    I’ve just read Hollowhead’s latest column in the Post.

    His latest rambling is that clubs should be mandated to keep their managers for the duration of their contract, no matter what.

    What an absolute crackpot. I have no idea why anyone gives this guy any airspace (in more ways than one!).

    https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/abuse-middlesbroughs-jonathan-woodgate-derby-3289501

    They give him airspace to be a contrarian and a "character". He's just delivering on his contract. Ignore.

    "It was the size of the club that, when I found out about the interest, just ticked in my brain that I wanted to come here." - Rovers' new signing Tom Davies

     

    Sometimes, I feel a bit sad for the sags, I mean when the Post are telling you you're now the 6th richest club in England, and muppets like Tom here making stuff up, it's no wonder some of them actually think they're anything better than what they are, utter shit. 

     

    I just find it hysterical he went from former Premiership team Coventry to Rovers because apparently the club is massivv

    Apparently he was impressed with the training ground.   Nobody had the heart to tell him he was actually looking at the stadium.

    Pretty sure I seen it mentioned somewhere that the Sags have never forked out for a permanent structure of any kind from their own pockets during their whole existence.

    They did at Eastville, which didn't do them much good because they didn't own the land.  If you pay for an extension to your neighbour's house, it's his not yours!

    I seem to recall Radio Bristol adding fuel to the 'massive support' BS the best part of 30 years ago - Colin Howlett would report live from whichever ground they were at that weekend and tell everyone there were thousands of Rovers fans on the away terrace, yet when you watched the highlights on HTV News on the Monday evening there were about three people in it.

    Colin Howlett. Almost forgotten about him.  Forever droning on about Rovers  huuuge travelling support!

    Yup.  You make sure you have somewhere to put it and then order it when the frame is ready for it to go on to.

    The tech of these tellies moves so fast that the price of the old ones drops steadily.  It probably came with a Betamax recorder.

    This should do the trick.  £19.99

    From a link on another thread. I thought this lays it all out nicely.

    That says it all.  Just the thing to wave in front of any sag who says that there hasn't been much to choose between the clubs until recently. The 59 v 19 statistic of seasons spent in the top two divisions nails all arguments!

    ???????????? Nearly 1000 pages of ?????.

    I’ve been thinking ? maybe of producing a book for Christmas based upon some absolute gems from this legendary thread.

    Title choice could be interesting....

    ”Tinpot Bristol Rovers - The gift that keeps on giving”

    or

    ”NOT the 6th richest club in England”

    or

    ”BR15FC - From Ragass to Ratshit”

    or

    ”Ted’s In The Away End”

    or

    ”There’s only one Colin Daniel”

    or

    ”Dissolution not Evolution”

    or

    ”Bristol Rovers - The Family Club - Loved By All”

    or

    ”Locked Out”

    or

    ”BR15FC - England’s biggest Campsite”

    or

    ”Watertight Down”

    any more suggestions?

    I know a Notts County fan who still clearly believes that his team has the potential to be the biggest in their city.

    "Just you wait until Forest crash and burn, we'll soon be back above them" etc etc

    *note, take a look at the bottom of the League 2 table

    Even Notts County have a ground that the sags can only dream of!

    I see they're off again....

    Build and 7,500 seater in the car park (Main stand). Moved the ground over build a 6,000 all seater on the West side. A 5,000 at the Thatchers end; 1,600 at the South end. Max 21,500. Not big enough.


    Not only is this methane loser deluded, as usual, thinking a 21,500 stadium isn't big enough for a club that average around 7,500 (I guess) but he / she / it is shit at maths and basic English as well. 

    One thing all but the most intelligent saggies are missing is the fact that they DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO BUILD THEIR NEW METHANARIUM. 

    What really bothers them is even if that fantasy came true it would still be smaller than our place!

    Will be in north Kent in a couple of weeks time and a Gillingham supporting mate wants to take me to see them play the Gas, we will be sitting with the Gills fans behind the goal, was just wondering what might be the best songs to teach them?

    Thoughts?

    He's only a poor little gashead

    Who the ******* hell are you?

    I couldn't work out if the photographer used an atmospheric filter as an allegory for impending dark days ahead, else a storm a'brewin'. I did note the lights weren't on, 50ps run out?

    They don't need to put the lights on. The glow from their virtue is enough to illuminate the pitch.

    They are so far behind they are stuck in the 70's with that dump of a ground, lack of any infrastructure, no training facilities, and the tiny attendances.

    An irrelevance.

    Anyway, they'll be without a ground again soon enough as it's allegedly being touted around for development.

    Tick tock Pikeys  :sub:

    They'd love to go back to the 70s.  They had a better team and a better ground than they've got now.

    My god they've nailed it! There are groups of City fans who dedicate their Saturday afternoons to hanging around in Horfield on the off chance that they may be able to lob a few missiles at some injured Shrewsbury Town player.  It's all so obvious now they've explained it!

    For such a large fanbase to not have averaged more than 10,000 since 1976 is insane, were 20,000 gasheads sent to prison that year?

    First division football was available in Bristol for the first time in 65 years in 1976 and it wasn't at Eastville!  I don't think their crowds ever recovered from that.

    There's a video doing the rounds on FB of gasheads singing to Tomlin. To cut it short, the final line is "and when he played for City, he was ****ing shite".

    They ain't wrong tbf.

    They wouldn't say no to that kind of "****ing shite" being in their squad right now though!

    ....I thought they had a billionaire owner too?! This generic ‘bowl’ nonsense is also a bit crap...although I don’t expect the average sag to understand that for it to be a bowl, all four corners have to be filled in...doesn’t seem to be the case with dear old Ashton Gate - the ground they tried to steal in 1982, yet they now profess to hate it - and they didn’t even join the football league until 1920 (19 years after us) and fell out of it less than a century later...they are quite tragic - but...the Watney Cup....

    Talking of generic bowls..
