hantsred Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Could be aimed at the City women's team/supporters as they play in the same league as Lewes I suspect a bored gashead however training in digital manipulation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Be a bit daft if it was from a gashead though wouldn't it? Shit stadium, weird fans, been below us 20 odd years. Surely they would not be that stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Still my favourite was the Not The Nine O'Clock News "Lord Lucan has been found alive and well. He has been playing centre forward for Bristol City". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 If they changed Bristol City to Derby County and posted it on the DCFC fans forum, Lewes FC would immediately get onto the ever growing Derby fans' hit list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think we should turn this into a thing. Let’s retaliate with a few “who the **** are Lewes” banners, and get a few anti-Lewes chants going. We can even invent our own derogatory nickname for them, like LOSE-es, LOO-is or EEEEEWis. You’re just a small town in Brighton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 In 2001 Mangotsfield United played Lewes in the 4th (final) qualifying round of the FA Cup. 1500 at Cossham Street. The Mango fans were singing 'We've got David Seal' and 'Feed the Seal and he will score'. At the end of the match it was nil nil and a Lewes fan piped up about David Seal saying that Mangotsfield could keep him and a fat lot of good he did. I thought it was disrespectful to an ex-Bristol City striker so what they have done now doesn't surprise me. Mangotsfield United lost the replay two nil.

IAmNick Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Removed the blokes surname, but my guess is that this is why: "Volunteer of The Week'! This week we caught up with Supporters Club member Terry [surname]. Terry is originally a Bristolian and a lifelong Bristol Rovers fan but he now shares his allegiances with Lewes FC and spends many of his Saturdays down at the Pan carrying out vital maintenance work. We asked Terry - mid-hammer blow - those three all important questions. He considered each one carefully before replying with his soft Bristol lilt... Why did you choose to volunteer for Lewes FC? “I don’t think I actually did volunteer - it just happened. I was here one day and some-one said, ‘You’ll do this won’t you?’ and next thing I knew I was painting toilets!” Which team would you most like us to beat? “Always Bristol City” If you could put a message on a billboard for all the world to see, what would it be? “Try and get on with life: don’t fret, don’t hassle people, don’t be extreme!”" Not sure I believe that last sentence of his! Pretty funny though, fair play to him if he's the culprit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good detective work, looks like the culprit. Terry (if he was born here he's still a Bristolian, if evidently a sadly misguided one) probably left Bristol to get away from Rovers. If he'd much rather paint toilets in another part of the country than watch them who can blame him? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intentionally hid his surname - it's probably pretty embarrassing for so many people who may well have considered him a friend to now realise he's got such a horrible past he's clearly tried to escape.
