In fairness the majority of comments on that thread seem quite sensible. One or two even hitting the nail on the head... Then you get this crayon chewing roaster talking about us being ‘petrified’ of them ‘catching us’. rememberhalifax Club Legend 17 minutes ago Quote Nowt wrong with having a look at other clubs forums, good to see how things are in the wider football community IMHO. Back in the day you could sit in the stand at Eastville and chat to visiting fans which i always used to enjoy. As for tother mob,(and this may not go down to well on here!) well they have some core fans like us of 6-7000 but the other 13/14000 jumped on the Lansdown/Bristol sport band wagon and were sold a dream of prem/European football which predictably has never materialised and its prob those that moan the most, there is also ,i think, growing resentment that the Rugby club have taken centre stage and have become the main focus of national attention there and seem to attract the most investment. That investment is understandable as Bristol Rugby has always been a big player in the game where as the football club , despite what there fans may believe, are seen as minor players in the sport. The football club do not attract the best players and even the ones who become same tend to move on. Its the same with Managers, there fans expected Pep, Klopp. and co to come knocking at the door but were chastened when not even lesser men like Houghton fell over themselves to get the job. To an outsiders like us they seem to hold there own in the championship in a nice stadium what's to moan about? for all there wealth they still seem petrified that we are going to catch them soon , after all we are only one promotion or relegation behind them and i think it is this which scares them the most .bring it on!

In the last 30 years we’ve averaged under 10k in 3 seasons. In the last 30 years they’ve averaged under 10k every season. But of course, we have a similar core support don’t we...

In the last 120 years we’ve averaged below 10k in 27 seasons. In the last 100 years they’ve averaged below 10k in 63 seasons. So clearly this Sagheads theory about us only having higher attendances because of Lansdown is bollocks. Yes new/redeveloped stadiums boost crowds but in our case it wasn’t by 14,000.

That made them look good Its been 44 seasons in a row under 10k It was way back in 1976 when they last got over 10k (10,022) That wasnt a bad year for us if i remember correct

All joking aside, R.I.P Gasincider, always a more than reasonable poster and my condolences to his family.

Yeah take away the 26000 attendance v us it would have been another season under 10k

Rovers' crowds are shit in part because "their" ground is shit. But "their" ground is shit, because their crowd is shit. And so it has ever been thus, and goes on. Meanwhile, City’s crowd is bigger because our ground is better. And - you guessed it - our ground is better, because our crowd is bigger. This is complex, and a bit difficult for yer common-garden Gas munter to grasp.

It's almost as if they are some sort of performance art or long term installation project by the KLF

On a more sombre note I see one of their regular posters , and one who challenged the Club regularly , much to many’s consternation over there ‘ Gasincider ‘ (Real name Brian Williams) has passed away at RUH after contracting CoVid Supported the gas from early 70s and travelled home and away Very Sad RIP Brian

Thanks to you all for your kind words regarding my situation & especially those who took time to PM me. Sadly Mum lost her battle this morning and is now at peace. I managed to speak with her on Friday for about 5 mins which was nice. Whilst obviously upset I am also pleased that she is no longer suffering. Now having a glass of Champagne in her memory.

We can all agree 2020 has been a year like no other any of us have experienced before, and with that has brought many added pressures to people at a time of year where suicide rates increase. Please, if you feel alone or are struggling, try to talk to someone. Life might not always feel like living and you may feel like you are at rock bottom, but the world is a much better place with you in it. Personally this site really helps me, I have really low and negative days but keeping in touch with the Bristol City family is a massive thing. If anyone ever feels alone, please reach out. You can message me, or one of the many other supportive posters on here, or even talk to someone. I won't divulge personal information but I can't thank those people enough that have picked up when I've been struggling and taken the time to message me. We come from all backgrounds, beliefs, age groups and football teams etc, but I believe everyone on here would look out for a friend in need. A few of the Bristol City social media accounts shared the below today. Hopefully it'll also appear on the official website too.

Brilliant from 'The King' to reach the final, just need 'The Ferret' to knock 'Snakebite' out now...

Other because we filled their ground for them when we played there.

En-dumben is a perfectly cromulent word

Of all the things that keep me up at night re City, and there are a lot I grant you, the Rent Boys catching us ranks an emphatic last on that list. Indeed, bring on their relegation! If you’re going to use the wrong “too” and “their” then make sure your logic at least is impeccable. Suffice it to say this doesn’t hold up. He does have something of a point with regards to the rugger buggerz, that I’ll grant him.

They are "only one promotion/relegation behind us" bloody hell..looking at it like that..I'm really scared?

Could also be that you need more cushioning in your shoes?

Sounds like a fairly typical running injury to me, the kind of warning that pops up if you do high mileage without proper warm ups/downs ie the type of injury I get!

They haven't "got it" atall..! They think their owner is worth 400 million..? As I understood it, he had some sahre of a bank (A Bank) that was only worth 400 million..! His personal net worth is something in the region of abou 15-20 million, isn't it..? Far richer than I'll ever dream of being, granted... But then I don't own a football club that heamoriging money, or claim that I could have bought pretty much any club in the land..! Their delusion stems FAR deeper then thinking he's a billionaire.

I’m no rugby fan, but wow !! To all those ******* Bath fans (especially the Bristol based ones), who have taken the piss for many years, have some of that !!

Perennially Exaggerating Their Attendances

Pissing Everything Tented Away

They're such deluded liars! They'd love a stadium even half as good as the Kassam. Luckily the only only character they are likely to see any time soon is an upper case L followed by the number 2............

If we all carried our problems in a transparent bag there would be no envy in the world

Can't thank you enough for putting that up it is very important to have someone to talk to when you are feeling very low. I've had a very bad year and got really desperate and contacted a fellow red on here. Can't thank him enough for his chat and advice and for just listening to what i was going through. It encourage me to seek further help with my depression. So thank you again

Just got a new iPhone, so thought I'd try out this Siri thing as I've not used it before. "Surely it's not going to rain at the weekend is it?" I asked Siri. "It is going to rain at the weekend, and don't call me Shirley", Siri replied. Turns out I had it on Airplane mode

One of our neighbours kids who is four has been learning Spanish during the lockdown. But he still can’t say please in Spanish, which I think is poor for four.
