Saw a quote on twitter 'we'll sit down next week and go thru budgets. I'm not expecting a top 6 budget, it would be nice to be top 10' or words to that affect So, the 6th richest club in the UK don't even have a top 6 budget for Div 3. Mind you, they are up against some massive clubs down there. Walsall, Shrewsbury, Southend and the like ******* tinpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 It's brill being in a two club City....couldn't imagine it without the "annoying nephew" (yes, that mob) to tease and pick fun at....I'll never forget the clown and his comments on their forum when we signed Tammy on loan - it was something along the lines of: "Why has that guy from Chelsea chosen them over us? There is absolutely no reason for that decision, they ain't bigger than us, we are richer than them...I can't believe it." etc etc etc.... That to me summed up their delusions of grandeur perfectly. Mind you when we were below them in the 80s (div 4 vs div 3) I was still convinced we were bigger than them and regularly used adolescent arguments to state my case! Even having a ranty letter published in the Evening Post (as it was called then) because their chairman called them "Bristol's leading club...." - I merely stated that if they hadn't given away over 2,000 free tickets to one of their home games then their div 3 crowd would have been smaller than our previous div 4 home game...etc etc etc! Oh the joys of youthful determination! And it happens everywhere - on one of my many trips to see the mighty Partick Thistle I was having a cup of tea with their manager at the time (the irrepressible Dick Campbell!) and he said the biggest problem he had was that Thistle fans genuinely believe they are the 3rd biggest club in Scotland.....I'd say 2nd now! So, every fan thinks their club is bigger than they actually are, but in a two club City, it's just funnier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally gets rolled out when ever Ian is mentioned so perhaps because he hasn't been on our radar in a while (until he was re-appointed at QPR), that's why. Good ain't it?

Without a camera stuck in his face he drops the act and turns back into the bitter Banjo Island sag that he is. He only just managed to hold it together in the Press Conference after the QPR match and even then he had to have a little swipe at the fact the Atyeo wasn't replaced in the redevelopment. The Atyeo Stand would be the pride of the Mem if they had anything like it. It's got a proper roof for a start. Bloke's a grade A tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
