(in the same way City vs Plymouth is) I know you have a stronger rivalry against Oxford, Swindon and Newport (and Wycombe, is it?) - but surely a west country derby against Exeter should get a lot more than that!! Fair play to the 512 from Exeter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Judah_Eskendar_Tafar Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 I understand there were ‘Boos’ at the end of yesterday evening’s game. Though to be fair there was also some applause. Sadly however, it turns out the applause was for those booing. It’s seems this morning that many of the great unwashed are in pessimistic mood. I, on the other hand, am quite optimistic about their pessimism, but then I’m a stand half-full kind of bloke. 1 1 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 38 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: 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. Yep, I live around there too. Among my near neighbours, the only people who I know to have any interest in local football are another City season ticket holder (as am I), a lifelong Rovers fan who rarely attends games, and an exiled Crystal Palace fan from South London, who goes to watch the Rovers occasionally just to see a game. BS7 is (thankfully) not a gas heartland, if such a place even exists any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 We’ve got our own Massimo who turned up and made a mess of Leeds. Everyone at the club knows it was Abdullatif who pulled the plug on the JCH deal, I was told this by an employee of Peterborough as well. 11th December I said the owners son had stopped hotel accommodation for the Crewe away game and our management was upset……….prior to this I said we had no one to take training because Mangs and Whelan had walked out, Whelan did first. Abdullatif offered Robinson, Monk and promised Mangs the job, the latter is why Whelan downed tools, false promises. Finely comes out publicly to the media and says the manager needs help with his own team. Matt Taylor had to beg and move heaven and earth to get Jamie McAllister in, he’s cheap as well! No Head of Media at the club, cut back on this wage. We’ve interviewed people from Div1 and 2 clubs, messed one individual around, we are talking proper minimum wage stuff and he said no! Businesses asked to move to 90 days credit account terms, I know this for a fact. I knew this when I left the forum, I am glad Gasehead81 has exposed this now on the Chris Martin thread. Chris Martin protected himself last night, he has a wife and young family. Let’s not blame Gorringe again, he’s now a glorified PA. Matt Taylor said he thought the deal was done, he’d have asked about Martin on Monday when preparing his side. Let’s not kid ourselves, he knows what is going on. That was a professional subtle dig last night, remember how DC did it, same situation. Everything at the club, a pot of Nescafé or a new door handle has to be signed off by this new regime. Bridgwater Gas will come on and say I’m making it up again, Radio Bristol and Dan Hargreaves also know what is going on. I hope the media start to do their jobs properly, when statements are made about us going to the Premiership, simple questions need to be asked like, how? targets years? …………….”we may spend a little this window” on the way off his Premiership statement, alarm bells then. 24th Jan, nothing, manager publicly admitting he doesn’t know what is going on, we’ve got our own Cellino running the club now. (4 players left us as well this window) BTW, banter/abuse about me posting again, don’t waste your energy, I just want Abdullatif Al Saeed to feel some pressure and to start running this club properly. Conteh was just about to sign, again his Cellino style has let in Ipswich, Blackpool and Peterborough now, we had the deal done. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the new guys don’t seem to be living up to expectations. I really hope it goes tits up for them. That was because every year he had to rebuild his squad as he relied on the loan market. It was quite a clever ploy by him, fill the squad with loan signings, then say 'I need 9 new players' - Wally lets him sign them, he then needs a dozen games to get them playing how he wants at which point they are mid-table enough that they couldn't justify sacking him based on team performance. The fans seemed to love being a feeder club for various Premier League sides and assumed that 'Joey had the contacts', they overlooked the fact that to actually progress, you need experienced players alongside your own developing players and the odd loan signing. Not a squad with talented players who know they'll be going home at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fans were getting really excited about their first new stand in literally generations, so would have been clamouring to actually try it out.

Constantly bigging themselves up and telling anyone who’ll listen that they’re so much better than ‘da shit’ and are the loyalist and bestest fans in the world, then when they have to actually put up or shut up, they fail dismally like last night. We constantly hear them claiming they take more fans away than City, or if they had a bigger ground, they’d pack them in. How can they then fall so pathetically short of getting a small but brand new stand even 75% full in a test event in a local derby?

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 6 hours ago, bert tann said: 7468 ( 512 ) South Stand 62% Yep, thanks for posting, as painful as it probably was. A reality check for fans and owners alike. Between you and me I expect that if this test event had been on a warm Saturday in September, with the cheaper tickets, 75% fill would have been achieved. Hence this comes down to the back room planning of the stand. If the stand had been planned correctly you wouldn't have a test event in the middle of a storm in January. There is probably a joke somewhere about the stand being busy due to cattle being kept indoors in winter, but as it is you Bert, we will leave that for another time.

Same as any other club really. Couple of wins, everyone bangs on about promotion, couple of defeats, everyone wants the manager sacked. Last night, the first half was grim as was Saturday, but December- and away to Norwich and Barnsley this month there were impressive performances. Could we be dragged into a relegation battle?

No fresh milk is not an indicator, but losing out on decent players and cancelling team hotels for away games is not a good look, if true. Why do they need fresh milk, when they've got stale Fanta?

I think if the shit they’ve put up with happened here, people would mobilise and the bedsheets would be out in force. Protests, fan ownership etc is never on their agenda. If those ITK’s are correct, they are screwed. lets hope the last bit happens 8 minutes ago, Rocky said: I’ve said for years, the gas majority are happy to stick their heads in the sand and hope all works out well in the end.

It didn't work though, I was in Row G and got soaked, it was a grim old night in more ways than one . It's grim up North (Bristol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm all for taking the piss about attendances, booking hotels in Liverpool, Row M, fake Fanta, flouting planning rules etc. All for that. But. I can't laugh at or find any joy in an owner running a club, any club, into the ground and out of existence. Whatever the history or banter is, we should not make light of this kind of thing. Our own club will undergo a change of ownership in the near future and I would hope we don't find ourselves in a similar position. Football is about laughs, rivalry, and banter, and for that to happen we need clubs to laugh at, to rival, and to banter with. That's my piece on it. Now. 7,500 fans. ******* hell boys sell some tickets already! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
