Devastating scenes at the Mem following the earthquake in Bristol this afternoon ...

Sadly the new purpose built disabled section also suffered damage.

That's because he IS a rude, arrogant, sulky little shit. ...and a cock.

It’s amazing isn’t it? A local amateur rugby team who get crowds of a hundred or so get an £8m stadium. At the same time a football team, with the 6th richest man in the world as owner, just gets new sprinklers

Made Jnr look like a pub brawler for most of the fight. Jnr needs a decent trainer and fast, hopelessly one-dimensional tonight.

Dready Zlatan is back!

Main stand took a bit of a hammering as well. They have put out an SOS for some boy scouts to come to their aid.

If you build it, they will come. If you steal it, only 8,500 will bother.

separated at birth

To be honest I would be a bit worried if I saw that lot coming down a dark alley. They have a reputation for keeping a clean manor...

I'll just leave this here....

It’ll be good for ‘Bristol football’ if City get promoted to the Premiership but there won’t be any Gasheads rooting for that. Personally I don’t care about Bristol football, I only care about Bristol City who IMO are the only club in this City who have ever shown any real ambition anyway. As we’ve seen this season we are perfectly capable of providing a good impression of football in this area on our own. The longer they stay in our shadows the better. Having them in the Championship is like putting Holloway on TV....does very little to improve the tinpot, bumpkin image many outsiders have of our wonderful City.

Smith wins this tournament cosily

What a display from Groves so far.

Sick entrance music for the pair of them

In the light of the earthquake today combined the the heartbreaking scenes of Bristol Rovers fans trapped in a tiny confined space with only a single 48" TV screen to keep them in touch with reality, Oxfam has announced it will deploy its resources to the Memorial Ground to fck some sense into them.

I expect most Gasheads probably didnt even realise they were playing today as they were so busy running around ASDA this afternoon picking up supplies of Fosters, Pringles and tissues.

That IS santa's grotto !

Other people’s. They only lick there own windows

Don`t worry, they still have their most important game of the weekend to come on Sky tomorrow afternoon.

5 quid in advance, 7 on the day.

The things they’ll do to draw out a police horse..!

The gifting goes on tonight. I’m hearing there’s been a spot of bother down there in “Sag Heartland” at the King Billy, Warmley. Large scale disorder so say. Some City chaps there laughing their behinds off who are describing it as “ha ha, it’s Rovers onto Rovers. And they’re arguing about City”. Oh my days.

Hi Newbie. We haven’t had a year where we have spent most of the season mid table League 1 for ages. In 2013/14 we’d been relegated back to League 1 after one of the most depressing seasons in my memory. We sold approx 8.5k STs that year iirc (unlike the Gas who only managed to shift 5k after promotion). We spent the first 6 months of that season in the bottom 4, even finding ourselves bottom at Christmas and we averaged 12k. Yes, we had a reduced capacity that season of around 12.5k/13k including whatever allocation away fans were given. Basically the home sections of AG were pretty much full for most of the season. I’m surprised you don’t remember this? Neither us or Rovers have a big fan base considering the size of a City like Bristol. Looking at the historical attendances of the two clubs however you have to conclude that either more Bristolians are City fans or City fans in general are more loyal and more willing to put money into our club than Rovers fans do. I don’t buy the facilities argument. The old Ashton Gate was hardly an example of modern day luxury. Rovers fans bang on about how they’re ‘real’ fans whilst we are ‘plastic’....it’s bollocks. When push comes to shove the whole facilities thing is just excuses not to go and watch the team they say they love on a Saturday afternoon. Lets not forget all the ‘if they play on the road we’ll watch from the pavements’ nonsense they were spouting when the UWE went down the bog. If ‘loyal’ Gasheads won’t show up unless they’ve got a nice comfy seat to sit in Ive got to say that sounds pretty ‘plastic’ to me.

So you are comparing a season where we only had approximately half the capacity available due to a rebuild? A season where we had to give a big section of the ground over to the away support, whether they had any chance of filling it or not, due to segregation? With logic like that I am sure you might actually survive the Gaschat censorship, if you decided to post over there.

He ate his money which is why he is skint and fat

It's obvious, they have to do it because the self proclaimed world's bestest fans are ripping their own club off.

Why on earth would they want to do that with a new stadium on it’s way? I know so cos Henbury Gas said it the other day.

Being a Rovers supporter some of the worst football you will ever see in your life is the standard, week in and week out.

Is that a 1980,s tv their sqinting to watch? It looks like a Velux window to me

What goes around, comes around.

Or head butting car windows .

**** me it’s the Beverley Hillbillies AKA The clampetts

Handy to know there's a nuclear bunker close by if Kim Jong kicks off though..

Those Wombles, just assuming Rovers were a bottom 4 side because they have a tramp playing for them... Tut tut.

.....new balls please. #givafukreally

Today's earthquake @the mem has caused thousands of pounds worth of improvements

Haha, I think we all know the answer to that one! Post 'em up everyone!

What scenes of devastation, it`s truly heartbreaking when something that has taken so long to build is destroyed in an instant by the forces of nature. Surely the council can step in and help the poor souls can`t they? It`s what we pay our council tax for after all, to provide services for those in need. #prayforrovers

They have had him in Boxing News this week too, did the Mail lift it from there I wonder? I thought this was the most interesting quote from Booth: “In terms of difficulty, Eubank is tougher than anyone Groves has boxed. If he can’t keep Eubank on the end of that long jab, the fight is incredibly hard for Groves and Eubank will be the hardest opponent he has fought. “A lot depends on whether Groves can control the distance and whether he’s emotionally and technically competent enough when he can’t control the distance. But they are both wrong for each other. Eubank is potentially going to be hit harder than he ever has been hit. I don’t think George will be hit harder than he ever has been hit, but, if he allows Eubank to claim that space, he will certainly be hit more than he’s ever been hit.” From here: http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/adam-booth-on-george-groves-and-chris-eubank-jr-spars-there-was-only-one-occasion-when-one-was-slightly-hurt/

Well so much for “faithful and true” then eh!? You saggies can't have it both ways.. you can't claim to be such wonderful fans then say that thousands are staying away because of the state of the ground and the fact you are crap. That would make you just as fickle and fairweather as anybody else wouldnt it? So which is it? Either you have a fan base that is loyal but much smaller than ours, or you have a potentially bigger fanbase that can't be arsed to go and watch second rate football.

When we were bottom of league one, having not won a league game all season on a Tuesday night in October at home to Brentford, we still had an attendance of 10.6k. Rovers have yet to have an attendance higher than that this season....

Almost as if he wasn't an actual City fan .

Fair play mate. Despite the knobend he latterly morphed into, I still love Froch and his belligerence as a fighter. His bouts against Taylor, Bute, both Kessler fights and the first Groves one were absolutely mint. No shame in being outsmarted by Ward either. Granite chinned bastard haha. Edit, never get tired of the end of the Taylor fight To quote Rob McCracken 'he's ******* hard, Froch'

What a bunch of absolute belters. ”envied away followings” Take a day off you deluded Sag idiots. Same club that takes barely 300 to Gillingham, Rochdale and Bradford and even less to Scunthorpe...all on Saturday afternoons. Yeah I expect fans of clubs up and down the country dream of travelling in such huge numbers Sleeping Giants? Haha, brilliant! Average crowds of around 9k last year, which was their highest for FOUR DECADES, bang average away support for a mid table L1 club and the worst ground in the League yet they think they’re massive. They’ve actually got the nerve to call us deluded. You’re right, he bottled any opportunity to show us proof and even changed the story about what happened several times. Didn’t stop the other gullible morons on Slagchat lapping it up. If I remember correctly they even deleted the thread, presumably because the mods on there finally realised that they had been taken for a ride by a total bullshitter.... again.

As I remember it, he was invited to show proof of this disabled red, supposedly attacked by our supporters in the stadium, and didn't, it was denied by both the football club AND Avon and Somerset police, wasn't seen by anyone in the 20,000+ crowd and was proven to be bullshit! IIRC, wasn't there talk of a libel suit against Henbury numbnuts for blatant lies? If that's 'proving us wrong', I would love to know what the weather is like on his / her / it's planet? What a bell end!

You've gotta love them... http://gaschat.co.uk/post/368999/thread

To be fair, City have been pretty good at that too over the years....

Uh nope. "It would be good for Bristol football ...". That's the sort of thing that you'd expect the mayor to say and with respect, he and his tube system are 'kin delusional. How exactly would it be good for Bristol football? I can only think of one - it would benefit the 15ers. It wouldn't benefit us, Manor Farm, Mangos etc, Downs football yada, yada. So where would you see benefit?
