This made I laugh..!

There are only 2 types of supporter in Bristol. You are either City or anti-City.

Yep, always excuses. They’ve got their own ground in the heart of their community, it’s not great but it’s got seated areas, it’s got terracing, their fans are supposed to be ‘real football fans’ not ‘plastic’ yet they still claim thousands stay away due to the facilities. I dunno about anyone else but I go to football to watch football (I’d actually prefer to stand up like they can). After the UWE collapse they were all over Social Media with their new mantra ‘if they play on the streets, we’ll watch from the pavement’ Yeah right, course you would. How they’ve got the nerve to slag off other clubs support when they’ve got a catchment area of at least 250,000 and yet can’t manage 9k Rovers fans at home or average over 10k for 4 decades is beyond me? I’ve said before on here that I was looking forward to hearing their excuses when the UWE Stadium was up and running and their crowds were still around the 9/10k mark. I remember them saying that we would never fill AG unless we were playing the Gas and we’ve proved them wrong several times. Also plenty of 20k+ crowds at AG this season despite the last 4 months of dross but then as always we ‘walk the walk’ whereas they have always just ‘talked the talk’.

One of them just told me that the majority of Bristol supports them but they don't want to go down to the mem... You can't make it up really...

To be fair, they are practically doing that now....

....and even then they stole that quote from Glasgow Rangers fans as the proud Bears went through their recent demise and subsequent recovery....

It looks as though it might take time..!

Sooner or later I might dawn on them that it’s not the venue that’s the issue..! The only consistent thing during the last 40 years is that people don’t want to watch them!

Update: They are currently 11th (4 games to play), 56 points, GF 58, GA 62, GD -4 Last season they finished 10th, 66 points, GF 68, GA 70, GD -2 So 10 points and 10 goals shy of last season #evolution #thesethingstaketime

They’ve had a higher average attendance than us ONCE in the last 53 years. So yeah, I’m sure most of Bristol supports them, it’s just that their fans have been boycotting League games for half a century. I like your mate’s argument though, he’s basically saying most Gasheads are ‘plastic’ fans who won’t attend a football match unless they can sit in a nice comfy seat... Idiots.

Can you blame them? That one point puts them perfectly between giants Blackpool and Fleetwood in 11th place in a league where Shrewsbury are 3rd and Scunthorpe are 5th. I'm sure they're still celebrating that historical point this very second.

Which was our promotion season, their average was skewed by a 26000 gate at Eastville on Good Friday. Without the 20000 or so reds that day the average would have been around 9000.

Watched Creed last night. Was much better than I thought it would be, definitely worth seeing. I know Tony Bellew loves to talk about his role in it at any given opportunity, but I was surprised how much he's actually in it, he has a lot of lines and isn't bad at all.

No need for the word proper in there mate...

That Tranny v Oldham game; as you'll see was at Christmas. In the return game either the day before or after, Oldham beat Tranmere 4-1 Both games were in the 35-36 season and at holiday periods; TR v OA - Christmas and the Luton game at Easter.My Dad once told me that following a 8-3 home defeat, Rovers asked the Bus company to reroute, or renumber, the number 83 service from passing Eastville.

And if you look back to that time on gaschat, one of their posters thought City would buy MT, but then loan him back for the remainder of the season and pay his wages. Also as City would pay £3 - 6 million for him, Rovers could buy a decent strike partner and would consequentially win promotion.
