though, after he left us he played almost 90 games for 2 different sides and only managed 9 goals. Still has to prove himself in L1 Fair analysis, but I still think he had something in the locker even then if given a decent run. As you are aware' scoring breeds confidence
