Interesting that you would blame NH if the the new build goes t's up, nothing to do with Sainsbury and the Green party then ? That's not how I read it...the blame is at NH's feet is not keeping the fans informed about the current state of the UWE stadium (and therefore allowing rumour and *even more* distrust of the board to grow). It was more than a month after we needed to start building to be ready for 2015/16 that they told us officially we wouldn't be ready for 2015/16...anyone with a calendar and basic maths knew, and we all knew the reasons why, but for some reason it took weeks for the 'official announcement'. 9 months ago I was convinced the problem was TrasHorfield/the Green Party. I looked at some of their tactics and assumed they were rank-amateurs...and whilst they might not have won overall, they got a credible draw against out BoD who are supposed to be 'experts' in this sort of thing...

Judging by the way the last 16 is going I predict 0-0 for the missing game. I assume it's after 90 minutes Big Dave? Yup, knockout scores are as at 90 minutes

The problem (as I see it, and as I said since January) with JJOT in our side last season is that we had to weaken the rest of the team to accommodate him, either tactically or personnel-wise in certain matches. In certain games we should have dropped him and played a 'solid' 442, in some games he would have been great as an impact sub, and in others he should have started in a 3-man midfield and bossed the game. I don't blame him for his mind wandering towards the end of the season. We were never set up to get the best out of him, and too often set up worse just to fit him in.

Lots of people going for the unlikely score of 7-8 in the third QF...

Hope this is just MPs getting nervous and not Rovers using 'friends' to ask Sainsbury's questions in public...

Apparently he turned down three lg 1 clubs to join the cobblers. Cobblers. THANK YOU I've been trying for ages to come up with a decent JJOT/Cobblers joke and you just nailed it with one word!

...upsetting the Bod with yet more questions that have already been answered... I'll stop 'upsetting' them when they start 'answering' them...

I think we're becoming obsessed with the money it's possible to make from concerts. The club/venue only 'makes money' if it can sell the 'premium' add-ons...exactly the same as for a football match.
It's less about numbers through the gates and more about what you can sell them once they're inside. For example, go to an Elton John concert and you're more likely to be the kind of person who buys food and drink at the venue, you'll probably buy 'premium' drinks too...we know this is where clubs make their money, after all why were Man U/Wembley/et al 'chasing' the prawn sandwich brigade? Because that's where the money is...

Certianly a change of tack from 'I want my squad in place for the start of pre-season training'...I will still give DC the benefit of the doubt, but I wonder if he's been unwilling or unable (for any reason) to get his squad in place by his initial deadline...? Also, I don't want to be hiring any players just because of their wage demands...it was a problem when they were too high, not sure you can fix it just by hiring players who drop their demands because they are desperate for a club...can't we just sign some players because they are decent footballers who fit into a gap in the system we want to play?

To be honest, these last few years BRFC seems like a bad tribute act to the club I fell in love with at Twerton...

Thought for a minute there Mexico would hold on and we'd be down to the bare bones in terms of European teams left in it. Cheated though, so I hope they get paid back for it.
