If you were in a pub, having a random sport conversation with a stranger; at some point, you might well ask the question, 'Locally, who do you support?' You are twice as likely (if not more), of getting 'Bristol Bears' than the answer 'The Fewers'. They really don't realise they aren't in the top two regularly support teams in this City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over 75% of the population of Bristol are true blue & prowed to be a gashead. Problem less than 5% of them ever go to home games & when they do some of them pay the man on the disabled gate a tenner, so they don't count. And when they go to away games they find themselves locked out. Would you believe it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 incredible is the right word,special is also the right word, unique is the one i would use to describe them,how else could they be happy to have a dump of a ground with canvas stands...correction,tents, substandard food and promote porn on their big screen. deluded is unfair because if they never had anything in the first place they think they are world owners with a pitch now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a club like them who rarely sell out an away allocation taking 2-300 to places on a regular basis, only Sagheads could be so deluded to claim that they “always travel in numbers” Look at this peanut below, not “reasonably large” enough to ever fill your tiny ground... As for “passionate”, we’ve all seen what you’re passionate about...non stop songs about City I very much doubt the players have missed them. steve192 Club Legend 2 hours ago Quote I almost look on it as a blessing in disguise for us fans not having to put up with travelling miles to watch the rubbish that has been dished up but yes I think it has cost a club like ours pointsin that the crowds are generally of a reasonably large size and passionate. Even watching the game on TV is so different without a crowd - its false and has totally proved that Football is a crowd sport and without it I think it is very questionable how long you would keep watching it.

Red-Robbo Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I guess if you spend more than a decade among the footballing minnows, a mediocre crowd figure looks "reasonably large". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Wonder who they will be travelling to in numbers next year for their annual ‘cup final’ in League 2 now that their buddies from Sunderland are unlikely to be in the same division? Would have to be a club similar to the stature of Rovers, a very big fish, a club with a similar infrastructure......Salford it is then!

Ska Junkie Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 'Intimidating? What they actually say is it's a shithole and a shit place to go. That obviously means 'Intimidating' in gas language. Hating Bristol city and the Irene dirge are hardly Intimidating, even their own fans were moaning about the crap home atmosphere when the fewers were allowed in!
