The only reason you're on here is because you're seething. Your club is in the news for underpaying it's staff, hitting horses, racially abusing players, ours is in the news for beating one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Of course you're bitter, green with envy. It'll get better, don't worry. Doncaster on the weekend..

Now wait a minute - hitting horses, plural - I mean you seriously think a club would be in the national papers for hitting Police horses not once but twice ?

Anyway, the racial abuse, I mean it happens right ? We all hate it but there always seem to be low level racism amongst some neanderthals it's not like it is so bad at Rovers that the club had to make a press release to condone it or... oh  apparently they did, but mild racism, not like they are running around sexually assaulting people right... dammint        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2066560/Football-fan-gropes-mother-threes-breast-drunken-game-boob-cricket.html

 

they think they have the best fans, but continually pull Bristol's name through the mud in national papers because of their pathetic behaviour.

Personally, I have never claimed Rovers have bigger home/away attendances, and have always known City are the bigger club (though if talking number of fans when a nipper growing up in Redland..Rovers had more fans|)....we have as many delusional fans as you do..though I don't doubt the stats you could show...what gets me is the misunderstanding  on the 'jealousy' front...yes, we'd love what you have in terms of stadium/investment...but to be you/like you....nope...might be from the same City but we love our downtrodden roots...though there are many 'red' areas of Bristol I couldn't dream of living in when it comes to all that is downtrodden...

It may be unfashionable to say it but, with one or two exceptions, I thought the reactions on Gaschat were pretty respectful.  The discussion on how our success impacts on them is interesting, and perhaps i’m in a tiny minority but I respect any football fans who support their local club.  I’ve always enjoyed the rivalry with the Gas, it’s part and parcel of being a football fan.

You say rivalry, but even they dont see themselves as rivals any more.  The gap has grown too big for that. There may only be a league between us (more likely 3 leagues next season), but they realise that resistance is now futile as we head for the promised land and they head for 4th division obscurity.

Do Tranmere see Liverpool as rivals? I dont think so. Unless they can find a working Tardis, we are light years ahead of them now.

Certainly on that thread there were some very respectful comments at the beginning. Obviously a few dicks came along with their uneducated and bitter views later on as the situation got too much for them to take. The usual suspect were guilty, one 'Pompey' fan in particular. 

Thing is, they were coming out with the same stuff when we were approaching the Championship Play Off Final in 2008. Obviously the mask dropped as soon as the final whistle blew that day. 

One of the best things about last night was that it occurred to me as I walked out that all of my Gas inlaws and colleagues had sat in front of a telly for 93 minutes waiting to see City get heavily beaten and instead had to put up with the agony of a last minute City winner, brilliantly set up by Taylor of all players....and they all watched it. Happy Christmas.

And even better hopefully the kids will likely think "you mean there's a club like that here in Bristol?! With seats and indoor toilets?!" and maybe instead of becoming Gas and a Prem plastic decide instead to support a big but local team...

Anyone counting the number of fans at Gillingham knows their attendances are way below what they'll have you believe. 

And its their home attendances they need to concentrate on if they actually want to help the club.

I respect those that follow their local club, no issues there at all. It's the delusion and utter lies I find irritating, like the utter fool on Talksport this morning. Then again, they don't even irritate me any more as we know what we are and don't have to lie about it.

Most gasheads I know are sound, in the virtual world though, there are some serious spanners although their respect for our performance / result was a surprise.

To quote Mr Hitler..., One People, One State, One Leader/guide (translated from..."Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer)

This can be further interpreted in the Rovers Context as:

League One People, League One state (although Camp Site is more Tool Station Premier), League one Leader/guide

He also went on to construct his Lebensraum expression whilst in a meths induced stupor in the corner of the Tote End. He proposed that there was not enough space for the 1,000,000's of gas heads in Eastville and that Stapleton and St Werburghs should be earmarked for invasion to provide space for the hoards. The expression was taken up by the 32 fans present on the Tote that day. Indeed his premonition was not far of the mark as a mere 41 years after the end of WW2 Rovers fan base became too big for Bristol so they relocated to the city of Bath. This exile, interestingly, caused a further, unprecedented growth in Gasheads, who then populated the vast plains between Bath and Bristol in their hundreds of thousands. Due too traffic congestion it was though better to move away from the narrow Georgian streets of Bath to the Wide boulevards of Bristol. The board led the tribe back into Bristol and found a green space in Horfield, there they pitched their tents and there they remain.

Here's a quiz from their forum:-

1. Who scored Rovers first ever goal in the Conference and who were the opponents ?
2. Who did Rovers play in their only ever FA Trophy match and what was the final score ?
3. Name all the five substitutes for Rovers Conference final and name those subs who actually played ?
4. Who did Rovers play in their final Conference match and what was the score ?
5. Who scored the only goal in Rovers first league match after returning to League Two ?
6. In that final dramatic match of the 2016 season against Dagenham and Redbridge which saw Rovers promoted who’s shot hit the inside of the post before Lee Brown’s celebrated last gasp winner ?
7. What was the reason for Rovers match at Cambridge in October 2015 to be brought forward 24 hours ?
8. Who were Rovers young player and player of the Year in 2016 ?
9. Name the Rovers player who scored his country’s winning goal against Jordan to send him and his country to the 2010 World Cup finals ?
10. Which League club brought just 48 away fans to the Mem during 2015/16 season ?

Probably the most depressing quiz I've ever come across. I delighted to say I would have scored nought out if ten, as I lost the will to live after question one.

They absolutely HATE it when we get all the attention and great publicity in the media. Whether it's radio talk shows, Facebook, Twitter or various other platforms at least one always has to pipe up and talk an absolute load of bollocks that has no basis in fact whatsoever.

I can understand it in a way because spouting shit is probably the only thing that helps them sleep at night. The only thing that annoys me is that outsiders rarely challenge their lies despite the fact that they are so obviously lying.

IF they have a bigger fan base than us then how come they have only bettered our home average once in over half a century?

IF they take more away fans to games than us then why do the actual statistics show they average less than us on the road every single season and rarely sell out their allocations?

Maybe their fan base is bigger than ours but ours is just more loyal and maybe it's just that we can actually be bothered to show up and support our team on a Saturday? They can't have it both ways.

LJ, manager/head coach of a team on the up; support from his board and, latterly, the fans, third in the Championship, with an outside chance of promotion and a realistic chance of a play-off position, not to mention the fact they are in the League Cup semi finals, thinking of throwing it all in to manage a team with whom he has no history, Tammy notwithstanding (for the last few months of his loan), looking doomed to relegation.

It has just dawned on me, Weston super Mare used to play at Woodspring park from 1986 (currently play at Woodspring stadium since 2004, further along the road)

Woodspring park was built entirely fan funded starting from 1983 till 1986.

If they so desperately want a new stadium, surely their 3 blokes in the tent and the 20k locked out could over the years build a potty to build one themselves - having all that many fans to rival Barcelona and all it should be easy!!

How unusual, Its like there is no money at all. A viscious gerd ted might suggest that they are about to go into administration.

[Bar BS3]

It’s a big day for them today. Forget their result at Doncaster, if their Golden boy get’s a win over us st Loftus Road today, they will see that as some huge victory over us!

Who do they owe money to ? 

[WessexPest]

Up the Rovers!

From their FB page:

 

”Think we’ve been fooled again! We all thought Wael had lots of £ but now stadium news is quiet, progress on the pitch is stalling although I think replacing DC would set us back 5-10 years so that is not the answer!”

If that is true we really shouldn't be making fun of someone in that position. Depression is a nasty thing.
