Surely even with closing down half their tents tonight that is the kind of numbers that makes a loss?

I think we need to get some more of our promising youngsters out on loan in January Maybe we should send a few more to plymouth? They have always done good for our lads in the past, and seem to have developed a few of them very well - ofc there would be no ulterior motive in helping out one of the gas relegation rivals ?

Even less likely that they would have two that admit to it as well

Lets see.... Only full time professional club in Bristol to have played in Non-league Only full time professional club in Bristol not to have played in the top division Only full time professional club in Bristol to have been "runners-up" in League cup qualifying I am sure there are more...

Joseph and Mary had mistakenly bought tickets for row M

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Payne The gas are his 14th club in around 9 years - Actually I would think the word "journeyman" is completely inadequate to describe his career.

446 is a great number in their view since most of them have to take their socks off to count above 10 12

I have heard players at the gas can be had for around 3% of their valuation. Unfortunately in this case we would dealing with Brentford rather than the gas.

I think you will find they are boycotting all competitions

Atletico used to play at the Vincente Calderon. The gas play at the mem-tenty Cauldron.

Staying at home in huge numbers - its just what they do

Including or excluding oxford fans?

Their police escort wasn't ready?

Also don't forget their game will undoubtedly be a sell out, as on their forum they were trying to drum up support to show us which club has the best supporters.

Maybe not, but the site will need fumigating, or some sort of deep clean at the very least. I know students are not reknowned for being fussy, but even students are likely to turn up their noses at being housed on land previously used by the fewers and their collection of tents, portacabins and portaloos.

You had to bring facts into it. They are incompatible with gas logic.

The photo is crap but I saved it to my phone and messed around in Photoshop express. It looks like there is an e there. It's poorly written (which is hardly surprising given their past sign writing "expertise") but I don't think even they'd manage to spell his name wrong tbf.

The huge risk in doing that is snorting whatever drink you have chosen through uncontrolable laughter. Its happened to me more than once reading this thread

Yeah this graph I made a long while ago 100% backs up his point conclusively!! - I can very easily see where he came to the conclusion they would have been the bigger Bristol club had they remained at Eastville They left Eastville in 1986 - and he's right in the fact that since that time they have NEVER been the bigger club (and their grounds have been utter cack) BUT - In the 20 year period prior to that though they were the bigger club (average attendance wise) just once. And over the course of nearly 100 years of attendance data they have managed just 14 seasons with better average attendances than us; of those 14 seasons where they had higher average gates - 8 of them were actually seasons where the average attendance difference was quite close (i.e. were were behind Bristol rovers average attendance, but not drastically so) Compare to that to now - they are pulling 7-9K and we are managing 20K+ at every match. On some weekends recently we are getting close to triple their most recent home attendances.

I know our costs are (a lot) higher than theirs (because we have proper players) but with the sales / purchases we made in the summer won't we make a smaller loss than them this financial year?

Unfortunately the planning forms say "PLEASE FILL IN USING BLOCK CAPITALS AND BLACK INK ONLY" - sadly they are not allowed pens, and they had already eaten their black crayon.

Does this include row M?

In camping parlence I believe they are called guy ropes! I wonder if these guy ropes are "championship ready"

WTAF!?! 21k? So the formula for the gas is to multiply their average attendance by 2.5 ish and for us just add a couple of thousand - yeah that works ipgas! How come the collective of fans on gaschat contain such a high proportion of people with such idiotic thinking. I am beginning to think it's actually worthy of psychological research it's got to be waaay higher than national average.

Amazing to think they are "the richer club" and "bigger and better than we'll ever be"
