    Because they have massive potential and have a massive faithful, loyal and true fan base that puts the Shit to shame.

    They took 45,000 to Wembley (apparently) and they have a long history, stretching right back to 1883 unlike the Shit who were only formed in 1982 after shafting their own players and local businesses, vile club.

    Rovers also have an away following envied all over the country. 

    If you say you are from Bristol and people ask who you support if you say that you are a shithead you will be spat on and punched in the face, but say that you are a Rovers fan and they will hug you like a long lost brother. Rovers are loved that much.

    Rovers are also a family club, unlike the Shit with their nasty fans who have subjected nice Rovers fans to disgusting abuse and violence, and Rovers have done nothing bad at all. Everyone loves Rovers.

    Rovers deserve to be given a ground, loads of cash and an easy passage into the Championship where they belong.

    FTG.

     Just listened to the whole hour, is it me or doesHamer really not have a clue what is going on, also thought it was telling when asked if there was any enthusiasm for the mem and leper colony revamp he only mentioned himself,wally and dopey not Hani or old man Wacky. I would be very concerned if I worn the quarterz. 

    If I had I wouldn't be concerned, I would have shot myself.

    I understand your logic Rich and of coursed I admit I am biased. The examples you give of single club cities are good ones and, Coventry aside, a common factor is that those clubs tend to hold their support at very respectable levels even through periods of under achievement on the pitch.  

     If Rovers had a benefactor willing to risk a sizable amount of cash, albeit not on the Lansdown scale, then of course my viewpoint would be different. But we haven't and so we have to use some lateral thinking to get out of the situation we are in and try to preserve our football club. To ask (beg) Stephen for help would be ludicrous but i believe what I have proposed has some merit.

    The scenario you put forward of Rovers' elimination leading to greater opportunity for City is plausible on the face of it but in reality I think it is flawed for two reasons. Firstly, the vast majority of newcomers to the area or undecided football fans are clearly going to favour City anyway due to the standard of football and the facilities at Ashton Gate and I don't think this will change even with a fan owned club alive in North Bristol. Secondly if Rovers were to fail then I cannot see our hard core supporters switching sides to City but instead they would either follow a reconstituted club at a very low level or switch to another recreational activity. So the benefits to City of Rovers disappearing would, I believe, be minimal.

    But my point really was about Stephen Lansdown and his commitment to sport in Bristol and how a revitalized Rovers under a unique and dynamic fan ownership model could provide an extra dimension to his achievements on behalf of the community and to his his legacy.  If he could be convinced that the presence of a "new model" Bristol Rovers  would benefit sport in Bristol as a whole, do no harm to City  and possibly even spur you on to greater things then maybe there is hope ?

    Just watched the highlights. Defending was poor. Now popping over to Asschat for even more hilarity. Must get myself a login for that forum, but guess I would get myself banned fairly quickly, especially if I use wendyredredrobin.  Can anyone suggest a better username?

    You're just a blot on the landscape.

    Whilst you're standing on terrace of your ramshackle swamp of a rugby ground believing yet another new owner's stadium wet dreams, meanwhile in the real world football is changing at a pace and leaving you behind.

    Nobody wants you and I don't think your Chelsea supporting owner would give two sheiks if he could get rid.

    Let's face it, you're an embarrassment.

     

     

    a post that is Sharp and madness at the same time. My cap is well and truly doffed.
