Why do you post here? Genuine question as you seem to come across as if you hate the place. I don't Tom, it just seems so negative on here, with all the turning in on LJ and some players, I do think it's Bristol trait however, so nothing I say will make a blind bit of difference, but it is a forum and and a CITY forum, Rovers to me are just another team that have huge problems, but bottom line Bristol will be a lot worse off if they wen't under I guess.I know some of the comments are made in jest, but we at the moment would be best to just keep a lid on it, especially with Leeds looming..

Probably because in the scheme of things, this wasn’t the usual level of non league team that Rovers capitulate against. Barnet were above them in the (non) league only 3 years ago, so whilst it’s still a defeat by a non league side (and amusing) it’s not quite as bad as when they lose to clubs that nobody has ever even heard of before..!

No it doesn't, I am at a ripe old age now, and as said it would entail a 90 mile round trip, and I am afraid the cost is just too much. I live and breath City, always have and always will. Of course as a younger bloke I did go to every home match when I lived close, and worked in Bristol, even school days, but things change, I never miss some sort of commentary, and match day's take centre stage over everything else. It's a real bind, it can be a real curse. You should ask my missus!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway last word on it from me, but just to say we need a strong Rovers (gulp) and a stronger City. We had 15 minutes of fame last season, and now we are forgotten, Bristol Football = joke. That's also my take on it. I recall John Hall lecturing us in the early 90s on how the Bristol clubs should merge and so would then emulate the success of Newcastle as the only club in the city. Well Newcastle is hardly lighting up the league these days but Liverpool with the constant pressure from Everton continues to thrive as do the Manchester clubs. I think two club cities produce stronger footballing teams and that historically (though I'm not flogging through the stats) we have alway done better with Rovers snapping at our heels. Rovers have been hilarious these last few years but as a result have put zero pressure on us so we're now content to float around mid table Championship which we wouldn't be content doing if Rovers were top of L1 or in the Championship with us and occasionally being higher than us. As it is we have zero competition because I'm not counting the faux rivalry with Cardiff or Swindon. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isn’t a Bristol thing. Every club across the country laugh at their rivals when they make fools of themselves....it’s just Rovers give us more to laugh at. That’s why this thread is so long, if they weren’t so arrogant, thinking their support is superior to everyone else we wouldn’t laugh at them anywhere near as much when they get put in their place whilst screaming abuse at their own players, management and owners (something they pretend only happens at City).
