No drama, did it all on my own for the Red Lion Reserves. Picked the Team, did the scouting, did the training, washed the kits, marked the pitch, nets & flags. ….and I played….. Never won F All though. You'll fit in very nicely

What if the bin was the only witness...? Ted Rodgers saw everything Ask him if he needs a coaching job, with his infamous four:3:2:1 formation.

J.K. Rowling's son is supposed to be a Rovers fan! Has anyone ever successfully switched from Quiditch to football?

I have done once or twice, but then that was a works van. Pretty sure the police will still investigate criminal damage and if the wheelie bin had a number on it the investigation should be pretty simple for them.... Would need solid evidence to pick out a individual bin in a line up to make it stick or the case would be thrown out of court What if the bin was the only witness...?

I think that is quite likely. To be honest, with all the drop curbs that have been put in over the last 5 years. It's pretty close to residents only parking. I get so annoyed with people putting bins and traffic cones in the street outside their houses. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to block the public highway. Move the obstructions somewhere safe so you can legally park there instead... Would you do that? Risk some nimby damaging your car?

That is the point for me. We end up letting players leave on a free as we aren't very good at cashing in on them. For all Snakey boys negative antics, he could have left on a free that summer. I think when you look that Taylor, Bodin, Harrison and Lockyer all left for less than what we got for just Barry in 1998 it's pretty damning. To be fair, Taylor/Bodin/Harrison didn't play at the level that Barry Hayles did. Lockyer, we so messed up there. No fee and some fans were saying he wasn't good enough for us.

Dont we always sale our best players for next to nothing ? Apart from snake who have we sold for a bargain? That is the point for me.

Now the greens have been run out of town in Brighton and now have encamped in Bristol we can expect a sea shift on policy in the council. Wouldn't be surprised to see resident parking all around the mem which is their heartland of devotees in place pretty quickly I think that is quite likely. To be honest, with all the drop curbs that have been put in over the last 5 years. It's pretty close to residents only parking. I get so annoyed with people putting bins and traffic cones in the street outside their houses.

Can you add TG sacked to that list?
After the gaff he has just made, it will be difficult seeing him at preseason.

We should be adding Solar Panels to all roof top areas. Will save the club a fortune. As a group of fans, we are becoming more 'green'. Remember the rainbow at Peterborough home game, lovely. Owl spotting at half time would be a right hoot. You previously suggested the South Stand was a disaster waiting to happen and would collapse with a bit of bad weather and now you want loads of solar panels piled on top - is it now a safe structure then? Never once suggested the stand would fall down.

Such as? I don't really understand why there is such hatred of him and TG on a personal level. Disagreeing on and critiquing what they do is one thing, but it's crossing a line for me. They're both useless. Christ, they released a video for a new stadium that they had no plans for, no agreement on, nothing. They're both beyond parody at this point. Absolute bozos. This should really have caused an uprising. It was a shocking ploy to sell more season tickets. It really was taking the p.iss out of the fans.

Greens run Bristol now …. Expect all sorts of additions in the stand . Owl boxes - solar panels - seats made from cardboard etc.. We should be adding Solar Panels to all roof top areas. Will save the club a fortune. As a group of fans, we are becoming more 'green'. Remember the rainbow at Peterborough home game, lovely. Owl spotting at half time would be a right hoot.

I don’t know for a fact. Just my opinion from reading it that it’s pretty obvious. Maybe, but it's still speculation. Not aimed at you, but this is just how rumours get out of hand, one person's "maybe" becomes and Internet fact within a few posts and before we know it, there are calls for sackings. TG has probably passed something on that he shouldn't have. As a CEO, you have a duty to not send that email. No CEO will think good things will come from sharing that.

Name who wrote and sent the email, or is it all innuendo as usual? id like to know,I’m sure others would also 👍🏾 I don’t know for a fact. Just my opinion from reading it that it’s pretty obvious. I'll have a fiver on Abdullatif.

My theory is:
SC emails TG TG emails Owners Owners email TG TG forwards to SC SC publish
The reason that the tweet got deleted is that TG has got himself into a pickle with the owners by forwarding their response to him. I don't think they thought that he would be sharing that response.
The response to a private email is the response from the owner to him, rather than his response to the SC being a private email.

What part of the ground is £549? The East Stand, I assume the West Stand would also be the same price if any tickets were still available. Just looking on their site: Rybrook Shrewsbury West Stand / Block 16 £520, not £460.

Absolutely no surprise as the clubs back office recruitment standards are pathetic. If this response however did come from a Senior Official they need a wake up call - Sadly I am not surprised by this lack of awareness ! Sounds to me that it was a typical "private" email sent by TG, baffling why the SC thought it was OK to post it on their website whoever it was from. A CEO with that level of English launguage use, should be jailed. Calling the grammar police now.

Well known ex Gas striker incoming ? Maybe the idea was created at Cheltenham. The realisation that the Matty Taylor abuse was not at him...

I took a hammering on here from a poster a few weeks back for the “odd” criticism of TG replying to emails but not offering adequate communications to supporters. Well here you go. This is why it’s a problem and not the professionally done thing. It does feel a little, well 'naive' that a response to the supporters club was a response to the sender of the email,rather than a response to the supporters club members.

What we need to remember is that although Rovers is OUR club, between us WE don’t contribute anywhere near enough to keep it afloat. We are, and always have been, reliant on benefactors. If I were a club owner spunking a few million pounds a year I would expect to be able to have a significant input into the way it’s run, and wouldn’t think it unreasonable to ask the people I am keeping the club alive for to help out a little bit. I’m not saying they should be immune from criticism, but there is a bigger picture here. The balance is surely fans paying a reasonable amount per season v fans being milked? I've just looked at Shrewsbury Town website and the price for a similar s/t is £460 whereas mine is now £549 w/o the early bird discount plus £15 if I wanted a season ticket card. What part of the ground is £549?
