When Steve meets Wael...

Hold your horses there mate, I'm not suggesting that Lansdown will definitely go down that route BUT he is a businessman. The 'new' Ashton Gate with football and rugby could become a more attractive proposition for any large company prepared to part with big money to have their name attached to a stadium. Not saying I think it will happen but you never know... Hopefully it'll never happen but if it did, people would still call it Ashton Gate anyway.

Isn't this guy something to do with FIFA?

The year we had a higher average attendance than the Gas who were in the division above us you mean? I know Rovers never get above 10k usually but I would've thought today of all days with 'El Presidente' strutting his stuff around the Mem the Blue Few would've actually made a bit of an effort. Where's this amazing fanbase they were talking about yesterday?

7400??? ******* idiots! They're supposed to wait for the insane Foreign owner to change their kit to red and rename them 'Bristol Buccaneers' before boycotting games.

I wonder if 'GazSaid' will join the other Gasheads who say they are planning to wave £20 notes at Morecombe fans today. You see, it's that sort of humility and general lack of arrogance that make Gasheads so loved and respected by every other clubs fans....whilst everyone hates us obviously. Thats what they've been saying for years anyway. I genuinely believe a large number of their fans are going to show their true colours now which will make them more hated than they pretend we are. This is great, and they've still got the hard work of trying to catch up with us. Welcome to Bristol Mr Al Qadi

....cringeworthy

Yeah, of course you were. I respect the Gasheads like In the Net, Miah and Bert Tann who had broad enough shoulders to post on here throughout Rovers time in Non League (your Sugardaddy won't be able to wipe that from your history by the way). You'll be gone again as soon as you realise that buying your way up the leagues isn't as easy as so many Gasheads seem to think it is. Dont pretend that Gasheads get banned on here as quickly as they do on your forums though.

Seemed a tad obsessed didn't he? Definate inferiority complex. Bizarre ramblings. I bet he posts on Slagchat.

Slagchat is an amusing read now they've had a chance to let the Strongbow kick in... I swear they recycle that OTIB 'what do the initials really mean?' thread every few weeks, elsewhere on the board they're getting really upset with some City fan suggesting that this guy might not be worth as much as they think. Some muppet has started a thread just to suggest that they are different from us because they have "spirit and soul".... I wonder who they are trying to convince, us or themselves?

'Claimed' to despise CR....I never believed them for a second At the end of the day they are now the 'plaything' of a very wealthy man...a 'Sugardaddy'. In the past a lot of their fans have critisised and mocked City for the way we are financed however as soon as a foreign investor with a few quid comes along promising the good times they're quite happy to forget about that. Personally I think it's a good thing if only because they won't be able to use the same excuses anymore about lack of money being the reason why their crowds and league position don't match ours. It'll be interesting to see how confident they are with their new owners if things go badly...how often have we heard predictions of Lansdown walking away leaving us fuq ed? Good luck with the Jordanian Chelsea fan if it all goes tits up. Maybe it won't go tits up, who knows? I just think they don't realise (some Gasheads) how difficult it actually is to buy success....not that they'd ever wet their pants with excitement about the mere suggestion of buying success.

Exactly this. They are on the brink of becoming the very thing they've always claimed to despise and they're loving it. Long, long way to go before its known whether this is going to be good for them or not. I think it's a bit bizarre that this has happened before the findings of the Appeal Court are known, presumably Higgs and Co are far from confident of a good outcome against Sainsburys. They'd do well not to gloat too much until they've actually achieved something, they'll be subject to the same financial rules that we are, likewise we would be wise not to write off these investors straight away. One thing is for sure, as I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't swap them for the Lansdowns. At least we know our guys are committed to the club and our future.

...couple of morons rather hilariously 'jumping the gun' on that thread (apart from the OP who sounds like he/she has mental issues and a serious inferiority complex). Some others are wisely more cautious...

Unlike their fans...

Miah is a Gashead. I think we'll be hearing this a lot from Gasheads over the coming weeks. I predict a massive U turn in Rovers fans opinions regarding rich owners, money in football and what constitutes being a 'plastic' football club or the 'plaything' of a rich Sugardaddy. They probably won't be so interested in who pays tax where either. Welcome to the real World Gasheads but I'd much rather have Lansdown.

Shit!! Please tell me it's not the end of the DFS sale??

Geoff Twentyman?

Exactly this. They hate 'Sugardaddies' who throw money at clubs, even Lansdown who is a local businessman and supporter. It's not because they're bitter..oh no..its because they are a 'real' club with 'real' supporters whilst we are the plastic 'plaything' of a wealthy man who will **** off with all his money any day now despite investing millions in a stadium redevelopment. There is no way that they would allow their club to be taken over by a 'Sugardaddy'....you won't ever find Gasheads getting all excited about the possibility of a foreign investor (who could shaft them if it all goes wrong) trying to buy them success....never! ....oh, hang on a minute, forget that.

Here he is, the needy Saghead who pretended to be a Pompey fan. At least Miah and In The Net had the balls to stick around and post whilst you were in Non League....you don't even like to admit who you support when you're doing well.

Gutted we couldn't hold on, would've been happy with a 2-2 draw before the match though. Fantastic support again today, just brilliant. Well done everyone.

....but they have been in the same position as we were last season, the year they bottled it and gradually fell from the automatic promotion places and out of the Play Offs on the final day of the season. They weren't taking thousands away on average that season so what's changed? Answer: nothing...typical dopey Gashead making stupid predictions based on no facts whatsoever. That only proves how shit their home support is.

Phil, I can't quote your post if you don't quote mine correctly. To us it's a derby match, it's our biggest derby match I would say especially after the rather drab affair we had in Cardiff a couple of months ago...I'll give you that. However to us it represents a failure on our part, whilst to you it seems to be the pinnacle of your ambitions. "this time next year" etc.

I think it's safe to assume, judging by the levels of almost sexual excitement shown by your fellow Sagheads recently, that we are clearly your 'Cup Final'. Creepy bastards...no offence.

So you're not a Pompey fan now you've been found out then? Off you go bellend.
