i want cardiff to win, they are the lesser of two evils and the manager not deemed good enough for the gase would get one over his former club, I then want us to draw them in the next round only for them to be thrown out giving us a bye to the 3rd round

Cardiff in the city of Bristol playing in red.

Ticket Sales

Looks like record numbers will be locked out against Cardiff. But mostly because they have forgotten to buy a ticket.

[Ian M]

They think it can't be made pay on the day because that will allow Cardiff fans to buy tickets joining them in the away end once the Cardiff stands are sold out.

1) It's the League Cup First Round

2)They're Bristol Rovers, not Man Utd

3) There won't be any space for Cardiff in the away end once all the "Faithful and True" supporters are in there.

According to a poster on there, anybody who knows anything about football knows they have respectable support. Oh dear

[Gazred]

It's clearly a big game for them and they were looking to sell out.

Surely it should be an "All Tent" match and not all ticket.

[SirColinOfMansfield]

Based on all their FaceBook likes, there are well over 3,000 coming just from Indonesia for the Cardiff match ... after all why would you like them if you are not willing to attend every match...

... so Wally has specially commissioned the planes and they are already in place on the tarmac ...

I wasn’t going to post on here today because I realize that lampooning Rovers to get a serious point of view into the public arena is not something which is popular with everyone and can maybe get a bit stale. In fact ( better I say it before anyone else does) should a City fan go on a Rovers forum and write in the style I do he or she wouldn’t be very popular here.

But I do feel Danny, Phil and the flea should have a response.

It’s not the South West Stand which is the problem nor the canopy, the Facebook likes or any of the other mind numbing stuff which comes out of Rovers. It is the boasting about and drawing attention to our weak points which niggles me. We shouldn’t be serving these things up on a plate to our detractors. Just as Nicholas used to open his mouth and present countless gifts to our rivals Wael is allowing the same to happen now. Only today Darrell is quoted as saying “it’s not if it’s when” about new signings which is exactly the phrase Nicholas used about his ill fated stadium dream. Doesn’t anyone at Rovers think about these things ?

I know there is a hard core of fans who will see no wrong in anything Rovers do no matter how absurd it is. But equally I’m convinced there is a quiet majority who cringe about the amateurish approach just as I do. The perception of Rovers as a cheap rag bag club is being allowed to continues and the effect is two fold. Firstly, if results start to go the wrong way many fans will have had their confidence damaged by these self inflicted wounds and so will turn their discontent on the team and manager much more quickly than they would otherwise be expected to. Secondly, the lackluster view of Rovers in the wider community will remain unchanged and so, in the longer term, persuading new fans to become associated with our club will be much more difficult than it should be.

If you are looking for something positive then I suggest we stop making ourselves look ridiculous by boasting about putting hand dryers in the ladies toilets and try something like this :  

 

 

• Find a good cause in North Bristol with which a genuine connection can be made
• One with which our owner, staff and supporters can feel a genuine affinity
• Use professional help to explore possibilities of involvement with that good cause
• Find how a Rovers connection can make a positive impact on that good cause
• In conjunction with the good cause prepare a long term plan for co-operation
• Make a commitment in cash and man hours to implement that plan
• Make sure the Club President takes a personal interest in the venture
•  Use a professional agency to publicise the association between Rovers and the good cause
• Hire an A list celebrity for the opening launch to ensure maximum media exposure
• Allocate competent management to oversee the long term development of the relationship with the good cause
• Ensure adequate involvement of the owner, staff and supporters in the continuing relationship with the good cause
• Make sure the publicity regarding the relationship with the good cause is imaginative, sustained and of high quality
• Demonstrate to sports fans across the whole of Bristol that our President’s February 2016 commitment to promote Rovers active participation in the community is being fulfilled.   

        

You better put yourself forward as director. Top post , lots of sense .

What I can't believe Phil is that you are so typical of most gas heads. You have your head buried so deeply in the sand it's unreal. You seem to believe all the crap that's being spouted about evolution not revolution etc etc.   It's appears common knowledge now to most sensible people that wally has no money to speak of , in football terms anyway.  Personally I think Higgs done him like a kipper. Ask yourself, if he was so rich why buy rovers instead of the likes of villa or Leeds or forest ? Why did Gillingham turn him down. Why the hell would he buy the club before the court appeal with sainsburys ? . It doesn't add up to be honest. Lastly why tart up the memorial ground if a new ground was  2,3 or even 4 years away from completion . Like I said , it doesn't make sense.

Why bother? We beat them relatively easily a couple of seasons ago, we have consistently been the best side for over a decade, we have nothing to prove and only a fan riot/ injuries/ suspensions to gain. If they are ever in the same league as us again the. We have something to prove and a genuine rivalry again. Until then they have a tent and a fake sheik...

And I agree progress is progress and given how you started in the Banarama league I suspect that it's more than most sensible fans believed possible with one very important caveat.

UWE should be signed and sealed by now, I just don't understand why you need investment or how somebody so rich cannot fund it and your chairman stating that no one person could possibly fund such an undertaking, none of that sentence makes any sense and the last part is totally untrue.

Your fan base in the main appear to believe that he is a billionaire, even the accurate Evil Post keep calling him a billionaire owner, even though he has said that he isn't, to say i'm confused.com is an understatement add that to your meagre summer recruitment something certainly does not add up.

I think we all know that if this fixture happened, we would beat you with a disputed 94th minute scrambled toe-punt from Matty Taylor, against the run of play.  One empty seat in the Dolman would be proof that City can never fill Ashton Gate, and a police dog barking at someone wearing a blue and white shirt would be proof that the whole animal kingdom support the poor horses.

I know it's only a sad little forumite, but wouldn't it serve them right if the club called them out on these sort of stories and sued. I am sure the money for a game like that would have been split out the same way it was at Hengrove, profits to them and other grassroots football in the area. 
Someone should post the positive stuff Hengrove officials said about us after the community game. Thats the real story.

The post could have said absolutely anything and they just all chirp away "dirty 82ers" "horrible club" "delusions of grandeur". I just think they would spread a rumour about absolutely anything that tried to tarnish our club however ridiculous.
