"If you see any products that are being sold illegally, or if you would like to enquire about the use of Club's trademarks, please email brand@bristolrovers.co.uk. " "Yes, I was sold an illegal product. It was a ticket to watch Bristol Rovers play league football against Mansfield Town at the Memorial Stadium. The "stadium" appeared to actually be a camp site, both teams seemed to be Bristol Rovers and at the end of the game (which can only loosely described as "football") I was informed that in fact one of the Bristol Rovers teams were not a league team after all." 2 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 How much do they pay the local press for this puffery? "The Memorial Stadium is not the prettiest ground, the most modern, high-tech or glamorous. But at 3pm on a Saturday, excluding when the world is in the midst of a pandemic, what it does have in bundles is soul and passion exuding from the thousands of Gasheads supporting their team." No wonder they believe their own myths really. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned before, I lived near the Mem for years and could rarely tell when they were at home. Watched Northampton against the Gas up there with a friend and apart from a few anti City songs they made little noise. They certainly aren’t anywhere near as passionate and loud as they think they are inside their massively deformed heads. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
