Sidwell their new hero? Another player that's never kicked a ball for them yet deemed a "legend" just like Windass.

Presumably the person who wrote that golden nugget realises the crowd at their last game at Eastville was 3576.

Never turned their backs !!!

Yet in the year 1982 we averaged a higher home attendance than them.

#gaslogic kicking in again. 

Just the 19,000 there. If only we could give out free tickets and barely muster a 10k crowd. 

Why do they bother? They're on the verge of a potential 3rd promotion in a row yet they still can't sell out a capacity of 5 white seats, a tent and a gazebo.

If we finish 10th I will be delighted...certainly won't feel that we've missed out. We can't do play offs anyway, we just can't!

Yet annoyingly the 2015ers have a decent play off record. That's something they have over us, I guess.

I love you lot.  The more you take the p*ss out of everything the Gas are - ground, fans, resources, players, manager etc.etc. - the more remarkable their position in League One becomes.  I would not bet against them getting promotion this season.  They have a winning mentality and you can't buy that.  They also tend to get better as the season goes on, and have an impressive record in play-offs.  Looks as if relegation to the Conference may turn out to have been the best thing that ever happened to them...

Can't polish a turd, they can be unbeaten until May for all I care they'll still be ragbag rovers, tents gazebo's n all.

Still havent heard a noise from the Mem despite living on Filton Avenue, Horfield for the last 6 months.

Tents absorb noise. The only logical explanation.

The dream continues. You know it's going to happen yet again, don't you?

Game ended about 15 minutes ago and the first thing you do is go on your rivals forum to brag  

Since you're on here quick question, why didn't you sell out when your club was giving away free tickets?

I remember seeing lots of 15ers laugh at out 21,500 attendance against Blackburn, thinking we should sell out because we had a ticket discount. What's their excuse?

I don’t give a shit if we are light years behind you, will never be at ‘your superior level in every which way’

 

My club seems to be improving it’s self from the ragbag shambles it was and for that I am happy

 

We can be forever in your shadow and I really don’t give a ****, as long as I have a sustainable, well run football club to support and isn’t going down the swanny like it was under the last lot

 

 

I think it irks SOME of you lot more that WAQ comes across as a decent bloke and a football fan and he doesn’t appear to be a megalomaniac owner  or asset stripper regardless of how much money he has or doesn’t have, because you wanted him to ruin the club and you are a bit disappointed he hasn’t done it yet

Surely not as irked as you are that he's worth about a packet of crisps?

In fairness to wally, it makes sense for him to promote his club in any way possible. As @RumRed said earlier, he does come across well and if he was the owner of an equally small club like Accrington or Barnet, I'd wish him all the luck in the world.

But he's not, so **** him.

I did enjoy the fact The Guardian made it very clear that Dwayne Sports LTD Franchise are stuck in our shadow.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?” Al-Qadi says, covering his eyes. “I was invited to the pub by some fans. A couple of the Rovers staff said ‘Don’t go’. But I wanted to celebrate, so I went with my brother and two friends, and all of a sudden three or four guys came over and hoisted me up. I looked ahead and there were 3,000 people. The fans were really nice, it was just happiness. But the police called in the next day and gave us a warning, saying something about I could have caused a riot if there were some Bristol City fans. They told us not to do it again.”

Jesus, he makes David Beckham look like a shy, insecure man. What a media whore.

Well, you've got a massive corporate "BRISTOL" emblazoned on the Dolman seats, so someone isn't too concerned about the identity of the football club.

Speaking of losing your identity, any more news on your south gloucestershire bowl? Is your foriegn owner coughing up the cash yet?

The last time the deranged horse hitters were above us Joe Bryan was 7 years old.

Even in our darkest season of 82 we averaged more than you! Yet....

I know we mock R*vers support but massive respect to them for forking out an average of 4000 fans in their last season in their old 100 year old ground. Such a fantastic send off.

Can we park at the ground or should I just pay some urchin to protect my car for three hours?

I know you're trying to take the piss because we have more "posher" facilities than some gazebo, tent, white plastic chairs and 2 portoloos with shit and piss stains all over them but aren't you and your fellow horse hitters desperate for a move to South Gloucestershire to try and get rid of the Ragbag Rovers tag? Slightly hypocritical, no?

They haven't even averaged 8500 at home for 40+ years.. 

http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/brir.htm

The last time they were in our league they couldn't average 6,000.. surely a record low for a second tier club?

uh oh.....the dim-witted horse hitters now saying our away support at non league levels in proportion to our home crowds.......

 

at least they can claim to be experts in that field

Hate to think what they're saying about their own poor away following considering we have a much higher average attendance  this season than they do..
