You are quite right - I went on their forum a few years ago, I made it clear I was a City fan and I referenced my dear old Dad and Grandad who were both staunch Rovers fans - I had a decent debate with a couple of posters before the inevitable **** posted “He’s a shithead - block him” - and then I was kicked off their pathetic little forum forever.
I had just engaged in polite conversation with their forum contributors- I didn’t use any inappropriate language and I didn’t do anything that could be said to be against the rules of their forum - I remember even praising their club and supporters at one point - but gasheads being gasheads and roverzzzz’ fans having zero tolerance for any alternative views, it was perhaps inevitable I’d be kicked off of a forum that wanted to talk about football in Bristol.
The amount of sleep I lost over the gasheads’ unbelievable intolerance towards the views of others? Zero ... but they really should re-examine their claims about being everyone’s favourite second team, about how the whole world is envious of their huge fanbase and away support, about how everyone hates City but loves da gas, about how the football world recognises their ‘unique’ quarters - despite clubs like Everton wearing quarters so, so long before da gas, and how they claim to be bigger than clubs like Norwich, PNE, Fulham, Charlton, Brentford, Millwall, Wigan, Luton, Barnsley, Blackburn, QPR, etc etc and they also claimed their away support rivalled that of Liverpool, Wolves, Sunderland and West Ham ... it’s just incredible - but it keeps me warm at night ...????
