If we are all going to come out with wild speculation, im going with hes struggling to come to terms with the physicality of big boys football

If he can work it out, he would be a welcome addition

If he cant, im not sure where his career goes

Hopefully he's saving up his 8k a week, just in case of doesn't work out

A shame that this game won't be played in the shadow of the gas works.

Have to agree lament the passing of Eastville, ‘‘twas a shit hole but one I always I enjoyed visiting, think the last time was last minute winner to break our long away win drought …. Think it was Jeff chandler winner.

The new place is far from an upgrade on either.

Good pub, went in last 2 times down there.

Quick service, friendly mix of home & away fans, good outside area

Bar opens at 10am for drinks; food only before 

[Leyther_Matt]

Been in there each time we’ve played there. Lovely pub. No option for reserving a table but you’d have to hope arriving before the bar opens should do the trick 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

[radcliffe white]

Reckon we be there for 9.30/10

 Had some rum times there in the mad years. We always had a big mob wherever we went and at least gave as good as we received.

I haven't re-read Bovver by Chris Brown for a long time now. Might have to revisit. Exaggerated to the extreme of course "Rovers beat the world" and all that crap but an amusing read anyway. Certainly describes the old place very accurately and captures the zeitgeist of the times.

Hard to distinguish between all you carrot crunchers anyway  

[BeeversLeftPeg]

Glad we don't need anything this weekend to secure a playoff spot but almost feels a bit anti-climatic now.
