News from Bristol City, Wycombe, Swindon and Bristol Rovers

Yannick Bolasie has tied up his switch from Plymouth to Bristol City and has told the local press that fellow winger Albert Adomah sold the club to him. The two became mates at Barnet and have stayed in touch since and Adomah – who received rave reviews for his shifts last season – let Bolasie, 22, know how great life was playing for Keith Millen at Ashton Gate. It was also enough to sway Bolasie despite apparent interest from other clubs. So it appears that Albert (who joined the club last summer) is still having a positive effect on the Robins even though he’s lying on a beach somewhere.
If you find you’re a little strapped at the moment and can’t afford that luxury holiday, you could do worse than take a leaf out of Kevin Betsy’s book.

Wycombe winger Betsy, 33, has signed up to play for the Seychelles and scored two goals in a recent warm up match for this summer’s Indian Ocean Island Games. His dad Lewis played for the Seychelles in the inaugural tournament 32 years ago.

I have a feeling that Kev also qualifies for Canvey Island and could have played in the annual Thames Estuary five-a-side competition, but for some odd reason …

New Bristol Rovers boss Paul Buckle has snapped up keeper Scott Bevan, 31, from former club Torquay just to rub a little salt in the wounds of the south coast club he left last week. He has also signed midfielder Matt Gill, 30, who has just been released by Norwich City.

Buckle’s third signing in a busy first week is another midfielder – Craig Stanley from Morecambe. Stanley, 28, played 19 games for Buckle while on loan with Torquay last season and is seen as a creative player. A replacement for Chris Lines?

Swindon may be about to lose yet another player if reports coming from the local media are to be believed. Striker Elliott Benyon, 19, has been linked with a switch to Leyton Orient despite having only signed a two-an-a-half year deal in January.
