Cider red Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Gas harping on about attendances is boring, we averaged 12k when we were at the bottom of league 1 two years ago, a sellout at the mem wouldn't even get that! Wow they took 400 to Morecombe and we took 370 to burnley, maybe the fact that were used to playing these teams and they are enjoying all these new grounds in the fl has something to do with it?

The City Council came up with a sum of money to help us out but Rovers moaned like mad that they should get the same sum of money so the offer was withdrawn by the Council and then the Gas tried to buy our beloved home ground on the cheap knowing we were desperate. Southampton and Ipswich rallied round to help us out by staging a friendly at The Gate and we kept all the gate receipts. A grand and appreciated gesture. But the Blue Few from north of the river just hovered around like vultures, true to form, picking at the carcass of our financial plight. If I've got any of that wrong I apologise and I'd welcome anyone else's views to either agree with my recollections or correct them.

I think it's more about the fact that BCFC closed down and rose from the ashes as BCFC 1982 during that period - although personally that's not something that I feel the need to "bang on about". Both clubs find out who the true fans are when times are tough. I would guess that as you have the larger fanbase, you will logically retain a larger number of fans when the chips are down? I say fair play to anybody who doesn't jump ship and become an armchair supporter of a premiership club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me you prefer gruel to a porterhouse at Peter Lugers. The underdog thing is so boring, if we go down and you go up, you won't be underdogs like you weren't through the times of my youth, you will be on a level PLAYING field, the only thing that will remain the same is we will be better supported, in a better financial state, not the underdog just forever in our shadow.

swampy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I for one - a City fan since 63 - genuinely hope to see the two Bristol teams in the same division next season. City have been so arrogant with their new ground, Bristol Sports Franchise, Bristol Academy Ladies being re-branded as Bristol City .. Then on the forum we had 'Non League Bristol Rovers' followed by 'Basement Bristol Rovers' .. next season will be?? There is so much pathetic stuff on here .. I would far rather see half of Bristol wearing blue and white quarters than the numbskulls with their Premiershit shirts on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that would be achieved is if we are relegated. If you genuinely hope to see that then it's laughable to call yourself a fan.

I actually thinking they are wanking over the blue portacabin in the left hand side of the picture, it's probably their new new hospitality box or sports bar! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think they'll go up personally. At least SL will have his stadium relatively full for one game in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has one of them gone to football wearing their mothers handbag? Most of them are just standing there pretending to piss on the gates - why would you lie about taking a leak?

Anybody able to explain/expand. I believe that after City were wound up and before the City(1982) version was launched, a Rovers director (can't remember which one) approached the liquidators with an offer of £100,000 for Ashton Gate. The offer was rejected and the re-formed club acquired the ground. Obviously whether this is viewed as an attempt to 'steal' the ground, or a logical attempt to acquire the only available football stadium in Bristol by a team that didn't own one, probably depends on who you support. For what it's worth I wouldn't want to watch Rovers at Ashton Gate, anymore than most City supporters would want Eastville to have been home.

It all ended up ok though for you, you managed to steal the rugby ground instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Phil, I can't quote your post if you don't quote mine correctly. To us it's a derby match, it's our biggest derby match I would say especially after the rather drab affair we had in Cardiff a couple of months ago...I'll give you that. However to us it represents a failure on our part, whilst to you it seems to be the pinnacle of your ambitions. "this time next year" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no piss on the floor? The more logical explanation is that "has heads" like to come and admire our stadium after watching their team play. Look like groupies that have been locked out.
