Port Said Red

Really? The way they talk they sell out every away game no matter their league position.

Yes that would be a good one, wasn't it only Wolves who exceeded our figure at MK though?

It's a shame they are playing MK away on a Tuesday night, otherwise we could put an end to this nonsense about away support once and for all.

I think you missing the point Danny. A few of us and maybe even Bert have said several times during this thread, that you have done well to rescue yourselves from a dire position. The pisstaking is aimed at the delusion that so many of your fellow fans, have about the status you have and the continued assertion of what your current finances will mean for your future. The facts fall so far short of the reality it is almost like a form of mass hypnosis, and we and fans like Bert are bemused and amused by it in equal measure.

You're right close the forum, there are people on here who wish to debate things you are not interested in. That's not the point of a forum is it? Alternatively, perhaps we could name this thread something else, something that would give you a clue to as to the content of the thread so you could ignore it in future?

but just to you.

Well my mistake was definitely down to a bleary eyed start to the day

I hope this is ironic, or least we could put it down to it being written early in the morning?

Is that a summary of what's being posted on your forum these days?

So you think his username refers to the ex-Brazilian captain rather than being an ironic nod to this man? Socrates Philosopher Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy. He is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of classical writers, especially the writings of his students Plato and Xenophon and the plays of his contemporary Aristophanes. Plato's dialogues are among the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity

and yet, and yet......... 32 minutes ago via mobile Jon the Stripe and okebournegas like this 2 hours ago KippoGas said: Wael's wallet is empty. Post by socrates on 32 minutes ago "I doubt it his family are billionaires and they've bought the club not Wael individually from what I can gather. DC will strengthen the squad but he won't bring in a player over another player just because he's a name or costs more which I'm glad of. Any new players need to fit the Darrell Clarke way and I'm happy with that."

Darryl says 3 or 4 in? But I thought we were being told that they "didn't need to buy the league, like that tax dodger over the river" and "it's evolution not revolution". How will the loyal faithful spin it if they start to splash a little cash?

Someone should ask him if it reminds him of the old Burnden Park, but then he doesn't look like he is old enough to remember it.

and another one

Great save ROD

You know what I mean, there were a large number of games up to January and beyond where we seemed to be the better team only to get done on a break.

SO you think the Burton fans will feel like we did for 3/4's of last season when we outplayed teams but lost or drew?

Jon Stead and Jon Akinde both scored as well, it's Bristol City old boy day

He is playing Boston Ma on the 25 October and I will be there to see him

That's shocking from a professional organisation isn't it?

Pakistan 515 for 8

We know you haven't Phil and to be honest, your club do deserve some credit for recovering from the worst possible position so quickly. As much it's fun to laugh at you having to struggle out of the Conference, the fact is many other teams have been down there and never recovered. I noticed last night that Stockport lost to FC United of Manchester in the Conference North and was thinking how it is not really that long ago that I was watching the City play them in league 1. Taking the mickey about your promotion only happening in the last minutes of last season is also like moaning about a 93 minute winner in a single game, it still counts. Getting back to league 1 so quickly is a huge achievement for your club. Most of the more sensible commentators on this thread are really just amazed at the gullibility of your fan base, even in this post you say Wael stated from the beginning that he would not throw money at the club, yet at the level that the club is at and with the facilities you have that surely is the only option if you wish to progress. The guy is a part of successful business family and must know this, so the only conclusion can be he doesn't have it to throw. A lot of your fanbase don't seem to have worked this out and still bandy the term "billionaire" around. This is an example of the kind of thing that keeps this thread alive. Look at how they swallowed Higgs' "watertight contract" line in the face of so many points from people with legal backgrounds pointing out that Sainsburys wouldn't be turned over easily. I watch this thread with the same look of bemusement at the antics of your club and fans as I have when watching Rude Tube and thinking "what did you expect to happen when you jumped off a roof into a paddling pool?" Bert Tann comes on here and understands that, he takes the piss in the same way we do about our own club when they do daft things, like we all do with people we love who do daft things. I thought you understood this too until recently, but your recent posts suggest you need to take a step back, look in from the outside a little and understand what motivates us to post in this thread.

In the same way I would write about IS in the non-football forum though.

I know it's only a sad little forumite, but wouldn't it serve them right if the club called them out on these sort of stories and sued. I am sure the money for a game like that would have been split out the same way it was at Hengrove, profits to them and other grassroots football in the area. Someone should post the positive stuff Hengrove officials said about us after the community game. Thats the real story.

The last 4 pages of this thread have been full of posts from Gasheads arguing with themselves, I think it's all part of a conspiracy so they can keep referring to this thread as proof of "our obsession" with them.
