"Worth noting that all the teams with higher attendances have large all seater stadia. It's hard for us to average over 10 000 when that's not far off capacity."

 

Is it just me that can't find any logic in this?

Of course there is logic to it, GASLOGIC Innit.

Can't they just buy 2 tier, Championship ready tents and double their capacity? Seems just as logical: if you erect the tents they will come and all that.

Judging by our Chairman's remarks at the club's AGM tonight this may not be too far removed from the truth.

I see on their forum they are reminiscing days gone by as usual about 1990. Well done boys, but lets not forget tomorrow is the anniversary of your great relegation to nowhere.

Fwiw i'd take losing 3-0 to them and them winning the league for us to then have 17 years of us consistently being above them. Worth it.

Yes, since 1990 they've been in the wilderness ever since. We effectively relegated the scum three years later, effectively clinched promotion by beating them in 1998, saw them drop into the Basement in 2001, almost saw them drop out of the league altogether over the next two seasons (b***** Rammell), and stayed at least a division ahead of them every step of the way, with their delicious drop into the Conference being the icing on the cake. 

Would I swap 1990 for us winning 3-0 at Barf and taking the title, only for our respective histories to be reversed over the ensuing quarter century? I should coco.

Although do confess a teeny bit of envy at not having achieved the following:-

KO from the Worthington Cup before the first round

FA Trophy first round runners-up

Not having as many Facebook friends as them

I see no one is posting the results of the AGM last night, that can only mean bad news,

ie: bigger debt, no uwe, no investment, 

Next you will be told that the Mem has been sold to cover costs and you're homeless again accept you've pissed off just about every local club so you don't have the option of a ground share this time

Do they still publish their fanzine '2nd of May' or was that cancelled?

Its better than fiction, at times with that lot.  If I wrote it as a noval critics would be saying things like "nice idea, but too far fetched" and "ridiculous!".  "Where the xxxx did you get headbutting a mini bus from?" and "signing the player that sent you down?".  

No wonder they hate us but it's not our fault we have neighbours of such ineptitude.

So they celebrate a bloke who scored a goal who stopped us getting in the PREMIERSHIP. And we celebrate a bloke who scored the goal that sent them into the CONFERENCE. Wearing a rovers shirt. :rofl2br::rofl2br::rofl2br:. Gaslogic right

All they have is straws to clutch. They celebrate 2nd May when it was also the date that Wycombe sent them to the basement division for the first time in their history, after always telling us that they had never been in the 4th, then suddenly they didn't even have that to throw at us anymore. Let them carry on celebrating Wycombe Wanderers day and we'll keep on celebrating Sir Colin in a Rovers shirt day! All they have left is 82 which is ludicrous considering we have done more since 1982 than they have done in their entire history, Dean Windass - Oh that was the day they all shit themselves until the game was over, and Rickie Lambert's goal that helped them become runners up in a competition that we have won more times than anyone else and appeared in more finals than anyone else.....They are that much of a joke! Hilarious

Update from someone at the AGM ...

"I was there last night and all the same questions were asked and all the same answers were given. Both parties working hard to conclude a deal etc...... WAQ was there last night handing out £50 notes and Rolex watches and was his usual good humored self but Steve Hamer did most of the talking. SH did say he spoke to Joe Lumley after Sundays game and the JL said he has enjoyed his time here and would like to return to Rovers next season if something can be worked out with Absolutely Fabulous. One thing I found interesting was that we are still receiving payments for Scott Sinclair which in 2017 will total £50,000 (Bristol Rovers money) or £4.99 in real money. How or who is making these payments I'm not sure, I'm assuming it's the local benefits office. Training ground planning application going in, in the next 5-6 weeks and then it will take 12-16 weeks to get through the South Glos planning process by the time they have finished laughing. Mem pitch to get a new £80,000 drainage system installed over the close season to get the pitch ready for the Championship next season. Not much else to report really."

Apparently the mem pitch is getting a championship ready drainage system next season. Mind the gap

... at a cost of £80,000 prompting one of them to write "80k in the footballing world isnt really a lot of money. Dont think the Al Qadis would miss it."

Oh yes they would. It would be £80K more than they've spent to date.

To be fair, If City had got to the Premier League it would've had disastrous consequences for the Gas. They probably would've had to regularly play in front of sub 10k home crowds and they might even have ended up suffering the ultimate humiliation of dropping out of the entire league...

....oh wait

umm

In honour of Sir Daniels day I am going to keep with tradition and blame everyone else for shortcomings today. 

I was late for work this morning because I overslept. I told my boss that the reason I couldn't get to sleep until the early hours was because my bastard neighbours had a house party....5 years ago.

Don't you mean nearly 17 years ago..? 6,030 days ago, to be exact.

Ha, well you could use that. :thumbsup:

I was thinking more of the Gas attempting to save their own skins in 2014 by trying to shaft Wycombe.

We could go on all day listing references that we could use...!
