  1. I would like to point out was born in Patchway (red all my life once able to make an informed opinion) brought my first house in Flton (still red) live in wales(not quite as red as the egg chasers) catch the train too PSN(to make a certain poster happy) a few fans get on at Patchway and more at abbey wood don't knock the north of Bristol.

  2. As a boy from the wood myself and now resident in north Bristol, I concur. This subject raises its head every100 pages or so and I’ll never tire of dragging this info graph out..... from the planning documents for the revamp of AG showing city season ticket holders around the Bristol area (also consider we have probably doubled the number of season ticket holders since then). There is no north/south divide.....the city is red

  3. There are loads of us that are originally 'Woodies and a large number that still live there. As for Chasers, most Saturday nights, back in the day, Jermaine Stewart's 'you don't have to take your clothes off' would result in a large number of reds on the dance floor with trousers around ankles. We didn't hide, never had to. Happy days! BTW, I was having a coffee in Kingswood a couple of weeks ago waiting for the wife to finish shopping (hate shopping with a passion) and counted nine youngsters wearing our red shirt and just one poor beleaguered child wearing the other mob's rag. We're even taking over BS15.

  4. How many of our team is the Gap older than? Massengo certainly, possibly Semenyo? Might only need another 3 or 4 years before we can field an entire XI who've never known a world where the Gas are above the might City.

  5. There are 40 year old gasheads staggering home from the pubs in Patchway and Filton right about now, they will stop for a wazz against their neighbours’ garden walls before realisation hits them hard ... and they will slur out loud to themselves: “******’ hell, I was 20 years old the last time we finished above them pesky teds, I was a face in Chasers, I had Ollie’s mobile number, I was locked out at every single away game cos we always took massive numbers away..” - then when the wazz has dwindled and the cold, harsh night kicks in, they will look skywards and silently wonder “What happened?” ...

  8. There was a sizable number of us City boys at Patchway High School in the late 70s/early 80s. A large and maniacal contingent went to Wembley for the 86 and 87 Freight Rover finals, as well as to various eventful trips throughout the 80s. I haven't really been back there for about 30 years though, so no idea what's going on there now. You'd imagine there's probably even more City now though, wouldn't you?

  9. Yep. A considerable number using the M1 Metrobus to get to games.

  10. Same. I was born in Patchway as well. And, I don't know anybody from there that would have ever been seen in Kingswood, let alone Chasers. There's a fair few of us from North Bristol.

  12. Maybe Extinction Rebellion could campaign for the few? Glue their foreheads to a minibus window? Park a pink boat on the pitch at the Memorial Ground? Punch a polar bear?

  13. A blot on the landscape - rapidly in decline. Will they become "a protected species"?

  14. Gasheads everywhere, Knowle Hartcliffe and Briz, let alone Stockwood which was always a special case bitd. Question is though how many of those "interlopers" are below the age of 50 ? Reading their forum plenty acknowledge their ageing fanbase and the risk that they won't be replaced when they pop off.pr finally throw in the towel

  16. 19 years ago, I had a full head of hair and no bloody kids. It was bliss! Now they're nearly 19 and 17 and do my head in. Rant over.

  19. Hard to believe Kevin Keegan was England manager in October 2000 and Rovers have had 16 managers since the Gap appeared.
