They're bricking it big time. Their worst nightmares are not their own failings, but our success. They could live with the humiliation of non-league football, but the thought of us playing premier league football, scares them sh*tless. It's not about them coming for us, it's about them dragging us down to their level.

I hadn`t thought of that. That was their half time team talk sorted then - the manager just had to show the players a photo of where they could be going for a replay if they didn`t sort themselves out.

Oh Gaschat - how I love thee.. "In the time the Al-Qadis have owned BRFC, Lansdown has rebuilt Ashton Gate, invested in quality players and as a result City are competing for promotion to the Premier League. Simultaneously, Wael has destroyed the last hope (UWE) of Rovers competing with them .. oh, and erected a small tent. But he stands with the faithful on the terraces now and again, so he must be a good bloke."

I think Hav has misunderstood Coombsy's post. He has a tendency to quote things from their forum without quotation marks so it looks like the comments are his rather than from the gas forum.

I laughed out loud as I looked around our great stadium while the Cardiff supporters sang "You're just a shit Bristol Rovers". If they'd been there recently, they'd know that there already is a shit Bristol Rovers and that any comparison (apart, of course from the Championship ready sprinklers) most certainly doesn't apply to us.

The reason he stands on the terraces is that he cannot afford a stand seat.

Cheers mucker!!!

Their season means nothing to them now. The fact we even have a small 1% chance of doing the unthinkable they'll be more focused on us than ever.

It does sound as though a Medium could help! Glad to say that totally rules me out, as I'm virtually a XXL now... FTG

I think you're doing a great job of not gloating.

I think some people are getting carried away with the speculation about BRFC and their finances. After all, this is pure conjecture on most of our parts, with little to go on except the company accounts, Chairman's statements of running costs, physical evidence of no investment in the playing staff or the stadium (haha, stadium), rumours about why bills not paid, no plans for the colony yet, no plans for redevelopment yet, rumours about the owners Wael and family trying to sell, they could all of a sudden just announce massive investment. And some on here creaming themselves about them possibly going into administration if their losses continue. I believe we should take a step back and see how things develop before shouting too much. Fat lady and all that. **** it, let's just have a laugh at their predicament.

It will probably be busier than their ticket office.

Best / Worst case scenario. 2018/19 season sees City in the Prem, Rovers in League 2. Young kids getting interested in football, which team will they latch on to? As examples I offer Man U & Bury or WHU & Orient, or going back in years; Liverpool & Southport.

Poppys are red mind; maybe somebody just forgot to include a contrasting outline so you can see it.

Why are we not wearing shirts with poppies on like so many other teams have done and then we could have auctioned them off Is it that bad we can't afford the shirts?

"I have tried to contact someone at Rovers over the years, but have never got a reply". Perhaps that's because he is a Hypnotherapist and not a Medium conducting seances?

Goodnight Irene Drewrey?

He’s bailing the water out the boat, if he goes that boat will sink

So what happened to the 2.5-3000? Gutted for them really, after only 10 minutes they were already dreaming about drawing us next round for their big cup final. Obviously don’t know how the FA Cup works for Prem and Championship sides.
