Septic Peg Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/bristol-city-news-hollowa-butland-2161895?fbclid=IwAR2tXbqIocHv0iZzMYjPIB6EBfO-V6bmmFGsje-bemlkYEM6y3OSVmuuCmE Holloway's message Ian Holloway has risked the wrath of Bristol City fans as he claims that the Robins need their fierce rivals Bristol Rovers. Speaking on the first episode of Bristol Live's new Subs Bench series, the former QPR boss made clear that he thinks closer competition is good for the clubs. It's now 18 years since the Gas were last above City in a league table. He said:“The funny thing is that we [Bristol Rovers and Bristol City] need each other. “When Rovers were failing a couple of years ago – and Darrell has done brilliantly to get them back – when they were failing, it affected City, I don’t care what you say. “You need some competition and the closer they get, the better it’s going to be.” Good old Ian. Making a few quid by name dropping nowadays. Prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 If D.C. left I am pretty sure that Holloway would distance himself from the job ( unless there was a massive injection of capital into the club ) . We could then see really how much the Gas means to Mr H , as they say talk is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm not doubting what people say and I've no time for Hollowhead- fact he's on the Football League Show on Quest, I don't know... However I have watched back that vid several times and I am yet to hear the "Dead City fan quote" I did hear however him encouraging fans to go and taunt City fans with 3-0. A game called 'Find a City fan' and the whole 3-0 taunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious. Tbf that thread just is normally just poking fun at tin-pot embarrassing items, such as: temporary stands, Santa's grotto, Wael's lack of money, how Gas heads are still queuing to get into Wembley..... Their forum actually obsesses over our club, funding, performances, future etc. A while back, post Man Utd and Pre Man City, they had a thread called 'Elephant in the room' where they openly admitted they'll never compete with us and the younger generation of Bristolians will choose Ashton Gate over the mem.

glen humphries Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I think the complete opposite, we’d really flourish without them w anchors, there an embarrassment to the city , the sooner they go bust the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 There was a Subs Bench interview which the article is based on. Holloway might be 100% a gashead but his interview both interesting and amusing. He’s very proud to be Bristolian and kinda laughs at the rivalry between the two clubs.

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I can’t see how we have suffered since they dropped out the league, however I do enjoy the ‘rivalry’ and banter and the Bristol derby is definitely something I miss, albeit they are very nerve wracking affairs but that’s what makes football great, the fear of losing and then winning, so wouldn’t want it never to happen again, but I wouldn’t want us to get relegated or them to get promoted to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a **** who is an embarrassment to the region with his dopey Vicky Pollard impersonation by the way so not one of those odd Reds who seem to be fans of his.

That explains it then. Perhaps @Loon plage that explains his views. That notwithstanding, no fan of his either- his public profile is surprising (and annoying).

If they make it into the premier league we’re in big trouble. Not based on present support, as that will get by. But for the future. Kids won’t want to come and see us.

I can't stand Holloway for numerous reasons but credit where it's due, himself and his Mrs had to learn sign language from scratch and when he was in charge of QPR, he made sure the first team lads visited a local primary school for deaf children at Christmas, every year. So the bloke might be a complete tool in the football world but he does have some class in other aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s passionate about the Gas - so what? Don’t our fans sing songs slagging off the gas? Btw - if I’m a bit ‘gassy’ why am I banned from Gaschat?
