Had to pop to Kingswood yesterday morning to do a few errands to keep the Mrs happy and I came across Mark's Mobile Butchers! No idea how I've not discovered this before, absolutely cracking quality and prices. Had Steak last night, just tucking into some Sausages now and got a pork joint for today's roast. His shop is in Sedbury - it's excellent value.

What boils my water about Barton moaning about the pitch, is that he shook the hands of a few of the groundsmen as he walked over on Tuesday. It's embarrassing and unprofessional on his part to shake their hands and 90 minutes later bitch about the job they are doing.
My attitude towards him as become more positive over time [the promo helped], but he needs to knock the petty scapegoating on the head though. Really harks to the petulance I associate with him as a player.

Over 20 years ago at an Open Day,this was proposed and Geoff Dunford informed us that he intended to extend the 'Dribuild' the full length of the pitch and around behind the goal South Tent end. However later it was said that would be a waste of money as we were hoping to move to a new stadium soon.Over 20 years on and there are no obvious improvements other than the acclaimed hand driers!!!! Reminds me of when one of the fan-groups - perhaps the SC - suggested some of the panelling could be repainted and repaired and Geoff Dunford [RIP] said "no point spending money on the Mem, we'll either be in a new stadium somewhere else [Hallen?] or it will be demolished and rebuilt". I think that would have been in about 2002....

It's all relative.
Many moons ago - living up north - I used to listen to commentary of the likes of Oldham, Rochdale, Blackpool etc via BBC Radio Lancs, Mancs or Scouse when they played the Gas. It was all terrible by comparison - because all the best commentators were working on the top matches amongst their local premier league clubs. Often the commentators were clearly only at the ground a very short time before kick-off and apparently done little prep. I found the commentary very difficult to follow - much worse than Richard 'Ted' Hoskins, Ed Hadwin and Keith.
It's about the only bit of the BBCs output that I utilise - which is depressing when you think of the cost of the TVL.

Ironic, given they are a plastic counterfeit club.

Really pleased that Scott has re-signed. Been fantastic and scored some great goals.

They said all that last season "Nah, they won't do it" and look what happened When we got relegated out of the league they said we were gone for good and would be wound up inside 18 months. We came straight back and are now more financially secure than them They are absolutely obsessed.

Just looked at the Wycombe Forum - their posts are like an OTIB tribute-act. Sad.

Somewhere might be a problem, but as I've said before, neither City or Rovers have ever had a planning application turned down by BCC. True. Lyde Green would do us just fine, but that's GCC isn't it? It's South Glos, not GCC.

Cracking finishes. Reminds me of Cureton's or Will Hoskin's goals.
Belly amazing in first half.

Great result - the away following sounded superb via the radio.

Thought Marquis was quality the day we signed him.
Well done Marquis, what a fantastic player to have - he's looking to wrestle one of those forward starting berths for himself.
Come on GAS

Call me a cynic - and I apologise if someone has already said this on here - but my thinking about changing the crest is that they don't really have commercial control of the current crest [e.g. I can buy a sticker with the current crest from some decal maker on the internet with no problem and have done] and want to change it to ensure only licensed partners, merchandising, products and publications can use the official crest [and pay a fee where appropriate].
btw The third design in the email today looks like a cross between the transformers badge and a pirate - lets hope Mattel dont sue us for infringement...
