More inane ramblings from Gaschat:

 

I think we have a psychological issue when we play ‘big’ clubs in big stadiums away from home in the league.
Have we played in a game like this and brought back all 3 points since Southampton in 2009?

Norwich away - lost.
Leeds away - drawn and lost.
Sheffield W away - lost.
Sheffield U away - lost.
Bolton away - drew.
Portsmouth away - always lose.
Millwall - always lose.
MK Dons - drawn and lost.
Charlton away - lost.
Coventry away - lost.
Blackburn away - lost.

Maybe I’m talking rubbish because I suppose by definition an away game at a big ground is one that we’re not likely to be favourites in, but we do seem to make a habit of being the ‘plucky loser’ in matches like this (today being another example).
 

#1  - Surely just about every stadium they go to is "big" compared the tiny dump they play in 

#2 - They are not making a habit of being "plucky losers" in matches like Blackburn today - they are making a habit of being losers in every match regardless of opposition (and long may it continue all the way back to the basement league)

Notice the way he says "big" clubs implying that he thinks the sags are on a par with the clubs on that list?  Delusional.

We want and need DC. DC needs players that want to wear the blue and white squares in the premiership.

The only way the "famous quarters" are being worn in the Premiership is if Chelsea and the Gas swap kits when Abramovich loses a poker game with Wally...

Unlikely given he seems to be the AQ family's idiot, so much that they've mortgaged a My Little Football Club to keep him busy!

Desperate times over there. Just the small matter of winning enough games to exit League One from the top end then laying waste the Championship, 'cludin they gert derty Teds. Cue gales of laughter from EPL HQ.

To be fair to the gash, had 1,300 at Blackburn today. Decent following

Novelty value of visiting a big ground they haven’t been to for 25 years, exactly like their trip to Wolves. Every lower league club has a ‘decent’ following for those matches. When they went to Scunthorpe, Bury, Bradford and Rochdale Gasheads weren’t so interested.

He's now deleted the tweet...

Yes.

Probably because a load of Gasheads decided the only way they could react to that tweet was to accuse Matthias Kurth of sexually abusing children. 

What a bunch of crybaby pricks they are. I’m sure that’s another reason why they are so apparently admired all over the country.

With our popular Goal gifs, local media taking the piss and former City players rubbing it in, Twitter isn’t a very happy place for them at the moment.

DC's cautious approach nearly worked at Scunthorpe and it nearly worked at Blackburn.

I realise 'nearly worked' doesn't get any points, but the hammerings away from home have stopped, so that's progress of a sort.

 

Let’s hope they can keep up such levels of progress..!

Being one point above the relegation zone in league one, and being happy with a loss because you didn't lose by that many, is not really what you'd expect from the 6th richest club in the entire country.

I love the fact they're all so positive, want they dopey one to stay despite 1 point from the last 7 games, and are going on about how well they played yesterday.  Successful sides can win when they don't play well.  Then you have R*****s.

Dopey could be on the verge of history.  Has any manager taken a side out of and back into the same league from both directions???

That was very cruel. AD built a side  on a limited budget to get into what was then Division 1 (level 1) and managed  to stay there for 4 years. Clarke has done well, but all he has managed to do is get into League 1 (level 3)

To be fair, Daryll also has a very limited budget.

Which is surprising. Considering just how wealthy they think they are.

The gift that keeps on giving. From their forum:

"...early days but is this the key decision in an upturn in our fortunes? It reminds me of the old Glen Miller film...."

Spoiler Alert, but the movie ends 'disappeared without trace'.

Second thoughts, perhaps it is a good analogy...

The best way to actually make some money in the lower leagues is to be like Yeovil continually yo-yoing up and down so you get the packed houses of promotion seasons every two or three years, be like Crewe in selling your best players at top dollar, and supplement it with the occasional cup run whilst all the time keeping your costs really tight.

So the owners are going to be, in private, fine with relegation this season because they sold a lot of STs on the back of last season's promotion and, back in Div 4, they can have another good season and sell a lot more.

Hamer was very explicit about their lack of ambition and the reason for it; and it should be on their club badge as a permanent reminder of their status:

Championship Clubs Lose Money

They have now lost more games than any side in League 1, in fact in all the leagues only Crewe and Port Vale have lost more so far this season. Unless of course the gasheads want to bring in the National League (or league 5 as I believe they call it),  in which case all their recent records are improved. For example, they haven't actually been knocked out of the cup by a non-league side recently.

Think it's been too much, too soon for so many Gash. The despair of dropping out of the league then back to back promo & new Middle Eastern owners, more money than anyone has ever seen, expected to "do a Lansdown + 50%". The Teds struggling so in a season or two we'd be lost in their slipstream. All those hopes & no fears. Not only coming for us but batting us aside as they stride forward. Now the bitterness knows no bounds. 

See AFC Wimbledon plan a new stadium on Plough Lane, their rightful home. Watch out for BRFC making a bid for a corner of the Eastgate car park. Knowing them they'll just move in & stick up some posts. Their rightful home, innit?

Get that to a point, but I have a feeling central revenue (or the money from the EFL) drops by over a million on relegation, and whilst a winning league 2 side might see a few more turn up, I doubt the crowds will be as strong as they are at the moment, especially when you factor in away support.

Long story short, they will lose a load of money if they get relegated.

I’m pretty sure they refer to it as “the Prem” and they think its realistic to get back there within 5 years.

There are two screenings of Love Actually in Bristol in the lead up to Christmas. One is at the Colston Hall with a full orchestra playing all of the soundtrack in time with the film. Truly spectacular, but at £49.50 a ticket it's a bit pricey.  The cheaper option is to pay £20 to sit in your own car, in the car park at the R*vers ground,  while you pretend to be Hugh Grant and your missus pretends to be Devine Brown.  :whistle:

One of that mobs players Chris Lines( one of their own) is in the Football League paper today saying that Rovers fans need to lower their expectations and realise just how far they have come in a short space of time and its time for a reality check, " now we are going to places like Blackburn and Wigan" he said. I thought they were the biggest and richest club in that league  !!

Nigel Clough nailed it yesterday when he gave an interview post match after Burton lost against Sunderland. You have to be realistic and say Bristol City will have bigger support, a bigger budget and will attract bigger name players as they are ambitious today and not 5 - 10 years down the line. This is another reason Bristol Rovers will not ever be about. The city  tick tock

Rovers only selling point to a player is that he might get regular football and will be in the shop window for a better opportunity with a big club at South of the river in the future. Rovers certainly have a track record for producing players who go on to brighter futures eg Mat Taylor

Probability would see Rovers expecting to lose more than win against bigger clubs.   But even that is in the balance with the latest lack of progression updates money UWE ground improvements etc.

Taken from gas chat and added a bit just to take the Micky

Almost word for word and only slightly paraphrased

Geoff – is the club paying interest to Dwaine Sports or anyone else on that loan?

Hamer – the club has a notional, (he repeated) notional, which is never drawn down (but didn’t exactly say what it was), but is set in place, but the reason is if it was equity then obviously it is non recoverable but it could be perceived as a loan if you like its not drawn down and it’s not damaging the finances of the football club, but eventually if the club were ever to arrive in the Premier League and if the owners believed it was right to repay the loan that they have accrued over a period of time then they have every right to do so.

Hamer - It’s not money that has been received weekly/monthly/yearly, it’s notional and can be drawn or has been accrued as and when they want to do it.

So there you go then, from the proverbial horses (punchers) mouth and of course I believe him - no interest has been paid to date and will only be due when the Gas reach the Premier League.

Sorry that this episode of Jackonary was on so long after your bedtime, but I have no reason to doubt Mr Hamer and why should I!

Oh and yes, Mr Hamer as an after dinner speaker?

I’m glad I haven’t attended some of the earlier posters diners and that’s coming from someone who has had the misfortune of hearing Norman Collier as an after dinner speaker.

And fortunately the Wheel Tappers & Shunters Club was well before most of OTIB’s followers time!!!!
 

Someone will correct me if my understanding is  wrong .....

As I understand it then the no interest claim dpfrom some deluded Sags is nonsense

there is interest , but instead of calling it in monthly / annually the Sheikhs are cleverly increasing the loan by not calling it in but allowing it to accrue on top of that already loaned

In essence the debt is growing day by day

I know your sentence about only calling in the debt when they reach the Premier League which is a p take about what Hamer waffle about , but in reality they can call it in at any moment they get any form of cold feetand I would assume when the debt approaches the estimated value of the Minimal Dump the warning klaxons be sounding and red lights will be flashing

Debt accruing without any feasible plan or idea how to stem the bleed or turn the situation around

A disillusioned manager and staff and fan base 

 

As a result of posts on this thread I listened to both Clarke and Hamers interviews with GT

All the indicators are that they are deep in the mire or very close to very deep and if I was a SAG I'd be seriously concerned for the immediate leg along long term future 

  :whistle:

 

 

 

Oh well

It just proves what we already know that for them it`s all about us. They couldn`t give a shit about how dreadful their own side are and how they`re being bent over like a cheap crack whore by Wally so long as they can have a good old sing-song about the dirty teds.

Glad you added the edit because I was wondering. I'm writing a book, well more like a pamphlet, about Bristol Rovers and their Supporters. I'm calling it "We Are The Gutter, But Some Us Us Are Facedown In A Massive Turd". I had reasonable statistics regarding average gashead IQs but your data will really help as I've now got IQ estimates for 24 Gasheads, just need to track down the other 2 and I'll have all of them.
