The Black Arabs or Eastville Rovers changed their name to Bristol Rovers in 1899 whilst Bristol South End changed to Bristol City in 1897. So not only were we the first in the football league Bristol City were about before Bristol Rovers . We win again. Schoolboy error. We were only formed in 1982 remember?

Why don't they sign Dean Windass? They seem to love him so much. Surely he is in their price range and most certainly available on a free!

Word is they`ve fenced in the land they acquired for their training ground but allegedly haven`t paid for it yet. I have no idea if this is true or not.

I don't know her incredibly well, but she has been around the club for years and Rovers were a huge part of her- and her husbands- life. Obviously no one can condone what she has lost her home in paying it all back and I imagine that she will regret her actions every day for the rest of her life. She did gamble it all on the Gas going up with Matty Taylor scoring a hat trick on the last game, and on the Sheeds to go down. Sadly it's a common theme with Gasheads letting their hearts rule their heads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following their relegation to the conference one Gashead was livid and nailed his season ticket to a fence in protest, anyway The following day he went back to get it and was distressed to find his nail had been stolen. #OldJokesHome 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 4 hours ago, Miah Dennehy said: I'm actually starting to get confused about it myself, I didn't realise Peterborough were now putting it about that we put in a bid for him, which seems very odd because at the end of the season Clarke said we wouldn't be looking to sign him. I think the people at Posh have put out a couple of strange stories, I think their chairman may enjoy getting people at it. Luke James had lots of chances to shine at Rovers, and the crowd stuck with him, but I think the moment his teammates encouraged him to take a penalty he clearly didn't want to take which he subsequently missed, we all realised it just wasn't going to happen for him. Obviously he will now go on to score 30 next season for FGR and get the winner against us when we draw them in the cup. That's not like you lot. Losing to a league team in the cup..! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did lose to Tranmere back when they were a league side and we weren't All joking aside, getting knocked out of the cup by non league sides doesn't even register with me any more it's happened that many times. I wasn't at Hayes but I remember being stunned at that defeat, but I was at Kettering and Hitchin and was absolutely mortified for days after.

Just like in Athletics etc, the best can only get to be so good. All those below them gradually catch up. This leads to records rarely being broken and upsets no longer being upsets.

Well, we make a habit of getting knocked out by teams a division or so below us so it`s all relative I suppose. There were some younger City fans last season who weren`t aware that the league cup actually had a second round! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Don't they need to be making a go/no go decision on UWE in the next couple of weeks? Would explain the lack of transfer activity if Wally is still trying to raise the funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty honest about Rovers, sometimes- and in very recent history- we have been a really, really bad side to watch. However, in the past 3 years or so we have been a really good side to watch. I would say any neutral coming along to see us in the past couple of seasons would enjoy watching us. Football- like most things- goes in cycles though, and things can change very quickly. I bloody hope so . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
