They're a million strong eh...

They are the Fewers,

They think they're PROWED,

They're in the basement,

They get small crowds.

 

They can KISS their hopes of an immediate return  goodbye.

Not my words, but the words of Gene Simmons (possibly, I don't know any other members of that band).

Yeah but it's only one guy, who seems to have some issues as well. The rest of that thread is some reasonable posts discussing their shortcomings and, ironically, pointing out that someone on here will think they are all like that. :whistle:

Don't worry, a couple of wins and the six fingered gifts will start creeping out from under the tarpaulin. Its what they do.

Not sure why we need to bookmark it - Just in case you only checked the last posting date and the (misleading) thread title, the thread you linked was actually started in summer 2020 so was almost entirely about the season just finishing - apart from the final post in the thread.

Yet again, an example of some gasheads being over-confident ("announce promotion", "hellooooo", "the gas are staying up!"", "we got our stadium" etc), though admittedly many on that thread point out their poor record garner had at the tail end of the 2019-2020 season and their lack of recruitment in midfield and up front.

Isn't this just ANOTHER example of the gas showing poor numeracy dating back to 2020? in this case in relation to years of football seasons.

Or has one of the Mods on their North Korean mentality forum just renamed it for the coming season and i have been wooshed? In which case they really do never learn.

North of the flow? So.. East Bristol?

So a joke investor who's probably broke following a joke team that are broke - sounds like a perfect match!

Relegation to the basement is a ‘massive stepping stone to success’  the reverse logic of these special fans is truly outstanding?

Yep.

It should be that promotion to League One is a ‘massive stepping stone to ******* it all up royally, providing endless gifts for the Ted’s to rip the piss out of time and time again.’

Honestly, they are football’s equivalent of the ‘Doozers’ from Fraggle Rock.

Just been over to Gaschat for a bit of a browse.

Some of them (although admittedly not all), reckon they only need to build a 12,000 capacity stadium as that's all they could hope to get. A few of them have correctly pointed out you need to build for the future not the present - the lack of ambition from some of them is frightening - a few of them get it, that you need to build a stadium you almost struggle to host games in as the facilities are in such high demand, but for a lot of them....

They have also dragged up the LJ comment about 'Europe in 5 years' comment. Which, as a stand alone statement does sound pretty ridiculous, but if you remeber the context of it, it was made at one of those Radio Bristol sports forums (hosted at Ashton Gate) where Geoff asked the question of where the 3 managers saw their clubs in 5 years time. Lam talked about ongoing progression and developing players, Darryl Clarke said 'competing in the Championship' and LJ said something along the lines of 'Well, if Darryl is going to be fanciful, I'll say Europe'.

Hardly an LJ mission statement.

Almost (but don't quite) feel sorry for some of them, being held back due to a lack of ambition from within their ranks.

I don’t know exactly what LJ said but I do know that the BBC amongst others ran with it. I thought he said that, as a club, we are capable of achieving that. In reality any Championship club with a billionaire owner can potentially do it if all the holes line up.

My point whenever some Sag brings it up is that LJs boss was/is incredibly ambitious and was already pumping 10s of millions of ££s into the stadium and playing staff. In that position you’d hardly say you’d want to tread water and just avoid relegation for the next 5 years.

Still, it’s not like thick sags to get things wrong is it? ?

They’re still wheeling out that “In 5 years no one will talk about Rovers” Lansdown myth.

What type of crayon chewing window licker posts such absolute non sense?!? It is their refusal to ever accept the truth which makes them the utter laughing stock they truly are and in doing so rubbing the noses of a Crawley or a Harrogate on any other of the teams in League Two in not showing any respect to these teams.

A couple of wins and the sags are marching into the play offs, or they're bigger than Norwich or that they are a well supported team yet they can't even manage to sell out a 12,000 seater outdated rugby ground.

 

'One million strong'? They ain't even 10,000 strong!

The bloke announcing the 10 most shocking signings program after motd said "Bristol Rovers fan here I'm making no comment" 

Yeah I heard that. A Sag shocking signing? I suppose he must be referring to the shocking sum they forked out for Andy Tillson, a "break the bank" signing from which they've never fully financially recovered...

Think a 12,000 seater stadium will suit them fine. If they start getting big gates ? then providing it has the land around it to be able to upgrade stands as they go they would be fine.

Any ground roverzzz build will need ample land around it, just to cater for all those locked out.

Here at Peterborough many people such as myself have moved here, but continue to support their home town team.

Arrived at work today and the boss, a Blackpool fan, pointed at me and declared "Bristol got relegated"! I rapidly informed him "That was the other lot".

7 years ago today they were invading the pitch at Wycombe Wanderers, shouting about someone’s granny going to bed, hugging each other, destroying advertising hoardings and announcing loudly that the world had to believe them that they were staying in the football league.

6 fifths of them would sadly be disappointed the following week as they plunged into oblivion and they ended up blaming Ted’s and punching horses.

The problem with their fans is they live in some sort of deluded time warp -unfortunately for the sags we aren’t living in the mid 1990’s anymore and LONG gone are the days when Rovers could consider themselves even remotely the same size as Reading Hull or Brighton.
 

Times have moved on and whilst the rest of the footballing world have been improving their infrastructures the sags have stood still playing in a decrepit old Rugby stadium struggling to average over 7 k a week. League 2 is honestly their natural level.

It might be recommended that they concentrate their efforts on getting back to L1 1st....

Love to know their rating criteria for those clubs listed being 'historically smaller'.

The last time the delluded morons had a season average ABOVE 10K was over 40 years ago in 1976!

  • The last time Reading had an average BELOW 10K was 2000
  • The last time Swansea had an average BELOW 10K was 2005
  • The last time Brighton had average BELOW 10K was 2011
  • The last time Hull had an average BELOW 10K was 2002

So in most cases its been nearly 20 years of these clubs being bigger - so I'd argue that in every instance they have been left far behind and history means very little.

I'll acknowledge that in those previous 40 seasons there may have been cases that those clubs had lower attendances (especially when brighton were at a low ebb), but it's been a long time since that, and ALL of those clubs have far outperformed the gas attendance wise. How "historical" do they want to get?

The other conclusion of course could be that they are actually bigger, but their fans are just shit and fans of other clubs are far more loyal and actually turn up to watch their team play.

These absolute mongs never fail to amaze me ?????

 

we averaged 26,000 one season in the 50’s in what now is the championship, and over 13,000 in 1973/74 promotion season, if you think small you will remain small, I’m 100% convinced, supply a ground on the level of Ashton Gate, fund the team accordingly and we’d be averaging over 20,000 a season I’m sure.

Whenever one of them says that the only reason we get higher crowds is because AG has better facilities, and claim they’d fill the Mem if it wasn’t a shithole, I love pointing out that their fans must be the most fickle, ‘part time’ fans on the Planet. ?

Seriously, what ‘real’ football fan says “Im going to turn my back on my club because they expect me to stand on a terrace”?

Or “I’m not going today because I want a nice comfy seat” ?

Fickle, part time ‘can’t be arsed’, passionless fanbase who deserve L2.

I would argue that terracing would increase attendances.....i'd absolutely love to be able to stand on a terrace again instead of sitting in a cramped seat!

More bullshit from the gAssholes. Their highest average was 24662 in 1954...67 years ago.

Someone might want to break it to that fewer, that new ground or not, most of those fans are probably brown bread.

I don’t even know where to start with this one. He’s taken an average crowd from 70 years ago, an average crowd from 46 years ago, thrown in the usual reference to us and calculated a 20k average!  All without acknowledging they are starting in the basement division again next season with very little chance of championship football for many years. I’m not even sure they have 20 thousand fans in Bristol any more, their support base has dwindled to a few mouthy deluded idiots spouting bollocks on social media and radio phone ins. 
I’ll leave this here

When Barton was interviewed by Radio Bristol after the Portsmouth match, Richard Hoskins said words to the effect of “You must be hoping, Joey that next season you’ll be back playing in front of ten thousand gasheads at the Mem ...”.

Even our local broadcaster has seemingly bought into the delusion. Ten thousand gasheads, my arse.

Remember hearing this & drawing 2 conclusions;

Hoskins is either a gashead or he’s completely utterly ******* deluded.

Rovers will be in League Two next season whilst we are in the grip of a pandemic.

There is very little chance that a club who get around 6500 watching them in the third division suddenly getting far, far more than that one division down.

Also, back to that pandemic bit, for safety reasons I’d be amazed in a ramshackle ground where social distancing will be difficult I doubt they will be allowed to operate anywhere near full capacity.

Still, in the spirit of false equivalence Hoskins also trots out the “Blue half of Bristol” myth from time to time, so my first comment stands.

26, or 24,000 they haven't taken into account that at that time, many people went to both grounds to watch whoever was at home. A long, long time before it become the norm to pledge allegiance to one club and one club only.

Also agree that most of those attending would now be dead and buried a long time ago!!

To be fair, the original gas poster was probably trying to work out an average on his hands, but got stuck after adding 1 to 1....

The Mem not being able to reopen at full capacity is hardly going to be an issue. How many capacity crowds have they had since they've been there?

They are the blue-print for social distancing.

I had the misfortune of bumping into one of the more vocal true blues on Sunday evening after many ciders had been consumed, he was absolutely convinced their average support numbers per season were much higher than what they actually are, sadly I was not able to find a list of actual numbers.

But they really do believe they get number regularly over 10k

Deluded. Must come naturally to them.

then you get bits like this

'Clubs like Reading and Brighton along with Hull and Swansea are all historically smaller clubs than us imo.

We should be looking to emulate them all by getting to the Premier League, or at the very least Championship.'

 

who is he trying to kid,in comparison,they are like a drop of rats piss compared to those and as for the prem, flip me 'arriet,  does he mean the premiere non league league?? or does toolstation have a championship?

Errr, wut?

I think they're mixing up Rovers with City. It's potentially arguable that City maaay at one time or another been as 'big a club', or on a par with, the likes of Brighton, Swansea, Reading and Hull. But even that isn't really the case today. All those clubs have, in the first analysis, tasted Premier League football and relatively recently. Some have even won major honours (Swansea won the EFL cup a few years back).

Let's face it, we are behind those four clubs. And Rovers are way behind us. Miles behind at every level.

They have really lost the plot. They've spent the vast majority of their history in the 3rd tier. They are a proverbial Astronomical Unit from the likes of Reading or Brighton. Rovers are far closer to being approximate to a Shrewsbury, a Chesterfield, or a Mansfield Town.
