Ok, two separate reports, the Facebook one was a friend of mine I have known for years, the other was from a close family member who, quite frankly doesn't (Sorry didn't) know sh*t about Rovers, new ground/takeovers, etc, and not that much about football in general,
Can't tell you much more as my family member's info as you could imagine is sketchy, however, the fact it's from 2 totally different sources and a week apart I feel that something is about to come out. If I could tell you more then I would.

What's funny is people complaining about puerile, stupid jokes and nonsense ruining this thread when in reality there are less than a handful of posts that contain any verified or tangible evidence for anything! You can't deny that the standard of posting has slipped since we passed page 200 Hugo, surely! Up until that point there was still a small shred of optimism left in some of us. I feel somewhat crushed that the most excitement we can have now is listening to Nobby tell his Norwegian tales. Now, one of the problems of being one of Lizzie's loyal servants was the annual Winter Deployment to Norway, well, the deployment isn't that much of a problem, but there are strings attached to it. One such string was the act of 'doing a No.2' when you were out in the snow/ice/mountains. A lot of the training areas are in fact National Parks. This means that during the winter, the men could not do a No.2 anywhere. You couldn't just pop behind a tree or a rock to drop one, because it would just freeze and not decompose, then when the snow melted in the Spring, the National Park would be covered by literally thousands of No 2's dropped by our fine Corp of men. This of course, we could not allow to happen. So, we had to do our No 2's in what was called a 'Thunderbox'. Basically a cardboard box with an oval cut out of the top. You didn't sit on it, but just sort of 'hung' over the top, with legs akimbo to do your business. This only worked if we were stationary for the night and the Thunderboxes were available. Sometimes, during daytime moves, we passed Public Loos in the mountains. These were single room bogs with just a piece of wood over a large hole. There would be five or six holes cut in the wood. One day, as we moved about I spied one of these delightful places, and being caught short, as it were, decided to pop in and actually sit down for a dump, something that can only be described as a luxury in the mountains of Norway. So there I was, trousers and shreddies around my ankles, purring with delight to actually be sat down while having a dump, when the door opened and in walked this stunning woman. Norway is full of stunning people. The long blonde hair, skin like a peach, lightly tanned, teeth like pearls and beautiful blue eyes......and that was just the blokes ! Anyway, in she comes, we both nodded politely and mumbled an 'hello'.....quite surreal....she then unzips thing, unties things, drops things, and then sits on the hole two away from me, whereupon she sort of half closed her eyes, and gave out that little sigh we all recognize as the start of a delightful dump. Well, to say I was staggered would be the understatement of the century. Quite often we would pass locals out skiing during the day, but I really didn't expect this. It quite put me off my stroke. I remember looking at her and thinking if it was worth trying to trap her and get a date, but I decided that the situation we were both in wasn't really what would be called a 'romantic situation'. I tell you, having a stunning woman come into the bog to have a dump next to you can actually be quite distressing. I was in a right funk. It's just not cricket. To keep things topical, I think we will win 2-0 on Saturday. |

Until the Appeal verdict is given I can't see any takeovers/stadium updates being given. |

To keep things topical, I think we will win 2-0 on Saturday. Reminded me of one on my experiences; I was having a sh** in the train toilet today, when some bloke knocked on the door. He said, "Can I see your ticket please?" "Not right now" I shouted, "I'm having a sh**!" He said, "I don't believe you, can you pass it under the door?" "No problem," I said, sliding it under. "The yellow bits are sweetcorn." 1-1 for me Gaffney to score  |

Why is everything so secret?
gasincider - the mystical Twitter post - no proof
gasincider - Taylor to be sold in January to pay court costs - no proof
Padstow - The mystical Latvian - no proof
Browner - Some news next week. - no proof
Has everyone on here signed confidentiality contracts?

You missed the JTS post where he announced a deal was being signed a couple of weeks ago - no proof or update/explanation since. |
