It looks like a stall from there own car boot they advertise . I'm sure the students will be queuing up for that .

Perhaps there was another important cycling event on that day...

There must of been a cycling event every other Saturday for the last 40 odd years. 

Dopey and Bristol rovers are a perfect match.

Great header . This boy has one hell of a future. Chelsea should let us keep him for another season

8057? But it was claimed on here by a Sag that they sell 90% of the stadium for matchdays 

Even more proof that was another lie

Didn't realise they were boycotting league matches . Just thought it was the u23 games

Oh the last two pages has been great bedtime reading. Even the penny in starting to drop for our regular sags on here.

Many many times on here I have spoken about how all they wish for us to be one place above us, even if its only for a flirting moment. That is as far as their ambition reaches. They would dine out on that for many years to come just like they did with the counless Lambert comments.

I don't take any enjoyment out of my assessment of their ambitions being confirmed correct by their owners. I just find it incredibly sad.

Over team our club has built some strong foundations which we continue to build upon. Its early days but the signs look promising. The way we are doing things is the absolute correct way of doing things.

They need to do the same. But they won't. They won't, because that takes time. They are driven by an obsession to be somewhere near us. Due to their deep obsession they will never allow themselves any time to build a stable club as it means we continue to be ahead of them and for them that thought is Intolerable.

When we lose a game I'm annoyed because I hate us losing, when we win I'm delighted because I love Bristol City. For them, its a different matter. They hate to lose because they hate giving us more laughing opportunities, when they win they are happy because they can plaster all over social media how they are coming for us following a last minute plucker winner against the likes of the mighty Burys of this world. 

On the rare occasion we lose and they win I try to avoid all social platforms. Simply because what I see is cringeworthy

I feel blessed in life, the great lord gave myself and all of you a very specialgift. The lord knew life is full of ups and downs. He knee there would be days where your pet hamster dies, or you leave home without a coat and it chucks it down, or you put petrol in your diesel car. He knew he had to do something to balance this out, so he created Bristol Rovers football club, so on those days one could come onto this thread and instantly find new ways to laugh hysterically at them. Just like I am now.

However bad life gets, just remember, you are blessed by virtue of not being one of them.

Amen to that . Praise the Lord

Yep.  Sadly true.  And sadly somehow some of the 'Gas Girls' from the admittedly woeful 'Rovers Appreciation Page' on Facebook made the panel. 

Now I don't want to sound snobby but these 'girls' do come over as a bit rough and chavvy at the best of times so I'm surprised they were chosen and made the cut to the panel.  They spend most of their time online talking about penis size and the players they fancy  grim.

Anyway - positive news - talks are advanced on the new training ground site, 29 acres, hoping to start a move in March.   Will aim to be a Cat 2 Academy - woohoo

Not surprised they talk about penis size . Rovers players are all massive pricks

Question:

Where do you want this club to be in a years time.

Answer:

Above Bristol City.

 

Question:

What is the ambition of this club.

Answer:

To be higher in the League than Bristol City.

 

Added to one chap who was surprised that Doppy Daryl talked to Leeds as they really are no bigger than Rovers and you get an idea of how dilussional they where.

Actually turned into a bit of comedy gold me on my cycle trip home.

 

 

 

Is that honestly what they just said. Amazing

U T G!  Anyway, still up for that pint or at least a friendly handshake on Saturday at the Mem? Drinks on me! 

Aren't you being a bit of a stalker Danny. You must keep checking this thread for berts posts . Let it go surely you got more important things to do .

I thought we were 0-1 down when called off and it was Heffernan who scored ?

Think u could be right . I'm sure Devon White scored against whilst playing for Notts county . Obviously a different game. Memory ain't as good as it was

My understanding is season ticket holders have been given free entry for the rearranged game? If that's true then I can't see the problem. Clarke has purposely put out that misleading statement. 

There are terms and conditions about abandoned games. By buying a ticket a supporter accepts them terms and conditions. Usually it's free ticket / Refund if abandoned before half time. Half price entry before the 60th minute and no refund / discount  after the 60th minute. 

With that in mind I think it's quite honourable that the club are looking after those who have season tickets

I remember we once had a game abondoned at home against Notts County, think we were losing 2 nil before the abandonment after half time and I certainly remember having to at least part pay for a ticket for the.rearranged game.

Funny enough was it Devon White who scored for Notts county . Or have I got the wrong game

Can we or can't we

Economics for you don,t work then, as for best striker you are correct, shame he never played for the team, we will miss him, but we got more just waiting to piss you off waiting in the wings, cos you pricks always look for our results before you look at your own........gas logic

It shows how little ammunition they got for piss taking when they try and use a 15 million pound transfer fee . The green eyed monster does strange things to the head . 

Am I reading this right . A poor little Gashead. Is trying to take the piss out of city for selling a player for upto 15 MILLION POUNDS. Strike alight.

As my esteemed Gashead friend and potential drinking partner states, yes - England age group honours.

In fact Colkett is a team mate of your loanee Abraham and has got some very good reviews - sounds promising and I hope he can display his full potential in the rough and tumble of League 1.

A number of Chelsea fans on Twitter surprised he's gone to L1 and not the Championship.

Seems a great signing for us and I'm sure Bert is equally as excited by his joining as I am! 

Good for your lot how much they cost

That's a bit of a strange comment seeing Tammy Abraham had also not 'done anything' when you signed him.

Anything to have a bitch about us though hey!

Played for England u19s . Have these lads genuine question

I wonder if they all ran to the keeper and celebrated  . What a bizarre competition

Oh, I think the boycott has worked and a good thing too...

461 at Wimbledon
392 at Fleetwood
950 at Chesterfield

These are paltry attendances and send out a strong message - hopefully the EFL will have a long, hard think before they further try to wreck the integrity of the pyramid.

EDIT: Swansea's starting XI had squad numbers which added up to 340 more than the total attendance for their game at Wimbledon.

Good for them .

That`s probably what would have turned out for a JPT 1st round game anyway. We would have only got about 3k.

Ye agree . Is a very strange competition this year . Imagine reading u23 v Swansea u23 at Wembley. Ridiculous. Could be us next season. Imagine that Bristol city u23s v Bristol rovers . I don't think that would even be funny. Would it

Must be strange your team playing a game against u23 team . Fair shout to fans across the country for boycotting it . 1400 in attendance not much of a boycott.

This massive thread laughing at you.

Rovers are currently 18th in League One (or 62nd in the Premier League, as you will no doubt tell people), yet you have the audacity to come on here and try to take the piss out of City fans.

Just for the record, I have always said that UWE will 100% happen for Rovers, based on my own personal relationship with them. But having seen the plans UWE have not-so-secretly floated out for a large part of the plot of land that the stadium was going in in recent weeks, unless Rovers' plan is to play their games in the corridors of a student block or new business learning base, you can kiss that pipe dream goodbye once and for all.

Chew on that   

Now that would be funny

Bert is insightful, funny, intelligent and knowledgeable. Have you ever met a sag with any of the above qualities? 

Well quite.

I'm with Danny, there's no way this guy's Rovers.

That is true

 Debate is healthy.  Tell you what, meet you in the bar at the Mem before any of our upcoming league games? 100% genuine offer, not picking a fight, quite the contrary, shake each other's hand and I'll buy you a Thatchers and we can debate how best to both air our concerns and constructively support our team.

As I say, 100% no bullshit, genuine offer.  Next 3 home games Rochdale, Port Vale, Fleetwood.  Drinks on me.  Deal? 

I would say he's 100 % gas . But because he questions and has a different view to u . You got to call him out . Because you're so paranoid that a fellow saghead can be so critical. I know a few really sound sagheads and they don't think everything is rosy . And they call me a shithead just to make sure u know there proper sags . Grow up Danny and if u don't like what you read . **** off
