A lot of teams in recent years have had successive promotions from non-league to League One. Seems to be one of the easier leagues to get out of.

To be fair.

Its fair to say if you can't get playoffs in league two,how bad are you??...and seventh is good enough..

It can't be scripted, they just keep on giving.

My personal favourites 

"Think it was said around the time they announced plans for ashton vale. Well, people are talking about us worldwide now!!"

and

"Our bloke got his own bank so AV a bit of that Lansdown!!"

 

They're a brilliant bunch.  Long live the gas.

Well SL was basically right as when (if) they ever move to the UWE Bristol Rovers will never be spoken of again, as they will surely use their new name of South Gloucestershire Rovers.

Obviously when they finally go bust, no-one will ever speak of them again anyway.

And also; why, when Bristol Rovers achieved planning permission to redevelop the Memorial Stadium in 2007, are they still at the Memorial Stadium with no redevelopment or new stadium in sight and have they still not overtaken Bristol City leaving us trailing in their wake?

Tis all terribly strange

Yeh you're right.

Even inhabitants in the remotest parts of Timbucktu, Irian Jaya, Patagonia and Borneo think you're just a bunch of deluded, in-bred morons.

Next you'll be telling us that members of the Intergalactic Federation and the Spiritual Hierarchy have nothing more important to discuss than Sagarama.

Another totally clueless post from Sagchat.....

in 2009 Bristol City were 10th in the Championship and he sold shares in his Company to invest over £40 miillion in the club and its new ground. 1n 2016 after investing his money , they are 19th in the Championship and they have a ground which may have been spruced up very well but is in every respect an old fashioned set up. The infrastructure remains unchanged with poor vehicular access and inadequate parking. The facilities are such that its main source of income is only ever going to be football. A modern football stadium needs to move with the times and become multi-fuctional.

I love the way they say 'spruced up' as if the grounds just had a coat of paint :) Ashton gate is a proper football ground, we have an abundance of pubs around the ground and we are still playing at our ancestral home... There is an atmosphere present as is true with all proper football grounds and totally the opposite for the new soulless bowl type blue print that see's different grounds up and down the country with the only difference being the colour of the seats or a Homebase or B and Q.....The Jealousy is enormous bless them..

Ill take Our home over any of them thank you!!

I'm pretty sure UWE will be built now. Can't see it being bigger than AG though. I'm sure the original capacity was chosen by NH as 21,700, because pre-redevelopment your capacity was 21,490. There is room for a second tier taking it to about 26,000 and potential for a third to take it to 35,000. Can't see Wael trying to cram in an extra 1,001 seats just to play our ground's bigger than yours. Doesn't seem to be his style.

In all Honesty 21,700 is far to big for you guy's... 26,000 would be ridiculous!

So Wael's "style" is what? Having no real money to pay for it?

If you had the Camp Nou as your ground you'd still say it was too small.

Worry about the Emperors New Clothes paying for it before how many seats you'll need.

The infrastructure remains unchanged with poor vehicular access and inadequate parking.

That could describe Anfield, Goodison, White Hart Lane or Chelsea etc, surely they are not suggesting that their school sports ground will be better than those grounds just because they have a car park?  

The facilities are such that its main source of income is only ever going to be football. A modern football stadium needs to move with the times and become multi-fuctional.

Have they not seen the facilities that are already available and will only increase once the West Stand is finished? They are the epitome of what a modern multi functional stadium should provide. Their facilities will be difficult to access during term time, due to traffic and parking restrictions.

Exactly this ^^^

Aren't we also holding 4 concerts a year and building a Hotel on the wicks site?.... 

One thing that is blatantly clear about Rovers fans and this has been the case for quite some time is that they only see what they want to see and choose to ignore the blatantly obvious!!

The facilities, once your redevelopment is complete, will be excellent. Some Rovers fans will know this and refuse to acknowledge it simply because you are the 'other lot'. You can see plenty examples of City fans holding similar anti-Rovers views (not surprisingly on a City forum) on this thread.

As far as I'm concerned, the better facilities the Greater Bristol area has for sport, and infrastructure in general, the better.

I'm glad we've redeveloped rather than move to a place in the middle of nowhere with no chance of a pre match pint in a decent pub

Give me that over MK Dons where your choice is either Frankie and Bennys or TGI Fridays

More delusion; http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/6521/nomads

We have played at eastville, twerton and the mem and have probably acquired fans from all of these areas. With a move to uwe around the corner we will be moving to another area of the city and more than likely attracting fans from there. Also students who while studying at uwe I'm sure will be interested in watching a few games. Our fan base around the city and beyond will be growing all the time.

The whole student thing is a big myth my opinion. My university has a link with Charlton Athletic but no many go to games because they are either busy on weekends (normally hungover) or see their own teams. I've been to one or two games don't get me wrong, but I've probably only contributed about £20 to the club due to their cheap ticket prices.

Ground capacity will be 27,000 next season. I am assuming that 'football capacity' will be more like 25,000 due to segregation. There are loads of variables like night games, atrocious weather, poor form etc but all things being equal we should attract 25,000 gates for Cardiff, Newcastle, Aston Villa and possibly QPR, Derby and Forest. Not sure we'll reach 25,000 for the mighty Burton Albion.

2,000 seats lost to segregation?! That's half the Atyeo gone! Surely no more than a few hundred.

Serious point, do you think the reduced AG capacity would have enticed fans to get STs and bump up the attendance in the event that if you had a good season they wouldnt be scrabbling for tickets.

How many STs did you sell out of interest?

This is an interesting point and there may be some truth in it. However, as a member rather than STH, in my experience just being a member has been enough to guarantee a ticket even this season. This is proven by the fact that all of our matches have, I believe, reached general sale, rather than sold out to members.

Since membership is a no-brainier for any fan attending more than 2 or 3 games, this does also suggest that we might not see that big an increase in attendance next season. Perhaps some STH will drop down to member level next season with the pressure on availability now gone.

I expect us to average around 16-17k unless we are pushing for promotion.

They've picked up fans from Eastville, Twerton and the Memorial? 

So that's why they sell out every game then.

A gentleman on the Bristol Post website used to post regularly about the insufficient revenue generation potential from the proposed UWE Stadium facilities and how the plan was flawed due to duplication of facilities which were already well established on the Frenchay campus. His words appear to be prophetic because it is proving extremely difficult to interest financiers in the project. What may be required is a cash injection from a local businessman with experience of the construction industry who has recently received an unexpected cash windfall ?

I actually took Advanced Gasonometry as an option at college. I don't remember all of it but a typical question was:

Away Games:

3,000 travelling gasheads arrive at Wycombe (three part question, 12 points available)

a) If the away capacity is 2,500 how many fans are locked out, and how many is this reported as being in the Bristol Evening Post (2 points each, 4 points in total)

b) How many police horses will be punched after the game if (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

c) How many sheeds will have been in the home end if  (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

That`s now been disproved by the latest research at CERN. Apparently the strong gravitational field theory was flawed and it turns out that when you factor in string theory the million is actually worth the square root of **** all. Professor Brian Cox is going to do a programme on it for `Made In Bristol`.

It's all a matter of semantics,  Ed.

In America,  a billion is defined as a million millions, however this side of the pond the standard definition is 1000 million. 

In Jordan and Horefield, £63 million = multiple billions.

Tricky stuff Eddie, that certainly is advanced Gasonometry....I'll have a crack anyway;

A) (i) 500 are actually locked out, however as we know that this figure is way too low you MUST find out how many "they gert ******* SHIT EDS" (tgfSe) last took to Wycombe** and add at least 1000. Anything above this figure is considered correct.

(tgfSe) + 1000 > = Gas locked out

** obsession and knowledge of Bristol City's away attendances are considered 'basic' Gasonometry. A good, true Gashead will instantly know exactly how many fans we took on our last visit to Adams Park. 

(ii) the figure printed by the Evening Post will, coincidentally, be the same as the figure conjured up by the cretins on Slagchat who have used the formula in the section above.

B) (i) as many as possible "horsey SHIT ED ***t s"

(ii) 82

(ii) depends how many sheed Horses are in the home end who just come to watch da gas. 

C) (i) 2000..."HA HA LMFAO GUTED SHIT EDZ LOOOL"

(i) 50-100

(iii) 0....the home end was full of Gasheads who weren't included in the away crowd figures so that's another 2000+ to add on to the Rovers away total. No actual proof for number of Gasheads in the home end is required. If 'tgfSh' don't believe you whilst asking you to "prove it" immediately stamp feet, call 'tgfSh' "jealous of Irene n da famous quarterz" and ask if Bristol City have ever taken 80,000 to Wembley for a League 2 Play Off final?

Am I right? :blink::facepalm:

Have you forgotten Boyle's Law? What did you do in physics lessons at school?

Boyle's Law - The pressure of gas increases as the volume decreases. Using this, I've calculated that the answer is linked to the phases of the moon

I actually took Advanced Gasonometry as an option at college. I don't remember all of it but a typical question was:

Away Games:

3,000 travelling gasheads arrive at Wycombe (three part question, 12 points available)

a) If the away capacity is 2,500 how many fans are locked out, and how many is this reported as being in the Bristol Evening Post (2 points each, 4 points in total)

b) How many police horses will be punched after the game if (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

c) How many sheeds will have been in the home end if  (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

I'm told they took 700 today. Joking aside that's a tremendous effort.

it also means 700 very miserable journeys home, delicious.

That's a long old jaunt. Lucky they don't have jobs to get up for in the morning
