“I’m absolutely certain we can deliver, and get the rovers fans right behind this football club and right behind this team, and proud walking around this city with their chest puffed out and their quarters on”
 

Oh yes, they sure would be prowed 

Keep chests covered up, you never know who might be playing a game of boob cricket!

'If you look at what we did at Fleetwood with an average attendance of 2,000-3,000, imagine what we can do if we’re getting 12,000 in the Mem.' 

whos gonna tell him? 

Dear Mr Barton

I am very sorry to inform you that Bristol Rovers have not averaged gates of over 10000 for 40 years.  If you have been misled, that is because they are liars.

P.s if they tell you a number that they took to Wembley, it is good practice to knock 15000 off that number.

Not trying , you’ve succeeded . It was a joke mate 

I'm getting sensitive about anybody trying to suggest we are anywhere near to being as bad as them. Could you imagine what the Rovers fans would be like if they were above us for 20 seasons (or even 20 mins ), trust me there wouldn't be any comments like Bristol football is embarrassing or we're both lower league clubs, they would absolutely revel in it.

Normality will be resumed next season . Gas in the 4th division , city in the 3rd 

Not trying to be pedantic, but Rovers have not spent many seasons in their history in the 4th tier. Rovers average placing is middle of the third tier. City's average placing is bottom third of the second tier.

Hate these type of statements/reactions as it plays into the Gas hands. Lumps City (1 point off 7th in the championship) in the same boat as Rovers (heading for the fourth tier). 20 years since they've been above is in the league, don't mention them in the same breath as us.

On a different note, I listened to some of Radio Bristol's Gas programme on the way home from work, priceless comedy. The Director of football was claiming that 4 left backs and no strikers is not poor recruitment. He went on to point out that two of the left backs can actually play left wing back! He also criticised Tisdale for saying the squad was unbalanced. That seems like a marriage made in heaven..not.

The ultimate for me would have been the morning after Donowa. 1991. Last year at school and we hadn't beaten them in nearly 5 years...coinciding with my secondary school years.....in terms of derbies it was a terrible period to be a City Fan.....strange to think they held the whip hand for that long

I was at secondary school in then fairly solid blue Hanham (thankfully no longer the case) from 86-91 and it was hellish. The Gary Smart winner was a particular low point. We battered them and then he hits a wonder goal out of nothing. It really was a painful period and even promotion to the second tier came after being thrashed at Trumpton and second to them. I never moan nowadays, after going through that spell and the 4th division years, to be second tier and light years ahead of the gas for over 20 years is pure heaven to me.

Foundations laid but Ben Garner's results were just not good enough for Bristol Rovers

That's a first. Normally they make do with some firm ground and some metal pegs.

If losing 4 goals at home to the second largest club in the Blackpool region is the foundations, I'd hate to see the house

Are Chelsea good or are we terrible?

I think the top teams (3 or 4) are spending a fortune now compared with a few seasons ago. There could be a danger of the WSL becoming like the Scots Premier, where there are some big thrashings as the budgets are hugely different from the top and bottom of the league.

Also the point of the interview was to talk about getting kits of teams the Sags have played yet he is wearing a Sampdoria shirt. Have they played them?

Maybe one of their Champions League ties a few years back

So its alright for thousands of people to sit on Bournemouth beach and wander around the town at will. 100's mingling in town centres shopping and from September 30 kids plus a few adults compressed in small classrooms (indoors !!) but sports fans cant be trusted to act responsibly inside a stadium.

Sorry but from someone who strictly adheres to social distancing I think it is more mixed messages from Government. 

I would quite happily return to watch live football if every second seat is left unoccupied, concession stands and toilets closed (so no queueing).

Under the above guidelines I wont be attending if I have to turn up 3 hrs before...especially after a 2 hour journey to get to the ground in the first place.

If there was a Saturday and Tuesday home match you'd be better sleeping in the concourse

I think toilets would be closed at half time to avoid lots of people in there, they'd be open during the 90 mins.

How do you know this mate?

Sorry missed your question last week, I can't really say, but sadly it has played out like that. Schools will close on Friday 20th March and then life in Britain will look radically different for everyone. Sport, Glastonbury etc will not happen.

Perhaps they could give match ticket holders, access to robins tv?

I'd imagine it would be relatively easy for the EFL to stream all games on the Internet. The problem might be the money that SKY have paid to screen Championship matches exclusively.

No cases in Bristol as of yet 

I have to be very careful what I say, but I will say that there are a sizeable number of suspected cases in Bristol who are self isolating. The majority of those are people who have been in countries such as Italy, Thailand and China and are now showing symptoms. The message from the authorities to people in positions of power is to suppress as much as possible to prevent panic.

One thing is certain, sport will be hit very hard. However, when it is sport v health it is a no brainer. I hope a deal can be done to give fans the chance to watch all behind clothes doors events on tv.

Meanwhile, over on Asschat

GC is the answer everyone says??? People stopped coming to the games because it was pathetic football to watch when we were **** i n g 4th, never hated a number so much because the you narrow minded retards banging on about it,
Grown men crying about “but we were 4th”.
Get over it for **** sake, man up
If GC stayed here we would never have stayed in the play offs because we haven’t got the squad,
The likes of Portsmouth / Peterborough / Coventry / Sunderland / Doncaster have the squads and more money to stay there. FACT

When Dc was in charge and we played exciting football with brown/bodin/Taylor...we won games and the attendance was high.

GC won games and people didn’t turn up but the morons want him back playing sh** football and all he had was sh** off fans saying coughlan out/ p.e teacher doesn’t know what he’s doing!!!
So much so he was begging fans to stop having a go at his family and slagging him off and get behind the team.

Now the same people want him back.

Now it’s become so toxic these so called thick ******** gasheads seem to be happy we’re losing games to say see I told you get GC back,

Total embarrassment and pathetic individuals on 

great fun that, can't wait until they publish the results

More words of wisdom from this deluded Saghead. What he fails to mention of course is that our ‘pathetic’ record in the FA Cup since 2007 has included us getting knocked out by PREMIERSHIP teams such as Middlesbrough, West Ham, Wolves, Watford (twice), Burnley, Blackburn and West Brom.

How pathetic of us....

Didn't the ‘mighty’ Crawley once dick the Gas 4-0?   

Don't you realise they beat Derby once....but they don't like to talk about it.

I'd be willing to take one of their young stars on loan for my Sunday morning pub team. I couldn't guarantee him a match as we usually have 12 but if I can find him the missing second subs shirt he can get 10 mins at the end when our 45 year right back is breathing out his arse.

So funny. They seem to completely gloss over the fact that they WITHDREW FUNDING (i.e. cutting off support for women's football altogether, leaving it for various bodies to pick up the pieces). Only then did the Women's team go on to greatness.

Why couldn't they achieve greatness with Rovers' £3.75 per week pumped in?

Interesting, the person who told me, knew him and was convinced it is true, however, I've posted it before and nobody has colloborated it, at the same time nobody has said he was a Gashead either!
