The goals going in elsewhere, Daniels strike, hitting the post, desperation, full time, the GT call in. Unlucky Da Shit It was such a wonderful day! I was sat outside Severnshed with some mates following their desperate attempts to equalise on my phone, and as it became more apparent that it really might happen other City fans there came over after hearing our shouting. We went ******* tonto at the final whistle haha. We had a couple more celebratory beers before getting a taxi to Gloucester Road (I live in enemy territory!) and got in to find the driver was a beaming fellow City fan pissing himself at the whole affair too! Their shell shocked faces in the pubs in BS7 that night were a beautiful sight to behold, especially for someone like me who had been at Twerton on 02/05/90! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's not until all the gifts that they keep giving are revisited that one finally realises what a unique club and bunch of fans they are. There has to be some sort of book or documentary that can be made to capture what is clearly an absolutely farcical football club. 800+ pages on here alone would be a start as well as all the TV footage and newspaper reports. I just hope it continues as they are a joy to behold!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 One of my favourites (there are so many) was the display at the UWE Fresher's Fair in which someone had depicted "da famus quarterz" by scribbling on a whiteboard. Tinpot doesn't do justice to their constant displays of ineptitude. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less distraction and more idiotic delusion that anyone would be remotely interested in what a 3rd tier, badly run football team would think about the referendum result. And the “statement” doesn’t even say anything, it’s a non-statement. We should have a vote on the funniest thing Rovers have done over the last 5 years.

Relegated from the entire league by a team wearing their kit. That was a day I will never forget, Radio Bristol phone in was comedy gold, and I was in the Essex in Kingswood that night....brilliant, just brilliant. Thick shites didn't realise we were taking the piss. Marvellous night that was. 2. The UWE open day "stand" which showed in spades just how tinpot that insignificant little shite of a club are. 3. The open top bus tour - what possessed them ? it was cringing and embarrassing - but they're used to that. 4. The Al Qadi's. "6th richest club in England", "we're coming to get you", etc etc, carrying 'ol Wally on their shoulders up the Gloucester Road - now look at 'em. 5. Santas Grotto sums them up but there are so many more gifts, too many to mention - the tents and the new "family stand", far too many. They truly are the gift that keeps giving. A totally unprofessional and tinpot outfit. Read 'em and weep Pikeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I`ve said it before and I`ll say it again - I sometimes think that the club are a long term installation project by the KLF. However, I doubt that, even in the most twisted parts of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty`s imaginations, that they could dream up a stunt as convincing as BRFC. Ether that or it`s the most successful project they`ve ever undertaken and it`s now taken on such a life of it`s own that it won`t stop until the whole thing self -destructs. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 12 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: 2) If however the sale is of Bristol Rovers 1883 then the new owners get a ground which is mortgaged to the hilt with the £12m debt owed to Dwane Sports and no training ground. Bristol Rovers 1883 by now (there is a big lead time for the accounts) is likely to have zero or negative net assets. This is a lame duck club; unable to borrow any more money against its assets and even with serious cost cutting will be losing £600k a year. If the scenario is (2) then gasheads would do to be very careful about wanting their current owners out. But as the chant goes: "One Mark Goldberg, There's only one Mark Goldberg..." and nobody in their right mind would follow suit...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
