BetterRedthanBlue Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I will give credit to the fans that went last night given the conditions (and Exeter seemed to bring a fair few).

Bristol Rob Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Gaschat is more amusing than usual at the moment, quite a few of them are having some significant doubts about the new owners who aren't just NOT spending money, but they're PRETENDING to spend money giving the impression that all is ticking along nicely whilst not delivering anything - safe in the knowledge that the DIY stand they can't fill must show how serious they are about doing stuff. I'm sure they'll kick a few signings over the line and make their squad more competitive, but if you were an agent, you'd be negotiating an 'avoiding relegation' bonus in to any contract rather than a promotion bonus. My guess - 3 years from now, they'll still be lower league, the Mem will have had a few more licks of paints and the club will be knee-deep in 'ground development' borrowing with no obvious way out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living local to the Mem, I can assure you that 'most Gas live local' isn't true. You see more kids wearing City shirts walking around Gloucester Road than you do kids in Fewer shirts. Same goes for the pubs. Granted, outside of a match-day none of the pubs in the area are overly 'football', mostly they're generic 'student friendly' places which may show Premier League games, but given they've played at Eastville, Bath and now the Mem, they're far more spread than they'd want to admit. Locally, more people who like sport live give the impression that they'd rather see the Bears than the Fewers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Perhaps the owners are more savvy than Gas fans are crediting them with. Unsure about just how much potential is there, they build a cheap stand but big enough to make a difference then sit back to see how many turn up. If they fill it, then continue to expand. If not then no point in building more stands. It is actually the reverse of the Costner film. If they don't turn up he won't build more. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
