Rovers Follow Our Lead

City’s successful loan signing of Mark Robins hasn’t gone unnoticed amongst our poor relations as they struggle to cling on to the honour of being in the league’s basement division.

For The Incider can exclusively reveal that Grey Graydon is so impressed with how Robins has found his spiritual home at Ashton Gate playing for the team which shares his name that he is hoping to copy the idea. Just as Robins and The Robins make a killer team, the Greymeister is now seeking a star whose moniker make him a natural to feel part of things down at the Mammary Ground.

Speaking during a ridiculous self-imposed press black-out yesterday, we assume Graydon said something like: “We are always looking to strengthen the squad, though admittedly to the untrained eye it may appear that we’re actually damaging it beyond repair.

“Having seen that Robins has done so well playing for The Robins set me thinking, and we are hopeful of revealing a new face within the next few days.

“We’ve narrowed it down to a shortlist of three, and it’s a case of seeing if any of them fancy playing on a ploughed field for no money, before we can announce anything concrete.”

The Incider has gained unprecedented access to The Grey One’s shortlist (due to a lack of interest from all other parties) and we are delighted to unveil for your delection the players that Rovers’ hopeless leader is chasing.

Similarly, Rovers have noticed City's success in pairing players named after birds in their front line.

Unfortunately, whilst trying to emulate the mighty reds, Rovers have had no luck pairing Tait and Grazioli, despite the fact that one is a tit and the other a cock.
