Nibor Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wow just had a quick look at the racism thread on asschat. Some absolute dangers on there, including a guy whining that he lost his job for repeatedly using the n word at work and another who thinks describing pakistanis as p*kis is ok. Apparently that is PC gone mad. No wonder these strokers never get anywhere, they're stuck in the 70s. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belters from top to bottom. When are they gonna drop this 'Family Club' shite? Banning orders galore over at the dump, racist chanting, punching shirters, head butting mini buses, punching stewards and horses, and opposition players in the back of their net. Nothing 'Family' about the Sags at all. They couldn't be more further from being a family club if they tried. Just refer to themselves as what they really are 'The Tinpot Bristol Club'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 3 hours ago, In the Net said: The abuse came from individual people, and was reported by Rovers fans. I think FA punishments are given for larger scale obscene chanting, which is reported by the referee, or another FA official at the game - not even sure they ever actually punished a club for racial chanting, they are an impotent authority at times. There is no place for it on the terraces, or elsewhere, and I hope that the culprits are identified and suitably punished. 8 minutes ago, Cheesleysmate said: When are they gonna drop this 'Family Club' shite?

It isn't the first time over the last 2 or 3 years though is it, clearly Rovers have problems regarding Racism and aren't doing enough to stamp it out.

Every great "family club" puts their family enclosure on an uncovered terrace these days, don't they..? I can't see how that gesture demonstrates anything but high regard for attracting families..!

Too true LP, I remember being at an anti NF demo in the late 70's when the NF were having a meeting (in a local school believe it or not) they had to be escorted out by the police and who should be at the front of this motley mob? No other than the Tote End's main boy at the time (BD) we give him some stick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be small and cheap with terraces - a bit like it already is perhaps ? As you were Pikeys - till the bailiffs move in I suppose tents are "cosy" I do have concerns over their continued use of terracing though. It can't be safe, what with their problems when it comes to counting attendance figures. Sags are always informing us of their regular sell outs and huge travelling numbers, yet the idiots in charge of keeping tabs on actual numbers consistently make the mistake of failing to count abouve 10,000 for home games and are so sloppy with their adding up that they publish away support that falls way short of ours. Can they really be relied upon to keep their "best fans in the world" safe, with such sloppy counting..?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one. With our inferior (average 19k+) crowds. Of course, that's when we can bring ourselves to attend our own matches, rather than infiltrating the away end at the Mem, although that only seems to happen on occasions when there is trouble..! Let's be honest, it doesn't matter what state their stadium is in, when a few thousand of them are belting out a glourious rendition of their world famous (& much loved, of course) anthem, paying homage to an American whore, that they stole from Plymouth.

I don't know enough about this sort of thing so I have probably missed a key step here, but it sounds as if... The bought the club with money released from the equity in the stadium, that line or credit hasn't yet been maxed out so they can continue to fund the club, but the charge for this is 12k per week. Assuming they have paid less to borrow the money than they are claiming, they could in theory be taking 6k a week profit out of the club. I'm not sure if they put any cash in or if it's just a smoke and mirrors thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
