when your mum makes you cum while your dad does you up the bum thats the Roverz

The famous loyal and true all got abit excited this morning then let down as usual, upon hearing that extremely wealthy people were all clubbing together to help repair a Unique and world famous landmark and have so far raised €600m, ‘we are now the 6th richest club in the country’, ‘tick tock’, ‘we coming for you’ and ‘a new stadium is on its waaaaaaaayy’ was the word on the street. Then came the tears and realisation that the money being raised was in fact going towards Notre Dame and not the world renowned, ‘unique’ dump that the tent dwellers call home.

I think having thought about it a fait bit. The team of the 3 accused I have most issue with is Aston Villa. Sure pretty well all would agree- they've made bits of effort to get in line...then wiped it with loans such as El Ghazi, Tammy, at the more expensive end. Then January signings, oh yeah and Bolasie- though that was cancelled-EFL should throw the book! Did all this and ran up all these losses despite all that parachute money- nuts! On rankings of the other 2, I was going to say Sheffield Wednesday then Derby least. Because the latter for their faults sold Messrs Christie, Hendrick, Hughes, Ince, Vydra and Weimann over last 3 seasons. That would definitely have been looked on as a positive mitigating factor. Whereas Sheffield Wednesday made some efforts but not a lot PLUS reduced transparency further (EFL will have accounts to May 2018 or whenever no doubt) by moving end to 31st July 2018 for period just gone and it being posted on CH day before accounts due to be released. They froze out Westwood and some others under Lukhay purportedly to try to move them on to reduce FFP burden but back in favour now! Perhaps Lukhay just didn't rate them who knows. They also loaned Aarons and Onomah in January I think, plus some others? Now the equation has changed. Aston Villa still top but Derby's sale of all those important players- positive efforts- have mostly been morally cancelled out by claiming about £40-42m in 'profit' from the owner buying the ground off his own club basically. Now between them and Sheffield Wednesday because of that one move I cannot split them. Both pretty bad to a similar level in their own ways- Aston Villa worst of course.

As the inimitable Mark E Smith once famously said after seeing a picture of that week`s floppy haired boy band; `God help us if we have another war`

You sound surprised?

Credit where it's due Surrey were absolutely destroyed there, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch

Wait and see I suppose but the efl have set precedents with the points deduction with Birmingham, how funny would that be, rovers stay up by 5 points the the efa deduct 6 points saving wycombe and relegating the gas

They'll get out of it. They always do. And if the worst does happen, the fewers will claim it's the best thing to ever happen to them, just like going non league was.

Or a 100 too many....

Let's hope so.

Reading the league rules, league one and two clubs have to submit their accounts on the date as advertised on companies house, They could be in serious trouble with the efl, and may have transfer embargo as well as being prevented from register any new players, they could be be in deep shit

Glos 235 all out V Surrey. Sure we have a few Glos fans on here don't we?

I can't believe how supporters who have put their own stewards in hospital, pelted an injured player whilst being stretchered off, punched a horse (twice), started a riot and then blamed someone else, who have been pulled up on numerous occasions for being racist, let their kids go in a filthy old portaloo to see Santa dressed in blue and who punch the opposition players in the back of a net can possibly claim to have more 'class' than Bristol City fans? I suspect they get the £9.50 Sun holiday vouchers and book a week at Pontins Brean too. Their delusion is in another stratosphere.

When you think of your sister... ...and it gives you a blister That's the Rovers

Easier to pick him after doing well then having named him originally if he then doesn't stand out in the ODI's

God knows what Miller has been taking, they must be putting anabol in Big Macs these days. Come on down Dave Allen...

One of those ***** says. ‘ let’s put a rovers badge on some and give them to kids to show the difference in class between us ???? where do you start with this . Well , 500,000 kids a year have their lives enhanced by the community trust. How many over the Easter holidays at the football camps ? Meanwhile they have a thunder box as a Santa’s grotto , sell fake Fanta and out of date crisp and mars bars. ? you stay classy 15ers ?

Haha some people on here will know what I mean and i'm not trying to play the itk, as we are talking teenagers here, but very funny nevertheless...

Having to be in bed by 9pm doesn’t necessarily mean they are scared of the dark..!

Their mums must be so proud. I know that all clubs have dreamers like this, but……………..seriously? None of these lads would have lasted 10 minutes with us in the Falklands. Shame really.

But either way Bailey Wright will receive a three match ban.

It is however ironic to read, in that article, Tony Pulis discussing the adverse impact caused by the financial irregularities of others.

The editorial hierarchy of the Post would never allow that to happen. They'd print a story alluding to them being stolen by a group of thuggish football supporters travelling back from their weekend game in Birmingham. Backed up by pictures of City supporters at AVFC, just after the article full stop.

The gift giveth....and keep on giveth.

??? fvcking priceless. Theyll be raging at that. Protest, boycotts the lot.

Absolutely nothing. Have a cigar.

Brilliant! Just cutting and pasting the whole article in case it disappears: Big Screen Update Bristol Rovers are disappointed to announce that there has been a further delay to the installation of the big screen at the Memorial Stadium, meaning it will not be in operation for tomorrow’s game. As previously stated the club purchased the new 30sqm screen in July last year from Stadia Solutions, a leading international sports and entertainment agency that specialises in fully managed technology and media platforms, with the aim of having the screen installed next to the Brunel sponsored South Stand by the end of 2018. Although the screen was delivered on time in October, due to its size a special bespoke support structure was required to attach the screen to the current steelworks at the stadium. Unfortunately, the unique nature of this structure led to various complications with Stadia Solutions’ sub-contractor, resulting in subsequent delays with installation. Work started this week , ahead of the new proposed completion date of this weekend. However, the contractors have experienced further unforeseen issues on site which has delayed installation slightly. The team has been working tirelessly to fix the problems encountered but unfortunately screen will not be installed and operational in time for tomorrow’s game which is hugely disappointing. Work will continue next week and completed as soon as it possible. We apologise for the further inconvenience and would like to thank all supporters and screen sponsor Brunel Professions for their continued patience. https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2019/april/12.4.19-screen-statement/

Big screen delayed again ????????

When you play at the Mem With no seats in Row M Thats the Rovers......

Well... closer. When they talk about fanbase they are forgetting that we are all ageing and despite this we all keep extrapolating our own similarly ageing peer group to the wider community. There has for twenty years realistically been only one club in Bristol that was going to provide success on the pitch and that is City. Most people who have started watching football in Bristol in that time with no strong family connection to either club (students, incomers from London) will have chosen City. Meanwhile at the other of the age spectrum as people age they start going to games less,do the garden on Saturdays or watch the rugby. I would estimate that the average supporting life of a fan is about forty years. Say the top end of that is 50:50 and the young end is 80:20 City and you have 65:35 City overall. Keep serving up relegation struggles year after year and people drift away. Rovers' fans aren't going to become City fans (and vice versa) but they will retire to their armchairs rather than turn out, and pay out, for yet another disappointing season. The relative stength of the forums is indicative of the wider fanbase. Most people in the crowd on match day aren't posting on here even if at times we seem to think we are entirely representative. Yet this site is massively more busy than their main forum, Gaschat, and that isn't just because it has better software. There are more City fans at games, there are more City fans generally. I'm guessing at a ratio of about 2:1 as it stands with that only likely to widen. You've just moved to Bristol and fancy watching a game of football next month. Do you choose: a) the team currently in the Championship play-off places that play in that amazing new stadium you saw from the train with the England junior team players? or b) the team fighting relegation from Divsion 3 who play in a stadium that seems to have been assembled from stands that other clubs have left out for collection by the binmen?

Their support is poor for a City the size of Bristol, so is ours but not as bad.

When you cry for the Snake, And your sheikh is a fake, That's the Rovers.

The irony of that comment (apart from the fact that we were averaging 11/12k around that time, certainly not as low as 9k), is that they would love to average anywhere near that level of attendance. In fact, they haven't even averaged over 10k since 1975

Irene's team is so shite, she can't have a good night - Bristol Rovers When you've now't in the bank and your football is w-ank - Bristol Rovers When your crowd can't be heard when your team's in da foinal turd - Bristol Rovers

When your plan's watertight but your stadium's still shite That's the rovers. When you play in the cup Your fans still don't turn up That's the rovers WAQ's supposed to be rich but he's still Landowns' bitch That's the rovers Coz you'll always be shite we're almost out of sight You're the rovers I thank you. ?

When the ball hits the tent, They'll abuse Junior Bent, That's the Rovers...

I enjoyed it as much as anyone. Yeah i ******* loved it. But he’s no Bristol City legend. That’s what I’m saying

God Delusion - the 15ers think they are so so special that God will come down to Earth to save them.
