Err Say what you mean

So what are you doing on the Rovers match thread @Kodijas Wrist ? And they are obsessed, kind of ironic post?

@SalisburyRed The Lansdown Stand does have them on, you quoted an artists impression of the ground www.evoenergy.co.uk/case-studies/ashton-gate-stadium/

Good shout - obviously not for your friend, surprised nothing on our website yet Earlier in the week "no tickets" was when they took them off of sale - which I think was 12:30 today?

Decent numbers turning up in the home sections to see the Cardiff dreams shattered

Our website? @Sergio Georgini

Yeah - that is what I would call obsessed It drives me nuts on the way out of a game on a Saturday when our fans seem more interested in how Rovers got on, compared to any of our rivals

Was described as "unlikely to play again in 2016"

Now this did make me laugh Bristol Rovers pride themselves on strict policing fans at the Memorial Stadium to reduce the amount of illegal activity ever occurring at the ground. So far this season the club has already banned two separate groups of fans, for very different reasons. The club's security officer Dave Parker has given details of the bans that have already taken place at the club this season. Read more: Bristol Rovers set out plans for when they want to relocate to proposed new training base He said: "We have already banned a group of eight people up to Christmas, over a smoke grenade that was released during the pre-season game against Aston Villa. "It has been the yellow card approach with them. We have also banned six people who were caught live streaming the match as part of a betting syndicate. "The group has been banned for the rest of the season, their details have been passed to the police. On that front we are one of the leading clubs in the country with cracking down on that issue." Read more: What were the 'security reasons' that left Yeovil Town boss Darren Way bemused at Bristol Rovers? Mr Parker also highlighted what might lead to fans being banned and even life-time bans in some serious cases. Here is a rundown of activity which might lead to some of the most serious punishments: LIFETIME BANS DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOUR OR LANGUAGE There is a zero tolerance approach on discrimination. Anyone found guilty of racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-disability language, chanting or abuse will receive a minimum season-long ban. In the worst case scenario, it will earn you a lifetime ban from the ground. DISORDER Anyone found fighting or physically assaulting someone will be banned from the stadium for a minimum of six matches. In more serious cases this can be extended to a lifetime ban. ABUSE/AGGRESSION TOWARDS STAFF Any verbal or physical abuse towards staff will mean fans are immediately ejected from the ground with a minimum sanction of three matches. This can be punished by a lifelong ban from the ground depending on the scope of the offence. TICKETING Abusing the ticketing rules can range from a written warning to a lifetime ban. Touting and the misuse of tickets or concessions all breach the rules set by the club OTHER BANS Smoking a cigarette or an e-cigarette is also a breach of conduct at the Memorial Ground. Fans can expect to be ejected from the stadium with a maximum ban of six matches if found breaking the strict smoking rules. Anyone considered to be drunk in the stands, hospitality areas or found drinking in view of the pitch can also incur the six-match sanction. Throwing coins and drinks or setting off flares in the stand can mean anything from a three-match ban to a three-season ban for supporters. Anyone caught on the pitch at any time without permission could also be on the receiving end of a three-season exclusion. Persistent foul and abusive language can also mean a season-long ban. This includes any abuse aimed towards players, staff and home or visiting fans.

and others are working out the debt hasn't actually been paid - just moved to another account

Had my weekly jaunt onto Gaschat - seems the penny is starting to drop with some !

Two Tribes (Frankie goes to Hollywood)

Is this the match that was being offered cheap at the recent UWE freshers fair?

Big problems up at Durham - another victim of paying too much for England internationals ?

Heavy D & The Boyz - Now that we've found love

OUCH !

Pure Shores (All Saints)

Interesting from the club. Anyone fancy meeting up now for a beer?

This add's even more hilarity this morning !

You have to remember @ChippenhamRed that not everything that get's posted gets seen by all on here. I only just realised that when someone gets the boot on here - their previous posts go with them

Possibly correct - but no doubt the reason that they dislike us is because we a much more successful than most of those tin pot clubs - yourselves included. I do wonder if you would really expect someone you were talking to about local football to actually say they preferred City to Rovers as it would be clear to them they were talking to a Rover fan ! Clearly as you mention #gaslogic

Was a really strange day at Taunton yesterday, for most of the day it actually looked like we might do it, 240 off 40 looked tight and hoped they keep wickets in hand then fall short. Was talking to Trescothick he went for a sleep mid afternoon, he hadn't seen the latest score at this point and didn't want to know it. Players obviously getting nervous as they had a game of football on the pitch at one point. It was strange how many people were so tense they were sat in the ground staring into the distance. Was great to speak to Lavendar, Abell, Bess, Hildreth (reckons he could play in 3 weeks), Rogers (said he was surprised so many there yesterday) and Ian Blackwell, there is real passion to go one better next season.

Not a surprise but Rogers just announced he's leaving Somerset
