I wasn't referring to averages, and accidentally referred to the 2021-22 figures, not those from last season. Last season is actually a very bad guide, because they underachieved massively. Note that I was also referring to individual games, not the average. See here: Charlton Athletic | Home Attendances | 2021-2022 | Football Web Pages Two attendances in excess of 26,000.

Being a City fan or a Rovers fan thinking the same thing about a band an ex Chairman played the drums for really means the square route of eff all. Do you like every single singer, band who has sold millions of records. CDs, downloads etc? Nice of you to admit we WERE a bit "tinpot" in your eyes 30 years ago, whereas your own poor old Rovers have never got away from that tag, and now hated by even more people across the Country due to your clubs morals and values. Anyway, how is the planning going for the new megastand (with a concourse), maybe you can setup your promotional exhibition stand in there too and add your excellent flag, you must be so prowed. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were a teenage girl in the early 90s there’s an overwhelming likelihood that you’d think BROS was shite Ive never once heard a City fan claiming it as a badge of honour that our owner for a short time in that decade used to play keyboards for them (not drummer as you wrongly stated). I’ve also never met a City fan that gives a shit who he played keyboards with You’re utterly bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 @Hot Air my Brother. One question. How can we help? Do you have a question you need answering? A view you want to share? I've had a look through your posts and it's just a selection of random and (mostly) unrelated statements. Put in one post everything you feel you need to get off your chest, we'll do our best to help out, and then you can spend your time doing something more productive and enjoyable than being a nuisance on an online forum. All the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, he did. In amongst all the ******* rubbish about 90s boy bands and Steve Lansdown he says he actually meant that 2 seasons ago Charlton Athletic had 2 games where their attendances were higher than our highest attendances. Hes actually gone away and researched that thinking it’s something that can be used as a stick to beat US with Nobody knows why he felt the need to go to the trouble of looking this up or mention it on here? Imagine talking about attendances when your own team haven’t averaged over 10k for 45 years and struggle to fill the tiny ground they have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way (even for a Sag) that so many posts can be so ridiculous. It just isn't possible. Unless of course it is Joey Barton in disguise or the actual drummer out of Bros. Trying to articulate posts and using points of reference that are just nonsensical. There are a few tolerated Sags that come on here and we all know who they are and for the most part offer some good insight and banter. They must be embarrassed by this pleb.

When I listened to the bumbling Wally interview with Geoff I swear that he said that Membley and the Fruitihad weren't linked in any way? Sounds like Wally hasn't had a chat with Hussain about this? Unless of course the whole thing is just a load of 'Hot Air'....which brings me nicely on to the next subject..... On 16/08/2023 at 11:56, Hot Air said: Do you talk about PL football? I hope not, because you've never been in it. Every so often one deluded inbred breaks cover and attempts to take on the 'Dustbin Thread' regulars. 1982, Bros? When City were Tinpot etc etc - Do you have anything more up to date and relevant?, or are you simply buried deep in the past like so many of your deluded, dribbling, crayon munching comrades? Do you worship the Tote End and possess a "FTG" number plate by any chance? Let's talk present tense instead..... Your club is a 'laugh a minute' joke. - Recent Past and Present. You haven't got a pot to piss in - Present You have been in our shadow for nearly 23 years - Present Your club is smaller than Peterborough - Present...seeing as you have been discussing attendances Membley has a bigger pile of rubble than Fred Flintstone FFS! Your club is the very definition of TINPOT and it's ******* hilarious. Thanks for being the gift that continues to give and thanks for adding to our entertainment.

You’re referring there to Craig (Ken) Logan, the one of Bros who wasn’t one of the Goss twins - and played bass. The actual drummer was Luke Goss, who went on to a moderately successful film career, but wasn’t a music manager. Weve had enough nonsense on this thread without you adding to it. I feel ashamed to be caught out by a super Bros-fan like yourself, Silvio. I'd only be more embarrassed if I'd claimed Charlton attendances were higher than City's or didn't understand what vulture capitalism meant, or didn't realise that touring musicians are not necessarily part of the band... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Viz start the “Ken” stuff? Had the last laugh, didn’t he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively, what you're asking here is... When. Will I, will I - be shameless? No point looking in my direction for an answer. I can't, I can't answer that. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another level? What like League One? And Five as in "Division Five"? Wouldn't that be Hot Air's field of expertise?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
