Close the forum, sack the team and demolish Ashton gate, we just can't compete with a club that has two nicknames. .....and yet they even had to rely on us to come up with one of their nicknames, the one of which they are most “prowed” - only that scruffy lot would adopt a term of ridicule as a nickname. They think they are somehow unique as a club and a fanbase - but they just make me laugh, a lot and often... Edited March 22, 2019 by BS4 on Tour...

They are universally loved and much preferred to “da shit” They must rank as the most popular second team of most supporters across the globe and for the others, they are a definite close third..! I don’t know if details have been released yet, but Real & Barcelona are using their clout to pressurise La Liga into changing the dates of their season, I believe to finish their campaigns by the end of February, so that the thousands (probably tens of thousands) of their supporters who rush home ever Saturday evening to see how Rovers have got on, are able to migrate to Horfield for the final couple of months of the English season, to cheer on “The Gas” (El Gas, as you’ll see plastered all over the walls of the Bernabau & Camp Nou) Unfortunately, this is not going to be passed in time for them to whiteness this season’s late push for the play offs, but I’m sure there will be beambacks laid on for the crunch games.

Meanwhile the relegation threatened team plays in a ground that would embarrass a medium sized school whilst the training ground develops nothing other than weeds. I'm not one hundred percent convinced that the owners have their priorities right. Don't mock the latest products of their training ground academy .... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I was just reading a story ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47631739 ) about the relegation situation in League One and spotted the comment below. 33. Posted by Thebluesarestayingup on 5 minutes ago Hopefully Bristol Rovers go down. Maybe Colin Daniel will come back and score the goal to relegate you again and keep Wycombe up.

Unan Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 They’re so jealous & bitter they have to make gems like this up. Polish mate had a good night.....he said pitch looking wonderful but stadium is sh!t ! Haha! Didn't like it, can't see the other side of pitch if in first few rows. Also didn't like the area where he parked his car! ....I did tell him, that's Ashton for you. But I guess depending on where he lives in Poland, Trashton appears to be a sh!thole..

A *cough* acquaintance of a friend once burgled Hull's house in Rochester. He didn't know it was the at-then-peak-fame celebrity's dwelling, he just thought it was some random big house. Anyway, suddenly Rod appeared at the top of the staircase, wearing nowt but an open dressing gown. The intruder was so stunned at seeing him that he just stood still and the Emu-less entertainer hacked down the stairs and gave him a right leathering. Despite being quite old and emaciated-looking apparently Rod was as strong as ****.
