Having just seen her twitter and that she finds Drag Queens Story hour an acceptable way to educate children it only affirms exactly what I think of the GP. My goodness. Yeah! There were no drag queens infecting my childhood when I was growing up and I'm all the better for it! Mind you I had my suspicions about that Lilly Savage....

Word from the local councillor:
Cllr Edwards submitted a ‘neutral’ comment last week about the application, and said she could support the proposal but was representing local residents’ concerns. “I am leaving my comment neutral as although I have grave concerns about this application, I believe that if (Bristol Rovers) spend time working on their application and proper community engagement and assessments, then they may be able to have an application worth granting," she told council planners.
“Like may residents have commented, there is no objection to a larger and improved stand, but there are many serious concerns about how the club has operated so far,” she added, listing a series of concerns in the way the club went about clearing the site. “If they can get this all in order and prove that they can build a safe stand with all considerations in mind then I will be supportive. However I must currently take into consideration what I have seen, and what residents in my ward have reported to me as well as their concerns. I believe this application is going to need a lot of attention from officers to make sure it is done correctly,” she added.

Just playing politics.. A couple of hundred opposition letters is enough for a councillor to stand up and take notice, it's what they were elected to do, especially as there may be many more silently opposed to this. I don't know how many councillors are directly local to the Mem, but a couple of hundred polarised opinions makes a hell of a difference in a low turnout election. They have to take notice. Aren't we due election next year? (Not sure, we are definitely going to polls for General Election). The position of Mayor is abolished next year and Labour are getting ready for a spell in opposition as Greens *look* like they will be the majority on the council. Bit pathetic to see this to be honest, but Marvin's tenure has been hallmarked by blaming others and finding scapegoats for his administrations failings. I'll stop with the politics now. It's Sunday morning and the sun's out!

Mine arrived this afternoon, very professional I have to say!
I'd very much like if the voucher had a code I could use on the online shop, but thats a minor gripe. Having a voucher to use in the shop is a great addition.

WHAT A SIGNING. Welcome home Connor. I’m hoping for at least a three year deal, maybe with an option for a forth. Future Rovers captain, and room to grow with us as a club. Ready made fit for starting 11 at Pompey Saturday. £300k is a steal when you considering he is 21 & the potential sell on value is huge. CT announced in new away kit? I don’t care if he is announced wearing a pink Mankini, as long as he’s announced! You have to pay extra for that kind of thing

The Greens have never managed to block any of our stadium plans, we've managed to do that all by ourselves They did manage to significantly delay things on the plans for the Mem during the UWE proposal which helped the Sainsbury's proposal to fall through If only we had a watertight contract....

Got mine this morning, plus 4 mates. Heading down on the train.
Don't know what it is, but first away day of the season is always the best!

The fountain opposite St Georges library is always decent.
Also Top Nosh Kingswood way is very good.
Must have tried most of the greasy spoons in Bristol based purely on Sunday morning football getting cancelled when we'd already turned up!

Great interview and can't help but feel for the guy.
Would have fitted in nicely at RWB for Joey I reckon. Can't accuse him of being a let down when he could play

A couple of weeks ago it looked like Blackpool, Huddersfield and Wigan were all down, now QPR, Reading and Cardiff seemed to be all fighting for the last relegation spot. What an improvement in away days that would be!

Mine too but still good value, what can you get for £20 in groceries? Not much now. Not even a day in the pub. The White Hart on East Street (by me) does Doom Bar for £2 a pint HOWEVER you have to spend a day in the fog of beer farts and trying to figure out which one of the locals is going to get punchy later on

Join Neno, Willett and Duke as they discuss the current decline in form and the possible reasons behind it. They talk through the disappointing result against struggling side Burton Albion which saw us fail to beat yet another bottom 6 side. Loan signings Jerell Quansah and Ellery Balcombe have so far failed to impress - with the team discussing their performances alongside the Balcombe vs Belshaw debate - a decision that has caused division in the fanbase since Barton dropped a fan favourite. Barton's comments on social media and in interviews remains a huge talking point in this pod, with many fans becoming frustrated with the controversy and negative media press surrounding the club. Lastly, the team look forward to this weekend's away clash with another team in poor form, Oxford United. Thanks for listening & UTG! listen.gascastpodcast.co.uk/276671/12307817-barton-s-bad-vibes

Mets is joined by Mike Willet and Jake Woodman to talk about Rovers slump in form. The last three games have seen the Gas collect 0 points, shipping 9 goals and scoring just 1. They discuss the poor form of pretty much all our players as well as our reliance on loan signings from the premier league. They also go over our '5 out of 10' January dealings and look ahead to the game against Lincoln on Saturday. listen.gascastpodcast.co.uk/276671/12213295-you-can-t-win-anything-with-kids

Seems it's Green Football Day.Vale players picking up plastic bottles and Crewe applied for planning permission to build a solar energy farm on their car park.Not sure how that will work but they do have a Gi Normous car park. A football club has revealed plans for a 3,000-panel solar farm with the aim of becoming carbon negative in the future. Crewe Alexandra said the panels would be installed above spaces at their existing car park on Gresty Road. The club will borrow "a significant amount" of money to fund the scheme, but has not revealed how much. The energy from the panels could power the stadium or be sold to bring in cash, director Tony Davison said. He described the investment by the Alex as their "largest in more than two decades" and said the nearby community would benefit as well. "It will improve the provision of electric car charging points in the area, which will be available for use by local residents," Mr Davison said. A planning application has been submitted to Cheshire East Council and the club will hold a consultation event at the stadium on Saturday. They are doing something similar in France: www.cittimagazine.co.uk/comment/frances-plan-for-solar-panels-on-all-car-parks-is-just-the-start-of-an-urban-renewable-revolution.html
