Gert Mare Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Swede said: I actually dislike swindle more than the sags and all of the shenanigans that went on during our double winning season just underlined that for me. The sags however are just a laughing stock and continue to be almost on a daily basis. I mean the latest laugh being that their support is up there with Derby, West Ham & Blackburn. Very delusional. Try asking a sag fan [and they are becoming a rarity] for an explanation or even trying to engage in any constructive debate and in less than a minute one is usually met with the standard response of "shithead" I have tried this on a number of occasions and it quickly deteriorates on their side, turning nasty and generally followed by “F.off you shithead lady garden”. I also have to agree with a comment from another member of this forum who said that they wear their clown outfit shirts around all day long without any issue, but as soon as they see you in a City shirt there is always some mumbling of “shithead” from them, like you are wearing it just to purposely wind them up rather than show support for your team. They truly are a bunch of absolute belters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kerry, I take it you concede that the term ‘loyal and true’ can therefore not be applied to your fanbase as they would rather watch a shambles of an England cricket performance, an England football game that started after yours concluded or stand in a muddy field watching canvas structures full of hot air (no, I don’t mean your home games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Their next game is Champions League night so that's another excuse in the bag..... I thought they were loyal and true and would watch them from the pavements etc etc, it seems they have the excuse of cricket now (and not even boob cricket at that). Balloon fiesta 11th August 2018 - Sags v Accrington - attendance 8,683 Balloon fiesta 10th August 2019 - Sags v Wycombe - attendance 7,668 (and I bet Wycombe brought more than Accrington last season, showing a big drop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Funny how Bristolians stayed away from the cabbage patch during the Ashes but not from AG during the same Ashes series on 17th August. Over 21,000 vs QPR. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm sure the Balloon Fiesta had a massive impact on their attendance what with the mass ascents being cancelled the day before and the site being closed completely later on the Saturday. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also charge them clean up fees for every act of vandalism by their jealous ungrateful "fans", assuming there were some who would actually come to the gate to watch.

To have so many events, whether cancelled or not, going on near the time that they play is obviously something organised by SL in the background. It's what he does, the dirty tax evading she ted. He's got the council planning department in his pocket and he's doing all he can to ruin the new state of the art stadium, because, his team won't be able to compete with them once they are on an upward spiral.

Bar BS3 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 You’ve got to see their claims are valid. They’ve also forgotten to mention that as they were taking on Accrington last Saturday, there were also games kicking off at Fleetwood, Bradford & Cambridge.
