Obviously I have played at Fleetwood and Accrington and no disrespect to them sides but the fan base here is unbelievable" Why did they do the interviews in someone's garage? Barton did tell the truth, 'we have a great training complex here in Bristol'. He omitted to say 'it's Bristol City's and we train in a shed' but he didn't lie, there is a great training complex in Bristol, it's just not theirs.

bcfc01 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Some bloke signs up to their little forum club and his first post criticises a new player and Barton and this is the response; "We’ve had a glut of trollish accounts register on here recently. I don’t know if it’s the relegation or the lockdowns or Joey Barton, but it’s got quite hard for the mods to deal with. It just ruins the place for other members quite frankly. So I’m sorry Smashngrab1, you might be a genuine Gashead, in which case feel free to reregister and share your passion about the Gas, but an obviously incendiary first post attacking a player who’s only been here five minutes suggests otherwise. So you’re gone." Classic moderating from them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now, that may be a bonus. I'm thinking that's what confused Sam Finley, he's been watching Sky, and when they said you've got an opportunity to play in Bristol he automatically thought of us. Imagine his shock when he turned up and it was those reprobates. And saw the ground and training facilities. That's why he's looking so sad. He's been duped. Imagine how you’d feel as a national league player who makes the final played at Ashton Gate. Win at Ashton Gate and reward is to play at the Mem 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this forum is one of the better ones, because it allows other teams support on to add to the points of views. There are plenty of different ides on here, I don't agree with all (much?) but that's the point of a forum, debate. I'm happy to accept when I'm wrong. What's the point of a forum that's only purpose is ego stroking? Without disagreement you can't learn or grow, which is probably why they don't want any other supporters on there.. Bizarre really as they are the mostest loved team around 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a forum at all is it, but a private little (emphasis on the word little) fraternity of fanbois whose only remit is to accept new members only if they fall inline with their self-constructed echo chamber. Could there even be another football club forum anywhere on the web like that one? And the temerity to question whether the poster is a genuine Rovers fan! as if the idea of a 'genuine Rovers fan' is grounds for actual debate! Jeeeez. Imagine if every new poster here had their City-supporting credentials immediately put under scrutiny. Not welcomed onboard as one of us, free to post whatever they wish, but jumped on, cross-examined, and then arbitrarily tossed out the door. This really says everything there is to know about them.

For balance, on average, we’re watched by 4.5% of Bristolians. Super post - I’ve been shouted down for using percentages of populations before - eg when people on here have slagged off the attendances of clubs like Wigan and Burnley I’ve politely pointed out that the home crowds of both those clubs are far more impressive than ours - even more so given that they are both surrounded by bigger and better clubs short distances away - we don’t even have that excuse! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
