WessexPest Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Just saw an amusing exchange on their FB page: ”Sign Adam Rooney from Salford in January!” ”Why would he leave a bigger club to join us?” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul my ass, the place is a dump and they have a team and fans that fit their surroundings They’ve got no more ‘soul’ than any other football league club. As for loyalty City fans have proved time and time again over the decades that we are more loyal. Did I mention they had just over 7k at home in L1 today?

Port Said Red Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 10 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: And didn't we give them a couple of goals head start, just to make it more of a contest? I sort of warmed to the Walsall fans that day, I remember them singing "Champions? You're having a laugh" at 2-2 and then singing "that's why you're champions" as the 6th or 7th goal went in.... I am pleased their return visit to Bristol went so well, although even our building site at the time was probably better than the ground they suffered today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly three years on from our glorious back to back promotion we've lost all three of our top scorers and we are dropping like a stone. What sort of evolution is this? Sir! Sir! Me Sir! I know the answer! Is it, 'an absolutely HILARIOUS evolution?' It obviously hasn't occurred to them that after two "glorious " promotions they might have err, found their level? But no, they expect to march on towards the premier league because they have soul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were FGR, AFC Wimbledon then yes, a truly great achievement. All they have managed is to get back to the division they were in when it last started to go wrong and would you believe it... It's going wrong again! Still, I'm sure it won't be long until they describe themselves as the Newcastle United of the top divisions outside of the top two divisions... too big for for conference, not given the investment to compete in League One and SPECIAL FANS.

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 468 Walsall fans making today's home attendance a remarkable and exact 7,300. Bloody turnstiles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Another great quote... Very interesting listening to Ed Hadwin on Twentyman he seems convinced that it’s not down to Darrell and that not much in the way of investment was coming in the summer. Also said that something is going down, and that there’s definitely interest, but they can’t find anything concrete. Might be wrong, but I understand the concrete now has a tent erected on top of it. So they might want to look under there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have small home attendances and so no money and there is no-one remotely interested in giving you money, and therefore have an old, shite ground instead of what you long for ie a new, shiny ground, you console yourself by saying you have "soul," and you ease your bitter envy of your hated superiors/one-time-rivals by calling their shiny, new ground a "bowl." A "bowl" incidentally is a ground where the corners are filled in to provide enough seats for all the people that want to watch games at that ground. Rovers don't need a "bowl" or the corners filled in with seats (or tents). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Last time we were in their position in that league we were getting 10-11000 that was on the back of a relegation so not jealous of 7000, their "loyalty" they harp on about where was the loyalty when they pulled in 3000 for the last game at the greyhound track and another 3000 for the first game at Twerton. In that league I admire but not jealous of Sunderland still getting 27000, Pompey getting 16000 odd but jealous of 7000 why would we be, sooner they f--k off back to the conference the better and that might not take long. Bunch of delusional, bitter w--kers, and that's just the better ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another example of their preposterous self-aggrandisment and delusion. "Stadium" originally tended to denote something big, bigger than other venues hosting the same sort of thing.

We sold 8500 Season Tickets that season back in L1, that was after relegation from Championship in one of the worst seasons in my 30 years of watching City. They sold 5k STs after PROMOTION to L1.

Zero chance of either happening. They can’t afford to sack him and he wouldn’t have the balls or self respect to walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
