Can you imagine supporting a different Championship side, visiting Ashton Gate one week then that squalid dump a few weeks later? Still, at least if they play us they might fill their ground for once.

Of course. School Holidays, kid a quid...supposedly the greatest most loyal supporters on the Planet, it’ll be a sell out. No excuse not to really.

Yes, both of those things you mention are far more embarrassing than dropping out of the entire League and spending nearly 2 decades below your City rivals. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Piss off Sag.

I won’t quote the whole survey however someone on here accurately described the Chesham win against Rovers as a ‘minnow killing’...not a ‘giant killing’.

Yeah I saw the pictures of the City fan in the Grimsby end with a City shirt on, standing out like a sore thumb. Each to their own I suppose but you’re just asking to have your nose rubbed in it if the winning penalty is banged in right in front of you.

Sorry Miah, I don’t believe that’s true. You did have the highest number of ticket sales of the 6 teams competing in the Play Off Finals that year but you didn’t have the record for most fans for one club at Wembley. For a start Millwall had 47000 fans attend a game at the old Wembley in 1999. The record at the ‘new’ Wembley set by Millwall was 45000. I think this has since been beaten by Southampton. In 2007 you sold out your allocation of 35,000 and received a further 5000 (according to your website), probably due to Shrewsbury returning tickets, as you said. It always seems quite difficult to get accurate information for ticket sales at Wembley. At the time it was stated that you had around 40000 for that match which seems about right when you consider the middle tier wasn’t open and your support encroached into the Shrewsbury ‘end’. Nothing wrong with 40k of course...buts it’s not 45k, 48k or even 50k as some Gasheads claim.

They had about 40,000 there. They had an initial allocation of 35,000 that was increased by another 5000 tickets when it became apparent Shrewsbury didn’t need their full allocation. Like other City fans I’ve heard ridiculous claims of 48k, 49k and even 50k from Gasheads....I know it’s not like Sagheads to bend the truth but the middle tier wasn’t even open. Incidentally, they call us ‘plastic’ but isn’t it funny how a day out at Wembley attracts a whopping extra 33000 ‘loyal’ Gasheads who couldn’t be arsed to go to their home games that season?

Always plenty of ammo? Yeah I suppose with our 27,000 all seater stadium, wealthy Bristolian owner, well over double their home crowds, better average away crowds every season, 3 times the number of STs, better history, over a century of League Football, the lack of tents for stands, beating Man Utd in a match televised across the Globe, giving Man City a run for their money, all the praise we’ve received in the Media, never dropped into Non League, 17 years above them... We really are the gift that keeps on giving aren’t we? Sag idiots.

I'm not sure about watering the pitch but they definitely made no efforts to get the game against a very 'in form' Stockport County played. Previous matches that winter they had called upon people to come in and help get the pitch up to scratch to keep the game on (according to the EP). If I remember correctly Jim Gannon (Stockport boss) had words to say about it at the time, the response from the blue few was typical from them, they played the innocent victim and Gannon became a bit of a hate figure at the Mem. Meanwhile on the same day we were away to Blackpool. I think Rovers won the rearranged fixture*, they crept into the Play Offs on the last day and got promoted. Stockport failed to make the top 7 (L2) in the end. Cheating bastards. *Edit: they did win the rearranged match according to their head 2 head page with Stockport.

I don’t know why you lot keep doing this to yourselves? Its never 95% full. As Sergio said, such a small stadium used by a club who constantly bang on about how amazing their support is should be 100% full each game. We were getting 11/12k for home games during the worst 7 months of supporting City in my personal memory (Aug 2013-Feb 2014, bottom of L1)....you’ve got no excuses. Ashton Gate is no different to the Mem or most other grounds in terms of atmosphere. Sometimes it’s dull, sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s incredible. Depends on many factors. Don't pretend it’s any different at Rovers. Despite a poor run of one win in 9 games we’ll still have 20k+ on Saturday against Sunderland. Mind the gap.

Before today they hadn’t lost since before Christmas. You’d think their ‘massive’ fan base would make more of an effort to go and watch their team when they’re on a good run like that?

I didn’t choose to be a Bristol City fan, I was born into a family of Bristol City fans...thank God. Our owner did watch Rovers on the terraces, yet he was quite happy to take his own son to Ashton Gate and eventually plough millions into City. Doesn’t say much about Rovers does it? His son wanted to watch City from an early age, that pretty much makes him a lifelong City fan. He’s also heir to his dads fortune. Im not the smartest light in the Christmas Tree, that’s correct. However I do know how to quote people correctly on this site, I know the difference between ‘siblings’ and ‘children’ and I don’t go on a rival fans forum and make myself look like a dick. Dimwit.

Why would that happen dimwit? Our owner is a billionaire who has proven he’s in it for the long haul. His son is a lifelong Bristol City fan. You’ve got some foreign bankers who look and act like they really don’t want to put any serious money into your funny little club. I’d worry about your own affairs if I was you Saghead.

I thought they did have owners willing and capable to invest? That's what they were all bragging about around this time 2 years ago. Its laughable to suggest they have a bigger fan base than Swansea and Huddersfield. MK Dons are getting bigger crowds than the Sags. If they were genuinely loyal they'd fill their tiny ground every home match instead of barely scraping 8k home fans in L1. ....and they call us deluded?

Beautiful. ZiderEyed with the perfect cross to set up Hucker with a great finish.

Absolutely agree, he’d scored 14 goals for the Gas last season before we’d signed him, our options up front were a bit limited and we were heading for trouble. Thanks to their desperation to keep him the previous summer he was also very cheap...something that was such common knowledge that newspapers were reporting his release fee months before the transfer window opened. Absolute no brainer to sign him and, contrary to what their ridiculous fans think, had **** all to do with derailing their season. That was just a happy bonus. Nice tent.

I don’t know who Lee Brown is but further up the thread someone has mentioned that one of their unknowns has signed for Swindle....so Mr Brown is probably giving this other Sunday League clogger a lift to his new, equally detestable, club?

Arrogant w@n kers. I don't blame that player if he wanted to stay at Yeovil, they're a bigger club with better facilities for a start. Angry little Sags are starting to scratch their misshapen heads wondering why no one wants to sign for them? Don't these potential signings realise they would get the chance to play in front of 'huge' 8000 crowds at the Mem every other week?

Happy 31st January Sagheads.

What a ******* pr!ck Deluded bitter morons. We are Bristol City from Ashton Gate, our spiritual home of over 100 years. Bristol’s best supported team with attendances that have always been higher than theirs. We’ve played in the top flight. More than a century of League Football, never lost our place in the League Pyramid whilst they’ve spent their ‘proud’ history bumming around Division 3 (or lower ) moving from shithole to shithole doing bugger all year after year. Well done them

This is them all over. Trawling the net looking for anyone making positive comments about City and then boring those people to death with their highly biased view of Bristol football that happens to paint them as the poor little victims and plucky loyal fans. Part time fans? As if they're any better. Funny how they find 2-4k day trippers who want to go and watch them at big grounds they haven't played at for decades like Molineux or Stamford Bridge but only manage 2-300 at places like Gillingham. "We'd fill the UWE every week" they say but they can't fill the tiny ground they've got now. Not enough comfy seats for their plastics to sit on apparently. Their fans are hardly angels either with their racist abuse of players and members of the public, thieving from players and their SC, boob cricket and various pathetic attempts to attack visiting fans outside their shithole. Bet that bitter turd doesn't mention any of that when he's begging for attention on Social Media.

Omega Seamaster, quite nice. The kid's probably swapped it for some Pokemon cards by now.

So who had the phone down their kacks? And why the **** would they be happy to put it anywhere near their mouth afterwards? It's not like you can chuck an iPhone in the dishwasher They truly are something else and not in a good way.

haha, yeah....what kind of defence is that?? If someone's looking for a thief that's practically an admission of guilt.

The gift....
