Unan Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I always prefer the small team in rivalries, I think just most people do. Port Vale > Stoke, Everton > Liverpool, Luton/Barnet > Watford, Notts County > Forest. Just goes to show they're regarded as the small club in the City.

Swede Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 "Good to be playing against Bristol Rovers today, on my way down. Proper club #brfc are, #gasheads are proper top notch folk. As for #BristolCity...their fans are proper sad, strange folks desperate to relegate us a couple of years ago. Ashton Gate smells like poo as well." So by definition of a proper club this fake brummie expects to see numerous tents & sheds, drink fake Fanta and watch a group of men meander around in unusual quirky clothing. Seems like he's mistaken a football ground for some middle eastern market . . . .how bazaar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2000 Birmingham have been in the Premiership and won the League Cup, they play in a City with a population far bigger than Bristol yet their crowds don’t reflect this...often getting lower attendances than us. This Brummies definition of a ‘proper club’ with ‘proper fans’ is simply just a club with inferior facilities and crowds to their nearest neighbours...a club just like them basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Come on...! I’m sure we’ve all been to away matches, pre-season or otherwise, at grounds with a mish mash of temporary, canvas roofed “stands”, joining up the gaps inbetween 2 very odd, random looking stands, with a bit of crumbing terracing behind one goal - where the refreshments were with fake or out of date, and where the home numbers of support only just topped those of the visiting team, and I’m sure that the overwhelming feeling of all of us on those occasions has been how impressive it all is and what a “proper” club they must be. Especially when compared to their City rivals, scraping by on their 20k+ attendances, in their rebuilt stadium that is the envy of many, building a reputation of producing their own big money talent and nurturing that of some of the top premier league clubs. I can totally see where this guy is coming from and it sounds completely legit to me..! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they all be wearing eye liner make up and play presumably in leather jackets? I must say it all looks a bit demeaning and sexist to me. Perhaps the leather jacket is to cover up the joker's outfit underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 And now the Jacks have gone and upset the blue few on Sagshat , ahead of their glamour pre season friendly at the dump ___________ Just had a quick read of a couple of Swansea forums, pompus w@nkers but they are bang on about the stadium: - When you see all the big tops you are in the right place, its not billy smarts although there will be plenty of clowns wearing blue and white. - When you get to the ground the away end is the shed at the end of the allotments. - I am looking forward to seeing peoples comments after the game as this is the worst ground you will visit. Those Jack ****ts should remember where they came from. I remember attending the vetch and sharing the away terrace with weeds and thistles up to my waist. Attendance that day had to be around 1200 as well. Couple of seasons in the Prem and decent stint in the championship has warped em. They are lucky to be in a one club city with a forward thinking council. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyisared Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Seems to have been a weird game. Swansea put out a very strong team and the sags put out a decent quality team with a few younger players in it. In fact second half the sags had almost an U23s team. But yeah, Swansea definitely weren't playing their youth team. I'm not getting overly excited because two losses to Championship level opposition is, well, expected for them. They play Plymouth away in a friendly on Saturday. If they get battered by them, reminiscent of their 4-0 drubbing to Exeter last season, that will be the time to get excited. With Bury and Bolton both on minus 12 points, depleted squads and Clarke-Harris imo looking like he's not going to leave then relegation seems unlikely to me. Their financial situation is a completely different beast though, which is clear through the fact they haven't spent anything this window! EDIT: Think about it like this. The longer Rovers are in League 1, the more we get to see them lose, and the higher the probability of them getting even worse financially.

I never see anyone wearing sag shirts in public anyway so I don’t know why they get so pissy about the lack of sag shirts in some poxy Council video?
