Very random 

Lewes have a reputation as a well run and progressive club but yes it is a totally random thing to do.

It's harmless nonsense of course but as usual when football clubs try to be funny if just falls flat.

Are we sure it isn't photoshopped though?

Could be aimed at the City women's team/supporters as they play in the same league as Lewes?

That’s possible.

Google says we’ve beaten the 5-0 and 3-0 in recent years.

Have the women’s team been relegated again?

Be a bit daft if it was from a gashead though wouldn't it?

If you’ve been mocked and laughed at on Sky by Yeovil fans then it’s probably going to scar you for a long time...

Let’s be honest, the Gas don’t come up with many original ideas themselves ?

Definitely not photo shopped. I live near Lewes and the sign is real.

I think we should turn this into a thing.  Let’s retaliate with a few “who the **** are Lewes” banners, and get a few anti-Lewes chants going. We can even invent our own derogatory nickname for them, like LOSE-es, LOO-is or EEEEEWis.

You’re just a small town in Brighton.

In 2001 Mangotsfield United played Lewes in the 4th (final) qualifying round of the FA Cup. 1500 at Cossham Street. The Mango fans were singing 'We've got David Seal' and 'Feed the Seal and he will score'. At the end of the match it was nil nil and a Lewes fan piped up about David Seal saying that Mangotsfield could keep him and a fat lot of good he did. 

I thought it was disrespectful to an ex-Bristol City striker so what they have done now doesn't surprise me. 

Mangotsfield United lost the replay two nil.

Removed the blokes surname, but my guess is that this is why:

"Volunteer of The Week'! This week we caught up with Supporters Club member Terry [surname]. Terry is originally a Bristolian and a lifelong Bristol Rovers fan but he now shares his allegiances with Lewes FC and spends many of his Saturdays down at the Pan carrying out vital maintenance work.

We asked Terry - mid-hammer blow - those three all important questions. He considered each one carefully before replying with his soft Bristol lilt...

Why did you choose to volunteer for Lewes FC?

“I don’t think I actually did volunteer - it just happened. I was here one day and some-one said, ‘You’ll do this won’t you?’ and next thing I knew I was painting toilets!”

Which team would you most like us to beat?

“Always Bristol City”

If you could put a message on a billboard for all the world to see, what would it be?

“Try and get on with life: don’t fret, don’t hassle people, don’t be extreme!”"

 

Not sure I believe that last sentence of his! Pretty funny though, fair play to him if he's the culprit!

Good detective work, looks like the culprit.

Terry (if he was born here he's still a Bristolian, if evidently a sadly misguided one) probably left Bristol to get away from Rovers.

If he'd much rather paint toilets in another part of the country than watch them who can blame him?

As a lifelong Gashead he'll be used to non-league football and ramshackle facilities. He has an affinity.

I intentionally hid his surname - it's probably pretty embarrassing for so many people who may well have considered him a friend to now realise he's got such a horrible past he's clearly tried to escape. Have some respect.

Over a long enough period of time few things do.

Im glad that most are seeing the fun in a little bit of banter and not frothing at the mouth and threatening all sorts of nonsense towards the perpetrator like Gasheads were doing when that Yeovil fan did it.

Retaliate against Lewes FC with banners and chants?! Really?! They are just having a laugh - good on them! They’d give anything to be in our position in the football pyramid - so let them mock and have fun, it’s harmless!

Not again…. ? Read my post from further up the thread where I’ve very clearly said that I appreciated their humour and the randomness.

I just thought it might be fun to have a good natured pop back and a bit of a laugh… maybe we could even form a totally random link with their fans. I guess that tone didn’t come across well in my post as that’s two people now that thought I was genuinely angry at a seventh tier football club. ?

Lewes FC have a lovely set up, owned by their fans (including me...) and some of the best graphics advertising their games.

http://www.urban75.org/blog/the-wonderful-posters-of-lewes-fc-a-member-owned-lower-league-team/ 

They were pioneers in paying their women's FC properly, which is why they are in the women's championship. As a Lewes born and bred, Bristol based Red (and black) I think we should sing their praises, despite being hijacked by a g*shead....

I think I may have met this guy. Was at The Dripping Pan back in March, when City Women beat Lewes Women 3-0. Saw a random guy in a Rovers shirt & got chatting to him; I think he said he was from Eastville(?) but had moved down to Sussex & become a fan of Lewes (men & women) too. Wore a Rovers shirt deliberately as City were playing.

I think I had uploaded the photo already, but here is my photo of the board at Lewes from when I was there...
Good model that they have down in Lewes; passionate supporters supporting equal opportunities

I live in Lewes, as do a fair few other City fans living in the town or nearby. It’s a lovely place with a slightly renegade spirit. The club is great, fan owned, not for profit, all about equality. Mike Bayly recently voted The Dripping Pan as no.1 in his recent book ‘British Footballs Greatest Grounds’

I do know of the suspect sag in question, he’s also responsible for a gas scarf fixed to the back of the main stand. Wouldn’t it be great if this ‘hilarious’ prank backfired and it became the catalyst for some kind of connection between City & Lewes...

I’m up the road in Newick, as to a connection, their are plenty of good pubs to connect in at Lewes . I have been to Lewes FC numerous times , my son played for their U18’s, I know the grounds man , Roger, however it is a bloody long way from Bristol for a social. They do put up a collection of other clubs scarfs at the back of their stand, maybe a large Bristol City addition could be fun?

Harvey's brewery of Lewes seem to have a pretty good estate of tied houses in Sussex.  I used to be partial to a pint of Harvey's Best when I drank in their London pub, the Cat's Back near Wandsworth Bridge.

Harvey’s is basically a religion down here. The brewery dominates the town and has done since the 1700’s

Can second that, usual choice of beer when visiting family in Sussex. Dark Star is also acceptable, although no longer independent.

Okay, fair one, it was me. Don't worry, this isn't a Gashead infiltrating, just a Gashead who has signed up to set the record straight. Born in Eastville, then joined the Army in '77 and met a Sussex lass. Now support The Gas and Lewes FC where I volunteer on the SC Committee, do stewarding and maintenance.

At the end of last season the match board was still showing the final game so I was asked to clear it. The temptation was too great.  No offence intended, just a bit of banter. I never expected it to be seen outside of Lewes. In fact, being on a no-through-road, it was only likely to be seen by people on their way to the council tip. It's come down now. As it happened, a lass from your women's team was coming for a look round and diplomacy prevailed. 

On the back wall of the main stand are just over 70 scarves from around the world. Rovers and City are represented. Rovers prominently, City maybe less so, but that's what happens when a Gashead puts the scarves up ?.

Anyway, good luck for the season. Please don't get relegated, then we can have a couple of derbys when we come up for the 23/24 season.

Sounds like there are a few City fans in Lewes. You may have prompted them to turn up en masse and drape the area behind the goal with City flags!

Fair play mate. Top banter.

It must be tough putting in all the hard yards at a tiny ramshackle ground with only a few stands, small gates, lower league football and a much bigger and more successful neighbour just down the road but anyway, enough about Bristol Rovers.

Wish Lewes FC every success for the season.

Not again…. ? Read my post from further up the thread where I’ve very clearly said that I appreciated their humour and the randomness.

I just thought it might be fun to have a good natured pop back and a bit of a laugh… maybe we could even form a totally random link with their fans. I guess that tone didn’t come across well in my post as that’s two people now that thought I was genuinely angry at a seventh tier football club. ?

Okay, fair one, it was me. Don't worry, this isn't a Gashead infiltrating, just a Gashead who has signed up to set the record straight. Born in Eastville, then joined the Army in '77 and met a Sussex lass. Now support The Gas and Lewes FC where I volunteer on the SC Committee, do stewarding and maintenance.

At the end of last season the match board was still showing the final game so I was asked to clear it. The temptation was too great.  No offence intended, just a bit of banter. I never expected it to be seen outside of Lewes. In fact, being on a no-through-road, it was only likely to be seen by people on their way to the council tip. It's come down now. As it happened, a lass from your women's team was coming for a look round and diplomacy prevailed. 

On the back wall of the main stand are just over 70 scarves from around the world. Rovers and City are represented. Rovers prominently, City maybe less so, but that's what happens when a Gashead puts the scarves up ?.

Anyway, good luck for the season. Please don't get relegated, then we can have a couple of derbys when we come up for the 23/24 season.

Dog, old bean, as you’re a Rovers fan I can see why you’re attracted to Lewes FC. The Dripping Pan is on the way to the Council tip and the Rovers ground is a council tip. Home from home. By the way, keep putting up amusing messages on the  ground’s sign. Try something about Man Utd. That would get you a lot of reaction from the thousands of Man Utd “supporters” who live in the south east.

We could call the campaign:

Cancel Lewes If They Orchestrate Rovers Inclusive Signage

But there's only one drawback with that, it stands for Clitoris.

Fair play ??

A Gashead that can own up and take the banter like a proper bloke.
