Ground Share

[Piemonte]

Following Saturday i'm all for the proposed groundshare, i welcome our Bristolian neighbours with open arms.

Right I'm a little confused about this, Bowden was at the speedway last night and reckoned a decision will made today and was currently 80/20 in Swindons favour............so are they going to make a decision then carry out the the fans consultation as a consultation?

Also he was banding around a figure of 100k for it to anyone that wanted to listen. Is he talking out of his arse again or are the club just misleading fans?

*BIG FUCKING BUMP*

Is it only me or does anyone else find it strange that the club have not issued some form of countenance statement, disgracing the actions of  the so called fans of BRFC.

It certainly gives credence to Glos Robins post above.

I can just imagine it

The deal is already done and then this happens

'how the fuck are we going to play this now ?"

Very interesting next couple of days

Perhaps a joint statement will be issued ?

Agreed, Bowden seemed confident that the deal was 80/20 in our favour and looking forward to the money. I remain convinced it is already a done deal.......where is this feedback facility that Starnes promised to have in place by now, just another lie?

On reflection I should have agreed to the chat with Bowden but oh well.

So he could fob you off with more crap?

My previous encounters with him have left me cynical I guess

True but think now it was maybe an opportunity lost, I'm sure he would just fob me off though so probly glad I didn't

Sounds like Lincoln had trouble with Wovers also :

Imps fans set to send complaint to Bristol Police.
By Nathan Jackson May 12 2007

A large group of Lincoln fans are set to complain to the Police force in Bristol after they just stood there whilst Imps fans were pelted with coins and bottles during the game. Despite making several complaints to stewards and the police at the ground, nothing was doing about the fans that threw the coins, and then the forces threatened to throw City fans out for swearing during chants. The problems all started about 10 minutes before kick off when a young female Imps fan complained to the stewards in the away end that she had a coin thrown at her. She pointed out the fan that threw it and the stewards just walked off. Some other Imps' fans were reporting incidents of bottle and coin throwing in their direction as they entered the ground.

A few minutes later a large section of police entered the ground and stood between the two sets of fans. Bristol Rovers scored soon afterwards and several bottles were seen being lobbed into the away end, as well as one or two coins being thrown. Although the police saw this, they choose to do nothing about it.

The incoming missiles into the away end soon ended, but then police started threatening to throw City fans out for swearing during certain chants.

This lead to several objections from Imps fans as to the fact the police seemed more than happy for coins and bottles to be thrown a Lincoln fans, but the Lincoln fans weren't allowed to have a few "tongue-in-cheek" chants.

It is believed that up to 100 of the fans that were in the terraced away end are set to launch an official complaint with the Police force in Bristol.

I see the Bristol Evening Post has got some balls for a change :

Unfortunately, there is still no mention of the 'Inn on the Green' incident.

Further up Gloucester Road, staff at the Inn On The Green, which witnessed violence before the match between Rovers and Swindon Town two weeks ago, were refusing entry to anyone in a football shirt. The pub was closed until the match started at 5pm.

Nice to see Gerald Phillips is going around the boards dismissing this as unimportant and refusing to accept that Rovers cause trouble.....does he just like to disagree with everyone?
