Open End Numb Legs Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 As usual, a mix of deluded and sensible on their forum. One person suggesting they have room for a stadium up to 25k and if they get to the Championship, they could fill it. Another pointing out they get a third of our attendances these days, the kids around Bristol are all wearing red and where are all these fans expecting to suddenly appear from? Who to believe?

It's a real stretch to get one over us. TBF, they can't rely on highest attendance, highest average attendance or any other sensible stat . So go for the highest, lowest attendance FFS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Media will be flooded with videos about this. No more will clubs be ranked on average attendances, league positions, honours or stadium capacity…no! From now on every club will be ranked by their highest lowest attendances but NOT their lowest highest attendances. Use figures from 7 decades ago because that’ll be relevant. Maybe use a percentage of something in relation to something else. #Gasmath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it funny how they try at every topic around stadium and attendances to find some way to better us. I had some Gas idiot trying to convince me last season that they knew “for a fact” that despite official attendances of 20k+ we rarely had over 11/12k in the ground.

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 This 'build it and they will come' fantasy. From their forum:- ........there is a lot of gas support out there and not just in Bristol, I’ve seen far more gas shirts in Wiltshire than city ones. I have lived in Wiltshire for 59 years. I cannot recall ever seeing a Rovers shirt in Wiltshire. It is mostly Bath rugby shirts, the odd City shirt, the odd Swindon shirt (only in the Swindon area), plus of course the usual PL team shirts in the age groups where winning a trophy makes for playground bragging rights.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 On 05/02/2024 at 08:23, GreedyHarry said: The latest example of ‘gas logic’ and obscure stats. A dangerous mix. Apparently according to this ‘club legend’ you can measure good, better best by the biggest lowest attendance. Yes that’s correct. The biggest lowest attendance! So, whilst referencing a nickname that in their heads means we are a 44 year old club, then goes on to show they are much better than us on ‘biggest lowest attendance’ for large swathes of a time that we apparently didn’t exist. However when we did exist then it would seem that we even beat them on this remarkable stat. I think the last straw may have been clutched. playtowin Club Legend 13 hours ago Just for reference. Bcfc1982ltd sports dept. Have only had 1 season that bettered our 1954 best lowest gate. Our 8078 lowest gate season was also better than 22 of 'their' seasons since 1961. To be fair i have to admit their lowest gate figures since 2016 have been pretty good. Ok, so Ive figured it out. Their highest lowest gate is irrelevant because we’ve had a season with a higher lowest gate which beats all of their highest lowest gates including the highest lowest gate from 70 years ago. Their lowest highest gate is lower than ours as is their lowest lowest gate. Our highest highest gate is higher than theirs. Hope this helps. 1 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
