    FA Cup 4th round predictions/desires

    Bristol Rovers would be fun. I'm still annoyed at how they walloped us 3-0 back in 1974. That defeat signalled the collapse of our promotion bid, and the slump carried on next season, leading to relegation to Div 4. Took us years to recover.

    New Kings Park Stadium

    I I'd love to live in a house built on the site of the old Dean Court ! Nice and handy for the new stadium too.

    Yes, didn't Atkinson say something in an interview along the lines of "..we're looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend by the seaside", or similar ? Came back to haunt him all right.

    Not always directly. But when Brian derails a another thread with a lot of completely irrelevant posts, often talking about himself at length and completely swamping the discussion, then it all gets moved here, onto his own dedicated thread. Personally, I think it's an excellent idea. Brian...

    It's not quite clear what you mean, but if you are saying that when the 1910 bar shut, if you weren't affected then you didn't complain, that simply isn't true. Loads of people did. Lots of us could see, even if we never set a foot inside the place, that this move would severely disrupt a...

    Hang on, what's wrong with PE teachers ? Seems like an extremely useful, important job. All the PE teachers I've ever known have been very likeable and respected people.

    Steady on old chap, you're suggesting this is a cynical ploy by Jim & Co. to discomfit the oldies ? Be careful, you'll get people coming on here accusing you of being a conspiracy theorist. Or ridiculing you for having mental health issues.

    New Old Cherry

    Yes indeed, Brian was like our very own Vera Lynn, keeping up our flagging spirits in a time of adversity. A tonic for the troops !

    New Old Cherry

    Because if you just left without saying anything, that could be misinterpreted as an Extended Silent Sulk, and nobody wants that. Where's the drama ? The pleading to stay ? The final hurled insults ? The emotional goodbyes ?

    New Old Cherry

    Yes, technically known as the Pre-Flounce Announce. Experienced Flounce pros have been known to pre-announce their Grand Flounce with a series of carefully timed Pre-Flounces so as to build up maximum tension and drama leading up to the Big Day. I have the feeling we are in for a true classic.

    If both we and Wolves progress in the Cup, wouldn't it be just typical if we drew them in a future round ? Football has a habit of throwing up games like that.

    Not really. We know that Bill wants to reform the pricing policy. That's a fact. The only speculation is that he may see concessionary tickets as an obvious area to tackle. But of course, he may not. We'll see.

    Yes, indeed, there will always be natural wastage for a variety of reasons. But remember, one of Bill's earliest comments on taking over the club was that our pricing was "terrible". His point was that we are selling tickets far too cheaply. Now, if his research shows that we have a...

    New Kings Park Stadium

    Dunno, I think he's sulking a bit because he doesn't like having his stuff relocated to his own personal thread. He should be delighted at having his very own All About Brian thread, where he can talk about everything and anything to his heart's content without anyone accusing him of hijacking...

    Well, I imagine they will, but surely they will put extra marketing effort towards those demographic sectors who offer a better financial return ? If you were the owner of a restaurant, who would be more valuable to you, the customer who comes in and spends £50 each time, or the customer who...

    Given that our expanded new stadium is at least 3 years away, how will we, in the meantime, find space for newer, younger supporters ? That can only be by existing supporters making way for new ones. Surely, that was the logic behind the new points scheme ?
