They really don’t help themselves do they? From the top of that club to the dregs they all come out with the same shit, it’s like a disease they all suffer from. ...but apparently we’re the deluded ones

Seriously though, only the Gas could claim that taking 1400 fans one and a half hours up the road as travelling ‘on mass’ (?) ? Obviously one of the many Championship clubs who aren’t actually envious of their ‘bonkers’ away support is us as we clearly travel in larger numbers. Think that’s worth pointing out again.

Hahahahaha, inside their own peanut brains they probably thought the rest of the footballing world had sympathy with them. The reality is completely different but you try telling that to those poor little ‘victims’.

“At the moment the only thing we win is we have better fans” So...only 7k Gasheads show up for the first home game of the season and they take 700 fewer than us to St Andrews for a Saturday league game....but they think they have better fans? ? Deserting their club after only a couple of games of the season, not for the first time either. Deluded idiots.

No chance of that I’m afraid. Quite a few gullible City fans on here who obviously hang around with Sagheads in the pub on a Saturday night and totally believe their bullshit about away support. Doesn’t matter how many facts and examples you show them. St Andrews isn’t even a ‘new’ ground for most of our supporters, we go there every year. That 1450 yesterday for the Gas included their day trippers who only bother with the bigger stadiums ?

The new Dopey Darrell

Probably will be. Their away support is shit. Gotta be honest I thought they’d make more of an effort for this but it seems even the day trippers who only go to the big away grounds are deserting them now. Plenty of them are serious as well. What happened to the so called ‘super fans’ who NEVER get on their managers back? Hypocrites Yet they will still claim to travel everywhere in greater numbers than us. This just proves to them and some of our more gullible fans what a load of bullshit that claim is. Imagine how few they would’ve taken if they visited St Andrews every year like we do?

Yes I heard that as well. I can’t think who else he’d be referring to if not the Sags? Personally I think they should do one.

They’re so ******* needy

Sorry to hear this about your friend Miah.

To be fair he’s apologised for it. I’m sure most of us have said or written something in the past without thinking about it first.

Hahaha, their fanbase are proper hardcore aren’t they? ? Bike races, European football on TV and now this. I can imagine loads of them shuffling back along Filton Ave once they found out that they could no longer walk straight up to the turnstile and empty the shrapnel out of their piss stinking pockets on to the counter. Shit excuse for such a poor attendance. I think the real reason is that their fans aren’t as great or as loyal as they think they are....

Oh you will. Saturday afternoon trip to St Andrews for the first time since 1994...I’d bet my mortgage that the away following will be way over 2k. After the game quite a few of your fellow Sags will be all over social media proclaiming that the Gas have the best away support in the land... Lies like “we take more than THE SHIT everywhere we go...” and my favourite...”our away support is really speshul, we take 40% of our home support to away games, no one can match that” ....whilst ignoring that the whole ‘away support to home support’ ratio thing only shows how poor the home support is.

The only figures that matter are the end of season average for the whole campaign. To the best of my knowledge they haven’t bettered our away support figures this century and certainly not since 2012. There is no challenge, Gasheads saying they have better away support than us are talking bollocks and the statistics prove this. They will take over 2000 next week but then they’ve only visited St Andrew’s twice in the last 25 years. Like their trips in the cup to places like Molineux the novelty factor will bump up there attendance for this game. Then it’ll be back to the usual 400-500 for the trips to grounds they visit every season.

That new 20k stadium can’t come quick enough ? Seriously though, first home game of the season...that is ******* abysmal.

As I say I’m not an expert but wasn’t the original arena scheme binned because the Council effectively decided they didn’t want to pay for it? (That may not have been the official line of course but that’s what was suggested) This stadium, ‘the Fruit Bowl’ or whatever cringy name they’ll call it, will be funded by outside investment. The Council would love that surely? Im not sure what third party objectors there could be around there? Like I say I think the whole area is up for regeneration.

I’m no expert but it looks like a huge amount has gone on behind the scenes over the last year and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this all go through. I believe the whole area is due for serious redevelopment over the next 10 years. Getting planning for a stadium now should be a walk in the park compared to other areas of the city where people already live. The fact it’s close to Temple Meads must also give it some viability. The Council are obviously on board and IF the Gas have found a few individuals with plenty of cash there’s no reason for this to fail. However, they will never have what we have no matter how much they pretend otherwise. For a club whose fans bang on and on about ‘soul’, ‘character’ and (most of all) ‘history’ their new stadium will have none of that. Yes it will be 100 times better than the Mem but it won’t be like Ashton Gate is to us and our football club. A stadium with soul, character and over a Century of history.

MK Dons are referred to as ‘the franchise’. The reason for this is because they were moved from one City to a different City for financial purposes. Very much like American Football teams hence the ‘franchise’ nickname. Rovers fans appear to label us a franchise because our owner also finances other sporting clubs. I don’t know if the Glazers still own them but are Man Utd also a ‘franchise’? In the bizarre World of a Sag we are a franchise but MK Dons aren’t. Rovers have themselves moved out of Bristol in the past and recently tried to move out of Bristol again. In sporting terms Rovers are more of a franchise than we have ever been.

Panicking? hahahahaha idiots ?

Mansfield should help them out really. A thank you for that time they forgot their away kit.

Ahh that’ll be the football club that wore the ‘unique quarterz” a decade before the Gas did...

Was that the REAL reason?

Same here

‘Pathological’ mate ?

I’ve now got the music from the Blue Oyster Bar stuck in my head ?
