Relegated from the entire league by a team wearing their kit. That was a day I will never forget, Radio Bristol phone in was comedy gold, and I was in the Essex in Kingswood that night....brilliant, just brilliant. Thick shites didn't realise we were taking the piss. Marvellous night that was. 2. The UWE open day "stand" which showed in spades just how tinpot that insignificant little shite of a club are. 3. The open top bus tour - what possessed them ? it was cringing and embarrassing - but they're used to that. 4. The Al Qadi's. "6th richest club in England", "we're coming to get you", etc etc, carrying 'ol Wally on their shoulders up the Gloucester Road - now look at 'em. 5. Santas Grotto sums them up but there are so many more gifts, too many to mention - the tents and the new "family stand", far too many. They truly are the gift that keeps giving. A totally unprofessional and tinpot outfit. Read 'em and weep Pikeys. Matty Taylor..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippycar Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 When Wall-e took over (aka his parents bought him a cowboy outfit), they never actually paid off the debts and so Higgs & co were (are) still owed mega bucks. At the time the benefit for Mr Higgs was that he wasn't having to keep putting his hands in his pockets to bail out the sinking pirate ship. Fast forward to now and Walle-e doesn't have a debt (loan) requirement of £12m as Mr Higgs can go and sh*ft himself. Just another perspective in this glorious comparison, to Steve Lansdown spending £12m (as a £2.5 billionaire), is effectively spending just £4,800 of his wealth when compared to that of a millionaire and who wouldn't want to be a millionaire? (maths calculation - a billionaire is 1,000 times richer than a millionaire, Steve is 2,500 times richer than a millionaire, ergo £12m divided by 2500 = £4,800.00 In other words, our benefactor f'n rich and could bail them out for almost pocket money, of course he wouldn't, but the sags can dream Long live Mr L 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it feels like yesterday - it's impossible to think of it with a straight face - but have they not been back in the league for longer? They have been a League club for 3 ad a half years, so the open top bid fiasco was well within the 5 year timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, so many hilarious gifts. I don’t think anything can beat getting relegated out of the entire League. The fact it happened against a club wearing a Bristol Rovers kit is beautifully symbolic of their habit of shooting themselves in the foot that has been with them for decades. Even hardened Gasheads have to admit they are ‘the Gift that keeps on giving’.

Bath City knocking them out of the FA Trophy on their own patch was especially good with both a former City player and a City fan scoring past them.. That Bath team was full of former City lads/fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
