I was told it had legs... j It did have legs. Having legs doesn't mean it is wholly right. It means there is something going on which there was, as now confirmed. no legs whatsoever, son.

Terrapins haven't got legs? They've actually got four legs but what I still don't understand is why holtby was stood next to one in the car park on Saturday. Interesting times at Rovers are these.

What the hell is that last sentence?
"He, like all of us the Club is now looking forward to moving forward with these exciting projects in mind, to further the Clubs amenities and facilities."
If anyone can parse that syntactical car crash let me know.

"Ian is a devoted Rovers Club man and certainly after 18 years of loyal service, someone that is not, as some might have perceived with his appointment in a new role, a loyal member of our team, that we would wish to discard." What does that even mean?

As far as I am concerned that's well and truly put to bed the rumours of the last couple of weeks. Spoke to Ian yesterday on my way into the ground at the back of the west stand, was his usual friendly self and definitely not looking down as has been reported on here. It would seem whatever the club says or does not say, is not enough for some on here.

Whats that saying about eggs and omelettes? What is pretty obvious to I think most of us is a lot has to change in and around our beloved club for us to move forward. What matters is it is done with sensitivity to those of us (i include myself) who are pretty comfortable with some of the more "established" aspects of the club and its people. I don't think this issue has been handled in that way, so hopefully the club will learn from it. And FFS can they please employ a decent PR / comms person next? Might help avoid the need for badly worded statements being hurried out at odd times of the day after the horse has bolted

Might help avoid the need for badly worded statements being hurried out at odd times of the day after the horse has bolted How do we know it was handled badly?? The decision was clearly made weeks ago and was communicated to the Stadium manager. The only reason they have even had to release a statement was because people were posting bollocks on social media.

What does that even mean? We need a proof reader. The sh1te that makes it into the public domain from our "news" pages is embarrassing.

Albeit not as dramatic as it seemed admittedly.

Might as well share the rumours I've heard that it was holtby who tipped off Chris Browne about the UWE collapse. As any good rumour is about 8th hand and probably bullsh1t but is this why people have a conspiracy theory about his new role and on the way out? I guess that explains why we appear to have rushed out and appointed a CM post the UWE announcement, I did wonder what prompted the £K's spent on that appointment!!

I'm confused.The farcebook campaign to boycott hospitality was driven by Ian Holtbys mates no? I assume then he was the one who informed them he was not a happy chappy about being moved away from mc duties in hospitality.So Mr Holtby got hold of the wrong end of the stick? or the Hamer statement is somewhat sugar coating the issue,if there ever was one.

Was the boycott organized by his mate? Was there ever a boycott given hospitality is said to be sold out? He might have been unhappy but that doesn't mean he wasn't told. Again, this is all a stretch to make something out of nothing isn't it?

Again, this is all a stretch to make something out of nothing isn't it? Good post Hugo. As we all know hospitality is regularly sold out and has been for a very long time. If a boycott was ever called for, the person doing so must be an absolute idiot. As we know, Ian always did a good job with his five minutes on the microphone doing his welcome speech etc, however why on earth would anyone boycott just because the man on the microphone has changed, after all I assume the rest of the hospitality experience is going to continue. It beggars belief why some people continually find the slightest reason to slag the club and its present owners and now continue to do so after they have had to put a totally inaccurate rumour to bed that was basically saying Ian was being sent on his way, in one case someone on here claiming he was being got rid of by our new Commercial manager. The statement made as far as I am concerned is quite clear in what it says, its a pity some are still not happy and find fault in what has been said.

What does that even mean? We can't read and we can't write but that don't really matter. Coz we comes from Gloucestershire and we can drive a tractor.
