BCFC11 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 More #gaslogic... It's always been bizarre why they have been able to attract more fans through the turnstiles then we do - even pre the Gate rebuild.Our home avg has been extremely respectable given the state of the Mem regardless of having two promotions in the last few seasons.I wonder if they were back in league one and were playing at the old shitpit that we do would they get many,if anymore thru the Gate? If your were to do a head count of both Bristol clubs fanbase numbers we are not that far behind them.But they have always been able to attract more of there fans to games than we had been able to.I know that they are the bigger club,but not by much.It's not like they are Man UTD and we are Bury. It's more like the diffence fanbase wise between Norwich and Ipswich or Wolves and Wba. Another says the reason they get shit crowds is because of the state of the Mem, remind me how many times they've sold out at the shitpit? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what he's trying to say, bless him it's starting to dawn on him. It's a bit like West Ham and Millwall. One is lightyears ahead on and off the pitch. I'm not comparing us to West Ham in a real sense, but the gap is ENORMOUS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Did anyone pick up on the "Happy Hour" after each game? Not much chance of that I fear based upon recent results Such a laugh listening to their fans on Radio Bristol on my way home from the match when we have just thrashed someone decent and they have lost to utter shite.

The Pikeys have only finished above us 11 times in their 130 year abysmal a history. Certainly less than Notts County has finished above Forest. Sheffield United must have finished above Wednesday more than 11 times. Same applies to Evertom and Liverpool, and City and United.

This one acknowledges that we have always attracted more fans through the turnstiles but then goes on to say that they aren't that far behind us when it comes to the number of fans we both have in Bristol. That pisses all over their claim that their fans are more loyal than us then doesn't it? This particular Saghead may find it bizaar that we've always had higher attendances than them but clearly it's just a case that their club and fans aren't as special as they like to think they are.

Swede Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Its quite bizarre; the sags are grasping at every opportunity they can to make a comparison with us to try and justify their existence whereas we just laugh at them. They would be better served at looking at the progress Forest Green are making which is more their level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the definition of a "fan" is someone who actually goes to matches? So not sure what's stopping this apparently massive untapped support from making it down the Pisspoorial Ground every other Saturday?

BCFC11 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 So going on average home attendances that's around a 10k difference atleast, yet they fail every other week to sell out? Special breed them lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than relocate, they'd choose to move the stadium piece by piece then forget how it goes back together, ultimately selling it for scrap! Just about their level!!
