Commas may be placed after the closing parenthesis but not before either the opening or the closing parenthesis. If the sentence would not require any commas if the parentheses were removed, the sentence should not have any commas when the parentheses are present.

 

Have I got way too much time on my hands………..???????

If Rovers went bankrupt, after 3 years in the football league, would they recover like we did? I don’t think so. 

Didn’t “The Eight” tearing up their contracts mean that we did NOT go bust..? 

I know we started a new company, but surely we didn’t go bust, or we’d have lost our league status & ground etc. 

We reformed, under a new company, like we have again since (under SL’s umbrella companies) and like Rovers have done, under Dwayne sports..?

Anyone else see this guy when hearing of Dwayne Sports ?

He has his Rovers thermos for the cold weather.

Facts, figures & the resulting future of both times shows that this is completely false but they do like to re-write history..

 


We call them the 82ers because they turned their backs on their club in their darkest times.
They call us the 15 ers because we stood strong and supported our club during our darkest time.
Makes sense :laugh:.

Just had a quick peek at their "forum".

Amazing, so many deluded idiots in one place. 

Apparently, according to that **** in Henbury, their owners could pay off the clubs debts tomorrow if they wanted 

 Yeah, right. Where's Wally ? Gone a bit quiet aint he ? Wonder why ? They should be demanding answers from their owners to some basic questions such as;

Why is the football club paying for an office in London costing 250k per annum ? Are you planning to sell the Mem Land and the football club, or just the Mem land ?

The thick dullards have no idea just how precarious a position they are in.

Boring idiots, they come out with the same shit every year.

First it was “Lansdown is going to pull the plug any day now”

Now it’s “he cares more about the Rugby and he’ll stop putting money into the Football Club”

Every single year.

Every year he proves them wrong.

If they had any brains they’d stop predicting financial ruin for us (without any evidence) and concentrate on their own future.  Those Arab owners of theirs couldn’t seem less interested if they tried...that embarrassing new tent proves that.

They all believe him though as well. Imagine a company the size of bcfc using a back street computer repair shop . I’m not sure how it works but surely they have all computers/it with a multinational company that deals with any problems as part of the contract. No not according to that ******* ??

Today’s comedians.....

1.When we are in a real mess, the fans rally. Picking stones off the pitch at Twerton, Raise The Roof, the Share scheme etc.

When SL leaves, what is going to happen to City? His son took over for 3 months with the 3 Pillars speeches (or whatever) and almost got them relegated.

City fans I know don't rate his son, so if tries to follow his Dads mantle, they fear it could all go Pete Tong. With City's fickle fans if they get relegated with large wages, they do a 82 all over again.

City's fanbase may have the numbers, but they don't have anyone like Gordon Bennett, Ray Kendall, Steve Burns, Jim Chappell, the 50/50 sellers, the people who do their bit on the forums etc, people who devote hours unpaid year in year out and that is why they could soon be in real trouble. 

Didn't Gooch and Dolman give huge legacies to City and they messed it up. History could well repeat itself.

 

2.It's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow most seek. Why worry about them, they aren't good enough or big enough to warrant the sleeping giant status their morons think they are. Plenty bigger and further up the food chain with better resources.  

Let them continue to rack up massive debts, one day that vile turncoat will pull out and they will be a fourth division team playing in front of 5000 fans.

Their supporters are that great, they steal from the Supporters club and frequently pass their tickets through the hole in the fence so their mates can get in for free, depriving their wonderful club of money they so clearly need. Fantastic support, shame we can’t compete with that.

I know I should let things like this go over my head but reading absolute garbage like this really boils my piss. It's an insult to the likes of my own Dad who bought shares in the club and 5 year season tickets in 82 to ensure that we stayed alive.. and the hundreds that travelled away to places like Aldershot and Halifax when we were bottom of the fourth tier. Then you've got people like Beryl Fudge who worked tirelessly behind the scenes in the dark days and Cooper and his crew who dragged us back from the abyss to become the top team in Bristol. Divvy Saunders RIP, who rallied a struggling side during his last weeks.Who do they think they are? Jehovas chosen ones?

Wish I could sign up to that forum and knock them straight off that high horse of theirs.

Add in the fact that TC would walk round the pitch to collect much needed funds to keep the club alive, meet fans, help sell tickets, and poured his heart and soul in to dragging us back up the leagues. And they've got the cheek to say things like that. They sag bastards are bitter, weird little freaks.

"With City's fickle fans if they get relegated with large wages, they do a 82 all over again."

We've never had average 5k crows have we? They have.

 

"City's fanbase may have the numbers, but they don't have anyone like Gordon Bennett, Ray Kendall, Steve Burns, Jim Chappell, the 50/50 sellers, the people who do their bit on the forums etc, people who devote hours unpaid year in year out and that is why they could soon be in real trouble. " 

This small time mentality keeps them where they are, excluding the fact that we do have the things he talks about.. none of this matters in 2018, it's all big corporate business meetings & private events that bring the money in for the club, these small (but appreciated) things that the fans do for the club make a relatively insignificant difference to the future of the club.

 

"When SL leaves, what is going to happen to City? "

Do they not know that JL is being primed to take over from his father when the time comes? We have 50+ more years of this, unless we're sold, and if we are I know SL will make sure it's the right sell for the club and city.

I used to think the 'deluded' comments were all in jest. But they actually really think things like the above are true don't they?

Unbelievable 

For any Rovers fans reading this....which I'm sure you do....I would love to know what it's like to live a life in your heads? Please tell us.

The level of delusion is almost surreal

In 82 we averaged 4700. It’s worth pointing out that at the time they only averaged a few hundred more than us in the division above and that’s without the traumatic off field events that were going on at AG (plus having just suffered 3 straight relegations). Football attendances we’re also down all over the country at the time.

Its the only time in 116 years that we have averaged below 5k.

City have had just as many if not more individuals who have sacrificed so much to keep the club going, off the pitch and on the pitch. We’ve experienced financial problems that they can’t even imagine, yet we survived. I genuinely think that if they’d been in our shoes in 1982 they’d have disappeared altogether. Look how quickly their home crowds are falling this year and they’re not even in the L1 relegation zone. Their crowds in Non League were only 6.5k because they were winning most weeks. Funny fickle little fan base ?

They only had 3500 turn up for the last ever match at their spiritual home FFS ?

Whaaaat?    I've been using this forum for quite a while now………… why didn't I know about our 'sleeping giant' status???  Why have none of my fellow 'teds told me about this?  I must be missing the posts where this is banged on about.

 

The delusion of the person who believes that we think we're a bloody sleeping giant is absolutely frightening.  For me, the allegation that we City fans think we are a sleeping giant absolutely sums up the thick, jealous, self-righteous 'everybody loves da gas' tw4ts.  Is it any wonder that I'm not very keen on BRFC and their 'followers'?  I wouldn't sprinkle on one of them if they were on fire.

And just like North Korea, if you keep recycling the same lies again and again with nobody to challenge you, those lies eventually become the truth. Their Facebook group is exactly the same.. "Teds" are banned instantly and their comments deleted. It happened to me once when I challenged some idiot who claimed our crowds were down to 8000 in the SOD years. No debate, just gone within minutes.

Fewers, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You are very welcome to sign up to this forum and tell us why you think you are so Superior to us. None of you will of course because you are spineless.

However the FAW obviously realise there is only 1 team in Bristol...

Official Wales FA site, tremendous stuff!

WALES SQUAD:

Herein lies the problem with the Sags. They see us as ‘arrogant’ with a ‘chip on our shoulders’, ‘up our own arses’ and ‘believe we are sleeping giants’....even though all we have done is support City as opposed to them. This totally twisted and deluded view of City fans provides them with all the ‘ammo’ that they need to feel hard done by and play the victim.

They won a game on the weekend and we lost at Reading and suddenly they all crawled out from under their rocks “Singing the blues” and delighting in our defeat at Reading....and they aren’t obsessed like the “gurt Teds”. I don’t see the same delightful outpouring when we win and they lose....I don’t.....but none of them can contain themselves, NONE of them!

When Rovers drop (at the end of this season?), will they get 5,000 for their games. Last season only six clubs averaged over 5,000; Coventry, Lincoln, Luton, Notts Co, Swindon and Chesterfield.

"Let them continue to rack up massive debts, one day that vile turncoat will pull out and they will be a fourth division team playing in front of 5000 fans."

When Rovers drop (at the end of this season?), will they get 5,000 for their games. Last season only six clubs averaged over 5,000; Coventry, Lincoln, Luton, Notts Co, Swindon and Chesterfield.

You do mean for their away support, don't you?

They probably will get 5k at the rugby ground though. They are after all, the Barcelona of league 2.

So bitter ??

SL is clearly here to stay, bad luck Saggies. Wonder if the Al Qadis are as committed to them? 

Crowds of 5000 is more their historical level, not ours. They struggle to shift that many STs in LEAGUE ONE let alone the 'fourth division'. Their attendances are already heading that way this season because they've lost a few games, fickle weirdos.

The thing they can`t grasp is that, even if we were to plummet down the leagues and end up in the newly-renamed division 5, I doubt our crowds would ever dip below 5000.

Won't be long till one of them says 'he is more interested in rugby/basketball than football and he will be reducing his investment'.

Choosing to overlook the fact that his investment has taken us close to the FFP limit.

One already has and it should come as no surprise to find it was the serial fantasist, Henbury S*g. He`s on there claiming to know for a fact that SL is more interested in the rugby now and will shortly be pulling the plug on City.

Well, the oracle has spoken. I`m off to support Exeter now as there`s clearly no future in sticking with City.

:laugh:

You can imagine him joining up with his team mates, and then after he’s finished getting their autographs & scrubbing their boots, people like Gareth Bale congratulating him on his move to a proper football club. He might leave enough time for them to get in a few jokes about the memorial ground, Babe station & horse punching, before he has to point out that it’s an error and that is indeed where he still plays.

"With City's fickle fans if they get relegated with large wages, they do a 82 all over again."

We've never had average 5k crows have we? They have.

 

"City's fanbase may have the numbers, but they don't have anyone like Gordon Bennett, Ray Kendall, Steve Burns, Jim Chappell, the 50/50 sellers, the people who do their bit on the forums etc, people who devote hours unpaid year in year out and that is why they could soon be in real trouble. " 

This small time mentality keeps them where they are, excluding the fact that we do have the things he talks about.. none of this matters in 2018, it's all big corporate business meetings & private events that bring the money in for the club, these small (but appreciated) things that the fans do for the club make a relatively insignificant difference to the future of the club.

 

"When SL leaves, what is going to happen to City? "

Do they not know that JL is being primed to take over from his father when the time comes? We have 50+ more years of this, unless we're sold, and if we are I know SL will make sure it's the right sell for the club and city.

 

I can just imagine an eighty five year old LJ doing the matchday prezzer.

( same old bollocks probably) :yes:
