B-Rizzle Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Recently, there was a local news report along the lines of City/Rovers developing a closer relationship regarding loans etc. Today, Semenyo is linked as favourite to join them on loan. Sending a loan player down the road is appealing for obvious reasons but considering Rovers are pushing for the play-offs isn’t it a terrible commercial idea to help them out? In terms of attracting new fans/tourists in Bristol, don’t you want your rivals as far away from you as possible? Rovers in the championship (humongous if still!) wouldn’t be great for BCFC - would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Horrible idea. We can’t help our biggest rivals win things. If a player needs to be kept local, there’s Cheltenham, Yeovil, Bath, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I would not give them the steam off of my piss. Far from wanting them , or even helping them to get promoted , I want to see them go the other way. Imagine if the roles were reversed, would they help us out?

TonyTonyTony Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 This is classic internet bollocks. No angle makes this a good idea. It may however wind them up which is of course good. As RedDave has said - don’t think they will come up and even if they did they would get shat on in the Champ. Like really shat on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did that come from? Yes it’s a shit idea trying to help them get promotion, whilst they haven’t been proper rivals on the pitch for decades we do share the same City and the same population. The more of their kids who decide they want to watch the higher placed league club in Bristol rather than L1 hoofball the better for us in the long term.

BCFC11 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 The only way I’d be happy if Semenyo went there is if he scored as many and played aswell as Akinde did when we sent him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hate them. Always have done, always will. But do miss the local derbies. But playing devils advocate, if they did get promoted, it would make Lansdown focus the mind ref ensuring our results being better than them,. It would add a bit of needle/passion back into Bristol football (like a library at AG at the moment). it would also add a bit of “gentle pressure” in LJ ensuring this inconsistency of form stops. At the moment he can go on a relegation style run and still know his job is 100% safe. So don’t want them coming up, but all is not lost if they do IMO. But I will be in the minority I know.

big p Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 The way they treated Matty Taylor when he played Rovers earlier in the year,I would be astonished if they even considered sending our young impressionable players on loan there.

Carey 6 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 The easier to keep an eye on argument doesn’t hold weight with me. Maybe 20 years ago it would’ve. Now you can watch back full 90’s of how a players got on regardless of where they are. We don’t need to help them out, our players will do fine elsewhere. **** em.

bcfc01 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 After careful consideration; Firstly, I wouldn't like young Semenyo going to that cesspit to be abused by small time, narrow minded, tin pot, shites like them. Secondly, and more importantly, **** 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
