IMany of the motions were voted against or failed to get interest from many of the shareholders which was not normal for AGMs. There were exchanges with Supporters Club who have been asking the club for share certificates to confirm the BRSC Share Scheme actually owned them. Club said this was in hand to lots of amusement. Directors confirmed no more ground improvements planned.

You can hardly blame those in charge of the gas for this - they have just done so many improvements to their ground over recent years!

I see the keeper that pretty much kept them up last season has got his dream move to a much larger, better supported and well run club.

Signed for Gillingham.

 

"Well run" as in they  "ran" from "Wael?"

I was wondering if their right to light was impeded by the screen too.

I did wonder if it was there so he could say `I`m off up to the London office` on days when Chelsea were playing. He`d probably get his mileage paid as well.

I wondered the exact same thing - It would not be surprising to see a very strong correlation between "business trips" to the London office and midweek Chelsea home games in the gas expense accounts.

I still don't understand the reason for London being the location in this day and age.  Bristol is well connected, so much so that the owner of one Bristol club setup a financial Business in Bristol rather than London!

I guess the argument is that London makes more sense to host foreign investors, but if anyone was to actually get to the stage of talking about investment and visiting the Rovers London office, I'd assume they'd at least ask to be taken to Bristol to see the Memorial Stadium, so what is the point in the London office?

One of the things (amongst many) I can`t get my head around is why they have that London office? What benefit can that possibly have for the club?

Its closer to the team Wally actually supports

9,859 (1,145 Tyke-ys; 8,754 Pykeys). Another season without a 10,000+ home attendance. God, they need a bigger ground. 

Final scores on their efforts "10K average over 5 games"

Charlton 8343
Luton 9037
Bradford 8417
Rochdale 8516
Barnsley 9859

Total of 44172  Just under 6000 short of the 50K they needed

Average 8834 

Conclusion 

• Massive Club
• Best and most loyal fans!
• Club needs a 30K stadium

Meanwhile in south Bristol

Reading 23309
Derby 25556

Total 48865 - over 4K more than the saggies 5 match run in just 2 matches

Conclusion

• Soul-less empty bowl
• Dirty Teds innum?

I was driving home listening to Radio Bristol,and was so caught up in the developing situation that I just kept driving,straight past my turning,and drove around until the game was over.I then couldn’t resist driving down Gloucester rd,the look on the sags faces was a sight to behold,in contrast to the beaming smile on my face.My passenger,the wife,wasn’t so impressed,telling me to stop smirking before one of the few clocked me and realised I was a red.

She was right! - Clearasil is tough to get off the windows of a vehicle - just ask that minibus load of away fans.

Imagine being the 2nd biggest club, in a fixture against Fleetwood Town..!

I think they mentioned after their loss to Rochdale they were going to "take over" Fleetwood today - I wonder how many they will actually take?

Also based on their "10K average" over the last five games dream. I think our attendance today will mean we have surpassed the aggregate of  5 home gates of theirs in our last 2 games.

From that thread (which is mostly slagging off their former managerial messiah GC)

.... let’s all now take over fleetwood and then pack the mem to make sure we do our bit...

I'm guessing the final game of the season at the mem will actually be very well attended....

by the Barnsley fans!

8516. From Spotland, 273; from Grotland, 8243 

Won’t  anyone listen FFS? THEY NEED A BIGGER GROUND. 

An update on their 10K average over last 5 games....

Charlton 8343

Luton 9037

Bradford 8417

Rochdale 8516

Barnsley ?

Average = 8579

Required for 50k over 5 games and thus 10K average - 15687

So you're right @Rudolf Hucker They DO need a bigger ground.

Oh he's gone for sure. The owners will only be too keen to cash in. They'll be expecting 7 figures now.

Maybe he will get his dream move to one of the bigger, more successful, and better supported clubs like Luton, Plymouth or Barnsley. 

Then Wael can trouser the cash and get them another freebie from Aldershot or similar

8,417 - 313 Bantams; 8104 Cocks

Charting their "progress" to average 10K over their last 5 home games as some of the fewers were suggesting a while back

Charlton 8343

Luton 9037

Bradford 8417

Rochdale ?

Barnsley ?

Average so far - 8599  

Average required in remaining games - 12101

Despite what was posted on here earlier today from gas chat about "fanbase" - this goes to show that both their support AND fanbase are pitiful.

So in the time it takes for them to purchase and install a TV, we built the South Stand???

The issue apparently stems from a line in the installation instructions that reads

"for sufficient ventilation please ensure there is at least a hand widths of space at the back of the unit" - They are struggling to find bolts long enough apparently

Theyll be raging at that. Protest, boycotts the lot.

They are already boycotting home games - I am not sure we'd be able to tell the difference

I thought I'd keep track of the sags 10K average over final five home games of the season "target"

Charlton 8343

Luton 9037

Bradford ?

Rochdale ?

Barnsley ?

Average so far - 8690

Average required in remaining games - 10873

I hadn't realised they play Barnsley on the last day of the season -  I REALLY like the look of that fixture especially if the sags need something - Would be sweet to see Cauley Woodrow relegate them while they spew their bile at him in their tented swamp

Bravo to the City fan in the sags marketing department. 

They really don't help themselves do they? 

I thought that was photoshopped but it's really there on their site. Yet another gift. Hilarious.

The gifts your weird supporters keep on giving @bodin ark at this one, tad deluded this one......

were not crap? Well the fans aren’t,best thing about this football club
We’re CRAP as you put it cause we always end up with tight fookers 
Look where Bournemouth are now? We’re a bigger club than them they just have someone willing to spendp

The "bigger than Bournemouth" crap again... 

The graph here is from a post I made in this thread where they claimed they were bigger than Swansea, Huddersfield and Bournemouth. For reference the gas attendance line is yellow and black, since I am aware they once had an away kit those colours. 

With Regard to Bournemouth - They were historically a similar size and there was little to choose between the clubs (similar attendances etc).  Some seasons the gas had higher attendances, sometimes the cherries did.

However since 2014 Bournemouth have left them wael and truly behind. I know they may argue with investment they could be as big as Bournemouth again but that would need an implosion at Bournemouth or the Gas to invest, get promoted twice and for their fans to actually turn up. None of these things are looking paritcularly likely at the moment are they?

They had a gate of 10,594 on 3 May 2014 vs Mansfield. Of course as we now know, us Teds made up the majority of the crowd that day ...

Hmm you are right - maybe the website I sourced the info from doesn't include every year?

Either way I think the point i am making is still 100% valid - To aggregate 50K attendance over the next 5 home games they are going to need at least three and most likely four attendances over 10K. Given the rarity of them getting that many at the swamp I think they have less than zero chance of achieving that.  As Loon plage said - fantasists!

I expect they may get something like 43k over the five games. Kind of the figure we get for two games
