I know their imagination is amazing isn't it? Anyway I thought I'd share this post. We should never 'chose' to bankrupt the Club. It is unethical and screws local businesses. We should never stoop to what the sh*t did in 1982. We remain on the moral high ground in Bristol and it's always good look down on that lot south of the river for their disgusting behaviour. BRFC has been around for 135 years. The sh*t have no history. However - you raise a valid point. Dwane Sports could sell the Mememorial Stadium and effectively leave BRFC debt-free and homeless. Even I don't think this will happen. I am pretty damn sure that the Bankers who own our Club are well aware of the option. OK - Dwane Sports cut and run. A chance for fan ownership? (Vaughan has some ideas on this). At this point - pretty sure we would slide down the leagues. We would have to rent somewhere to play. Obviously this is the (unlikely) nightmare scenario. But - Does it kill the Club? Nope. We become 'like' a phoenix Club... a chance to start again with a clean sheet. Could a Club ever recover from this? Well there are plenty of examples of this happening - Wimbledon being the best. And remember they have a far smaller support base than us. As long as I have a team to support in north Bristol who play in blue & white quarters and have a proud history going back to 1883 - I can live with that. The UWE was the big one that got away. It was a chance for us to establish ourselves in a higher division. Maybe the UWE numbers never stacked up, we'll never know. FTG.

What a ******* pr!ck Deluded bitter morons. We are Bristol City from Ashton Gate, our spiritual home of over 100 years. Bristol’s best supported team with attendances that have always been higher than theirs. We’ve played in the top flight. More than a century of League Football, never lost our place in the League Pyramid whilst they’ve spent their ‘proud’ history bumming around Division 3 (or lower ) moving from shithole to shithole doing bugger all year after year.

However, based on that post, I am about to break that habit. I hope they disappear, never to return. That nonsensical distorting of the truth (we used to call them lies in the old days), coupled with the shocking “South Bristol is full of rapists and thieves” nonsense earlier in the thread has changed me. I hope they disappear, never to return. Their decent fans will be upset and that is a shame, but the club and some of their followers really are a blight on Bristol. Agree. **** um . Hope they go bust 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I was in the company of one last night, who was bemoaning their bad luck over stadiums. He cited that they "lost the one at Mangotsfield because a bloke took out a court case to oppose it" ? It was in green belt with no access planned to and from the stadium. No application was ever submitted. "The planned one at severnside was due to pollution"? Again they blamed the council and not their own consultants, who carried out a feasibility study for them but, forgot to ask the council if there were any restrictions for the site, there were. No application was ever submitted. They were told a pie in the sky stadium on council owned land in Hengrove was a bad idea, as it was in the heartland of BCFC support, it was. No application was ever submitted. The only application submitted to Bristol, was for redeveloping the rugby ground, it was very dubiously approved after several of the planning committee were controversially removed the morning of the meeting. The councillors removed were thought to oppose the plans, they were replaced by councillors sympathetic to Rovers and the plans were approved that same evening. The only application for a new stadium, was in South Glos and it was approved. They haven't been unlucky in their search for a new ground, they've been tin pot and downright amateurish in their approach, without carrying out proper research, followed by the usual, blame everyone else but themselves. Booh fekin Hooo, nobody's willing to give us a new ground, it's so unfair! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) yet more delusion from their closed shop forum. IIRC, we made an invitation to Hebury ****t and his kindred spirits to join this forum to discuss their delusion but not one has ever taken up the offer? In a closed shop forum, they can spout their inane drivel and nobody ever disagrees so they genuinely start to believe their crap. If they were so sure of their facts, why don't they open up their forum to supporters of other clubs, just like we do? I think we already know the answer to that question. As for 'looking down on us', good luck with that. Their only poster I have any respect for is Julian AKA Kingswood Polak as I have known the bloke for years and he's a top man.

It's like playing them and waiting for their amazing fans (best in the land bar none..) to arrive, never see them in and around the Gate but magically come kick off there they are, singing about that sad slapper Irene, then after the game they all magically disappear like rats into the sewers, yet when we have to go there (wherever they've stolen for the season..), you'll see City fans everywhere and i mean everywhere...

B block Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 20 odd years ago we were in n the same league, yesterday I saw Holloway and thought he’s the only tangible link to them in any form of playing capacity, once he’s out the picture there’s no link left, even there best players are leaving to go to better themselves at clubs that are not as good as ours. that-is a measure of how little they have progressed in 20 years. i would actually be surprised if they are a league club in 5 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not much transfer activity during the window for them so far, though I have just read that they are after Millwall's Tony Craig. I must admit, I've never heard of him. Has he played against us? Of course, they are between a rock and a hard place really in that if they don't strengthen their team, they are heading back to div 4 and if they do, they will end up in the same place due to insolvency and minus 10 points too.

I think he is a bit of a Milwall ledge, not full legend, but a player who has been with them some time. Would guess it would tick a lot of boxes on both sides, they want experience and this bloke has played a fair bit of first team football, and with him being in his 30s, he is probably looking for one last payday and a signing on fee. Can't imagine he will be on small change though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
