Palmers Green Red Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 12 hours ago, pommers1965 said: This beauty was posted on gaschat earlier.... I honestly believe we are now on the same level again as City apart from them having a new stadium built and playing one level above us for one more season.Remember,just over a year ago they were just leaving the div we are 're- entering, yet them across the river always act as if they are Man Utd and we are Stockport! The "gap" that they have gone on about is down to us failing to move forward as a club rather than there growth.However Bristol Rovers FC is now a very different beast to the one that failed for so many years...We have the best set of players I can remember,our best ever manager in charge and a very rich... however very humble,very ambitious new set of owners that want to take us to the stars.I will be AMAZED if in 5 years time we are not playing in a new stadium in front of our largest consistent crowds ever being at least top half championship club.If City can be at that level in 5 years time,or even above that then fair play to them,but for the first time ever we as a football club can aim as high as we desire and need to focus purely on ourselfs. Don't go on their forums as not something that really interests me but the above did, so went and had a look. That thread is funny, although I notice the same poster earlier in the thread referred to 'Trumpton' ... reckon before long he will be accused of being a 'Gert Ted' in disguise up to mischief.

nebristolred Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Anyone else think ****heads is quite possibly the worst, least insulting nickname possible? It's completely devoid of any creativity whatsoever. It's like us just referring to them as the c***s. It has no relevance apart from just being a standard insult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Every gas I've spoke to seem to think they will make play offs atleast. Then I remind them they have to replace their main striker. But aparently that's alright as wally will just get the chequebook out. Ok then.

Well they are the least creative club and fans in football league history, just look where their "club anthem" came from..

We all have mates and family of the other team and keeping it real we all care a bit don't you think ? Can't say I miss the derbies because we have nothing to gain and everything to lose, always been the same with the exception of our 2-1 FA cup win at Eastville in the early 80s when we were actually in a lower division than you for the only occasion in my lifetime, it' like Port vale V Stoke, Notts County V Forest or Walsall V WBA, the little team's cup final against their far bigger and generally superior neighbours, personally I hope we never have to play you again 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Personally I've got a horrible feeling that come April this year, they'll still be in genuine contention for a play off spot, and we know how good they are at play offs.

Oh ah, not denying that. We've got to have the worst record going in the play offs. I reckon Stephen Hawking would have more chance of winning gold in the 100m Butterfly at the Rio Olympics than us getting through them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
