Smaller than a flea

I really don't know what you lot are so unhappy about.

The league tables as they stand tonight are just about perfect in our historical positions.

It was always this way until we got a bit dodgy in 2001.

You are struggling not to get into a relegation spot in the Championship, and we are struggling to get into a promotion slot in League 1.

Just accept it. 

You really are not Chelsea, and we are really not North Ferriby United.

Think the 5 trillion were locked out in fan zone at the time, apart from those attending the open top tour bus you had

Thought we put that to bed a while ago.

Hmmmmmmm  getting there ....

Not much of a crowd there.

I apologise for the misjudged comments about how we're coming for you.

It looks like you're coming for us.

I reckon you knew it was a lie and said it hoping that nobody would notice.

Well that's hardly likely to be true on a thread with 325 pages and a million obsessed views, is it?

Except when you're wrong about attendances...

 

I was indeed wrong about that. Very sorry everyone. I didn't leap onto Google and check it. I just said it from the remains of a faulty memory.

Well, we took 3,000 to Birmingham when we played them last.

And the attendance against Crawley was admittedly very poor,

But the first two rounds of the FA Cup are not what they used to be. Coventry had just 2,000. 

In fact the whole FA Cup is not what it used to be.

The revised design should fit

 

Is that your away allocation at Birmingham City?

I'm rarely wrong.

quoting the boy from the Simpsons   HA HA

I think you'll find his name is from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, not The Simpsons.

Never mind though.

I'll quote you on that when we beat you home and away next season. Unless DC has gone by then.

You'd have him as your manager though.

This is what you call team spirit.  You can see why the squad have been doing so well.  What a great manager.

I`d be more worried about the 600 of your fans that had clearly been abducted by aliens in between being counted by your twitter bloke and appearing in the stadium. Where are they? Are they OK? Are they being probed as we speak?

Millwall said it was 1,018. Maybe they lied.

I assume Fleabag won't be gracing us with his presence tonight

Hello.

We had a shocker today. But playing with 10 men it's never easy to avoid defeat. 

It's so long since we had a genuine hammering that I'm in group therapy. But it's coffee break time, so I have just popped in. Popping out now.

Bad day. These things happen.

Still 5th though.

Have variable fortunes in Football League for years.

Play in a shoddy old groud.

Lose shoddy old ground.

Play in exile for years.

Return to home town in unsuitable stadium.

Crowds decline to 5,000.

Club falls to lowest ever level.

Wait years to build new ground.

Planners and nimbys stall everything.

New owners turn everything around.

Rise back to League 1.

Win promotion from League 1

New stadium built.

Crowds flock in.

Great success in the Championship.

Beat Bristol City 2-0 at Ashton Gate.

This is how I see our past and future.

Unliklely, I know. 

How could that possibly happen?

Hang on.

Home? I sleep rough. With my dog and my mobile.

The dream continues. You know it's going to happen yet again, don't you?

It was always said he was a Red but then he had that bloody awful pirate tattoo on his leg when he played for them so thought I that couldn`t be right. Surely no self respecting City fan would stoop so low just to appease their Neanderthal fans would they?

Well, you've got a massive corporate "BRISTOL" emblazoned on the Dolman seats, so someone isn't too concerned about the identity of the football club.

Gaschat is sad tonight.

It's a strange feeling. We've actually lost a game. No-one knows how to react.

Always thought that some of the comments about our blue friends were over the top as in fairness most of my blue few mates are a bit strange but alright really.

However a recent experience in Spain would make me review that.

Me and my city supporting friend went to Malaga match against Athletic Bilbao. We often go and watch Malaga .

Anyway on the train back to fuengorila where we were staying we got talking about the game when a rather portly gentleman who was sat next to us asked us in a thick Bristol accent what was the result of the game. Thinking this was odd as he was wearing a Malaga shirt I asked him if he had been to the game and he told me that he had but had gone early from the match because he wanted to get a taxi all the half or so mile to the railway station.

He had missed the two late Malaga goals but also admitted he didn't get into the game to see the early Athletic goal because he was late meaning he had missed all the goals.

I was thinking what a nice chap he was and asked him if he was a Bristolian which he said yes and what team he supported which he replied " I was born on the right side of the river" which I replied "the red side?"

Anyway said nice chap becomes very aggressive towards me and starts to rant "you're not a f*****g s***head are you. I f*****g hate s***heads. You b******ds are everywhere. I am going to text my mate and tell him". I told him to make sure he told his mate there was two city fans to the one R*****s fan so normal service had been resumed even in Spain.

Well this rather nice chap who had turned into a real nasty git then got his phone out and showed me a video of when he went to Sabadell in the summer for a friendly saying " we took 850 fans you S*** heads would have only took about 70"

The train journey took twenty minutes and he continued to get more agrresive and tell us how rubbish Ashton gate is and how their so called new stadium would have a 33k capacity.

If I am aboard and I meet fellow Bristolians I like to chat to them and maybe have a drink with them even if they are r****s fans.

This guy proves everything that has been said on this thread about them being nasty and hating us more than they love there own team

What are the chances of bumping into Marcus Stewart on your hols?

I think some of you want us back up there with you more than we do.  Really.

We've had such a terrible last 16 years, apart from the brief promotion under Trollope, until DC turned it around, that we haven't really been able to think about catching you up. It was crisis management under the old regime, and when we fell into the Conference, many wondered if a bad first season could lead to us doing a Southport.

Carching up with you was very low on the radar of the average Gashead. We just needed to survive and rebuild.

We seem to have done that now, and the old depression has been replaced by positive thoughts.

Coming from someone who supports a team that's only been a league club for two seasons

Two seasons of unparalleled success though. More to come, I think.

I'm alone on here these days. And I'm tired now. Goodnight Teds.
