Puregas is a good name because the guy is clearly full of hot air!

Brilliant! Think the guy must have a split personality as one minute he was talking about Shrewsbury away and in the next paragraph he was suddenly back at the Minimal!

A very conservative estimate there

......meanwhile over at the Minimal they are burning Sheed shirts and jerking themselves blind over Dean Windass

76-80 really got to Sags. They turned up at Ashton Gate to watch us get beat and every so often couldn't wait to get the hell out of the away end and take a week off sick rather than have it rammed down their throats from work colleagues, Roger Malone, the Big Match, Grandstand, BBC and ITV sports news, the national news papers.....week in, week out they were very very tortured souls, everyone everywhere was a Ted and they became completely engulfed with envy and more often than not the envy would turn to rage resulting in displays of mindless violence from angry Sags who needed an outlet for their pain. Remember, they experienced a bit of momentum themselves in the early 70's. They won the massive Watney Cup albeit on the lottery of a penalty shootout, beat Brian Clough's Brighton 8-2. Won promotion to the 2nd tier with 'Smash and Grab' and were "coming for City".....but then City went one better and their achievements were completely forgotten about. They stagnated in Division 2 and then started to go backwards, giving up on the football and turning to mindless terrace violence instead, eclipsing their 8-2 defeat of Brighton with getting totally hammered 9-0 by Tottenham in a game which John Motson described Rovers as "a VERY POOR SIDE", whilst over at BS3 Bristol City were putting European Champions Liverpool to the sword. Bristol was totally RED in the late 1970's and those of us who lived it can remember it well. Sags were generally quiet, unless of course they were on the lookout for trouble being the family club that they are. Rovers fans believed that Bristol City won promotion to Division One simply to get one over on Bristol Rovers FC, not for City's ambitions of progressing as a football club. So for Sags 1982 was like 'retribution' for the inflicted suffering and pain that they perceived was bestowed upon by Bristol City. Unbelievable pea brain mentality, but true all the same. The difference with Rovers in 2015 is that no new club was formed so we can all simply forget about their single season in the Vanarama. They are prowed, faithful and true. FTG **** off Teds

Yeah but it's 1982 remember? The year that the Bristol City who played for 4 years in the First Division (much to their enraged jealousy) died. Moving forward it was a totally new football club, Bristol City (1982) Ltd. Therefore the entire history and the 4 years of playing the country's finest teams (and beating some of them) could be blanked out as if it simply never happened and according to #Gaslogic that would put City 82 at the bottom and would elevate the Squatters to Bristol's Premier Football club.......but it never quite panned out for them. City 82 came back won promotion, beat Rovers even with students and week to week contract players, went to Wembley 5 times and won 3, and went on to spend more seasons in the 2nd tier, and were within 90 minutes of making it to the Premiership whilst the Rovers ship sprang holes and leaked all over the shop. Incidentally, Bristol City 1982 as a company name ceased on 20th December 1996, but the Sags continue to live in the past, which is hardly surprising really is it? Because let's face it......they have sweet FA to look forward to do they? Yes, we are really bothered about 1982.....We cry and don't even want to talk about it mind......

A really old club, steeped in history with a European team copying their home shirts versus Notts County

New statue erected at the Mem

Yeah because it is absolutely massive, but no doubt their Tote Enders will go on the rampage causing trouble and the club will end up losing all of the money via police bills! Just spoke to a lad I work with who incidentally had no idea about the horse punching incident.....He knows now.....his response?......"Family Club" fair shout.....I couldn't disagree mind. He now knows that it is "Racist Horse Punching Family Club"

Another horse punching "Sag"a has made my weekend! They cannot stop giving can they?!!!

Better not let the Sags get wind of that mind!

That's a coupon spoiler tonight

Two weeks off has killed momentum and led to complacency. ******* international breaks!!!

Arrrrrrgggghhhhh

2 points dropped

This is painful

I just don't have the words to express how much I like this post!

Sounds like a very frustrating evening

COYR

Ahh, those years when it was so bad on the pitch that their supporters were more interested in coming top of the thuggery league table.

I'm in mourning. They are coming for us. Nothing to report tonight. Real Gaselona have shown what a massive powerhouse they are today. Top 6 budget. Championship ready sprinklers, quality pies. How many did they take today? 3.5 - 4K? How many were locked out and missed the goals? How many pubs did they smash up after? Any white plastic chairs missing from people's gardens? Any racial abuse?

Looks like Stuart Sinclair's property investments are ruined too looking at the state of those cardboard boxes!

I'm surprised that they haven't tried to colour blue quarters in with crayons?
