Septic Peg Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 3 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: Bloke in work who claims to know people associated with the blue few reckons they'll be targeting Devante Cole in the summer as their replacement for Taylor. Not the most prolific of players, but he's quick and I'd imagine that if he gets enough chances he'd be a regular goal scorer. Nah. His old man will explain to him there's only 1 team in Bristol and they play in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Actually, thinking about it in all seriousness I don't know a single City fan who is bothered in the slightest by the 82 thing? In fact we have Section 82, and even acknowledge sacrifices made by the Ashton Gate Eight for saving the club. The simple fact is that including or excluding 1897 we have still achieved more than the Sags have done in their entire history since 1982, so I struggle to understand why they dribble a little bit of wee with excitement when they call us the 82ers? It is totally bizarre???? Also, they continue to celebrate 2nd May with complete disregard of the other 2nd of May (Basement Rovers Day). They should be saying Happy 2nd May 1990, but when they leave off the date then we are happy to celebrate 2nd May with them! Congratulations Wycombe! The 15ers most definitely comes from the 82ers shout, but has far more relevance because there is no getting away from the fact that the name of Bristol Rovers was not in the Football League in whatever guise and that is worth date stamping all day long! I like how they are now going on about us doing an about turn on our manager and major shareholder now that we are safe......Loyal and True? Hmmm, anyone seen the video of the Torquay game when they screamed abuse from the stands leading up to Sir Colin Day? Clarke, Higgs and everyone needed to **** off out of their tinpot club, and then they invaded the pitch causing anti-social behaviour, punching stewards and horses.....Honestly, their comeback tank is so empty these days that it is unreal! Bloody Sheeds. We are so deluded! Edited May 9, 2017 by Cheesleysmate 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at cricket on the 2nd May (last week) and a Rovers fan I know was mumbling on about the date and trying to take the piss about it He seemed to have some kind of mental block about Wycombe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one of their comebacks used to be that they have never been in Division 4 or bottom of the entire football league. Within a few years they had done both, and if they had changed the format a few years before it would have been the second time that they had been relegated to the Conference!
