What Wael is doing is showing a bit of fight, passion, he cares, makes you prowed as the hairs on the back of your neck stand up dunnit. True Gas innit, he gets it don't he, he's a proper blue boy. It has absolutely nothing to do with an ex-owner and now CEO of a "big-city" football club looking absolutely village tinpot and unprofessional..................that's just some load of bollocks a Gurt Ted would come out with. The problem is too many people get taken in by the fact that the one Bristol team that really showed a some fight and proper passion (on the pitch rather than on social media) knocked out a side currently in the top 6 of the Premier League. What you need to do is say with "aggressive certainty" that the Teds only won against a West Ham Academy side, not even as strong as the one they put out in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, whilst full strength, recent Premiership giants Norwich with their £50K per week players turned the Gas over but only with the referee being paid off by them.............in 10 years or so when most of us can't be arsed to remember the detail, those become the facts. #Gaslogic Edited January 19 by Numero Uno 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 So now they have a new stand with ‘new seats’ and no one is tempted to sit in it… Looks like well under 7500 home fans bought tickets so far. Almost all of the south stand tickets still on sale and seats and standing almost everywhere. Disappointing after all the noise over not being able to get tickets for Norwich.

If they wanted to improve their ‘facilities’, and given their mysterious graveyard archipelago of repurposed and redundant sheds, gazebos and pavilions, then the Carnival of Canvas end was probably the place to start. Never mind the Great Planning Permission Fiasco of 2023, the idea, these days, is modern stadia (or parts thereof) must provide additional revenue streams. From the images of that overgrown Meccano set I’ve seen, there doesn’t seem too much scope for anything much in the way of Merch, or food outlets. Currently, the Jerk King’s off, but even so, there doesn’t appear to be room for him to swing a bottle of Grace Jamaican Ketchup anyway. It looks cheap, flimsy and very temporary. It’s going to look very shabby very quickly, which is provably not a problem as the property developing owner will be able to take it down as soon as he has a buyer for the land it’s my guess. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When their attendance drops back down to its usual sub 8k, the one thing that won't be able to bring themselves to say is "ah well the Shit were at home so that will have affected our crowd". The stupid thing is, they might have kept some of the floating voters if they had thought about it. Take a leaf out of our book, £10 an adult £5 a kid in our new "stand", but no, they are charging pretty much the same as we are for a Championship game against a side with a reasonably high profile. It's airs and graces again no matter who is in charge, they can't bring themselves to think about how they could potentially pull in a few extra supporters by recognising that they are less of a draw so need to make themselves more attractive.
