They speak of the Championship being their natural home, despite the fact they haven't played at this level for yonkers. What they are is a declining club. Sort of a Notts County. Last time the Gas could even be considered medium-sized, Russ Conway was in the charts. I feel you’re being unkind to Notts County. They have fallen on hard times but they are only one decision below Rovers and should they get promoted via the playoff they will be in the same division.

I was genuinely interested in getting involved in their views on Bristol football and the two clubs etc - my grandad was a staunch gashead and he drove one of their supporters’ coaches up to Newcastle for their high profile FA Cup fifth round tie back in the 1950s - the road network was nothing like it is now and the journey took two days to get to Newcastle ... I had the temerity to praise their fans who undertook such a hard and arduous journey to support their team ... and got banned ... priceless - better red than green with envy ...

They probably averaged the same or more then Rovers did its honestly amazing how delusional some fans are I mean they must be bigger then Barcelona or Man City I mean everyone loves them. They chastise us for saying we have a divine right to the play offs (which we don't) we just had season on season growth where we were pushing for the play offs.

I remember that Just the Spurs state of the art stadium had more development than the pitch sprinklers, family tent stand, new canopy over the door to some grubby little bar, and the big screen supplied by Steve Lansdowns company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tully Bascomb Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 In the video, there seems to be a wooden horse on the grass, in front of the shops. Is this for practice? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
