  1. And the 10k gate didn't materialise either. Happy days
  2. Not so different yours except that I think the only thing that will be built on the site at UWE is a School of Law (with a nice car park). Here's hoping.
  3. I see it this way. Dwayne Sports calls in the loan and the football club goes into administration. Dwayne Sports repossesses the CH4pit and sells it off for whatever the Nimbys will allow. BRHPFC (2017) have to groundshare somewhere. By 2021/22 season they are squatting at Yate Town while polluting the Sourhern League.
  4. You are wrong, deluded and plain wrong. We do not want to play you again - ever. The sooner Wally does the asset-strip that is clearly planned the better. Then you can toddle off to the Toolstation League or something, though what those clubs have done to deserve your Neanderthal supporters is not for me to say.
  5. That's the car park for the new Legal Library?
  6. We will have some who thibk the same I'm sure. I just hope they are not so ingrained in their prejudices that they are them in public like that.
  7. Almost bound to be like that when a club comes out of non-league. The novelty factor of playing full time big name clubs every week will be quite a draw.
  8. Yes, the 1883 date relates to the predecessor of the predecessor of one of the teams that merged to become horse Punching Sag Losers FC. But since when have they been concerned with facts?
  9. If they had 18k for that one they must have had some pitiful crowds in other games to get the average down as far as it went that season.
  10. The question was when the horse abusers last had a 20k plus gate for a league game that wasn't against us. The answer is about 45 years ago. I agree with your point about the differences between now and then but this appears to be the answer to the exam question. I feel very smug as I had a feeling it was as far back as when Villa were in division 3.
  11. Under 18000 for that one sub 20k for Manchester Utd in 1975 just over 20k for Villa's visit in 1971 so I think my hunch was correct, and the crowd was 75% Villa
  12. That'll be down to us i'm sure. After all, everyone else is in awe of the greatest fans in history and "da famous quarters"
  13. So, top of the head, they are traditionally about the 55th best supported club in the country and we are about the 40th. Someone with more time than me could do the analysis more accurately but I don't think I'm far out. Odd fact for our gates is that the promotion season of 1976 and the play off season of 2008 had very similar average gates.
  14. No,no,no, they had 99% of the crowd and there were 28 of us there. A sag told me so on here just the other day. My memory is a little different, the Muller Bank was packed and most of the other parts of the ground were mainly red. The pictures of the game confirm that too. A while earlier than that Villa took over 15000 to Eastville for a div 3 game so the crowd may have scraped over 20k,but their gates were in freefall from about 1975.
  15. True but neither of them could make it as the moped was off of the road.
  16. That is ludicrous even for a sag. You possess neither the funds nor the mental alacrity to drive a car. So why would you take a feline to a game of football?
  17. Bookmark that for reuse next April. Karma can be wonderful. There is more chance of them meeting FGR in the league.
  18. Driving to the match yesterday I heard 20p interview a sag at Oldham. His neanderthal mutterings consisted of: Best team in the league Going up Been better than every other team this year. So look out City.
  19. No, it's his IQ, one of the smarter sags
  20. What slagging off? Everything about the Salisbury City days is fact, try looking it up. They would probably have gone bust at the end of Dopey's last season but for the fortuitous windfall from Matt Tubbs's transfer. They were always a fit side and threw the kitchen sink at opponents, especially at home, but came unstuck badly at times. Is that anything but fair comment, especially as I doubt you saw any of it?
  21. Similar, I'd put him a level below GJ. Frankly my cat could have managed Salisbury City out of the Southern League with a full-time team that was essentially the same as the one who played in the Conference the previous year. Even then, Truro won the League! Dopey's team blew a 14 point lead in March the next season and had to go up through the play offs. One parallel with the 15'ers is how much all the other fans despised the 'old' Salisbury.
  22. Got to say, Dopey did the same at Salisbury City a few years ago. Make the side fitter than everyone else (easy when you are the only full time team in the division as Salisbury were) and throw the kitchen sink at teams in the last 15 minutes. Not very pretty and comes unstuck now and again (0-6 at home once) but gets points. Better teams find you out though and there is no plan B. They are already massively over achieving and have a dependence on one striker banging in loads of goals (just like Salisbury did). Ithink that Dopey is one of those managers who will always do well in League 2 with a meagre budget but will struggle long term in better leagues and, oddly, with better budgets.
