Was working with a couple of reasonable sags today who are well capable of a decent and balanced discussion about the Bristol clubs...they don’t know each other but both had heard separate rumours about the gas possibly sharing a new stadium with Bath RFC near Saltford...don’t really care but thought I’d mention it as it fits in with part of your thinking...

Perhaps they both heard it down the Cat & Wheel from some fella called Rob, from Bristol?

One day son, all this will be yours!

What, the curtains?

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I understand the Yanks have offered Wally £5m for da roverz. Wally is holding out and wants £10m. 

Heard a rumour that former Rovers director, the housebuilder Ed Ware proposes to buy a majority share in the club from Al Qadi, with a view to developing the Mem for housing to fund a new stadium elsewhere.

No idea where that 'elsewhere' might be or how the numbers would stack up, but it's certainly a prime residential development site. Could be connected to the above rumour or could be rubbish, who knows?

There was a time when the gas were in the same league as us but it’s difficult for me to remember when. It seems so long ago............

Ooh! Ooh! I think I know this one! 

Is it Seventeen Years? We know a song about that, don't we boys and girls? 

3-0 HT.

Exeter fans serenading the Rovers with "Bristol City, they're better than you!"

Oh dear, looks like this dick head has been triggered again by OTIB  

Good, that’s why this thread is so fun.

Hi Oldslag quite happy to copy your post on here. I couldn’t give a shit who is better supported than us, you’re the ones that bang on about crowds, waving your tiny nobs around and slagging off clubs like Shrewsbury in a pathetic attempt to make yourselves feel big. We deal in facts on here which can make for uncomfortable reading if you’re a Saghead, especially when it proves you aren’t as great as you think you are...far from it in fact. 

Come back anytime asshole, thanks for reading. 

 

 

Well he's a rather angry fellow isn't he? And not really making a great deal of sense.

Anyway, I understood the Park Street shenanigans were started by Rovers. Perhaps he was one of them?

Look at all our more recent average gates in league one,mostly they are 11-12k  but hey it dosnt fit the script so lets pretend it wasnt what it actually was.

You're not very bright are you? Perhaps you've never been to Ashton Gate?

We'll gas all the dole queues and clear up the mess, get rid of the Reds AND the DHSS! Good night!

If the Sags didn’t know already.....It’s all gonna take time and a bit more time.....jokers. George got it right though....”It’s gonna take money, a whole lotta spending money, it’s gonna take plenty of money”....eh Hani?

So, any idea on timescale?

If it is £15m against the Mem that looks absurd given Sainsbury's pulled out of their proposed £12m purchase because it was no longer affordable - not sure who could value that land with an extra 25% on top. 

Sainsbury had agreed to pay around £30m for the land as far as I recall. Far more than its true value probably, but £15m might well be a fair price for a prime residential plot in that location. 

Wrong thread! 

When TC and the lads emerged in Chester's directors' box to salute the thousands of us on the pitch, that was without doubt my most emotional moment at football. Crazy scenes, I'll never forget. Corner turned, future bright.

I think the only places I would still consider sag only are Horfield and Eastville. The rest is so City dominated its scary.

I'm Horfield and definitely red 

Loads of us reds in Horfield. I know one of my near neighbours is a fellow City season ticket holder, yet I'm not aware of any that go to Rovers.

@havanatopia Bristol North End?

Confusing us with the famous Patchway North End perhaps? Easily done. 

Quality. Love you Del x

We took 1,311 there last season but don't tell them, they might get upset.

You can't just bandy around factual statistics like that on the internet. They are the best fans in the world, yet you're making them look small time, amateur and tinpot. I assume there's been some misunderstanding. 

Oh no, you're right as it turns out. 

I had a dream that I was weightless. I was like "0mg!"

Joining the blue few. 

Actually he joined them twice. Huge moment of clarity though when he soon realised he was better off having a radio career with the BBC than being assistant manager to Holloway. Er, no shit! 

I do like GT though, top fella, despite his patchy past.

I was on there and behaved perfectly civilised and am now banned and don’t have a clue why

It's clear you're into great music and you follow a highly fashionable football team. Probably very well dressed as well.

These people buy their clothes (and their cds) from George at Asda. How do you think that makes them feel? Inferior. 

I'd ban you as well, ya flash Shithead  ****! 

This evening will be my fifth visit to Craven Cottage, the first was in about 1986. 

City have won on all four of my previous trips. A happy hunting ground for City and me, here's to our 'joint' run continuing

Did they take a hundred million fans to Wolves in the end then, or not?

Probably. No statistics have been published though, because no one in the world gives a flying ****.

1. I watched on BCTV and, for once, saw most of the game.  I have to say that I thought BC were brilliant - some of the best football I have ever seen in watching BC for nearly fifty years.  I am talking about skill which, for so long, was pushed aside by effort.  Today, skill was king.  Long live skill!

Totally agree with your first point Bill, City were simply outstanding today. I doubt many Championship sides could have lived with us on that performance, second half especially. 

Now, what were the other points you wanted to make?

Be fair, A lot of their fans were probably doing a scouting mission on Man Utd's televised game, ready for when they play them in 2-3 years time. 

And the Tour of Denmark started today as well. Surely going to take a couple of thousand off the gate. Isn't it?
