Anyone else can't get over the fact that number 12 isn't GasHeads?

This is the recording of a LIVE epsiode of Gascast looking forward to the 2020/21 season. Mets is joined by Neno, Jack, Caz and Max to look back at who stood out in preseason and who we think will be making a big splash this coming season. With JCH leaving for Posh for an initial £1.25m there is a big number 9 spaced hole in the attack, but is Garner going to replace like for like there? Each of the gang give their predictions for the season. Some are more optimistic than others! There are still doubts over Garner after his disastrous run at the end of the 2019/20 season. Will a difficult start this season see him come under added pressure? listen.gascastpodcast.co.uk/276671/5248279-2020-21-season-look-ahead

Healy impressed me a lot last season. Could lead the line in the same physical mould as JCH. 12 goals in only 20 appearances last season. Assume he's a bit injury prone?

For anyone wondering where the Wooden stadium idea has come from. It's David Goldblatt talking to Neil Maggs on his excellent podcast Bristol Unpacked thebristolcable.org/2020/08/listen-bristol-unpacked-with-david-goldblatt-on-how-sport-can-help-save-us-from-climate-change/I for one would love it. Not only would it be much more environmentally friendly but we would be all over the news for it. Wouldn't be surprised if it won awards as most stadia are concrete and steel and this could be something really spectacular. On a side note the report that David has produced is pretty harrowing reading for a lot of clubs at risk of floods. Luckily the Mem is OK and the FM is high enough above the Avon to be a serious risk, but food for thought for other clubs. All well and good, but has there been any mention of cost? I suppose the good thing about a wooden stadium is, if the St Phillips Marsh area did flood we could float the stadium away and site it on higher ground! I'm in no way qualified to talk about cost. I don't know what a bag of cement costs compared to a plank of wood. I like the idea of being able to float. Sure I read something about that in the Bible. A world populated by Gasheads...

"Anyone who is keen* can hear this" say the Gascast lads, getting ready in their commentary positions. *Not me though, obviously. I wouldn't have swore if I knew anyone was listening!

Bring him back in an ambassador role when he hangs up the boots. The fans love him. I'd have him back in any capacity whatsoever 😍

Don't forget we've got Mehew at CM too. Looked decent against Farm on the weekend I think we do need to remember this was a team five leagues below us, who've not played in 5 months and were chasing round professionals in 28 degree heat. Yeah absolutely. Sterner tests ahead!

Absolutely love the bloke. So nice and this is pride of place in my flat I hope this was visible behind you during your interview? I was going to mention it, but then I'd fanboyed over him so much I decided its probably best to leave it out

Mets had the pleasure of speaking to his all time favourite player Stuart Sinclair about his time at the Gas. Stu talks about his release by Luton at 16 and plying his trade in non-league with various clubs before DC brought him to BS7. An instant fan favourite he chats about his rise through the leagues with the Gas. Starting with the conference season they talk about the pressure the squad and manager were under for an instant return to league football. He talks about the injury that kept him out of the Wembley final that year and if Will Puddy was fouled at Dover away... In his first season in league football Stu managed to bag a 94th minute winner against his boyhood club Luton, witness Lee Brown send us up and talk about the scenes on Gloucester Road afterwards. The following season in league one saw Rovers play away at Stamford bridge in the cup and run the premier league team close. Conte bringing on Hazard and Terry to see the game out. They talk about DC losing his job, Taylor leaving to cross the city divide and eventually his departure from the club. This episode was sponsored by Kahuna flooring, who supply and fit all types of flooring for your home or workplace. Steve & Kahuna come to you with a sample selection service and offers deals on supplied & fitted carpets, vinyls, LVT (such as Karndean and Amtico), engineered wood and more!

Thank you a very well put together write up and a fair assessment of all the players. The one thing I do disagree with is that I thought we played quite clearly with a 4-2-3-1 in the first half and changed to a back 3 for the second half? I may be wrong but that is how I seen it. Great work on the report. I was in attendance with young Max and it was a 3-4-3 in both halves imo. Though there was definite fluidity at top so could be argued that the shape changed a bit there, but they definitely set up with a back three in both halves. As we've been starved of football I have written a 'sideways look' blog of the game (YER JOKING) - gascastpodcast.co.uk/2020/08/09/sneek-peek-at-the-creek/ I was one of those saddos getting excited every time a train went past. Wasn't quite at full mast though!

Try the one in Bedminster on a Thursday afternoon 👀 I popped in on Saturday evening, I wondered why there was huge queues outside the booze shop on the junction of Cannon street and East Street. Then the pub had loads of the "Stokes Croft" types in, definitely not locals.
I saw the following day that there was some sort of gathering in the local park, The few local pubs I have been to have been in the main, well controlled and I felt safe. Spoons was no exception, member of staff on the door controlling entry and exit, hand sanitation and track and trace forms. I would definitely use it again - UTG Yeah I was surprised that the colliers and the masonic had proper procedures in place. Considering quite a few places in town are very lax about it all!

Ventured into a Spoons for the first time last year, in Worcester - was pleasantly surprised, as, from the press they get, I was expecting clientele more suited to a wild west saloon! Try the one in Bedminster on a Thursday afternoon 👀

Well crikey, I hope we never meet in the professional capacity If someone on my team said to me "it'll be ready in a few weeks" and meant 12 then I wouldn't be happy lol. Didn't see Sam's Q&A about August, so that's good to know at least. I'll have a read now. Surprised Topper didn't post it in here if I'm honest Ah yes, but none of my deliverables were given such woolly timescales...they were all man hours based on FTEs assigned...and often they immovable deadlines like Big Bang, Company merger dates, Y2K, Euro conversion, Brexit etc. Ah Y2K. An immeasurable amount of hours put in for most people to say it was over hyped and there was nothing to worry about! Was before my time work wise, but working in the field I can understand the incredible amount of effort put in to make sure it was alright on the night

Yeah it all sounds great. Only issue is if we go into next season with this seasons form it will all be for nowt as Ben will swiftly be out of a job. I'm cautiously optimistic about next season. Only 6 weeks away so hopefully that gives all the new players time to gel and Ben to sort his best team.
