That can’t be real surely 

That was my reaction when I first saw Santas Grotto - With the fewers, nothing is too tinpot it turns out!

I'm disappointed, earlier posts had led us to believe that City gave Rovers a right good stuffing, I wanted to be able to go out bragging about how we are much harder than they are, but it would appear that all that happened was some people threw some stuff and nobody beat anybody.

Just hearing 30 gas just gone done by 15 City . 

I do hope this is true, I can feel myself glowing with pride already.

The honour of my Football Club has been upheld, a proud day that will go down in history.

Sinclair (Tramp)

Ellis (One of our Own)

Nichols (Fraud)

Broom (U21 lad)

4, quite surprised I managed that many to be honest!

Never heard of the last two. There might be a Lines from memory?

edit - I guess Nichols is the striker they paid about 0.75 Tilsons for that never scored or something?

Was it Daley Thompson who quoted it in a live TV interview as well once?

Un ******* believable

There's even some nobheads saying that they've been supporting the club for 50 years and more. Why the **** would you bother supporting something so long that has given you so much continued disappointment.

To be fair, City have been pretty good at that too over the years....

Have we really only had a highest third tier average of 12000 odd ?

Only if you ignore when the third tier was split into Division 3 South and North, when we regularly averaged over 20,000.

The sixties and seventies, a time of bigger crowds generally we were above that level so wouldn't have got anything then, and by the eighties when we dropped back down crowds were lower for everyone.

The last game Clik sponsored we got Bristol Red Glass for everyone on table and a big goblet for company. I’ll find a pic.. 

I still have a red glass globe thing from when the the old Citylist sponsored a game a few years back as well

A full 1000 Tilsons isn't it? A megaTilson.

Isn't that a kiloTilson?

Remember to do your bidding in the new football currency of the 'Tilson', an alternative to the 'bitcoin' but nowhere near as valuable!

I believe Bodin would come in at around 0.8 Tilsons

Oh dear god!!

'In the longer term, I've thought before that QPR are a model of exactly what I would like us and our stadium to become. Not because of our ties with Francis and Holloway, but because they are what they are, despite the big competition on their doorstep.  A solid Championship side with the occasional foray into the Prem, with the odd slip-up into L1.  A compact 18,000 seater stadium surrounded by housing which generates a great atmosphere.  No need to worry about Arsenal, Chelsea etc.  It's a fan-based club and a different thing altogether from those massive football corporations'

Does that include the financial overspend / cheating, the worst ground in the Championship and the £60M fine hanging over the club, for cheating then?

These fookers are more ignorant /stupid than even I thought and I perceive them as just above an amoeba (with all respect to amoebas)! 

I'd agree with most of what you say SJ, but I actually quite like Loftus Road. There are a lot of restricted views seats agreed, but I like the way everything is packed in so tight and is a ground with character, capable of creating a really hostile atmosphere.

Gillingham is a small town in Dorset for any of the few who are travelling

Unless this is a pisstake, I presume you've never been to Gillingham away?

Fully prepared for a whoosh though

Do we know any other of their players?

Only 63 posts to get it to 30,000 as well.

Coincidentally, the same number as there were g*s fans locked out at Wembley.

I think you're missing a zero somewhere.....

14 posts to go still.....

I see Henbury plum is at it again. 

Some joker posted on facebook that they would sell their City v Man Utd ticket for £1,000,000 (that's ONE MILLION POUNDS) and numbnuts started a thread criticising City fans saying they would never do that as they're 'faithful and true' (unless they're playing sh1t when they don't bother). He fell for a blatant wind up! Thick prat.

Is the guy ill or just very, very stupid to be that gullible? I understand delusion but this is off the scale IMHO. Pillock! 

That thread is hilarious from start to finish, with somebody misreading a million for a grand down to our old chum Weezord mis-spelling delete and getting corrected.

a better comparison and fairer one would be port vale and stoke

I was thinking the other day, would it be fair to make a rough comparison to Liverpool and Everton but transpose it down a couple of divisions?

If I recall correctly Everton had a brief period of almost dominance in the eighties after trailing considerably during the seventies and are now on the brink of disaster.....

Bizarrely, no game! After getting knocked out of the F.A.Cup in the 1st round (again) the lunatics who run the asylum over there decided to move tonights fixture at home to Rotherham to Saturday 2nd December.

I know a Rotherham fan who is reet pissed off with them for moving this one. She had a ticket for tonight and can't make the rematch.

Can someone please enlighten me to what the 'FTG' means, in their language. 

I am slightly aware of what it might represent in City talk?

I think it's the spellchecker on here, changes   U - T - G to  FTG

What Ohh Yes thread? @Monkeh

The thread they had of a similar length to this one when they thought we were getting relegated one season. It disappeared when we stayed up

When it comes to the women's team, Al Qadi had a clarification to make about their local rivals, saying: "Bristol City didn't invest in women football, they stole our team. Their women's team was Rovers'. The former owner decided to stop funding the women's team. Our job is to recapture it."

 

 

 

wow, no one owns them, they are a club in their own right are they not?

I believe they were Bristol Academy after dropping the rovers name and before joining Bristol Sport weren't they?

Yes, I may be starting to crack up.

But this bloke is strutting around the World having is picture taken  and basking in the glory of telling people he is the owner of Bristol Rovers (see photo at Boston University) but in reality our club consists of a collection of old tents and a load of debt.  Someone should follow him dressed up like Screaming Lord Sutch used to at elections and blow raspberries at him behind his back.   

I'll get my multicoloured coat and top hat  

"basking in the glory of telling people he is the owner of Bristol Rovers" ? What possible glory is there to bask in from being associated with that bag of crap?

I would wager that he doesn't mention it out of embarrassment, that and the fact that Boston University would have just pulled a puzzled face and asked "Who?"

I wonder now how the gas manager feels about turning down the Leeds job when he did?

Are you sure? Always find it a bit odd that one of the most frequently sung songs is 'Stand up if you hate the Gas'. Then there's this thread and it's massive predecessor. Obsessive, you could say...

There is nothing wrong with singing about local sides that see themselves as rivals, nothing wrong with talking about them.

As SJ said, the problem comes when you judge your own clubs success on how you have performed in comparison to them.

We no longer do this, nobody saw last season as a success because we finished higher than the fewers.

we are now looking upwards and focussing on that, they are watching our rear ends disappear into the distance and desperately trying to keep up.
