I’m surprised everyone doesn’t want to be part of the supporters club over there. 

I don’t know what the subscription fees are, but it seems that a few quid a month for the chance of walking away with £150k is a pretty good deal to me..! 

I'll have a bang on that!

I see the Evil post has highlighted 6 players the gas could target as being unattached, top of the list Nile Ranger, also on the list is Stephen Caulker.

They won't play for less than £8 an hour so they've got no chance!

They had about 40,000 there.

They had an initial allocation of 35,000 that was increased by another 5000 tickets when it became apparent Shrewsbury didn’t need their full allocation. 

Like other City fans I’ve heard ridiculous claims of 48k, 49k and even 50k from Gasheads....I know it’s not like Sagheads to bend the truth but the middle tier wasn’t even open.

Incidentally, they call us ‘plastic’ but isn’t it funny how a day out at Wembley attracts a whopping extra 33000 ‘loyal’ Gasheads who couldn’t be arsed to go to their home games that season?

Despite winning on that occasion, it can’t have been much of a “day out”, seeing as 15k of those didn’t bother going again in 2015..! 

Wembley was literally brand new and they were the first playoff final ever to play there, hence the inflated crowd. Day trippers and sightseers rather than die hard Sags.

Rovers are so used to being the last to play somewhere (when everyone else has left and switched the lights off), so to be one of the first teams to have played at the new Wembley was a whole new life changing experience for the squatters.

This is the wrong game. It was the first play off final to be played at the new Wembley and it was the one where Rovers beat Shrewsbury 3-1. Apparently Rovers took 45,000 to that one, and in normal Rovers style they have been known to exaggerate this figure further. I have heard it swing from anything between 46-48k. Anyway, whatever it was it was the Shits highest ever attendance +1

Blackburn and Wigan coming up .... tough opponents for City in the Championship next season especially with some pretty decent teams coming down with their parachutes!  Unlike the rest of you, I went to the Mem today.  Brilliant atmosphere ... old fashioned terrace .. unlike the now sanitised Ashton Gate as my son said.  And those who talk about the 45,000 whatever.  Remember the ground up in Whorefield is always 95% full.  

Watching Rovers must be like a throw back to the 80's. Rovers are very much the Cambridge United of 2018. Does the dog fiddler have the height of the mud measured in the corners? To actually pay money week in week out to go and sit on plastic chairs in a tent, eating out of date crisps, watching a non league standard of football played on a mud bath whilst listening to songs about the Teds in between hurling racist remarks and checking the scores every minute to see if The Shit are losing must really be worth the entrance fee to Dismaland.

Actually, I thought I was watching Banged Up Abroad last night and they were in a Mexican Prison, until I realised it was the League One highlights programme on Channel 5 from the Mem.

Nice to see I got a belter of a bite. Welcome St AndrewsGas. See you got off to a flyer. You lot aren't the gift that keeps giving for no reason. You simply just can't help it! Belter.

To be fair to the blue few, they have moved forward, not at a fast pace as the saga thought but still with the new owners they seem to think the following, which wouldn’t of happened with old owners, based on facts.

No new signings. - What, no free transfers?! I don't think so!!!
No top players signing improved contracts. - Top players like Taylor and Bodin? Haven't they gone?
No development squad. - And who have they developed? Where are the fruits? Where are the Joe Bryan's and Bobby Reid's of the Sags then? Anyone?
No darrell clarke - He won't be lied to again Sags. Tick tock!
No chris Hargreaves - What does he do apart from present the Bananarama on BT Sports? Yeah woo! Welcome Bernard.
No league 1 football. - Not long to wait.
No new toilets and club shop. - Whoopy doo
No  exciting training ground development. - Fencegate? How are those project managers getting on?
No football loving mad rovers fan co-owner - Comical Ali?
No safe protection from insolvency - No, you'll still be solvent, just homeless, so no change for Stuart Sinclair there!
No real hope of a prosperous future. - What fact is this based upon then? Not Mr "HELLO! We are the richest club in Bristol" is it? Or better still, Steve "I'll just go and have a chat with Darrell about spending the Bodin money now" Hamer? **** me you lot really are as gullible and thick as you look!
No prospect of a redeveloped mem near the fantastic gloucester road. - Seen the plans yet? Set any dates yet? There is lots to "discuss" first remember?! Hahahahaha!

"Going forward at a snails pace".  Looks more like going backwards to me.  How can they think that? What evidence of progress is there?

They chalk off survival days on a tally chart. They would have been dead over 2 years ago when Nick Higgs gambled everything on winning against Sainsbury's with a Wonga loan and then ended up losing. The Fake Sheikhs came in and were sold a dud and now every day they continue to exist is a blessing. Hopefully the Bodin money which hasn't been spent might enable them to last the rest of the season before going into administration.

How astute DC is, he has all that money to spend in Waitrose following his meeting with SH and he chose to save it all and get some shrewd signings in for free?! He really is the Arsene Wenger of League 1.

Why do their fans deserve championship football ? If any fans in that league deserve championship football it would be Bradford, Portsmouth and possibly Plymouth, they got what their fans deserve when they went out of the league and its a shame they are still not there, no set of fans big thereselves up like that mob, said it before and I'll say it again they are the worst bunch of fans in the country and plenty of other fans agree.

Because they have massive potential and have a massive faithful, loyal and true fan base that puts the Shit to shame.

They took 45,000 to Wembley (apparently) and they have a long history, stretching right back to 1883 unlike the Shit who were only formed in 1982 after shafting their own players and local businesses, vile club.

Rovers also have an away following envied all over the country. 

If you say you are from Bristol and people ask who you support if you say that you are a shithead you will be spat on and punched in the face, but say that you are a Rovers fan and they will hug you like a long lost brother. Rovers are loved that much.

Rovers are also a family club, unlike the Shit with their nasty fans who have subjected nice Rovers fans to disgusting abuse and violence, and Rovers have done nothing bad at all. Everyone loves Rovers.

Rovers deserve to be given a ground, loads of cash and an easy passage into the Championship where they belong.

FTG.

And another.......

Rovers miss out on another?

Reports from the Derby Telegraph now that Rovers were one of the sides interested in forward Luke Thomas. The 18-year-old is now reportedly set to join Scottish side St Johnston on loan.

With Matondo too, if both reports are true, it looks like Rovers are in the market for loan players this afternoon - particularly forwards.

Darrell Clarke wanted another winger in before the deadline, could he be trying to bring in a loan player to...........MIND THE GAP?

Arrogant w@n kers.

I don't blame that player if he wanted to stay at Yeovil, they're a bigger club with better facilities for a start.

Angry little Sags are starting to scratch their misshapen heads wondering why no one wants to sign for them? Don't these potential signings realise they would get the chance to play in front of 'huge' 8000 crowds at the Mem every other week? 

 

The penny has definitely dropped now for the Cadbury Heath lepers. 

Oh well, at least they can turn all of their attention to the disastrous plight of the 82ers as they prey in their locked out droves that we fall at the final hurdle (or preferably earlier) and then we lose all of our best players over the summer and it's back to another relegation battle for the Teds, and no doubt they will be coming for us again!

If the above scenario plays out I fully expect to see them crawling out from the stones that they dwell under to mock our failure whilst failing to acknowledge what a crock of shit their own club is!

On a slightly different note, had a chat with a Gashead yesterday and he was more complimentary about our performance against Man City than I was (I was being modest). 

I also heard Ian Holloway complimenting City on Saturday following the final result. This is however the same Ian Holloway that refers to City off screen as "******* shitheads".

Interesting thread on one of their forums about whether or not they should go bankrupt and start again rising through the leagues like a phoenix and take their rightful place in the Championship as a dept free club.

I know their imagination is amazing isn't it? 

Anyway I thought I'd share this post. 

We should 'chose' to bankrupt the Club. It is unethical and screws local businesses. We should never stoop to what Barry Bradshaw did in 1982 and try to steal Ashton Gate for a pittance when they were in financial difficulty instead of trying to help save the club. We remain in the Rugby ground in Bristol which we stole instead, and it's always good to be jealous of that lot south of the river because it helps us to blank out what a shit state our own club is in. BRFC has been around for 135 years but have only started playing league football again 3 years ago. The sh*t have won more than we have since 1982 so god knows why we even bang on about it. I can't remember 1982 myself as I wasn't born until 1996, but my dad was a Tote Ender (whatever that is?) which I think has got something to do with IKEA, but I don't really get it. Anyway, he threatened to give me "Aggro" if I didn't support the Gas like him and so I now hate the shit and sometimes support the Gas. 
However - you raise a valid point. Dwane Sports could sell the Memorial Stadium and effectively leave BRFC debt-free and homeless. Even I don't think this will happen. I believe in fairies too. I am pretty damn sure that the Bankers who own our Club are well aware of the option to pull the plug and Hani has already stemmed the cash flow in preparation for the inevitable. OK - Dwane Sports cut and run. A chance for fan ownership and to finally move to Mangotsfield? (Vaughan has some ideas on this).
At this point - pretty sure we would slide down the leagues playing the type of hoof ball that we play. We would have to rent somewhere to play because we are pikey squatters by choice. This is ingrained in our 135 year history. Obviously this is the best scenario.
But - Does it kill the Club? Nope. We become 'like' the Phoenix Club...ran by Brian Potter hooked up to someone else's electricity supply courtesy of Ray Von. It's ironic how the Phoenix Club also burned down and Keith Lard was also caught fondling dogs? Could the club ever recover from this? Hopefully not in our lifetime at least! There are plenty of examples of this happening though - Wimbledon being the best. And remember they have a far smaller support base than us, because we are the ******* biggest club in the world and faithful and truest and prowed.
As long as I have a team to support in north Bristol who play in blue & white quarters and have a proud history going back to 1883 - I can live with that. Even if we share a pitch with Greyfriars Athletic on Muller Road. The UWE was the big one that got away. It was a chance for us to establish ourselves in a higher division. Maybe the UWE numbers never stacked up? It would have been impossible to fit all 45,000 Gasheads into an 18,000 seater stadium anyway. FTG.

Urgh - the MOST annoying thing I have witnessed on media and social media is....

When they beat Man U and played Man City, the press and other clubs fan pages started really churning out the “rags to riches, local club dun good” line.

Now, this is because a lot of people confuse us with them. They see Bristol and think “poor, lowly football club”

City could NEVER be described as a skint, small club. They’ve had a revolving door of monied investors.

I had to correct a journalist I got into an argument with online who said “yeah, but a few years ago they were down and out at the bottom of the football league pyramid”

So, our grief and relegation is now creating a false narrative of their rags to riches story. I had to point out multiple times their owner is a billionaire financial advisor, who has piled £100M plus change over more than 10 years. They are the opposite to a plucky, upstart club. They are money football on a stick. They’ve not even been in existence technically for 40 years and their gates were about 12k when they didn’t have a money hose, and the majority of their support are part time fans who turn up when they’re winning - look at the away support for an idea of how big they’d be without millions of pounds of investment.

I tried to explain that WE were the ones chucked out to bath, but consistently beat them leading to their fan base to commit some pretty horrific acts on us. I had to show them how getting a draw at Ashton Gate meant physical assault on PLAYERS, never mind fans. Why? Because WE were the little club and they felt they were the big team, and couldn’t handle us upstairs beating them. 

Also, the “rags to riches” team put in a bid at the exact level of our release clause for our best player when it looked like we had a chance of overtaking them. Alleged dodgy contract dealings and financial clout to sabotage their rivals - poor, rags to riches club.

You can feel the rage, bitterness and green eyed jealousy with this sad Sags obsessed outburst. 

This is 100% your average bitter Sag. Victimised by everyone, can't bear to hear about Bristol City without having some pathetic reassurance about their piss ant tinpot club. 

Mentions 1982 but probably not even born until 1993 so has absolutely no idea what he is banging on about. Was also likely to have been forced into a pirates baby grow as soon as the midwife was cutting the umbilical cord due to the sheer paranoia of the Tote End Neanderthal father with 3 teeth from Banjo.

 Talks from the victims perspective when it comes to vile fans. From someone who recalls the very first pitch invasion which took place at Ashton Gate and started by Rovers supporters invading the pitch when Beadle equalised, danced in the goalmouth and immediately gave V signs to the Dolman G block. As always those Gas ***** ******* started it!

Their loyal and true support is dwindling daily and their eyesore of a club are limping like a fatally wounded animal towards bankruptcy and a restart on the downs.

The sooner the better.

Can't stand their "woe is me **** off shithead" attitude. Boils my piss.
