cityloyal473 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 10 hours ago, Kim_il_sung said: Ahahahahahahahahaha. Sorry but it's going to take more than a single victory to bridge the two division, fifteen years chasm between us. Stop making yourself look daft. Stop talking rubbish man. That solitary win against the mighty Cambridge will be the springboard to firstly overtaking us and then marching towards an assault on the Premier League, and ultimately the Champions league, where they will beat Barcelona in the second leg of the Semi Finals before a record 12500 crowd at the minimal, before beating Real Madrid in the final at Old Trafford in front of 50000 travelling fans. This meteoric rise will see foreign investors flocking to take over "Brand Gas", who will fund a new 40000 all seater stadium on Ashton Vale - just to rub our noses in their success. We in the mean time will bounce between the Championship and League One, with the odd JPT win thrown in for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Surprised no one else picked up on this. At the start of the week Cambridge Utd sacked their Manager. In the words of the Board "Losing at home to Bristol Rovers was the final straw". Obviously even teams in the same division as Rovers look down on them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM91 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 So Bristol Rovers went out of the cup today and was wondering how people actually feel about our withered cousins accross the city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Living on the dark side and a fair few (misguided) mates that are gas, I can't help but take the piss without mercy. That said, I do dislike them intensely but not as badly as they dislike us. It's great to be a red in east Bristol tbh, loads of kids wearing our beloved red shirt and loads of old school gas twisted with jealousy! All that said, I would rather see a young 'un in a gas shirt than a Man U / Arsenal one. Obviously, I would report the parent for mental cruelty but support a local side rather than a team on sky IMHO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm kind of old school in the sense of being City.

Eddie Hitler Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 How can I dislike a club that has given me so much laughter? Only yesterday I had to change my underwear after hearing their FA Cup result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Jumpers for goalposts, white plastic garden chairs for seating, Santa's grotty grotto, you can take the club out of non-league but you can't take the non-league out of the club, Nick Higgs the lawyers' pension plan, horse-punching. Big up the Rovers! If you had to come up with a comedy version of a local rival then they would be pretty close to it. The popcorn is on standby for their next jolly jape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Like ciderup I think living in Gas territory adds to the dislike of them. However in the past 16 years it has been mostly laughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've endured plenty of league matches against Rovers including (I hate to say it) times where we have been beaten by them plus times that we have given them a good hiding (the Christmas game in 2000 being my favourite). With this comes a natural rivalry. I do wonder whether for the younger generations, it is possible without these experiences for the same passion to exist. The worry is, as funny as their demise has been, the longer it lasts the less people really will care about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I give it "Ten Minutes" or so until this thread is invaded. I thought I didn't care until I realised just how amused I was when they dropped out of the basement last year. I was having this discussion with a Sag mate on Facebook last night...he is always very quick to bite and didn't disappoint when I commiserating them on narrowly missing out on taking Chesham to a shock replay! My last comment in the thread sums up how I feel about them nowadays... Naturally a little bit of context is missing, but you get the gist I'm sure: ".......The original post was because despite the fact the Gash haven't been actual rivals for some fifteen or so years it still amuses me as much when they fail miserably as it does you when we fail. It just so happens that it hasn't occurred so much to us in comparison over the last two years. Are you telling me you'd keep your mouth shut if the shoe was on the other foot and city had lost at home to Chesham? Of course you wouldn't, and neither would I expect nor want you to. That's what the rivalry, such as it is, is about. As I was posting it I guessed you'd get the hump. It wasn't the point of me posting it. I'm a city fan with city mates who would share the humour, but I'll be bollocked if I'm gonna moderate my posting just so a few sensitive souls don't get upset! Do that, and the rivalry dies there and then. See ya tomorrow night! smile emoticon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
