If you’re counting nipples.

The great thing is, this time last week they looked at Fleetwood and Burton coming up and thought “6 easy points”. Arrogant bastards. Now they want Monotone Matt out.

As they are only too happy to point out when it comes to us, those figures are tickets sold. The number who actually bothered to show up will be lower…much lower knowing them. Thank God they built that new stand that they assured us they needed…

Why shouldn’t we remember and celebrate the Ashton Gate 8 and others who helped save the club? Touchy bunch aren’t they… “5th tier” The Man City fan said it best.

I’ve run out of reactions but…well said.

Our first season in Div 4 is the only season in the last 56 years where they’ve had higher average crowds. The following season with us still in Div 4 and them in Div 3 we averaged higher crowds than them What they consistently fail to mention whenever they talk about our poor crowds in the early 80s is that their attendances were either just as bad, or worse than ours.

Ok, so Ive figured it out. Their highest lowest gate is irrelevant because we’ve had a season with a higher lowest gate which beats all of their highest lowest gates including the highest lowest gate from 70 years ago. Their lowest highest gate is lower than ours as is their lowest lowest gate. Our highest highest gate is higher than theirs. Hope this helps.

I had some Gas idiot trying to convince me last season that they knew “for a fact” that despite official attendances of 20k+ we rarely had over 11/12k in the ground. Couldn’t back it up of course, absolute bullshitters.

Yes, this will be a new way to gauge support in 2024. Social Media will be flooded with videos about this. No more will clubs be ranked on average attendances, league positions, honours or stadium capacity…no! From now on every club will be ranked by their highest lowest attendances but NOT their lowest highest attendances. Use figures from 7 decades ago because that’ll be relevant. Maybe use a percentage of something in relation to something else. #Gasmath

If they’re going to start comparing attendance stats then the ones that really matter is that Rovers have only had a higher average attendance than us once in 56 years and they haven’t averaged over 10k since the mid 70s. For a club who claim to have such massive, loyal support they certainly seem confused about the location of the ground on match day.

I’ve read this about ten times and still don’t understand what the **** they are talking about? Can somebody explain please.

About 1900 I believe.

It’s the confidence bit I worry about, we don’t want to face those teams around us after demoralising defeats against the likes of Boro and Saints. Now I’m not saying that’s definitely going to happen just that it’s tough on the players with Forest away and a few injuries.

How have we got from the Watford away performance to this thread in just over a month? Call it wetting the bed if you want but yes, on current form we can absolutely get dragged into a relegation battle and what happens in the next 4 or 5 games will go some way to seeing if that will happen. Think Weds and Rotherham are in real trouble but could’ve done without QPR winning yesterday.

Bet they insisted on the TV being turned over to Babestation at half time so they could have a quick tommy tank.

It’s not embarrassing. If all available tickets are sold that’s a sell out.

True. The problem isn’t with the people who find themselves in that position, the problem is with people who know full well that the ST they buy cheap is rarely, if ever, going to be used even on a Saturday.

It’s because the club themselves know just how mentally fragile their own fans are. They know that JM spent several years at City but if they don’t say it out loud then ‘it never happened’. We thought getting Jack Hunt to delete City pictures on Instagram was a joke. In reality it was so Gasheads wouldn’t shit their pants in rage every time he touched the ball. God help him if they ever find out that he didn’t actually delete them.

Fair enough, may have already been added. If so that would be excellent support from us IF we are taking 2k+ up to Nottingham on a Wednesday night.

575 left according to the site. I agree it sounds strange but I thought it was to avoid the club having to pay for all those tickets if they go unsold. I don’t know? Either way I still think 1500 sold so far is pretty decent.

800 were kept back to be put on sale if the first batch of 2100 sold out, that’s my understanding anyway.

It was 2100 initial allocation so we’ve sold 1500. Not terrible for a Wednesday night at a ground we’ve visited a dozen times in the last 20 years.

They’re definitely referring to Forest when they say “plucky away side” and the City ground when they say “crumbling old ground” especially on a thread about Forest. Its the sort of thing we say about the Gas when they draw away in the cup to someone like Barnet

If you read Bazooka Joes post again he’s joking that the club are selling actual children for £1 and an adult for £10.

Exactly my thoughts. Every time you think “they’ve done everything now, surely there’s nothing else ridiculous they can do?…” and then BANG!….another gift out of the blue (literally). You couldn’t make it up For all slagheads and Gas sympathisers on here THIS IS WHY THIS THREAD EXISTS.
