One of them reckons Matty will get shit from us for going on this holiday. Eh??Don’t know why ‘Newmarketgas’ or the OP on that thread sound so smug? The fact they get on so well just shows that, unlike the fans, Rovers players don’t care that he ditched them for us....to be fair the rest of them would do the same if they could

No it didn’t. Read it again. I said I didn’t believe the Henbury Gas spiced up version which involved teeth getting knocked out and everyone turning a blind eye. Considering he confided in Henbury Gas who immediately blabbed about it on an open forum (adding some extras for point scoring purposes) you might want to advise your friend that some people can’t be trusted.

Scared of something that actually happened or scared of what Henbury Gas claimed would happen if he, a vulnerable man, kept visiting AG on his own after the loss of his father? You have to remember that according to Gasheads we spend the entire match spitting at each other and starting fights, not like those loveable Sags who are well know for being the most welcoming, friendly fans on the Planet. It all becomes clear...

HG’s version of events was that the victim got into a disagreement with someone over a seat. If he’d left it at that I’d have believed it. Some people have disabilities that are not obvious just by looking at them however any confrontation can be very distressing. This could easily have happened. Henbury Gas then went on to claim that this guy you know was “duffed up” (his words) and had teeth knocked out, no one stepped in to help him and no one from the thousands of people in the area reported it to the stewards, club or Police. Apparently we all just stood by and let him get his head kicked in. As a result of the incident your mate (who’s “not all there” according to Henbury Gas) refused to leave the house. If you didn’t know what Henbury Gas was saying, why did you claim it wasn’t bullshit?

To be fair, I think it’s only the few dozen regular contributors to this thread plus the five or six members of Slagchat who actually know anything about this story. No doubt it would be different if HG was telling his exaggerated stories in the Sun or on their favourite program, Points West. The club have confirmed no reports of a serious assault at the match in question, same with the Police and nothing on CCTV. That’s all anyone needs to know. Sad Sags trying to score points by making things up.

I said at the time on this thread (feel free to go back and check) that I could believe a disagreement over seats took place. It happens at every ground. There’s been plenty of stories on Slagchat about Gasheads being nobs towards other Gasheads at matches over ridiculous things so they aren’t any better. What I don’t believe is that this bloke had teeth knocked out in front of 20k witnesses and everyone turned a blind eye. I think that bit was spiced up to make our fans look particularly bad for the benefit of the gullible ******* morons on their forum. Another lie for them to spread. That’s what I object to. Henbury Gas even changed his story about the incident before the thread was deleted. So what happened then, you’re saying it isn’t bullshit so he did have his teeth knocked out did he? Also, if this guy is well known, petrified of confrontation and doesn’t want to make a scene, don’t you think Henbury Gas is a bit of a bastard for posting the story on a public forum for what was obviously point scoring purposes? I’d have thought it would’ve been easier for him or anyone else who knows the victim to make an anonymous phonecall to the club suggesting they check their cctv. There’s no way I’d want to let someone get away with knocking out a mates teeth, especially if the friend is vulnerable, refusing to leave his house (as claimed by HG) and grieving the loss of his father at the time. You didn’t think about doing that then?

Something like that, absolutely hilarious. I don't know what was worse, that gaff or the fact the kid ended up watching their Sunday League cloggers whilst stood on a pile of programmes surrounded by trash and bird shit. Speaking of which....

This is a level of 'tinpot' that clubs in the Conference South would be embarrassed about. Another one accuses US of being an "absolute joke of a club" Deluded clown.

Which pub are they going to sponsored by this season?

Think they’re trying to make it up to them after the article the other day that upset many Sags by claiming that the average Gashead is over 55, likes Mrs Doubtfire, racist abuse, touching women who don’t want to be touched and Points West.

6th richest club in Bristol.

Yet another Saghead admitting that most of their fanbase are a bunch of part time plastics who won’t go and support their own team unless they’re playing a big club with a nice comfy seat to sit in. They love to make they’re something special then they come out with that excuse. What happened to “if they play in the street, we’ll watch from the pavements” rubbish they were spouting after the UWE Stadium fell through? Full of shit.

One or two of them are sceptical. Anyone with half a brain can see how dodgy the story is. Disabled man, beaten up in front of 20k potential witnesses, no one intervened, no reports to the club or Police, no CCTV evidence. Shaken disabled man grieving for the loss of his father can’t leave the house because of the trauma of the attack, however somehow finds himself in CJ Computing on Westbury Hill. Henbury Gas converts this lifelong City fan with a chat and a hug, next thing you know he’s a season ticket holder in one of their tents. The club (Rovers) apparently know about the situation but refuse to take advantage of the fantastic publicity that the story would provide their club. No leak to the Evening Post, no quiet word in Geoff Twentymans ear. The only person who knows anything is Henbury Gas, a man who has a track record of making things up on the Internet. Hmm.

According to that ******* dimwit Oldgas we don’t like to talk about this ‘incident’ Haha, idiot...we’ve mentioned this bullshit loads of times on here over the last year. The last time I saw it mentioned on Slagchat was when Henbury Gas was begging the mods to delete the thread he’d started, which they did, presumably out of embarrassment as well as trying to help dig him out of the hole he’d found himself in. Imagine feeling so inferior to your local rivals you resort to making up ludicrous stories about them to try to make yourself feel better. Pathetic. Ugh, dirty bastards. Add that to the regular racist behaviour at the Mem plus ‘Boob Cricket’ and you see they really have no right to try and take the moral high ground.

Not aiming this at Miah but it became very clear when the Al Qadi’s took over that most Gasheads would happily swap their ‘real’ down to Earth football club for a modern, ‘plastic’ version in a heartbeat. 6th richest club in the country Waving fivers at opposition fans New, soulless, out of town bowl on the horizon (so they hoped). They let everyone see their true colours when they thought Wally was loaded. Deep down they’re more ‘plastic’ than we could ever be Gotta laugh them....

I think Matty Taylor wasn’t quite so sure mate.

Yeah, of course they say that . I’m sure the likes of Ipswich, Leeds, Derby, Wolves, Forest, Boro, Cardiff, Villa, QPR, Hull etc regularly praise the atmosphere at a ground like the Mem that none of them have visited for absolute donkeys years. For balance, I’ve read many posts on social media from fans who’ve actually visited the Mem and described the atmosphere as shite. What do you think about that? In the past Alan Curbishly described AG as the most intimidating ground he’d ever visited and Graham Poll claimed it was louder than the Nou Camp. Warnock has mentioned the atmosphere inside a hostile Ashton Gate as have others. If those comments have become fewer in the last couple of years I would suggest that you could say that about pretty much every modern, all seater stadium. They’re not designed to be a ‘hard place to go’ unfortunately.

This is the thing. EVERY club has the odd idiot. I’m not saying spitting has never happened but once in a while it happens everywhere....including their shithole. I find it comical that they paint this picture that everyone who visits AG walks out covered in gob. It’s a load of bullshit Anything to make themselves feel better I suppose. Pathetic.

If you listen to those ******* lying morons you’d think we spend the entire 90 minutes spitting at players, managers and ourselves.. I’ve been going to Ashton Gate since the late 80s and I can honestly say I have never seen anyone gobbing at anyone. Whilst we’re at it I’ve never seen disabled City fans have their heads kicked in for sitting in the wrong seat either. I wonder why they feel the need to lie?....

Maybe he did. .....but we’ve NEVER claimed to be the 6th wealthiest club in the Football League.

Haha, like that would ever happen! No, they’d rather sit around and come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories about Lansdown doing it to stop them getting promoted...as if it’s somehow embarrassing to us if some two bit, tinpot outfit gets lucky and finds themselves in the Championship for a season. For ***** sake, we were bottom of L1 not that long ago below the likes of Colchester, Stevenage and Orient.. They can’t accept that in our position last January a L1 striker with 20 goals under his belt and a VERY low pricetag is something that would naturally appeal to us. They didn’t have anything in place because they’re run like a circus. They probably hoped that Dopey would had put everyone off with his talk of only accepting £10 million. Always the victims though, they should ask why their billionaire owners don’t pay higher wages?

No, because it never happened. As per usual they just make stuff up as they go along like a bunch of attention seeking children. They do have form when it comes to lying through their teeth as we all know.

Is it £16k now? They started off claiming it was £12k a week, then £13k, up to £15k...keeps going up. None of them have a clue what he’s earning. I think it’s just what they tell themselves to help them sleep at night. It must be pretty upsetting to know that your best player couldn’t wait to get out of ‘da famous quarterz’ and come and join a proper football club. Glad to see most of them on there are still crying about it, clearly haven’t got over it Its also funny how they’re discussing whether he’d be welcome back. Obviously they’re overlooking the fact that after Taylor joined us their childish management made us promise that no players would swap Bristol clubs ever again in what was a clearly a stunt to try and stop them all shitting their pants in rage.

Yeah, it's up there amongst 'my favourite things that have ever happened' as well. Sorry Sagheads, you can say you're happy you were relegated to Non League as much as you want but it won't stop us laughing at you and it won't stop us reminding you how humiliating it was....especially after the shit they were all coming out with after beating Wycombe the week before

Yeah, they really looked like they were celebrating on May 3rd 2014. It might have made them take a step back and re-evaluate things (like any club after a relegation) but that doesn’t stop it being massively embarrassing for them and very entertaining for us. They’re no further forward now than they were under Higgs in 2007 even with new (supposedly wealthy) owners who, lets face it, appear to have done very little. Not sure what ‘Mancgas’ is trying to say in his response as he’s either thick or does not have English as his first language? As I’ve mentioned before about the the whole ‘franchise’ thing...only one Bristol club has left Bristol in the past to play in a different City and only one Bristol club has recently made plans to leave Bristol again. Franchise Gas.
