That’ll be handy for Gasheads to get their favourite Slazenger gear without having to catch the bus up to Cribbs. Bit of Pierre Cardin for away matches when they want to show off their best clobber. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on be fair, I’m sure they’re split 50/50 between Slazenger and Lonsdale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will become of this thread if we do go? You need to start thinking of your exit strategy, would it become the 'Cardiff dustbin thread' or will you wait to see if a 'phoenix' Rovers starts up and start hating them instead? Personally. I'm beginning to see the upside of this scenario. I can continue disliking City and laughing to myself when they fail without having Rovers ******* it all up for me by, well just by being Rovers really, All jokes aside, do you think that this current crisis will see the packing up of the circus tents for good. Could this be an opportunity for a certain Bristol business man to swoop in and purchase the final piece of the Bristol sporting jigsaw, hmmmmmmm.

He really wants a club that's gone into administration so that he can buy them cheaply with no big debt to clear. He'd also want a club with a high level of support in the recent past - Bolton, Derby, Sunderland, Middlesborough or Forest perhaps. Or us if we got into financial difficulty and went into administration (not going to happen). Rovers have low crowds, high debts and owners not in financial distress who are going to want back what they paid for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sense of entitlement comes from being the biggest club in the North East with 60,000 filling the ground every other , normal, week . They must have the same sense of frustration and underachievement that we felt in the third division which is a division we were too big to have been in . In fairness the supporters deserve better treatment than what they’ve experienced over the years . Still it is funny ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have all of that and as long as it is backed up by a company making at least some profit every year then you keep having those dreams and romance forever rather than regularly going through the hoop. No 1982 for us. No 2014 for Rovers. No Bury or Bolton last year. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lifelong Newcastle Fan that I meet up with a couple of times a year and we always obviously talk some football. Whilst we may have our moans (me: LJ, him: Ashley) we're both overall fine with how the clubs are being run; partly because he's looking at Sunderland and I'm looking at Rovers and we're both thinking how lucky we are compared to them. He wouldn't describe it as being "toxic". Edited April 28, 2020 by Eddie Hitler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
