Apparently they bought their most valuable one 30 years ago, for was a modest fee, even then - and they haven't invested more than that amount since..!

At least they seem to have retracted from it. No doubt it's a lower league version of Sorare. Yep it takes 2-3 hours of low level googling and reading to figure out what these companies are trying to do. I've done similar myself for organisations I am involved with who have been approached. They offer a lot of money to get organisations to sign up, it's very tempting.

They also owned a very valuable one, valued in the millions of pounds, but inexplicably sold it for a fraction of that...............................................

I know lot's of people are worried about certain things this winter but this tops the lot..........

 

Now the winter is kicking in will be interesting to see how proactive the club is in making the fan zone work. Huddled together in a pop up gazebo may not be the way forward.

Bristol Rovers have condemned the behaviour of home supporters who entered the Memorial Stadium pitch after Saturday's draw with Forest Green Rovers.

The visitors clinched promotion with a 0-0 draw at the Mem and hundreds of their supporters hopped the hoardings and entered the pitch at full time.

Dozens of home fans followed before stewards and police regained control of the situation.

In a statement Bristol Rovers said: "The club does not condone the actions of supporters who came onto the pitch following today’s match against Forest Green Rovers.

"Whilst we understand that emotions were high following Forest Green’s promotion, our fans should not have entered the playing confines with a view to anti-social behaviour and we would like to remind supporters that it is against EFL regulation to trespass on the pitch.

"The club will work with authorities to take the appropriate action to deal with those who incited violence."

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "Following yesterday’s game between Bristol Rovers and Forest Green Rovers at the Memorial Stadium, a number of supporters of both sides went onto the pitch.

 "Officers worked closely with stewards to separate the supporters and ensured everyone could leave the stadium safely.

 "It’s always disappointing when a minority of supporters behave in this way and officers will now be working with the club to consider what further action needs to be taken, including the use of football banning orders if necessary.”

Bristol Rovers News

The club have received three previous fines, dating back to November 2018, for breaches of the FA rule E20. The most recent, a £7,500 fine in November 2019 for homophobic chanting by spectators, led to an action plan for the club to review the quality of its stewarding.2 Aug 2022

[Kodjias Wrist]

Didn't their messiah say when they were in the conference there was death threats on posters all over the training ground and him and his staff had to take them down?

Didn't Matty Taylors car/house get vandalised by them?

I bet they forget all that when they clutch at straws for something to better us on.

I remember a gashead mate of mine refusing to watch them when they dropped to the conference saying that he won't go and fans shouldn't go because it was encouraging poor performances. 3 or 4 weeks later when they picked up he was saying "Yeah we'll watch them on the pavements and on the downs" what a load of deluded weirdos they have supporting them.

Portsmouth : August 20th 2022

Regrettably at the Bristol Rovers home fixture, there were two incidents where objects were thrown from the stands. In the first half, plastic drinks bottles were thrown on to the pitch from the away section, aimed at players and home supporters. This incident is currently under investigation together with The FA.

Forest Green Rovers : April 2022

Officers are investigating incidents that happened during Bristol Rovers’ home game with Forest Green last month.

The two West Country sides played out a goalless draw at The Memorial Stadium on Saturday, April 23 on their way to promotion, but upon the final whistle police had to contend with several incidents of public order.

"An investigation has been carried out, with assistance from both football clubs, and a number of arrests made," said an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson.

Well, he is correct that they are the gift that keeps giving. This thread wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the constant embarrassing gaffs their club and fans churn out on a regular basis.

After that he’s simply listing things that Rovers fans themselves have also been guilty of so, yes…they have ‘stooped to the lowest of our lows’. Still you wouldn’t expect honesty from a Gashead would you?

At least our fans don’t go around playing ‘Boob Cricket’.

They really don't know when to stop do they.

Can anyone be sure that Limpwristgas isn't one of our lot who has snuck under the rusty curtain and infiltrated their message board? I honestly can't imagine that any Rovers fan would write that unless it was to get a reaction on here as clearly as recently as the last game of last season when they won promotion in the most unlikely of circumstances, the goalkeeper for the side they beat was attacked - and let's not forget he wasn't the first keeper they've attacked, pretty sure I remember a number of years back a couple of them went on the pitch to attack a visiting keeper.

(For reference, I think that was before the point that another visiting player was racially abused, but it was around the same time).

Reality is, both sets of supporters have some absolute idiots amongst them, but they have a charge sheet as long as your arm and are seeing capacity reduced based in part of supporter actions. 

They way they're going, they'll be playing at the Mem in another 30 years, with a revised capacity of 5000 and they'll still not make that a sellout to season ticket holders. 

A more disorganised bunch you'll never find elsewhere, they have some ligitimate things to moan about - the stadium being one of them - but the moment they get members of the supporters club on the board of directors, they lose all fight as those directors don't challenge, represent or fight for the fans, they suddenly become 'club people' who don't want to challenge anyone or anything. But still the Fewers pay their memberships and question nothing. The fact some of them relish the lack of facilities as a good thing because 'it isn't a soul-less bowl' and 'it's a proper football stadium' - it really isn't anything to cheer, it's attitudes like that which keep the majority in poverty surroundings. 

We could have swapped league success/non-league status with them over the last 15 years and I'd wager we'd still be attracting new fans to the stadium, they have an aging fan base, zero marketing and will likely go the way of clubs that still dine out on past glories, only they've not that much to crow up. Won't be surprised that unless they break-ground on a new stadium in the next 5 years (be that a new stadium or a fully redeveloped Mem) they'll end up League 2/Non League again. No doubt that Barton has done well correcting his relegation by getting them back to where he picked them up, but he won't be there in the long term. His family are in the north and as soon as a better option comes along, he'll be gone. They kid themselves that 'Wally/Joey/Whoever are 'proper Gasheads' - absolute tosh. Wally is a Chelsea fan, Joey wants a job and everyone else is just passing through.

They've stooped lower than where we have ever been, both on and off the pitch.

In 2014 they had more football banning orders than any other football league club in the country. FACT!

Punching Braintree players in the back of the net just because they were losing to a complete footballing backwater and their self-entitlement attitude got the better of them.

Family club? What a ******* joke. Do me a favour. Holier than thou Gas delusional bullshit at its finest.

They can't see reality from the utter drivel and bullshit that they keep trying to spout.

When they set themselves up like old limpwrist then they continue to be the gift that keeps on giving.

Here you go....

There were 484 new banning orders issued during the 2014/15 season, compared with 678 in 2013/14.

Bristol Rovers had the biggest number of new orders overall, with 31 issued during 2014/15.

Burnley fans received the largest number of new banning orders in the Premier League, 26 in total, before their relegation.

In the Championship Wolverhampton Wanderers fans had 22 imposed.

Leeds United fans sparked the most football-related arrests last season, 99 according to the figures.

I heard they were after something a little less camp but wanted to keep the badge pretty much the same, whilst also incorporating imagery that displays their identity in a modern way….so they voted for this:

[ExiledAjax]

From a fan engagement and governance point of view I think we should praise the Gas on this occasion. Fair play to them for consulting with both their fans and listening to the few thoughts they had. It would have been nice if our club had carried out a similar consultation process a few years ago.

Naturally they have still ended up with a camp pirate in high heels trying to squash a football, but at least they asked and listened.

So praise the process, even if they've naturally messed up the result.

Naturally they have still ended up with a camp pirate in high heels trying to squash a football, but at least they asked and listened.

So praise the process, even if they've naturally messed up the result.

 

Both their fans or both of their fans?

After spending millions of pounds with leading design consultants and hours of in depth interviews with the fans, the club are moving forward with this exciting new crest...

...so the gay pirate wins the day again!

"We have therefore taken the decision to halt the process and we will continue with the existing logo."

Looks like Pansy the Pirate is picking his arse, and wearing his grandma's slippers.

I heard they were after something a little less camp but wanted to keep the badge pretty much the same, whilst also incorporating imagery that displays their identity in a modern way….so they voted for this:

 

Your best contribution yet, Peter. 

You should be carried shoulder-high through the streets of Bristol and given the freedom of the city!

Rubbish !

Surely, it wouldn't take hours to hold in-depth interviews with their entire fan-base of just sixteen die-hards,

But then again, if the only way they could communicate was by making grunting sounds   . . .

Cheers.

However I can’t take credit for the design, it’s not my work.
