CotswoldRed Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Responding to the 10,000 break-even call, the Gas duly obliged with crowds of 6,500 when their team had won every home game. It's what they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what they do. Most of the fans on their forum are clear on this. £3m annual losses plus another £1m from the low gates this season means that the club is staring down the barrel of administration and their ground being sold to recoup the AQ's money. It cannot continue as it is for even three more seasons and they know it; hence the repeated eager leaping upon every wild rumour of new ground or owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still we'd probably sign his mate Neymarrr on the back of it. Deluded or what. They have absolutely no idea of reality and live inside some 1970's dream world. SAGS, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. YOU'VE GOT NO MONEY. YOU'VE GOT A MASSIVE DEBT EVER INCREASING. YOU NEED MINIMUM 10,000 CROWDS JUST TO BREAK EVEN. YOU'RE THAT STRAPPED YOU COULDN'T SIGN A NON LEAGUE IRISH PLAYER.

redsquirrel Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 personally id have thought 6500 was pretty good considering the facts that the ground is a dump,their players are shite and the nature of fellow supporters is truly atrocious. who in their right mind would attend there to watch pub league football, risk getting your head punched and possibly end up in the bri with food poisoning.

With the drop in ST income and a drop in attendances, that 65k per week that they are losing must now easily be closer to 75k which is a snake a month. The longer that goes on, the closer they come to administration. They can't be too far off now 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a shite club such as them it generally isn’t too bad, but how they continue to tell everyone how amazing their fanbase is and how loyal they are, then it is absolutely piss poor. Summed up in a nutshell in @Silvio Dante‘s post. Then in typical Sag fashion, make up complete bullshit as below: If we are missing 2000, can always do what other teams over the river do, give loads away to bolster the attendance....but money's no object to some.

I've had a shit weekend but that has really cheered me up, f.....g hilarious, in all honesty where the f..k do they get them from, do they really believe they are on par with those clubs, they are on par with Swindon, Exeter, Yeovil, Plymouth( although Plymouth much bigger) some Bath City fans I know look upon Rovers as a rival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the Evil Post today states that the Wally family are amongst the richest owners in the league with a fortune of 400 million, so I guess 40 million for a new stadium should be no problem.
