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.

Standard for Sagheads. Tell them the facts and they press the block button rather than argue. Pussy’s. The truth obviously hurts.

Bit longer than that, it was about an hour I believe. You couldn’t post it on here by any chance could you? They were saying they were going to swap divisions with us as late as March that season. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ******* clowns!! That made it even better...along with the way they’d celebrated our relegation to League 1 only 12 months earlier. Bottlers.

I'm afraid you've overlooked something quite important Wood Red....you see, despite all the stuff they were coming out with on Social Media when the ALQs took over about how rich they are, buying whoever they want, Prem in 5 years and laughing at our Bristolian owner who is only worth a poxy £2Billion, it's turns out that they didn't want Wally to spend shed loads of cash on them anyway. Only 'plastic' clubs like 'da shit' (and practically every other club in the top two divisions) spend money on transfers, wages and Stadiums. They want to do it properly, whatever TF that means? Funnily enough they came to that decision around about the time it became obvious that they're probably not even the 6th richest club in the South West, let alone the entire country. Fortunate timing wasn't it? UWE Stadium? "Naahh, didn't want it" One of them on that 'tent' thread is proud to be "crap". They deserve to sit in tents whilst people laugh at them.

I can remember more Wycombe players in their side than I can name from Rovers current squad... I can remember 5 of those Wycombe players. Current Gas team 2017/18 1) the Fisherman/Tramp 2) the City fan That’s yer lot!

What a dumb thing to do, just begging to have it thrown back in their face at a later date......bit like celebrating staying up and making grand predictions for the following season before hilariously falling out of the entire League a week later.

So, on a Matchday the Mem looks like a large gathering of Boy Scouts and Paedos according to that Gashead? Interesting way to describe your fellow fans

We've only had 2 seasons in L1 in the last 12 years. 13/14 we averaged 11900 despite spending most of the season in or around the bottom 4 scraping draws at home with teams like Shrewsbury, Colchester and Leyton Orient. Do you remember that season? 14/15 AG was undergoing major redevelopment work that limited the capacity. We averaged 12000 in a season which saw many games sold out to home fans. I know it doesn't fit your 'script' but Rovers have failed to average over 10k for the last 4 decades. Our crowds may not be great at times but they're always better than the Gas, no matter what they or you think.

So what was our capacity that season? Lets not pretend that the redevelopment works weren’t happening. Did you visit Ashton Gate that season? If you did, surely you noticed how many times we had sold the full allocation of home tickets? The following season we had, statistically, the most full stadium on average in the league despite spending over half the season in the bottom 3. Rovers had a decent season (flirting with the Play Offs at one point) with a manager, owners and players they say they’re happy with and they’ve failed to get over 9k home fans in all but 3 games. For a club whose fans claim to be something special whilst constantly slagging off our support that’s pathetic.

Last home game of the season for them and they finally managed to have over 9000 Sags in attendance. Think the last time they managed that was for the first home game of the season back in August. Their support really is the envy of so many other clubs in the Football League, there’s no doubt about it!
