HoldenBall Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I seem to remember the Bristol Post creaming at the thought that the pikeys could possibly achieve more points than us in their pub league. I guess that dream for their favourite little horse punching club has died now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, I’m sure most of Bristol supports them, it’s just that their fans have been boycotting League games for half a century. I like your mate’s argument though, he’s basically saying most Gasheads are ‘plastic’ fans who won’t attend a football match unless they can sit in a nice comfy seat... Idiots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the mem it was "people wont travel to trumpton", before that it was "they don't like going to Eastville". When it was the fire, they said people wouldn't go to Ashton Gate despite our generous offer of the use of the ground. The ground changes but the excuse remains the same.

Looking at their remaining fixtures, I think 7 points would be a more realistic return which would mean they end up on 62 points (a devolution of 0.087 points per game). Update: They are currently 11th (4 games to play), 56 points, GF 58, GA 62, GD -4 Last season they finished 10th, 66 points, GF 68, GA 70, GD -2 So 10 points and 10 goals shy of last season #evolution #thesethingstaketime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there was a bike ride somewhere in Bristol yesterday? I don’t know how they survive on such small crowds... “The only good shithead is one thats dead” Charming. Im sure plenty of ‘shitheads’ wouldn’t be that devastated if ‘Socrates’ forgot to look when crossing the road either. Didn't that song used to be "when Rovers win and City lose"?? I suppose if they stuck to that criteria they wouldn't get to sing it very often. Far better to change it to "When Rovers scab a last minute equaliser, and City lose" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often said to gAsshole mates of mine, I'd like to see them get a nice shiny new 25K stadium, just to hear the excuses of why, 6 months after it's been built, there are only 9000 rattling around in it. We all know the novelty would soon wear off for those that don't go now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve got their own ground in the heart of their community, it’s not great but it’s got seated areas, it’s got terracing, their fans are supposed to be ‘real football fans’ not ‘plastic’ yet they still claim thousands stay away due to the facilities. I dunno about anyone else but I go to football to watch football (I’d actually prefer to stand up like they can). After the UWE collapse they were all over Social Media with their new mantra ‘if they play on the streets, we’ll watch from the pavement’ Yeah right, course you would. How they’ve got the nerve to slag off other clubs support when they’ve got a catchment area of at least 250,000 and yet can’t manage 9k Rovers fans at home or average over 10k for 4 decades is beyond me? 50 minutes ago, glynriley said: I've often said to gAsshole mates of mine, I'd like to see them get a nice shiny new 25K stadium, just to hear the excuses of why, 6 months after it's been built, there are only 9000 rattling around in it. We all know the novelty would soon wear off for those that don't go now. I’ve said before on here that I was looking forward to hearing their excuses when the UWE Stadium was up and running and their crowds were still around the 9/10k mark. I remember them saying that we would never fill AG unless we were playing the Gas and we’ve proved them wrong several times. Also plenty of 20k+ crowds at AG this season despite the last 4 months of dross but then as always we ‘walk the walk’ whereas they have always just ‘talked the talk’.
