Here is a collection of just a few.....Of course your supporters aren't obsessed with Ted's are they? Enjoy x

He was locked out with the other 20,000 faithful and true.

As far as I am concerned it is always banter. Unfortunately, coming from a Sag stronghold (and you won’t get much stronger) I live amongst the obsessed. They start giving it whenever City lose, but as soon as you hit a nerve they want to have a scrap about it. I have learnt that it is a waste of time trying to have face to face banter with Sags as the small club syndrome takes over and they start getting really nasty about it. Don’t dish it if you can’t take it back, but Sags can’t help themselves, they just can’t. After you were hilariously dumped out of the football league I heard with my own ears Sags making a pact not to mention City whilst they were non league because they simply couldn’t handle what they would be opening themselves up to. I always hear “How many did we take away?” before back slapping each other and going on about how fantastic their support is. I gave them a pat on the back too, with a sticker with Matty Taylor on it saying “Welcome To Bristol” which they proceeded to wear around the pub until they got all edgy and wanted a bit of good old Tote End Aggro. I have lived with the Sag obsession and gloating of yesteryear and enjoy immensely being able to contribute for eternity to this thread as I find it a therapeutic release after the traumatic experience of being offered out by Neanderthal Sags twice my age when I was a kid simply for wearing a City shirt. It is my opinion that Bristol has always been held back by being a two club City. Every time we try to move forward there have been protesting Sags coming out of the woodwork left right and centre, but we are the same in this respect. Our general mutual hatred of each other does nothing to help Bristol out on the map in terms of quality top level football. If we had disappeared in 1982 which is the only stick you continue to try and beat us with (which incidentally doesn’t bother any of us) then maybe your club would have taken advantage of it, and I believe the same would happen if your club was to disappear altogether. There will never be a United Bristol and an amalgamation of both clubs, so the only other option is for one of the clubs to fold and with the fake sheikhs in place it appears to be coming sooner than you are coming for City. It’s a sad state of affairs, but the truth is that we will never get on with each other. So long live this thread! It’s actually “Faithful and true”....Their song goes ....We’re Rovers supporters, we’re faithful and true (snigger), we always follow the boys in blue AND WHITE (probably has some underlying racist connotation), we all made a promise that we’ll never part, goozzzz goozzzz zzzz zzzzmy dreams (this part is basically inaudible and sped up) IRENE GOODNIGHT IRENE etc etc (dull song with no relation to football whatsoever about someone’s nan).

Oh don’t worry, there is plenty more gifts that I missed off. As I said, the list is endless. You’re not allowed to discuss Teds on Sagchat as you pretend we don’t exist....well you did until we bought old Snakey from you....then you had a total meltdown. Dean Windass - 2008 Colin Daniel - 2014 Again, only mocking what you lot started. That’s the difference. We can dish it out and take it. Your mob can’t even bear to mention ‘The Shit’ without throwing your teddies out of the pram and start acting like victims begging other clubs to love you. Long may you continue to give it the biggun to they gert sheeds, before delivering more belting gifts that enable us to mock you back ten fold. Tick tock. You’re coming for us.....

I’ve seen enough to know how obsessed with City your fans are. Outside of this I have heard your fans more concerned about how “da shit” are getting on rather than care about how their own team is getting on. I think it probably was born out of your clubs original “City relegation party” threads / Facebook groups. This thread has gone on for so long because you belters keep serving us up with gifts aplenty. I’ll list a few.... Celebrating staying up at Wycombe and going out of the football league the following week. Being sent down by a guy wearing a Rovers away shirt. Barrow, Bath, Chesham, Barnet Horse punching Thousands locked out 6th richest club in England Boob cricket Punching Braintree players in the back of the net Santa’s Grotto Condemned Pasty Shack Championship ready sprinklers Hello! Unlucky the shit. Watertight Sainsbury’s contract Evolution not Revolution (These things take time) Two divorces The family club with a horrendous record of banning orders Tents The colony (Game changer) White plastic chairs The pipe dream stadium Always the victim Dean Windass worship Doncaster United £10 Million Snake The list is endless..... Tinpot bunch of belters. ?

Rammed full of obsessed Ted’s singing Ted songs and then waiting outside for the Rovers fans, just like they were on that awful day in 2014 when Mansfield ended their 92 year association with the Football League. If it isn’t the fault of Ted’s then it is Wycombe, who should have had a points deduction, even though Sags had stormed all over their pitch ruining it, breaking hoardings and singing songs about staying up and celebrating their impending doom. Oh, THE GIFTS!

I have been to the Mem and I have heard it with my own ears. Totally obsessed with City is an understatement when it comes to Rovers tunes. I bet you were “Singing the blues” on Saturday with the other 5 (and 20,000 locked out). Perhaps the most memorable one for me was the day you beat Lincoln City 5-2 in the playoff semi final. Your winning chorus was “Are you watching Ashton Gate?”. A mate of mine is completely neutral, a rugger head from Bath and he said he was going to watch the match. He recalled 1 minute 26 seconds into the game before your lot were singing about “da shit”. He thought I was joking about how obsessed Sags are with a City until he saw it with his own eyes and agreed. The whole beginning of this Bristol Rovers Dustbin thread came about as a result of Sags obsession with City in the first place. If I had to spend my whole time stood up freezing my bollocks off getting drenched with only a bit of canvas above my head then I guess I would have to sing loudly as I could just to stay alive. I haven’t suggested that the Mem is like Camp Nou, it’s more like Scout Camp. There are enough tents anyway.

Is that the atmosphere where you sing songs continuously about Sheed’eads? Pleased that we give you something to sing about because win or lose the quality of football that you lot pay to watch is truly woeful. I don’t envy you in the slightest. Rovers worked miracles in 1990 when they didn’t have a pot to piss in, but eventually the bubble burst. You might hang around for a few more years, but you will drop down with the club being ran as it is sooner or later. Sometimes it’s hard being a City fan but at least we have seen progress off the pitch and we are unlikely to suffer the sort of horrific run that we had last season. I’m not the biggest fan of Lee Johnson, but he does seem to be finally giving us some stability now and we won’t be having any last day of the season relegation scares this year. The Championship is a hard league. League One however is nowhere near the standard of the Championship. Last time we were there we won it at a canter. The difference between us and you is that we can compete, all your mob can do is hope.

@bodin ? Fair play son. At least you are giving it a right good go at trying to convince us that your club isn’t as Tinpot as it is. I haven’t seen as much effort since Ian Alexander tried to put Dave Smith in hospital twice and then tried to do the same to his replacement Louie Donowa. Like @Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan I too believe that you might actually manage to escape the drop this year, because usually (apart from Sir Colin Daniel day) you have always been spawny bastards. However, in my opinion you are ? ? well above your weight with no money in a tented shithole. You must be embarrassed at how awful it is. It makes Trumpton look like a palace! The reality is that Rovers are probably on a par with the likes of Yeovil and Cheltenham these days. Two promotions were a miracle under the dog fiddler which is why you have been struggling at the wrong end of League One since you went up. It’s only a matter of time before you crash back into League Two to increase the gap to where it should be. I think your fan base are just struggling to come to terms with the fact that your club is dying, and without a serious cash injection and a new ground it won’t be long before you are struggling to hang on to your football league status again at the bottom of League Two. Your long term future is grim to say the least and the longer you fester the more your faithful and true will start to dwindle. Your delusion is thinking that you are bigger than you are which is actually what you project onto us as our problem. I’m just glad you didn’t succeed in stealing our ground back in 1982 and I enjoy the false hopes followed by disaster when it comes to Tinpot Bristol Rovers.

Yeah. You’re all singing the blues tonight....wrapping up another gift.

When Rovers played Forest Green in the rain during their glory days of Non League football the game was shown live in BT Sport and Clem said “Bristol Rovers fans singing their anthem ‘Come on Eileen’”. It really was a joy to witness.

The Rovers employee, with £126,000 of the clubs money, in Gala Bingo.

They had one for finishing second in the conference.....for the kids of course (or the Neanderthal over 50 Tote Enders).

You forgot that there were literally thousands locked out. No doubt trying to get into a gay bar for a pre-match love-in.

Locked Out! Where’s all the Gasheads, Locked Out Where’s all the Gasheads, Locked Out Where’s all the Gasheads, Locked Out

Always been plenty of City fans in Cadbury Heath. It’s just that the stronghold of Gas centred around the estate pubs there. Below is an excerpt from a book where a foreigner stumbles upon Banjo Island in the 1970’s and encounters some of the Sag Family Club loved by everyone welcome.

No. It’s gert ‘Ted in the away end!

Correct Rob. Why do an open top bus tour of Kingswood if it’s a City area?.....Then again.....

Patchway (Gas), Horfield (Gas), Eastville (Gas), Staple Hill (Gas), Fishponds (Gas), Kingswood (Gas), Cadbury Heath/Banjo (Gas), Yate (Gas)

Faithful and true who could hardly muster a song, a broken scoreboard, a shite team, and the comfort of watching from a tent....A reality check I see....

They kissed arse so much that they even sang gert ‘ted songs. Must be some very brown Sag noses about this morning....

Back in the bottom 4. Never felt more like singing the blues

30-40k locked out potentially too. Avoid Gloucester Road at all costs. This will be the biggest fixture of the year. It will probably be the first match that Soccer Saturday reports on and they will have probably brought in Dean Windass to the studio to report on it. Everyone will love them today up and down the country and praise will be heaped on their faithful and true family club following. #Gaslogic #Sixthrichestclub #Helllloooooo

It’s a community owned club now but they’re all Ted’s.
