    The rumour mill was working overtime at the match today when the man standing behind me said that one of the staff working in the new bar that was the clubs shop told him that a major announcement concerning a new ground would be announced at the end of the month. the reported site of said ground is UWE with the problems being ironed out, it also said that new investors were coming on board.
    The second one was that James Dyson the floor cleaner maker was trying to buy the club, hoping to suck us up the league no doubt

    I heard a rumour yesterday. Rovers and the Mayor are working together for a joint venture at Filton for a stadium and concer venue.

    Believe it when I see it.

    Could be a goer, because the Bristol Arena doesn't look likely.

    He's never struck me as a sports fan, let alone a soccer fan...and why The Gas?

    I see Gary Johnson is the new Torquay manager - now in National League South with the likes of Weston super Mare...

    A team on the up !?

    There seems to be quite a few clubs that have fallen out of the league and then fallen further, check out the National League North division and I am sure there are maybe two or three sides that were not very long ago established football league clubs., makes you think mind eh ?

    Harrogate Town could be in the Football League next season. Salford City aren't doing so well though.

    I haven’t been on here for a while but I’ve just had a rumour put my way from someone who apparently is in the know.
    A consortium will be buying the club out by the second week of this month.
    Don’t shoot me down.
    I just thought I would share this.

    And Lincoln Delsy, just put it on to try and raise a smile, 1 out 1 in according to DC on deadline day so who would people think could be leaving to make way for him, we don't appear to have a striker to sell

    We're probably third in line behind Charlton and Lincoln.

    Wont get shot down here <ok>

    So many rumours about our owners, I dont know what to believe!

    Wonder who will be involved with the consortium? An ex board member? I have heard Ed Ware is involved. I have heard an ex player involved as well. So many rumours. I bet we stay with what we got with Wael struggling to get money from the rest of the family, if that rumour is true!

    Rovers are apparently watching Michael Duffy a winger also with Dundalk, he started life at Derry then moved to Glasgow Celtic before moving to Dundalk
