How do you know all this was the case? If it was why did it take Wael so long to walk away from a deal which was so bad for the club? Who knows, perhaps it was the other way around and Wael wanted more out of the deal than the UWE were prepared to give, as it's odd the land is still not developed and so not generating a penny for the UWE. It was in the plans and the uni said they would get to use the car park on non match days. They spoke about how they needed the parking. They said they had naming rights. The jogging track, lecture hall, uni bar, uni gym etc were all in the plans. Was all that for us or is uwe?? Maybe Wael thought they would compromise on the plans. Think many have selective memory, or didn't bother looking at the plans, as they were desperate for a stadium. But weren't we going to have the longest bar in the world or something like that? Surely a win for students and football fans alike. Oh, what could have been...

Hazel and Ian are lovely people, used to see them a lot at away games and then when I moved to London for a year at the London Gas meet ups. The Hackney Gas flag still seems to turn up all over the world for the cricket! The fanzine was also excellent back in the day.

Yeah that's what I had in mind but can you please make 'The Pirates' txt quite a bit bigger? Larger font for "The Pirates". playtowin coloured headscarf View AttachmentThat design ticks a lot of boxes I reckon. If we are going to be forced into a change by the club then this would be a great option. Send it to the club before they do something stupid FFS!

Am I alone when think the current badge isn’t that great? Your not alone, always thought the current pirate looks like a pantomime character. Oh no he doesn't...

Isn't the first one just Sheffield United? So that can get thrown out straight away. The third one can also be binned. The second one might be feasible with some work - at a minimum so it doesn't look like the skull is eating the swords.
But none better than the current design IMHO.

I dunno, but I'm starting to get the impression that Joey thinks this competition is a nonsense. Not sure why.

Have the woke brigade infiltrated the boardroom. Could the pirate be linked to slave trade or is the colour of the pirate wrong. Maybe multi coloured should suit the times Why are your lot so keen to admit you're racist homophobes? It's so weird, if I had some really unpleasant, outdated views, I wouldn't be shouting about them Well if there really is a politically correct reason to change the crest then it would be a much braver move to just come out and say it and face the music rather than hiding behind some kind of sham consultation which is what this smells like.

Onya Joey. I love the man's self-belief, must be infectious around the club. Ultimately though if you live by the sword you die by the sword - but I'm sure he of all people knows that!

Realistically nothing bad is likely to happen. Steve Letdown has always had their best interests at heart. The fact he's cocked it up a bit on the promotion side of the ledger over the years has been funny for us but is ultimately irrelevant because he has enough money to prevent any significant damage being done to the club. I'm sure if he does get out he'll sell to a decent buyer. The difficult bit will be offloading it. He's created a tangled web of sports clubs which is fine as his own personal Bristolian sports crusade but it's not that attractive to a prospective football club buyer I wouldn't have thought. He might be stuck with them for a while.

A great listen as usual, thanks guys. I had a five hour drive and this made the first hour a total joy! Being overseas I couldn't be at the game so hearing your first hand accounts of the atmosphere and the feelings as the game progressed and in the aftermath were awesome. I felt like I could literally smell the beer and feel your hangovers too mind! Keep up the great work.

Ended up in a hotel lobby, th night is young an th Queens Eleven are in a Euro Final! Glasgow is blue n white 😃 Jes th start troops, next up Scunny an that last promotion place, I won’t stop drinkin til we’re up. I GOT A FEELING 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 On ma way home What a cup run for Rangers. Although I follow Dundee I've always had a soft spot for Rangers. Went to Ibrox a few times when I was living up in Scotland and it's a great old stadium. The atmosphere vs Kilmarnock isn't quite up there with Leipzig mind you but it was still an intimidating venue and it would have been absolutely rocking for the European games. Taking down Leipzig without Morelos and Roofe up front is some result and with the exception of a couple of the away fixtures Rangers have played brilliant football all through the latter stages of the comp. Absolutely sensational, hope they go on to win it. From the bottom of the Scottish pile to European cup winners would be an amazing turnaround. Back to the gas and can't wait for this one. Have been watching from afar all season - what a rollercoaster. Not confident that Northampton will drop points but hopefully we can do the business early and put the pressure on them. Come on you blue boys, bring it home! UTG

Great interview boys, really enjoyed listening to that. Belly comes across as a real leader and got to be a career for him in coaching or management after he finishes playing you'd have thought. Good stuff.
