  1. Anyway, **** all that, how did you lot get on tonight I'm hoping I am allowed a free piss take, especially considering I didn't cash out my super yankee for £20 that involved you lot losing 2-0 , only to end up with nothing because of your shite defence and annoying habit of scoring late goals!

  2. I do enjoy it, in fact I really like the Mem and will be sad to see us move (although I don't think we will in my lifetime). I like standing at games and I love Gloucester Road for post match beers. I shall be 55 years old next month and having had to say goodbye to one of my closest friends from Rovers at the age of 59 this season, football is now more than ever something to be enjoyed socially for me rather than worrying about results (and believe me there was a time when Rovers results meant far more to me than they ever should have) The downside to me for all that of course is that without a new stadium Rovers will probably never really progress (and even if we did get one there are no guarantees), but that is something that is no longer so important to me.

  4. Everything you read about Pat and the culture he has instilled here is just great. Having listened to him first hand at several events in the last couple of years you can see how much of an inspiration he is.

  5. Think it might be! Though the distance between Bristol and Oxford, still isn't as big as that between us and that other team in Bristol!

  8. GasLogic at it’s finest..... Try it yourselves, you’ll be amazed to find out how close we are to catching Liverpool, being only 26 places above us.

  9. Miah, when your ground has terracing you can stand wherever you want; if you want to sing, you stand with a bunch of like-minded souls who have the same intent; if you don't like the people in your vicinity you can easily move. Once you've found a place that suits, you return to the same spot every match with the result that over the years, you stand alongside the same strangers, nod to them, discuss team selection, moan about the manager/referee/price of Fanta and not much more. You recognise them but you don't know their name, telephone number or where they live. Then the terracing disappears and you move into an all seater stadium (you'll have to imagine this part) and you have to decide where you're going to buy your season ticket. You'd like, perhaps to be able to sit alongside the acquaintances with whom you're used to spending your Saturday afternoons but unless you've pre-planned it, that's never going to happen. Thus kindred spirits face being split up so in anticipation, the club designate a 'singing area' which quickly attracts a number of 'not really singers but who like the thought of a noisy, irreverent afternoon' at the expense of later-off-of-the-mark dyed-in-the-wool yellers and shouters; The atmosphere changes all around the ground; people who've stood happily with others turning the air blue (with their language, you understand) suddenly find themselves sat next to a dad with his ten year old daughter or even worse, next to some sad old git who owns a scruffy, provincial computer shop; former singers in the choir find that they're now soloists. A new stadium changes everything - certainly with big positives in our case, although the atmosphere does change and not consistently for the better. I wouldn't want to go back to the old AG though. The new stadium is a hundred thousand times better. Enjoy the terracing at the Mem while you've got it, Miah. Those decades will quickly pass.

  10. When it’s good it’s very good Miah . I think you need to take into account the east end was out blackthorn end and it’s been demolished. Since then they’ve tried to recreate a home end . In the Atyeo at first and now section 82. Personally I think it should be extended and fingers crossed for safe standing

  11. To a point I agree with you, but you only have to look at Caulker who expressed that being housed in a flat on Anchor Road, opposite a casino with no support did him no favours. Some people are ready for independent living in their teens, others less equipped. No right or wrong answers there.
