Of course I would love us to have your wealth, and all that it brings with it, but Rovers are my club of choice and that's the way it will stay. How long ago was it that you chose the Blue path?

He says: “The funny thing is that we [Bristol Rovers and Bristol City] need each other. “When Rovers were failing a couple of years ago – and Darrell has done brilliantly to get them back – when they were failing, it affected City, I don’t care what you say. “You need some competition and the closer they get, the better it’s going to be.” What, you mean like in 14/15 while your tramps were grubbing around in non league and we were pissing L1 and winning the FL Trophy do you Holloway, you absoulte ****wit? He genuinely said that? What a strange logic that is, clearly the gaslogic that often comes up when a Sag opens their mouth, and as for anyone who really believes Skeletor when he tells the media that he actually likes Bristol City it’s bollox, he’s close friends with the other half’s family and he hates us as much as we hate him.

There are so many ‘great’s in there it seems like Tony the Tiger has written it! Just to confirm, the official attendance was 446. Great.

Load of bollocks again from another gashead trying to promote, gain sympathy, win support and big his club up. We need them like we need a few more injuries to key players. There are plenty of clubs that survive quite nicely without a direct competitor. Leeds, Derby, Swansea, Cardiff, Brighton, Southampton, Pompey, Newcastle, Sunderland, Boro, Blackburn the list goes on and, most of them have been more successful than us as a one club city/town. In my opinion they hold us back, hanging onto our shirt tails and doing their utmost to hinder us in all our plans, even when it's to the detriment of themselves and our city. They have been put on this planet to embarrass the city of Bristol and split the support in our well to do city (compared to some), but, it appears to be changing.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Hollowhead bloke is as deluded as the rest of them, isn't he. Why on earth does he say that we need them? I have to say that I always thought that he might have had half a brain, but now I'm seriously wondering if the other half has gone too. Next thing we will no doubt hear is that he is taking over as their new manager and that his first signing is going to be Neymar. No more far fetched than any of Wally's promises, is it?

GreedyHarry Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 And the gifts keep on coming. A Take That tribute band, no less. WHAT. A. TREAT! Take That at the Mem Rep mftc Reserve Team about an hour ago Quote Rather than shell out a small fortune to see some people (who could be anyone) from a long way away, apart from on a TV screen at Trashton, why not pop along to the Helpline Christmas Party ( in November). You can actually see up close and personal a live act performing Take That covers. Do we have a good sense of humour, or could you really make it up! PS is the Rovers fan who was (is?) a guitarist and songwriter with band still with them? (Take That not the covers band). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what most of the fewers think in their tiny deluded minds (that we need each other) was talking to one of the less fortunate the other day and his words was ‘most of the rovers fans that I know is that their problem is that they are far too interested in what City are doing’ tbf he’s spot on, he also said how we are lightheaded ahead of them and they should just forget about what’s happening at AG, he didn’t let us down though he just had to mention the ‘loyal and true’ and how they’ve got a Championship fanbase his response was look how many we took to Wembley etc, yet couldn’t muster a reply when I asked why do they all boycott your home games then. So even when you think your actually having a decent conversation with a Sag, the bullshit delusion always shines through in the end.

Swede Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 A timely reminder to the few City fans who have a small misguided admiration for skeletor. Like most sags he's green with envy with the great strides we're making on and off the pitch showcasing Bristol and Bristol Sport and every positive thing we do just highlights even further all of the negativity surrounding his poxy old club. He is an odious small minded individual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
