Bristol Rob Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, Loon plage said: I just googled the meaning of a Franchise in case it has been rebadged to another activity, or I completely misunderstood the structure of Bristol City/Bristol Sport .. "A franchise business is a business in which the owners, or "franchisors", sell the rights to their business logo, name, and model to third party retail outlets, owned by independent, third party operators, called "franchisees". If anyone has a bogus account on asschat could you educate the ******* idiots for their own good please because this term of endearment doesn't quite work and the sooner at least some of those poor folk realise that the better. If their thinking was correct and City was the 'men's football department' of Bristol Sport, then Rovers would be exactly the same in their relationship with Dwayne Sport. #Gaslogic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 BUT WE LUV ARE CLUB MORE THAN DA PLASTIC SHITHEAD FRANCHISE Rinse and repeat. Your home support is shite, none of you idiots can be bothered to get up on a Saturday afternoon to watch the 11 turds on the pitch play the worst football in all 9 divisions of English football. Your away support is average, only because your home support is utterly diabolical. The plastic franchise got 20,000 fans at home this Saturday, and this is with selling all our best players and a slightly mediocre feeling around the club at the moment. So no, you don't love your club more than us, you don't love your club more than Shrewsbury, Crewe, Sheffield United or Manchester City. You're just another club, with tents for stands and a tendency to punch horses. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of them are mugs who practically allowed their club to sleep walk into Non League because asking questions and expecting better is seen as a bad thing up there for some reason? Too busy patting each other on the back telling themselves they're something special to fully appreciate what a laughing stock they've become. But this is exactly the sort of w@nky rubbish many of them come out with on a regular basis. They don't love their club more than we love ours, far from it judging by their crowds over the years compared to City. Not sure how we can be called 'plastic' or a 'franchise' when we've never left Bristol and still play at our spiritual home of over a century? Gaslogic.... Because they need something to cling to whilst watching the utter ******* shambles that they are in a non league ground. Don’t worry though The Post will continue to say their fans are the best in the universe for the rest of time.. Tinpot outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 A thought occurs: Are they actually trying to be a complete laughing stock/totally tinpot for a while? Maybe if they somehow raise their game and become just "utterly incompetent" their moronic sheep will lap it up and think its progress? - no doubt in the process hailing wally and his "management" team as messiahs and carrying them down the street on their shoulders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Gaschat is an hilarious read. They literally don't understand why they have the 'laughing stock' tag and their fans have played no part in obtaining that tag. OK then. They are also back slapping each other for coining the phrase 'tap in tammy'. Remarkable specimens over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombsy Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Super said: Still no sign of the new stand..... So it looks like the new east stand hasn't arrived yet. I know they said it was quick to put up, but surely 4 days before the game is cutting it a bit fine. We already know the SW stand is delayed, and people will be moved to the south stand instead. Will the people who have a ticket for the NE stand be directed back to the family terrace? Presumably some of them will need the seat they paid for and will therefore go to the South Stand. The away fans who bought seats will need their segregated area in the south stand. That's a lot of people being redirected to the south stand. Combine that with a new automatic turnstile system that has never been match tested, it could be a fun Saturday. You only get what you pay for ho wait have they. Paid for the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B block Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I reckon Al Quadis could literally urinate on their chips ( the £4.50) ones and they’d believe it was raining The club statement says.... "because their construction is more complex, our main contractor, GL Events has encountered unforeseen engineering issues in the supply chain." Clearly the club are laying the blame at the contractors door. Anyone saying it's the club's fault is either talking BS or alleging that the club are downright liars and are making this excuse up. I know who I'd rather believe. FTG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
