Helloooo gasheads. Another new episode of GasCast, kicking off our fortnightly schedule. You can listen here: gas-cast.co.uk/blog/podcast/022-a-dodgy-start/Of course you can also subscribe on iTunes and other podcast providers. In episode 22 of Bristol Rovers fans’ podcast GasCast, we discuss what has been a poor start to the League One campaign for The Gas.
The four of us analyse the defeats to Charlton Athletic and Peterborough United and give our early thoughts on new signings Liam Sercombe and Tom Nichols, as well as the form of Ellis Harrison and Tom Lockyer.
We then look ahead to this weekend’s clash against a Bury side featuring the likes of Jermaine Beckford and Harry Bunn, and reminisce about our last visit to Craven Cottage ahead of Tuesday’s second-round league cup match against Fulham.
Finally, we touch upon the latest in the new stadium saga; discussing the news that owner Wael Al-Qadi will pursue redeveloping the Memorial Stadium and is keen to incorporate safe standing into the plans.
Ollie Neno hosts, alongside Max Alderson, Harley Thorne and GasCast debutant Simon Gray.Thanks and let us know what you think, as always. Harley / GasCast

Pfft, unnecessary. Kid is just doing his job!
My main issue with the Bristol Post (Rovers) reporting overall is that they are never going to be breaking any news we haven't seen before. It's all pretty much just a roundup of the content Rovers have already put up.

My first week of discovering the world of podcasts, and I can honestly say that of the many varieties of pod I've listened to so far, this was my favourite. Very entertaining, I laughed out loud several times. Thank you Harley and the Vice Chancellor of GasCast! Harley and the vice chancellor of GasCast are one and the same. But thank you! Utg Edit: I've just read this back and my thatchers tonight has clearly affected me. oops

fanboy - listened to this last night and really enjoyed it. I think I may be one of the ones influencing your "worst case scenario", and wanted to comment on something... You do have to trust your judge of character, and I don't think for one minute Wael is a bad person trying to screw us over. He is clearly a really nice guy, trying to do good things for us. However, this doesn't mean we shouldn't question things - especially when there is so little communication of any substance coming out of the club. Oh I totally agree. We should expect better communication and should ask questions - we as fans have to do that! Glad you enjoyed the pod!

It was a difficult one for that reason, really. Lack of communication is quite astounding. It's leading people to potentially come up with fairy tale worries, but no one is giving us reason to stop worrying. Not entirely true, we've had the "Keep Calm" message on instagram which was supposedly meant to ease the worry! I hope in future all club statements are made via cryptic instagram posts.

You're mostly likely correct but like Will Dubey their was a big fanfare when he arrived but nothing said when they departed. Has Will Dubey left the club? Do you know when or why? I don't think he has left, and when he arrived his role was kind of talked up too much. He's basically a scout I believe. Or an analyst. Something like that.

Top effort. it's a shame our owners can't do something similar. It was a difficult one for that reason, really. Lack of communication is quite astounding. It's leading people to potentially come up with fairy tale worries, but no one is giving us reason to stop worrying.

Hi guys. As if you wanted to be reminded of the UWE stadium debacle ... well we at GasCast HQ were kind enough to do a special episode ranting and raving about where we go from here following the news and confusion at the end of last week. gas-cast.co.uk/blog/podcast/021-uwe-meltdown-special/ In this episode we cover all of the possible bases, be that the concerns over whether the owners will remain, or where the hell in Bristol we could actually build a stadium. It's an HOUR long... which was not intentional but it's fair to say we all got pretty stuck in. Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it! Thanks, Harley / GasCast PS. Thanks again tommym9 for your second impressive GasCast appearance!

Did he spit? Did the ball cross the line ? Did we lose yes get over it. I don't see anyone hiding behind excuses, but both are totally worth discussing as one is a crime, and generally disgusting, and the other is an embarrassingly poor bit of refereeing.

Two things 1. Everything about this UWE decision from sacking Mr Cunnagh to the complete silence and decision to bin it is really fishy. Things don't add up. 2. Wael is on the radio next week so despite the stench of kippers lets give him a chance to explain. By explain i mean actual proper explanation not plattitudes and charm. Michael Cunnah was not sacked - this is a great example of a rumour starting carelessly on a forum and no doubt spreading. He was a consultant. He came in, he checked out the plans / project, and made his comments. He then was not required until the negotiations were complete. He did he job he was supposed to do, he certainly did not get sacked and had the negotiations gone well he'd have returned.

Happy days! always a decent listen on the commute. What sort of listening figures do you get? We did used to average about 600-700 but that doesn't actually mean that many people finished it... so it's hard to judge. our special episode when Wael bought the club hit nearly 2000... hoping to hit new highs this season with a much more frequent / consistent upload rate and of course our UWE stadium announcement pod will no doubt hit the Wael levels!
