Please Retire. I'm sure you're a nice fella but your voice isn't as strong as it used to be and needs to be if you are making important announcements. it's impossible to make out a word you are saying if there is a smidgen of noise from the crowd, and there often is more than a smidgen of noise because you seem to take no notice of what is actually happening on the pitch when you press your bing bong. is it really absolutely necessary to press your bing bong the moment Liam Lawrence takes a corner? with the new owners in maybe we could get Jonathan ross or nick grimshaw.

darrel clarke didnt sound happy that he only found out about the takeover yesterday morning. would of thought the board would of given him a heads up on what was going to happen. Why? Other people were seeming leaking left right and centre and the last thing the team needs is to worry about anything off the pitch. Their job is to get three points per game, if they do that their jobs wouldn't be in doubt anyway... dropping a absolute bomb 24 hrs before a game isnt a great way to do things but we won anyway so onwards and upwards UTG !

the first two will never happen. Because....? your not allowed standing terraces in the top flight , why build a new stadium if it doesn't meet basic regulations . if the new owners have ambitions of rovers playing further up the the footballing pyramid why build a league 2 ground. also there's the rarther large matter of planning permission allready having been submitted for a all seater stadium . submitting new plans would set the project back by a good 18 months and give trash the opportunity to throw another spanner in our plans to move away from the area. as for naming one of the ends the tote end, the new owner isnt running a charity that will never happen . sponsorship will bring revenue to the club , its bad business to turn away good money and id rarther see rovers creating its own money rarther than relying on the bottomless pockets of our new owners.

Now that the cavalry has arrived (welcome to Bristol you guys) it's time to draw up the wish lists. Here's my first go - not in any particular order : - Standing behind the goal for Gasheads in the new stadium - Our end to be officially called The Tote End - A sign in the players tunnel / dressing rooms with something like "We are the Gas" or "This is Bristol Rovers" - loudspeakers which repeatedly blare out our club songs to drown out opposition fans (like they do at Bradford City) - A strong youth development programme, so we have some Bristol Boys in the team (assuming they make the grade) - Every season our away shirts are quarters, irrespective of the colour scheme - As we climb the leagues, let us thrash Crawley/Dagenham/Burton/Fleetwood/Yeovile/Sheff Weds/Northampton/Wycombe home and away (no need to mention the BS3 rubbish because that's a given). - that we do not, ever, sign N. Warnock, Messi, Ibrahamovic, N. Warnock (again), Joey Barton or Balotelli.
How's that for starters ? the first two will never happen.

Unbelievable last 24 hrs,now it's all sunk in and plenty of talk of a new stadium and the new owners in place would it be better to redevelop the mem? Is the Uwe still the best option/location for our new ground? Or is there another option/location that might be better suited now we have new owners? I'm just not feeling the uwe(souless out of town ground) thing! Hardly out of town is it . we'll just not be under city of bristol jurisdiction

when have we ever dished out new contracts mid season , once the season is over DC will write his retained list like every other manger in the country and offer contracts out to the players he wants to keep . where is the sense in dismantling a successful squad anyways .

the Al-qadi family brought all of HSBC's banking assets in jordan for 1.2 billion dollars so they probably have a few quid to chuck around

Disagree, I think a league club would give him a chance especially someone like Newport, he is a Wales U21 international don't forget. It's only a minor injury by the sounds of it not as if it is something like a broken leg.
The only club in for him was Hartlepool.. lets face it that's hardly a glamorous offer is it?
By the time he's back from injury and fit again the season will be over and lets all face it he hasn't impressed enough at this level to warrant another league club has he?
His best chance of staying in the league is by hoping Hartlepool take a risk on him.
not true there was at least 3 one of them being newport who were desperate to get him.

With the shops starting to stock up on cream eggs, and Matty Taylor missing a chance with the goal at his mercy (again), is it time for Easter? I know he divides opinion a bit, but Easter's looked hungry to me when he's been given the chance lately. He's never going to be prolific, but he does have a touch of class. I also think MT could benefit from some bench time, he's a little too sure of his place atm. He will be sold soon so not a problem Rumour at the ground yesterday was £850,000.... gulp nobody's gona pay that for a player whos contract runs out in the summer. barcelona wouldn't get that for messi if his contract as up in 5 months !
