He'd be lost with todays sanitised "football experience." Former Rovers fanzine editor now an AFC Wimbledon supporter, got disillusioned during the Higgs era. Would’ve thought they’d come sprinting back now they are such a well-run outfit under Wael...

(can't remember which exactly) who used to frequent the East End every home game in the late 60s/early 70s. I knew that one well until I left the area for a short while due to work during the 70s. I never knew that one as a gashead!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland, Boro, Hull etc It’s not remarkably close, especially as they claim to travel everywhere in much larger numbers than us and our away support is supposedly ‘shit’.

"There are many causes, much more important that Rovers, and if I was to invest in Football it would be in a new ground for Frome, one that would last them a good 20 odd years and one where they had, a café, restaurant, bar and whatever so that they could survive. I think you can make a huge difference to a small club rather than watch a big club piss it against the wall" it looks like he thinks they are a big club? It also looks like he thinks they've got a wall! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean they are still boycotting this competition or as a proportion of their home vs away support, because their home support is so shit, this merely confirms that they travel away in massive numbers because it's 'what they do'? Either that or they were staying at home watching the Brexit debate....any reason not to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Tom Nicholls scored again. Must be worth £10m by now. Shame about the 30p buy out clause. Away support not even into 3 figures. Embarrassing. Losing to Plymouth reserves. Even more embarassing Losing on penalties, Terribly embarrassing. Tinpot, I tells ee.

Ask any Rovers fan about travelling to away games and the first line they generally trot out is that ‘shitheads’ (said with gritted teeth and a seething sneer) are fair weather supporters unlike them who are faithful and true. Then you’ll hear about Ashton Gate being a library followed by ‘shitheads’ (said with gritted teeth with a seething sneer) moaning expecting to be top of the league by some divine right because they are arrogant and deluded. Finally, ‘shitheads’ (said with gritted teeth and a seething sneer) spit at old ladies and they also spit at their own players as soon as they have a bad game because City are a vile so-called ‘family’ club, Matty Taylor is a snake, 1982, Dean Windass. All this justification totalled up in their heads proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that they travel in numbers and we just turn up when the going is good. #Gaslogic 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, saw him at Fulham in '72, told him I thought he was Rovers, he replied "**** the Rovers", knew quite a few back in the day who switched to City, apparently it was a better laugh with our lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lad I grew up with kept "crossing the floor". He started as Gas, switched to City, went back to the Gas, then back to City and ended up as a Man U fan. I haven't seen him in over 20 years, but I would happily bet a lot of money that he supports Man City now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
