Well that's open to debate. However, it's nights like that , that make football magical. That night it went for us, and there were other - what some may consider insignificant- days and nights that went for you. If you discount games like, off the top of my head, when you beat Hartlepool in the play offs and when you got past Hereford (I think) to get to Wembley for the first time, then you are missing out on a huge fun part of the game.

I agree with Miah tbh. It’s our history , like it or not. That was their day and of course we would of wanted to win the title, ridiculous to suggest other wise. You're coming across a bit arrogant in regards to our days in the third/ fourth division. It happened and some of my favourite days under terry cooper back then. That Hereford night will always live with me. Just four years after nearly being extinct to walk out at Wembley was amazing. Never forget your history. It’s what defines us as a club. Do I ever want to go back to league 1 , no chance , of course not but I’ve got a lot more respect for lower league fans than any plastic prem armchair fans.

If Spurs have "The Game is about Glory" writ large at their ground, what would the Rovers equivalent be? "How did them sheedheads get on?"

A very happy Saint Daniel's day everybody. Raise a glass to a Bristol football hero.

The Galleries know the score.......

Well Mike... What are you thinking?

Still, at least Wally has remained committed to his first love, Chelsea. An inspiration to us all.

Was she just bitter about her successful wizard brother?

With us not in action til Sunday I was thinking of going down the Mammary Saturday to see Barnsley try to clinch the League One title. Think I’m right in saying that Bristol City supporters are given priority ticket purchasing opportunities for the away end for the Gash’s last home game of the campaign? That was the arrangement in place for the Mansfield game a few years ago if I recall rightly?

I was driving home listening to Radio Bristol,and was so caught up in the developing situation that I just kept driving,straight past my turning,and drove around until the game was over.I then couldn’t resist driving down Gloucester rd,the look on the sags faces was a sight to behold,in contrast to the beaming smile on my face.My passenger,the wife?,wasn’t so impressed,telling me to stop smirking before one of the few clocked me and realised I was a red.

I almost crashed me car listening on radio when full time whistle went..... Happy Saint Colin day fellow reds

Somerset County Cricket Club are delighted to be able to announce that the ICC’s IT20 number one ranked batsman Babar Azam will be joining the Club for this year’s Vitality Blast, subject to the Club obtaining the appropriate visa/NOC clearance. The 24-year-old Pakistan batsman made his International T20 debut against England in 2016. Since then he has gone on to feature in 29 matches in the format, scoring over 1180 runs at an average of 53.72 with a best of 97 not out and a strike rate of 127.78. Babar Azam will be available for all 14 Vitality Blast group matches plus the quarter-final. His availability for Finals Day would be dependent on his international commitments with Pakistan.

What a magical photo that is. Made even more so with Sir Daniel in full Sag kit. F@ckin :laugh:

Thing is, they went up, and we went up. Promotion was what we desired in August 1989, not being "Third Division Champions." A big deal for them, no doubt, but third tier "honours" don't exactly float our boat. I would prefer to forget every season we have played at that level (no-one outside of Bristol takes any notice of us at that level). Rightly or wrongly, deluded maybe, we see ourselves as a bit above that piss-poor division (having more often than them, literally, been above that) It didn't do them any long term good, going up that year, anyway.

Do you get 10% of a footy season ticket if you have a rugby one? That'd work out to be a much bigger saving overall.

She was right! - Clearasil is tough to get off the windows of a vehicle - just ask that minibus load of away fans.

So in other words, we (Gas) never want to be as successful as they are, because at least then we (Gas) can't ever finish as runners up to them (us). Special is the word that comes to mind.

1990 was tough to take at the time but in retrospect it really didn’t amount to much - we went up too, had the satisfaction of effectively relegating the Rent Boys in ‘93, and from then on their bragging rights over us became fewer and farther between - finished above us and won a couple of games in our dreadful seasons of 95/96 and 99/00, but where we’d couldnt buy a win at Twerton we won three times in a calendar year at their current dump and they’ve pretty much been in the wilderness ever since. You could make a case that they had a hold over us until we won a promotion with a title in 2015, but then even that advantage vanished - while we finished runner up to them and went up in 1990, 25 years later we were promoted as champions and they went up as runners up two leagues down - having fortuitously come through the lottery of penalties. 1990 is an irrelevance now.

Pretty much

Happy Sir Colin Daniel Day, dearly beloved brethren. I can’t decide how to celebrate: Was going to crack open the knock-off Fanta but then remembered the real stuff has links with Nazi Germany so might be more appropriate after all. Was going to make for Braintree for the day and act like an obnoxious turd but then thought maybe going to Mansfield and accusing all the locals of being Bristol City supporters. Was going to enjoy a soak in the tub - you can’t beat a Bath - but then thought I should fire up my useless Gas shower instead. So I decided just to ring Radio Bristol instead and sob uncontrollably down the phone about the local election results and my divorce instead.

Getting a bit "grainy" and shabby at the edges now isn't it, much like that dump you call home. While you're at it why don't you post your old 8mm reel to reel cine tape of the Watney Cup Final success!

We were indeed, neither the plod nor the Crawley fans had a clue. Bloody hilarious, we must have looked right nutters.

The icon known here as Skeletor, when asked which he wanted to win - his first love or his true love - showed that his heart now lies elsewhere, and that’s not with the 15ers. I guess some legends move on while others remain and become kit man.

It didn't do them much good short term either. They averaged 6,209 in the promotion year Then in each of the 3 seasons they were in the 2nd tier they averaged under 6k. http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn.htm

This is the ultimate betrayal - Delia Smith wearing an Ipswich Town rosette!!

Eleventh earl of Mar - Genesis

I know her personally and she is far from “horrible”. She’s a very genuine, nice person. Even when she followed the Gas I considered her a friend.

one of the most funniest days in my life ,mind the gap you bunch of fcu.king weirdos

Why would they know that. Do you know what Charlize Theron’s favourite sex game is? No, because THAT’S never going to happen either EDIT: if ypu ARE interested, I’m sure @Rudolf Hucker will tell you ?

This is actually one of my favourite football photos of all time. Really captures the emotion of relegation from the entire football league and actually made me feel a bit sorry for the fan, as his team had been relegated from the entire football league. Shows how much it means, whilst still being hilarious, as Rovers had just been relegated from the entire football league. Funny, yet still a tiny bit sad, to this day.

Happy anniversary all of you xx
