Unrelated but with Banksy being a ciderhead I’ve always wondered why we’ve never reached out, even if all profits went to charity (probably a sticking point), it would be iconic.

You are overlooking their inability to listen to criticism. Make a noise over there and they get called a Ted and told to go to Trashton.

Their fans hold them back as much as their leadership does.

I was reading their stadium thread, a poster actually said that the other Gas forum was an echo chamber, any different views were shut down and he was grateful for the varied opinions and debate on GasChat. I haven’t stopped laughing yet.

Really? That seems a little extreme to me. Out of interest, what is it you dislike so much? Is it a personal disliking for a more modern design, or something more specific?

I think it's decent. Looks pretty modern, smart, and clean. Has gone down fairly well with the fanbase. The robin motif works quite nicely on its own for a lot of branding. Certainly an improvement on the outdated and amateurish looking badge from the 70's/80's, and the generally "meh" Bristol coat of arms.

If I were being critical, I'd say it's in danger of falling into the group of 'template' circular badges that almost every club is going for these days, and in doing so potentially lacks a bit of identity? (see new badges of Brentford, Millwall, QPR, Aston Villa, etc). Sticking a reference to the suspension bridge on the badge (as below) and/or having a non-circular crest would probably improve it a little bit. IMHO, it's far from being one of the worst in the EFL though.

I think it looks better without the added circles, and Brentford looks far better, the added, but simple, detail makes it look considerably more professional.

First two yards are in your head. He’s quicker than those that LJ brought in to replace him. 

Turned slower than a tank to be fair 

6 hour wait for that...

Brilliant, we’ve just been joking about having a flat pack stadium ground and they’ve gone and done this.

Jon destroying our identity completely so that we have a perfect excuse to have a proper rebrand that isn't the Splat or the Chilli? Prudent mastermind.

Not sure what's funnier, "stadium" or "superstore"

 

 

Bloody hell, I know it’s a circus but I didn’t realise they actually had fairground rides there 

Re his subscription, and the excuse of “the media have profited off of me enough for free”, it’s quite laughable really. 
 

Joey: “You’re profiting off of me and I get no money from it”

Media: “Press is part of your contract as a EFL manager”

Joey: “Not my private Twitter though!”

Media: “It’s not private, you’re talking about Bristol Rovers public interests”

Joey: “Yeah, well, I’m still going to charge you. You’re massively profiting off of me!”

Media: “Okay, how much will you charge?”

Joey: “Umm, a massive £4.69 per month”

If anyone truly believes this is done to stop the media’s ‘profits’, and not to charge gullible fans that can afford that price, then they need to give their heads a wobble.

I don’t know if I’ve understood this correctly, maybe someone can help?

Barton has set up a Twitter account that his own fans have to subscribe to if they want exclusive transfer info??

Exactly that and a lot of Gas are defending him, they really get what they deserve.

I assume it couldn’t be the case when I first saw the Subscription post. But he really is hiding Rovers transfer news behind a £5.99 paywall on Twitter, have you ever heard of a manager doing that?? That is definitely the first time in history, and the proceeds to himself, not the club.

Wael/that CEO don’t have half a backbone between them, absolute joke.

Oh and he said a “considerable amount” will be going to charity after he was quizzed on it, and never said that in his original post. The second excuse was to filter out the ‘hate’ posts, yet the only things behind the paywall are Gas related comments (which he never got hate on), and he’s still posting political rubbish in front of the wall, in which he still gets replies from anyone. Just getting that in there in case any Gas reply trying to defend him with broken logic.

In Rovers' case however "they" will not be some disgraced baseball team but rather Planning Enforcement officers from the council coming to tell them to take it down.

Long thread so might have been suggested before, but I'm a little surprised that the idea of a, say, £35M bid for Scott and Conway hasn't really surfaced on the speculation treadmill. Taking the pair of them would IMO probably improve the chances of them both making the step up successfully. I know that would be a fair chunk of change, but would represent value to my mind. 

Alex is always referencing Tommy whenever he appears on camera which suggests to me that having that support in his next move would really make a difference to him. I suspect the feeling is mutual. 

Tin hat on! Awaiting both barrels

Best of luck, had one of the best mentalities I’ve seen down the gate, and at such a young age, shame he didn’t quite have enough ability.

Can’t get particularly optimistic playing these kinds of teams. Worrying for me that we aren’t playing anyone above league 1 level before the start of the season. Not that results against higher opposition mean that much but it’s more to get us to the level required. 

I do like Pearson and I’m hopeful of a top 10 but I do wonder how good our prep will turn out. Hope to be wrong. 

95% of the team have had seasons of playing Championship teams, this is just for fitness, minutes in the legs only.

We’ve gone all Gas

Bell was always ahead of Conway until the start of last season wasn’t he?

Nobody’s posted but 1-0 City, Bell 8’

Would Wolves allow us to start Scott if a move was imminent? Hopefully a sign that the fee agrees rumours are false 

They are false, no credible source (a fee may have been agreed, but that’d be coincidental).

How can you get booked for a foul that isn’t given as a foul?

Easy, the same way a player can be booked for a push/punch/dangerous play/etc when the game isn’t in play.

Nobody is actually saying they expect or think we have a good chance of top 2 are they? They’re saying it’s technically possible so don’t rule it out? I’m sure some people just want to moan and argue.

How many fans do they actually have these days? Comparing online activity but our Alex Scott thread has 3700 replies, they have one thread for all transfer activity which only has 820 replies.

2 bought, upper tier, how many are left?

edit: 367

You can see why 442 have gone from a respected top end sports magazine to, well.. this crap.
