Smaller than a flea Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hello dear friends. Nice to remember sellout crowds of the past. I'm sure we all want those days back. Hoping we tank Northampton tomorrow and their maverick George Best of the lower leagues - John-Joe O'Toole, who when he was with us said he wanted to be playing in the Championship. If only he'd stayed with us. Obviously I hope Forest win, but I fear it's three points for you. By the way, Ashton Gate looks a bit like the City Ground nowadays, don't you think?

John joe o'toole the player u lot were creaming yourselves over . Then your fans attacked him . You're not in the championship. And as a Bolton fan said your ground looks like Chernobyl. When u got something to debate properly we will discuss it . Until then stop chatting shit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean 'looks like' in the context of having permanent concrete and steel structures on all four sides. its generally the norm at our level old chap, but thanks for trying.

It happened whether you lot can remember or it or not. Complete nonsense, and once again makes a mockery of calling yourself Purple Paul. You're obviously very much a Rovers fan, so stop this ridiculous pretence that you support both Bristol clubs equally.

TV Tom Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 3 hours ago, 1960maaan said: Yep, I was at the Glos cup game and did the same. Think we won on Pens , then ran on at the end (14 at the time) they came on and chased us off the pitch, virtually all kids , I managed to hurdle the fence into the enclosure. As for every other game there, never had a problem, Although it came close when they played West ham one year...... that's another story. EDIT: BTW for a matter of interest as they think this pisstake thread is obsession rather than comedy gold. I made it through the first 3 thread on their gAssHat forum before giving up. Surprise , surprise all 3 end up mentioning us... Deluded, pathological lairs , obsessed and hypocritical , sums it up I think. Haha I was probably on he pitch with you, there for the WHU game as well after our game at the Saints was called off at the last minute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye then. 10 hours ago, Smaller than a flea said: Few posters looking at those photos and secretly thinking "hmm they do look a bit alike actually". Goodnight. Welcome... oh goodbye.... Yes they look similar as in the are structures containing banks of seats inside a steel and concrete structure that provides walk ways / concourse / toilets / food and drink facilities. The design inside and outside - not really, similarities in that there is only so much you can do to individualise a stadium, but the West Stand looks pretty unique, the South Stand has a nice clean sleek line to it both inside and out... Dolman / Atyeo - well they were built pretty much as a standard build in the days - rolled out all over the country, but I fullly expect them to be unique - though I expect them to remain for a long time as I have a suspicion the ground will be re-orientated at some point in the future !

italian dave Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 The Dolman was anything but "standard build" at the time it was built. One of the very first with no pillars, multi purpose (bowls) etc. It was way ahead of its time. Just that it was built a long time ago, and that time has has passed and moved on since! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a standard build in that it was rolled out in indenti-kit format across the country.... it may have been ahead of it's time in design, but that exact design was put up all over the country. Something can be new and innovative without being unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it became the standard design, but maybe in 5 years everyone will be putting up Lansdown stands!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton sounds about right. Probably '79-ish? We ended up in the side enclosure and I remember a motley stream of laughing West Ham fans being led past us down to the Muller Road end after making their presence felt in the Tote End. Being in amongst them, my abiding memory of that game has always been what an odd lot most of the Rovers fans were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
