Mark Gower: Question

I have heard that Gower likes the odd bet (allegedly)
I thought that was why he has often been found by the more observant of us to have gone missing during a game, as he nips up the steps of the west stand to Pridmores.

Some people think he's switched wings but by the time most have worked out that he's not there the bet's on & he wanders back.
 
Hi lads just a quick post to ask have anybody heard what Gower is doing is he staying with you or coming with us?? the rumor down here now is that he is signing with us soon but still no news about in the local press only thing Martinez has said is there is to be another 5 signings by the end of the week but no names mentioned?? Thanks lads:)

I've heard that Mark Gower is taking some time out to fullfill his boyhood dream of breakfasting at every Little Chef in the country and is combining this with a week at the melton Mowbray pork pie festival.

He will be making any decision on his future when he returns.

He is likely to miss three weeks of pre season training but he is naturally fit so this shouldn't be a problem for you should he sign.

Good luck in the CCC.

Ha ha ha ha thats a good one,cheers mate thank god he's naturally fit then or we would def be in trouble,good luck this season i'm tipping you guys for promotion!
 
Or it shows that his young family are settled in the south.

Exactly. Why would he want to uproot his family after so long in the South to join Swansea or Blackpool, both of whom in all probability may well be in a relegation fight in the Championship next season.

Now if as was rumoured at one time Nottingham Forest came back in for him, that would be a better move certainly worth considering for Mark.
 
I agree with Matt - logic says he's off to Swansea. My source (at his kid's school) also tells me he's off. So thanks Marky G and good luck.
 
According to today's echo Nottingham Forest have entered the race too now.
 
Ha ha ha ha as if he would be naturally fit you geek!! if that was the case there would be no need for him to be included in pre-season training you dick ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


The point you missed is that Gower even after pre season training isnt what we could call fit.

He isnt the strongest athlete you will see.....

I'm not bothered about that by any means Robbo and Trundle were like that but i'm confident that Roberto will def get the best out of him thats a fact! He'll be a quality player for us with Championship experience even if its not much of that.
 
The Big G Man!!

rumours have been coming and going, tilson has hinted at signings soon and then nothing has happened....but the one thing i thought would be resolved by now is mark gower!! last week tilson said he expected a decision by last weekend, nothing, then they hoped it would be resolved in the next couple of days....nothing!

is he staying or is he going?!? does anyone know?!

if he goes then we have another player we need to bring in and a big hole to fill, if he stays the in my opinion we've done well to keep hold of, on his day admitedly, our most talented player!

any news from anywhere on his position?

Normally Left Wing ...;)
 
Could be wrong (hope I'm wrong) but the longer this goes on, the less confident I feel, that he will stay with us.

Same here. At a guess, I'd suggest that his agent is still touting him around every Championship Club to give Mark the maximum number of possibilities. Forest and Blackpool have both come out of the woodwork as possibilities in the past week and maybe others will follow.

went to the share holders meeting in december some one from the floor said to ron about gower in talks with forest, wouldnt say where he heard it from ron wasnt impressed about a hour later ron asked again from where did he hear this from ,geezer said not a dikkie bird once again ron was not impressed . so forest story with gower might be older than a week.
