Great thread they’ve got going on over there, however I’ve read and re-read the post below several times and can’t decide...is this Saghead actually claiming that the Gas are bigger than some clubs in the Championship?8 points

Is 'lady garden' a uniquely north-Bristolian expression? It only ever seems to be used by those counts on Slagchat.3 points

They are getting very excited over on Gaschat about our finances, usually they love that we lost money, now that we haven’t it’s because of some lucky sales of players. But this was the biggest Gem I saw! Big fish? Really? Worst ground in League 1 by some distance, 11th on average attendances this season behind Peterborough, Doncaster, Lincoln, MK, Rotherham and Blackpool! The cheek!3 points

It's people like that , that stop me going on their forum. I don't mind the slagging off, you expect it, in fact I have been on other teams forums and enjoyed picking out the good posts from the vitriol. But on there, the utter delusion and hypocrisy is staggering Big fish? Been a League club for 4 years? Surrogate son ? What even ..... Best chance of promotion is because they don't have to look down, bet they thought that before they fell out of the League. Nice he knows Jon Lansdown so well as to form an opinion . Good strategy too, dump LJ and get the best man for the job, because every team in the League hadn't thought of that FFS. ******* window licker.2 points

Yeah. I'm trying to weigh up which I'd rather have running my club, SL or Wael. Hmmm it's a tough one.2 points

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 red2 points

Surely we are not forgetting Joe (10 goals in ONE game vs the gas) Payne - still a football league record! .... and there’s also Billy Bingham, Bruce Rioch, Steve Williams, Mark Stein, Raddy Antic, Les Sealey ... etc, etc - more class than the gas can ever dream of ...1 point

Bitter and Twisted? I wish them nothing but bad luck. Nepotism will hold them back just like it did when they lost to Hull - that queer Lansdown/Johnson love in, and I wish their families many more years of happiness together. Their pompous arsed fans talking about "strategy" and "vision" just because they have struck lucky on a few sales over the past couple of seasons. Banging on about the ever increasing value of their squad forgetting that they all cost a fortune in wages so better had be increasing in value, particularly when they have players who never or very rarely feature who are also costing a relative fortune. Funny that they fail to mention those isn't it. They can dress it up any way they like but Uncle Steve will not keep swallowing £25m losses if that used car salesman manager of his keeps choking when it gets to the sharp end of the season and his inadequacies come to the fore, and they run out of players who are worth anything. .....much?1 point

On attendances they’re reasonably close to Luton. The Mem makes Kenilworth Road look like the Emirates but again similar sized ‘stadium’. Luton have 16 seasons in the top flight and have been League Cup Winners. Rovers once won a short lived Pre Season competition that no one gave a flying shit about. Im not convinced they can claim to be bigger than Luton.1 point
-
No chance, Luton are league cup winners who have played in the first division and have secured themselves well in the championship. Add to that they actually have permission to build a 23000 capacity stadium in the near future. Rovers could only dream to be anywhere near as big as Luton1 point

The absolutely unbridled arrogance of those lot is the most impressive thing. It's almost consistent through their entire fanbase. They were more recently non-league than they were a Championship club. Mental.1 point

Difference is we sell out best players for millions. They sell there best player to their rivals for 300k . No wonder they are so bitter on that pathetic little forum . Tossers.1 point

The old thread about rough pubs was hilarious but, I have to ask, why do so many of the OTIB posters frequent these places of ill repute? Isn’t there anyone who pops out for dry sherry in a pub where you can have a quiet discussion about poetry or patchwork quilting?1 point

They’ve been doing it for years......”lansdown will get bored”, “Lansdown only interested in the rugby”, “crowds will drop as soon as they go on a bad run” “they’ll bottle it again” Absolute inferiority complex. They can’t name any positives about they’re own club so even when the truth is staring them in the face, make up negatives about us to feed their sad, bitter life’s. The more they say it, the more they believe it. Reality is SL is in for the long haul and JL will succeed him. He is in no way getting bored, in fact, with new training grounds for football and rugby and the arena expansion of Ashton gate, he is still fiercely ambitious. Buying and selling players for a profit and a top producing academy were a couple of the ‘pillars’ of the long term strategy several years ago....that is now coming to fruition. He can also see massive improvement on the pitch year on year.....we now have the best possible chance for promotion to premier league. Whether we make it this year remains to be seen but if we don’t, we are very much an established top ten championship team. something the bitter few can only wet-dream about1 point

So Tom now aspires to be like “Rotherham” - wish they’d make up their minds - not so long ago they were “bigger than Norwich” and “as big as Blackburn, Wolves and West Ham” - and they think they can laugh at us?!1 point

Christ! He sounds angry doesn’t he? ? Of course the Gas never ‘spunk’ money on ‘lemons’ do they? Unless you count Tom Nicholls who scores one goal nearly every decade and that Payne geezer who grew to hate them after a couple of weeks ? Only a thick Sag could think that SL having his eye on the ‘long game’ and reaping the rewards is bad for him or us. Whilst that ‘belter’ Johnson has been in charge we’ve improved our final League position 4 years in succession. Go back to sleep Sagheads.1 point

Grew up and still live in the wood. I'm late 40s now and when I was growing up I'd say it was about 50/50 city/rovers with the people I knew.I started watching in 77 when we were div. 1 and I think being in the top league attracted a lot of young fans whose families had no alliance to either side. With the improved ground and us playing championship football you can only see the gap in fan numbers growing if things stay the same as its a similar situation for young fans with no family ties to one team or another.1 point

I remember a few of us going in a pub in Patchway in the late'70s as we had some sort of function in a hall across the road, full of Rovers memorabilia in the pub, unsurprisingly the function ended up in a mass brawl, we were only about 16/17, no idea what the name of the pub was, don't think I've ever had reason to go to Patchway since1 point

The gap may be 19, but the gap will always exist between the ears of most Gasheads. Happy Birthday Gap.1 point
