I think it’s beautiful, apart from the statue of the monkey with a fishing rod.

They can fuck off with that shit.
Money grabbing is going to far now
That opinion seems a bit OTT. I'm all for emphasising the role that we and the stadium play in developing the brand and the club's financial strength.
I just read the p.r. and thought "yeah, nice one".
Mister E, I am not angry just disappointed.
'arf, 'arf  ;D

why the latter can’t be bought  according to Hookey because it’s a full HMO

Sorry Percy it was a comment I heard a while ago and suggested it was owned and financed by the council so could not be purchased for commercial gain.

Not 100% on how true that is but it would make sense if the club could to buy up all the land between VP and Witton Station as a lot of it is a complete shithole with car breakers and car washing business which I'm not even sure are legit.
If it is owned by our bankrupt council, surely they would accept an offer for it?.
But then again, it is our bankrupt council.🙁

Arf!
But willing to heap misery on the working classes by voting Tory, braying about Brexit, calling football "wendyball", labelling everything they don't like woke, singing incomprehensible, tuneless songs with at least 35 obscene verses and seeing nothing wrong whatsoever with necking a pint through a used jockstrap.
Gloucester is very much a working class club.

This is fantastic! Perfect on so many levels.

You did realise I was joking, that it was a grossly exaggerated parody of the demographic of Rugby Union fans and wasn't in anyway at all meant to be taken seriously or analysed?

I did, but it wqasn't funny and is about 40 years out of date, and also you called me a fucking tory, that's unacceptable even as a bad joke.

It’s only a joke, guys.

Although I meant every word of what I said about rugby*


* for clarity, this too is a joke.

I don’t know how many of you have been to the Etihad.  But I was at Co-Op Live last night chaperoning my two daughters.  The site is just unbelievable and they’re building another 7000 seats.

Timing is everything they got in before the PSR lock.  And of course the alleged cheating.  And they were given a new stadium.

Nonetheless it depresses me massively that the cards are so massively stacked against us when once comparable teams like this boast this kind of revenue opportunity.
