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 never 'chose' to bankrupt the Club. It is unethical and screws local businesses. We should never stoop to what the sh*t did in 1982. We remain on the moral high ground in Bristol and it's always good look down on that lot south of the river for their disgusting behaviour. BRFC has been around for 135 years. The sh*t have no history. 
However - you raise a valid point. Dwane Sports could sell the Mememorial Stadium and effectively leave BRFC debt-free and homeless. Even I don't think this will happen. I am pretty damn sure that the Bankers who own our Club are well aware of the option. OK - Dwane Sports cut and run. A chance for fan ownership? (Vaughan has some ideas on this).
At this point - pretty sure we would slide down the leagues. We would have to rent somewhere to play. Obviously this is the (unlikely) nightmare scenario.
But - Does it kill the Club? Nope. We become 'like' a phoenix Club... a chance to start again with a clean sheet. Could a Club ever recover from this? Well there are plenty of examples of this happening - Wimbledon being the best. And remember they have a far smaller support base than us. 
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. 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, we'll never know. FTG.

So they have the moral high ground? 

Amazes me how they can blank out so much of their clubs behaviour. 

This would be the club that stole the Memorial Ground from Bristol FC?

No, but it's the insane jealousy that they have. This game was all over the national news and in all of the papers. Everywhere they look it's all about the gurt Teds and they just want to blank it all out but they can't.

To add to their pain the pundits are dropping in compliments galore about Bristol City which leave the sad Sags seething with rage. How can anyone compliment The Shit and not compliment the Sags as well?! In the mind of a Narcissistic Sag a compliment towards Bristol City is a direct attack on Bristol Rovers. They are plebs, tools, goons, neanderthals.

This was direct focus on the Teds and they hated every second of it.

Where promotion is concerned we are one of many clubs in the hunt. It's not "all about the shit" and how they are "Premier League club in waiting"....Oh **** me they really hated that one!

Sad in both senses of the word. To be fair, genuine Gasheads I've met have ben nothing but complimentary.

Possibly when they played Bradford away?? Seem to remember watching them lose a lunchtime kickoff a few months ago.

Now our fans never lose a lunchtime kickoff 

Or am I missing something here?

Brilliant!

The real joy is that most of the Gas wouldn't get it.

Less fortunate than Havana in that I have not recovered from illness in time to attend. Intensely frustrating, but will have to rely on you guys and the customary lifeless commentary from RB. Have a feeling it could be a scrappy affair today, but that we might scrape a tense 1-0 win from a poor match. Hope I’m wrong about the quality and right about the result. Enjoy, all you lucky enough to be in attendance.

As Horace said elsewhere, those are the games that win titles...
