We could write a book.on the gaffs the blue few have made :laugh:,

The statement telling us only spurs have done more to their ground then rovers, that was a good one

Yeah, book with a title of Mind the Gaff might have some legs.  

Have to be oversize though, as there’s so much to pack in!

It could be like the old annuals you used to get at Christmas - a new volume for each year detailing what they have cocked up in the previous twelve months.

You may have seen this article then which might be of interest

https://www.voice-online.co.uk/opinion/comment/2023/07/31/why-bristol-shafted-its-black-mayor-again/

Clearly one of Rees’ mates who has no idea about and or has never been to Bristol. At least most of the comments are calling him out 

"I hope Marvin genuinely reflects on why he lost, on his behaviour, and improves it as fundamentally we NEED more Black representation in parliament. Perhaps by asking why his reaction to failure is always about blaming others and not actually himself and how he could do better next time."

Who does that remind us of?

"his extreme touchiness, thin skin and refusal to brook any criticism or political disagreement without resorting to gratuitous passive aggressive abuse or going into victim mode"

And again!

"I think you also need to look at the people who ‘run’ him….he doesn’t make his own decisions, Kevin Slocombe does…. Slocombe is the wannabe Alistair Campbell who has made some ridiculous calls in their time in power in an attempt to ride on the coat tails of Marvin believing image is more important than substance"

That's Slocombe, a sorry gAsshole.

well, a more sustainable Rovers went from the unsustainable Rovers under Higgs that lost circa 600k a season, to evolution not revolution and a healthy, sustainable youth development set-up that has seen no signs of success under Wally that now loses 3 mil a year.

With the addition of 2 others, sustainability should see their losses increase to about 9 mil a year, based on recent business plans!

I’ve just been up past the slum on the lunchtime dog walk and the good news is that they have already ordered the new owners’ deluxe seating for the directors box and it’s just been delivered, alongside some seats for the new stand that match the other areas of the ground.

Would that also be the materials for the new disabled stand on that trailer?

Good lord. They are so gullible they’ll lap that up as a genuine comment as well ?

Had a glimpse of their forum. They actually think we're bothered ?

I don't think they know HOW much investment is needed to even be a sustainable Championship club let alone get promoted amongst the many big clubs in League 1. 

From a neutral pov (I dont generally give a s*** about Rovers) they're gonna need a lot of patience and an heck of a lot of change for them to progress.

Yes, I can imagine our thread is embarrassing…for the Gash. 
 

Also, it’s 3262 pages, not 30,000 - now where have we seen them exaggerate numbers like that before? ?

I'm not sure why any City fan should care that much to be honest, they're irrelevant. Part of me actually wants them to get promoted, get a better ground so we can have a proper derby for a change. It's down to them to get their arse in gear and play us on the pitch, but they're usually all mouth so I'm not sure why any of us lot should be bothered.

No. I’ll always hate them. Just because they’re s***e doesn’t mean they still aren’t a reprehensible bunch of cants with a horrible lowlife of a manager. I’d look for their results even if they were on the bottom step of the pyramid and heartily laugh at them losing. 
 

We all hate Gas Scum…

Look where they've been the last 20+ years. 

They aren't worth worrying about, just pity.

Loads of reasons. Would take far too long to explain, but wanting us to go under so that they could steal Ashton Gate would be top.

Hopefully they’ll drop back out of the football league at some point and shut the door on the way out. Gone never to return, let alone another derby with their family supporters trashing our ground. No thanks. Tada Tinpot.

Look good luck to em , albeit BAD but really do we have to have this on our site , I know the piss take is hard to give up especially after over 23 years of it but there’s generations of our fans who have never seen em play and we can’t really describe em as rivals much like notts forest and notts county - forest rivals are derby ? The blue few or without their stand fewer are really irrelevant to us ( even I have jumped on here after a few ciders on a sat ) but really **** em we don’t even need to know what their up to , not even if they break their record signing of Andy Tilson in 1992 :laugh: . PLEASE dump this blog

3 restaurants, of which one is a franchise... (Quiznos is like another version of a Subway in US).

Bought in for 'expertise' so sounds like the food offerings at Membley are going up a notch. 

Guarantee they are gullible as usual, probably another company like snackbox

New owner lookes as unhappy holding the shirt as most of their new signings :(

Kn'ell.

Is that a shirt or the tent cover for their "new" stand?

If it's a shirt, the size has gotta be a 4x extra large.

Are they hoping to lure Razor Ruddock out of retirement?

Hairshirt too, which seems appropriate.

Are we sure he hasn't been brought in to sort out those cheesy chips, out of date crisps and the fake fanta?

And also the thick ***** still can't get it through their thick skulls that if they added up all the threads they had over there about us then they'd have equal if not more.  It's just its kept in one super big thread on here so people who don't want to read about them can. 

There have been days where sagchat has had more topics about City than Rovers on its front page. 

@TomF regale us of the tale of the city relegation party thread on their old forum,

Gather round the campfire children as this one is a doosey

Really? Maybe for a 5-0 defeat at Morecombe but now you’re exaggerating like a Saghead.

Fact is, if they were a normal club doing normal club things and existing without constantly shooting themselves in both feet with an elephant gun any piss take thread like this would’ve died out years ago.

Is it just me that hasn't missed the irony of a gashead saying we are obsessed, but they've been on our forum to check?

Message for saggie, stop giving us ammunition and this monster will die but you keep cocking up!!

Ahh the Oh yes thread…

It wasn’t just our relegation though was it? It was just there to celebrate every time someone scored a goal against us.

Imagine what they’d be like if we got relegated to Non League by a team wearing our kit? ?

but the Wycombe celebrations the week before come mightily close 

I can still hear those chants ringing in my ears 

THE GAS ARE STAYING UP - THE GAS ARE STAYING UP

Nothing will top that for me either. I was laughing so hard at work yesterday reading all the comments, I had to explain myself to my staff. As Americans, I had to start with the basic stuff, the football pyramid, relegation and promotion, derby matches, etc... but once i laid the foundations and started telling them all the funny rovers stories I could think of, I had them all in stitches as well.

This. One million times. I will never, ever stop hating them for what they tried to do back then

Never forgive, never forget.

I completely agree with you, if it wasn't for having friends following them I'd not be aware of the majority of what goes on up the road but 3289 pages on here would indicate differently, sadly there is a large number that do obsess over them and vice versa 

It still amazes me the number of people you hear asking about their result on the way out of the ground etc 

Just now, Ronnie Sinclair said:

Don’t want them to go bust as who will we extract the urine out of then?  Relegation to the Toolstation will suffice 

Why worry about them at all? 

Let them disappear completely and focus solely on us

Amidst all the comedy have I missed the reports in the media about clubs queuing up to sign the not-good-enough-to-even-get-in-the-Wales-squad Collins for the millions Joey said he was worth?

Or do I have to pay Joey to find out?

Alright Maggsie. You still get up the Masonic mate? Have to agree. Think the youth get on here biggin it up as many have never seen Brizzle derbies like us. We was there when it was a proper derby with real hatred etc, whereas nowadays it is just a piss take. Personally, me thinks a Brizzle derby is a good thing for the city but that would only happen as a Div 1 game IMO.

I have never cared for fast cars and big houses but reckon that could strangely change very quickly if I won the lottery.....

I reckon they should hang on to any spare £500k in case they need it to look after their own fans and visiting fans better whilst the stand fiasco plays out.
