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.

“renowned name in football”

…and that’s totally fair enough. I may have some sympathy with individual Gasheads who aren’t constantly revelling in our financial problems in the past, but I can’t fake sympathy for the bastards who openly and often say they wish our club had died. Well, they seemed quite happy when those outsiders arrived, some more “unlucky tha shit” nonsense. But like I say…no evidence whatsoever that they are about to cease to exist. Im certainly not going to believe anything that comes from their cretinous, paranoid fans.

Yes, fair enough, I see the point you were making now.

That’s fine, I already knew the answer.

Ok, we’re aware of all this. Would Gasheads have been any different under the circumstances?

Fair enough, your opinion, but… 1) I very much doubt that is what’s actually happening, let’s not elevate this into a more serious issue on the back of rumours on a football forum. 2) They gleefully rub 1982 in our faces at every opportunity. IF they were to ever find themselves in the shit financially or due to dodgy owners I’ll show them exactly the same amount of sympathy that they would show us if the boot was on the other foot.

Having also lived near the Mem I agree, it was great to see other City fans on Gainsborough Square waiting for the bus to the Gate and I never saw too many Gas shirts around. When I said ‘local’ though I meant Bristol in general, ie they didn’t have to drive up the Motorway or worry about the last train south being cancelled due to weather related issues.

Give credit to the Exeter fans, absolutely…but most of the Gas live local. I’ll wait until officially announced before laughing but if that’s the true figures it’s pathetic from a club who bang on and on about their supposedly huge, loyal fanbase. Its ok though, I’m sure Oxford will fill their new stand for them.

I think it was 25,500 for WHU, it’ll be similar for Forest. Football attendances are affected by segregation so even against Man Utd and Man City we didn’t have 27k…but all tickets were sold out…you can’t sell more than the number allowed. So yes, we can ‘fill’ Ashton Gate.

It’s not correct….2 sell outs in 11 days with 23k+ for Watford in between (no excuses from our fans about lots of home games in the same month). We seem to sell out our decent sized stadium more often than they sell out their crappy little ground.

Ok, I’ll do it… Sold out Ashton Gate twice in 11 days with a 23k+ crowd in the middle. Its like Sagheads enjoy looking stupid.

They’re talking about giving Oxford more blocks on Saturday just so they can fill the stand….the stand THEY said they needed to accommodate THEIR ‘huge’ fanbase The gift.

Incredible No wonder their new owners don’t want to spend money on a proper stadium if they’re having to slash prices just to fill 75% of their brand new stand. By this time tomorrow night Wally might have to walk up Filton Ave knocking on doors asking for volunteers. Potential new excuse as well, they’ve used rain before but now… Edit: DOUBLE new excuse klaxon! 1) Windy 2) There are other home games coming up.

So let me get this straight…. They’ve now got the higher capacity that their fans have been saying they’ve needed desperately for years to accommodate their ‘massive’ ‘loyal’ support and their attendance has gone DOWN? Idiots.

He got a shitload of criticism from all angles, which isn’t surprising considering he posted the picture of himself wearing a Rovers top holding a Rovers flag next to the Auschwitz sign on Twitter with the caption “Auschwitz Gas”. This however appears to be a different person. I don’t know what goes through some peoples heads to be honest?

Yeah they could. Dont forget they were in the same division a few years ago, which meant they were visited by the needy bastards who no doubt spent hours before the game telling them how evil us ‘teds’ are (use of the term ‘teds’ being the giveaway). Its utterly pathetic but it’s what they do.

How much did losing their bottle cost them last night then? Obviously not just the chance to flood social media with claims that taking 9k away is just ‘what they do’ but financially….a televised match at Anfield must have been worth a few quid?

This seemed to start when they got relegated to non league. Suddenly us and them playing at home (or even if they were playing the Pied Horse or some other Bristol pub away) it didn’t matter. Police just thought “ahh it’ll be ok, concentrate most of our resources on the proper club and send a couple of bobbies to the Netham to look after the Gas”.

So anyway
