Their level of delusion is insane. Maybe you’re just shit? ”If Wael and his cronies had been covertly placed in charge of our club in order to deliberately sabotage and destroy us he wouldn't be doing things much differently than he is doing now. He raised fans expectations with a pack of lies,consistently sold our best players without replacing them, allowed us to function for several seasons without a real striker and that situation looks as though its about to continue with the transfer window closing tonight,and allowed one of the best managers in lower league football to leave. I know it has been joked about but I wouldn't completely rule out Lansdown being involved what else could explain their inexplicable behaviour.

Interesting comparison between themselves, St Pauli in Hamburg and Union Berlin. Both of the German clubs have redeveloped stadiums, nothing like the dump in BS7. They want to do a 'Cardiff or Brighton', both of those are in 1 club cities and Brighton paid £93M to build the Amex while Cardiff sold their original stadium site to developers to fund their part of the CCS but, I repeat, they're in a 1 club city. R*vers are up to their eyes in debt to the value of the site so that's not an option. IF the muppets in BS7 had the funding (clearly they don't have a penny to scratch their arses with), they would get a stadium at some point. If they want something for nothing from the council, yes, we will ask for the same amount of money as we live in a 2 club (for now at least ) city and the council have to be seen to be fair to both. Always the victim that lot and want something handed to them for nothing. The rest of the world pays their way but not them. Always everybody elses (our) fault. Finances are always overlooked on their forums, they can't afford a new stadium, simples! Sod them!

Been in work 90 minutes. The bitterness and hatred this morning. Is brilliant. You can imagine the shit they are coming out with. Love it

Rovers Independent forum. To be fair, I see that Bamber Gasgroin replied : Well, you called out what you perceive as a conflict of interests, I countered by pointing out that whilst your 'Plant' was still in place an agreement was reached between Higgs and UWE, that agreement was acceptable as a basis for our present owners to purchase the club, so I'm struggling to see what your point is? Taylor himself is a side show, but it shows where we are when removing a player who barely makes their bench is enough to scupper us completely. We can challenge what's happening in BS3, all it takes is vision and investment. You can't spend your entire life blaming other people for your own failure, or maybe you can.... Followed up by PHilton : I’m with you Bamber. Higgs was comfortable with his business partners so not sure what the objection is now? Our new friend, or maybe not so new, wants somebody to take up his gauntlet but that’s not the way it works here. You either stop dropping hints and tell the whole story or you are wasting your time. Watola always told the board that Bristol Rugby wouldn’t be missed very much in terms of finanace. Rovers couldn’t afford to finance the women’s team so it was salvaged by Filton College. A previous board pissed off Filton College which allowed Bristol City to jump in and attach their Academy there and subsequently take over the women’s team. All I See is us screwing it up and City taking advantage. Worryingly rational Gassers there...

I'm sure they are hoping that the council will build them a stadium, but they are overlooking a vital point... They are closing libraries, not building new ones.

Hillarious tinfoil hattery on display there. "Bristol Sport have always shown they put their interests first" - er, like evey other company in the world. And how funny is that whole outraged indignation, coming from a fan of the club that tried to steal AG in 1982 and subsequently stitched up Bristol Rugby through utter chicanery.

Just imagine if you’d have won that bet now... you’d probably be able to afford to buy the whole club..!

With all this delusional self-pitying conspiracy theory nonsense today I’ve completely lost track of the rota showing who’s on pelting duty at the Mem for the Sunderland game next week?

Yep. SL, even though he has a multi Billion £ business empire plus a successful multi Million £ sporting company to run, spends all his time worrying about what a crappy little team at the bottom of the 3rd tier, in a crap stadium with falling crowds, that are all getting old, is doing, all because he was turned down 40 years ago when he offered to invest. Seems credible! ?

It must be killing them at the moment. Fifth in the Championship and 5th round of the FA cup. They are GD out of the league 1 relegation zone and looking forward to Sunderland smashing them in the Checkertrade! I bet if you offered gasheads their relegation to league 2 in exchange for us not getting in the premier league they would bite your hand off!

Top of da morning to you soir. Wat d’yous want?

Wow. There are still some that really think that SL and co are actually afraid of them doing well and "catching up" to us. They are light years behind us, off the field, on the field, "stadium" wise, budget wise...need I go on? It would be great for Bristol to have two clubs in the Premiership, but its never going to happen. The best they can hope for is a push at the League 1 playoffs, and then it would only be by a fluke because it won't be by paying the wages of decent players that can get you out of that league the right way - because they will never pay it (probably more likely would never be able to afford it!!). Their level, whether they like it or not, is L2, L1 at best. The board are full of shit, most of the fans are full of shit, the squad is shit, and the stadium is a nationwide laughing stock. Worried? I'm more concerned that Forest Green will be up challenging us long before the sags ever will. Oh by the way, is their TV ready yet?

So did I.

Lewis Haldane . Wet wipe

If their pitch was, that would be a start.

Haven’t drunk myself into a comatose state for many years, the day they go bust and end up in the lower echelons of nonleague could well be the next time ????

They are getting 2008itis I think? The very thought of the bankrupt 82ers possibly reaching the Premier League is a step too far. They must be feeling sick to the pit of their stomachs already and you can notice the colour draining from their faces everywhere. You can see the fear setting in as it did back then. I think going up would be the final straw for many Sags and they’ll have a TOTEal meltdown. They’ll turn on Wally and they will start getting funny with Ted’s entirely without any provocation whatsoever. But then, come the beginning of the following season they’ll all be chirping and be putting their money on us being relegated, they will love every second of it and will be posting all kinds of jibes. They’ll have new hero’s like Aguero to invite to their annual 2nd May reunion parties where they all get their ageing tote ends out for a mutual tug.

Agent Wael? In all seriousness, we would be better off if they did go 'pop'. The party might leave a fair few of us needing medical treatment though. ?

That’s ok Lewis...we can’t stand you either, Nob head.

Good God. I like watching those conspiracy theory shows on Blaze and they are good entertainment, but nothing as good as seeing these guys cooking up a conspiracy for themselves. Regarding SL's involvement in the UWE, it's neither here nor there, he is one voice, the issues with UWE that Hamer referred to were explained by the Rovers, it was because they couldn't own the land or stadium outright because of they way HP had designed the covenants. "We moved the rugby club" ? They were selling the mem, they wanted the rugby club out of the way, they got their wish. Why would we have a state of the art stadium and a pitch suitable for Premiership and then decide to continue to rent the mem, just to give little Bristol Rovers money? The rest of that post is just a rant of misery and delusion, when was the last time they played in front of 10kish crowds, why on earth would they need a stadium like Cardiffs or Brightons, absolutely incredible.

Thought that when he played for the fewers !

"We would have had the training ground but Bristol Sport bought up all of the grass seeds and so we can't plant any"

I believe the term used for such credibility in the Oxford Dictionary is #gaslogic.....

I am so embarrassed that we took more on an away trip than they manage to get for their home games.

Lansdown could give them £100 million and they’d still find some way to balls everything up. Proper Clown show. No wonder this thread is so long.

I actually laughed out loud when the nutjob said about settling for the Mem and playing in front of 10k-ish crowds in L1 or L2. They haven’t regularly played in front of 10k-ish crowds since the early 70s. Paranoid idiots, they’re wired to the ******* moon.

Have the local media not reported this perhaps because it is utter tosh. Do they still believe money wasn't the reason it didn't happen. Sorry I forgot Waels massive financial input to the club recently.

They are still looking on Gum tree for someone local who is looking to punt out a telly stand. Once they have that, the telly will be good to go.

Obsessed! You’d think they’d still be celebrating being out of the relegation zone, for another few days, at least..!

There’s a blast from the past. ”tick tock shitheads, tick tock” How’s that working out for them? ?

Are they saying "tick tock, we are coming for you"?

I can think of at least one member of the Rentaghost household who wouldn’t be happy with the gas coming to visit... (and it’s not the one that looks like Gary Penrice)
