I love the former Gas "hard man" quoted in that article: "You’d get beat up one week, then another week".

Seems their "fearsome reputation" is well deserved! ? :handbags:

Yeah, sounds like they used to get their heads kicked in every week.

Fortunately these days they’ve turned their attentions to things that don’t generally fight back...horses, minibuses carrying injured players and pert breasts.

That article reads like it’s been written by a Saghead, it’s got that “my God, aren’t we amazing” style throughout. My only experience of Banjo Island is playing the Lamb in a Sunday League match once. Some Lurch looking zombie in goal desperately tried to intimidate me every time we had a corner so I just laughed at him. I bagged a couple of goals as well which didn’t help his mood ?

I’ve just noticed that it’s going to be Pompey that they are playing at Webley. I didn’t realise the other semi final had taken place this week, because the details for that competition are so far down the listings on Flashscores!

It must be the lowest profile qualification for a game at Wembley I’ve ever (not) seen!

Until, of course, Rovers confirm their place in the final. Then the whole world will sit up and take notice..! 

in jaw dropping disbelief.

Will be in north Kent in a couple of weeks time and a Gillingham supporting mate wants to take me to see them play the Gas, we will be sitting with the Gills fans behind the goal, was just wondering what might be the best songs to teach them?

Thoughts?

I genuinely hadn't realised that the reason the Gas Hit Squad is so called is because they keep turning up at other grounds to be hit.

Every day is a school day.

Ooh a relegation 6 pointer. No point trying to sing in the home end. You will drowned out by the 4000 gas turning up for such an important game. It's just what they do.

Didn’t we beat Gillingham 4 times in a season the last time we were in the same division?

I’d probably prefer the Gas if I was them, especially when Rovers away support alone will keep that club in business for another year at least. Just look at the mammoth following they took last time they went there on a Saturday.

’Its just what they do...’

You forgot that there were literally thousands locked out. No doubt trying to get into a gay bar for a pre-match love-in.

. Wael has until recently been carried up and down the Glos Rd by appreciative Gas heads and has become used to not having to pay for a bus ticket, but now Rovers fans seem reluctant to transport him to the city centre using his favourite method. 

Not put off by this, Wael discovered gangs of semi-tumescent Sunderland fans wandering around pointing at all things Bristol Rovers and commenting on how much more they love the Gas in comparison to the Ted's in fact they were more than happy to carry the president where he wanted to go... 

His usual destination was Dixons because he wanted to buy a big screen TV. But was unable to because they didn't sell the bracket that went with it, plus he went in about six shops and none of them sold training grounds...

Given their huge reputation for having such loyal and true fans, I feel like they'd get incredibly offended at a simple 'your support is f*****g s**t'.

Fvck me lads we best avoid whoever this Belter called Baz is when he’s on tour down here next. 

Taken from Asschat:

Current lead singer of the Stranglers, Baz Warne is a mackem and slags off the sh** when touring in Bristol.

:facepalm:

The Stranglers died when Hugh Cornwell left.

Hugh's more of a cricket and rugby man, but I can reveal he has been to see City. He lives in Somerset.

Also has a degree in biochemistry, whereas "Baz" sounds like he got a CSE in window licking from the university of life.

To be fair, Baz has probably never heard of r*vers and probably thinks Bristol is a one team city.

I recommend an eyebath as well.

Not sure if cleansing the mind of the mamories is possible though.

I believe the German Alz Heimer has created that

but also I think a Spaniard Senor Dementia can do the trick. 

not sure about the mamories after googling it seems that all experiments have gone tits up.

Went there boxing day 1987, a load of us in fancy dress. COLD? Bugger me it was lucky we were pissed! 

The days of away 'cages' in the bad old days.

A word of advice to the young 'uns, don't wear a toga to an away game on boxing day! :colder:

These are in Poland, but are the right size for the travelling gas heads.

'Don't Woking realise we're massive and away fans locked out before kickoff'....thus the myth begins! :rofl2br:

Just let that sink in for a moment....Woking. Not quite selling out a 9000 allocation at the Etihad, is it?

Absolute belters.

Gates open to the Massive Attack gig at 5pm. Traffic is expected to build up around Filton from 3pm. 14,000 attending the sell out event.

If a local cycling event can cause 15ers to stay at home because of perceived travel problems, this gig will surely make them stay at home in the warm a sub 8,000 turn out from the ever so loyal and true is my guess.

To be fair, his posts are a bit tongue in cheek / lighthearted - so you probably took the Woking comment too seriously....

I got the self deprecation in the tweets, refreshingly different look at their own struggles without mentioning UWE, Wael (v nice man apparently!), Sainsbury's, championship ready sprinklers, babestation, boob cricket, headbutting windows....the list goes on....

The Stranglers are very much alive and kicking ( apart from dear old Jet Black rest his soul ) .

Hugh was great but, apparently,  wanted to lead the Meninblack down the pop music road which was one of the main points of dispute. 

They rock.

This sag has got it in one..

"I think they might be distracting in our craphole of a ground just because they’ll be the only modern thing in it."

They only have them until the end of the season.

Depends if they will actually make any money to justify the expense.

You have to wonder to The Bishopston Fryer have given full consideration to their digital marketing needs. How else will they be able to reach a few thousand people a fortnight.

The Stranglers are all alive including Jet who recently celebrated his 80th birthday but is now a non-playing member. 

Baz is a big Sunderland fan but he has banter in every town they play in re the local team. It’s only that he’s never heard of that lot in North Bristol that he picks on City when down here. He’s a top bloke as was/is Hugh.

Thanks for that re. Jet. I knew he was very ill but thought I`d missed some sad news and he had passed away but thankfully not

Stick in there big man!

Win 4-0 and still in the bottom four and some more bad news Plymouth took 2000 to Sunderland today so may be Sunderland fans have a new team that have "the best and loudest fans to visit the SOL" and obviously  Sunderland prefer Plymouth to us
