I think you may have somewhat over reacted on this one , it's quite funny, nothing more, nothing less If anyone was genuinely upset that 'their woman' or child caught a fleeting glimpse of a scantily clad woman then they should seriously consider moving to a remote island with no access to any kind of nastiness from the outside world.(Cue jokes about nasty football clubs)

Yep.

I reckon its funny because its typically shambolic of them but as for the moral outrage (even if a bit tongue in cheek)......

Consider RnB videos folks, the performers and content of which the kids absolutely love.

Aren’t they, us and 90 odd% of League clubs, loss making companies..? 

Yes mate but that particular loss making company is bankrolled by Bristol ratepayers the majority of which would prefer that sponsorship to go elsewhere. 

I think something should be done about this and questions asked of the Mayor.

I see the stand is sponsored by Bristol energy , isn’t that the loss making company ? 

A great match then  

Owned by the Council aren't they? How does that work then, bearing in mind that most ratepayers who give a shit about local football do not follow those arseholes.

Can we expect similar sponsorship ?

So taxpayers in Bristol have so far given/invested a total of 19million in this loss making energy firm, and they can seemingly 'afford' to sponsor Rovers.

Me thinks it might be time to ask Marvellous Marvin how much sponsorship he is authorising down BS3 this year.....

Quite so Rob.

"It is with great disappointment that we have to inform supporters that the two new stands due to be installed this summer will now not be ready in time for the start of the season."

No doubt the tent sponsors will now withdraw support.

The last statement I saw was about Brexit so presumably this is connected with that..

Thing is, most people enjoy the misfortune of others.

I'm fairly sure that being a Rovers fan you have to enjoy your own misfortune.

Those shitheads can crow and strut, but I've never known a single ted that hasn't begrudgingly admired the fact that as sh** as we always are, we still love the Gas.

In many ways, more than they could ever love their plastic franchise.

 

What is this specimen on about. So because rovers are shit . We admire them and tell them what fantastic supporters they are . ******* unbelievable. 

Well this shithead thinks you are shit your support is shit . And you constantly chat shit . 

Anything to make themselves feel better. 

I just googled the meaning of a Franchise in case it has been rebadged to another activity, or I completely misunderstood the structure of Bristol City/Bristol Sport ..

"A franchise business is a business in which the owners, or "franchisors", sell the rights to their business logo, name, and model to third party retail outlets, owned by independent, third party operators, called "franchisees". 

If anyone has a bogus account  on asschat could you educate the ******* idiots for their own good please because this term of endearment doesn't quite work and the sooner at least some of those poor folk realise that the better.

Really?  I thought Webster often looked nervous and panicky. And would Forest have scored their goal with Flint there? Probably not.

As for our creativity, we fielded two potentially strong wingers, started well and scored a goal after getting a corner from creating an overload on the left. After that, we seemed not to get the ball to them enough - particularly ODowda. I didn’t think he was poor, but that he didn’t get given the ball in any potentially good situations.

To me, with Eliasson and O’ Dowda there, we need to ensure the full backs combine properly with them. They have the ability to penetrate well if they can get some space out wide. I don’t think we’ll do it through the middle so often.

In didnt see it today but I really think ODowda could kick on this season if he stays fit and we play wide.  What was the verdict ?

So, reading into the near future the club will announce plans for ground sharing with Bath City whilst the rugby ground is developed.

This will run into problems and will go on indefinitely until all of a sudden an announcement is made that the ground has been sold for housing leaving the fake sheik to disappear like a mirage back to watching football at Stamford Bridge.

Then see the campaign led by the local rag and north and east Bristol MP's for a ground share with us "for the benefit of all sports fans in the city|".

Don’t think it’ll be long until R*vers turn on Wael and start protesting for him to go. 

 

Especially if there’s no news on the new training ground by Christmas time. 

A few mates of mine who support that lot are very worried, not for the next season but to actually have a club to support. If they go down Wael won’t invest to get them back up again anytime soon whilst draining whatever assets they have left. 

 

Its a fantastic time to be supporting City. We are financially sound, great youth coming through, fantastic facilities and wealthy backer willing to put money into the club....... one day sag heads you might know what it feels like 

Perhaps thats what he wants so he can walk away and take his thirty bob with him and leave the real owners to strip away at the assets.

Laughing at the fact they got a fee for a player...?! 

Soon they might realise that generally, in most cases, that is how football works..!

What they should be concerning themselves with is that its yet another of their “Better players” leaving for relative peanuts. At least in Harrison’s case it’s more like half a bag of peanuts, rather than the usual couple of peanuts from down the back of the sofa..! 

So Gas currency has now changed from a Tilson to a Harrison, or are we still talking multiple Tilson's ?

Harry is absolutely right.the plum who filmed that side of Park Street has even succeeded in grassing up his own mates, particularly bearing in mind the team photo they took outside the White Hart, very helpful indeed to A&SP...

I can understand ordinary people filming something like that, but the so called GHS  wannabe nawty geezer has dropped a bollock there.

"Knowing your market

These seems to be quite a look of "facility envy", but while the Mem cannot compete with Ashton Gate, or even any other stadium in the country for events, why doesn't the marketing dept try and get more bookings based on what we have?

I have been to several Gashead wedding receptions in very poor rooms in tacky venues and surely the Mem is the epitome of poor and tacky?

If we are to be successful we need the stadium to be in use more than 50 days a year before it is condemned as a public eyesore.

There must be a prospective market, it is up to the stadium marketing staff to be pro actice and go out and get new business. Small profits at loads of car boot sales is better than trying to use it for football.

Perhaps our venue has been used as an excuse for below average players and we need to get even more over-paid under-qualified suits to help move the club further backwards again.

We may not have made loads from the World Cup games but even if only 40,000 people turned up (as we get anytime we prowdly go to Wembly), we should still expect to manage the potential attendance and make a huge loss."

Of course mate, it’s just the insinuation from that cretin Henbury Gas that us City fans would stand idly by and let something as utterly disgusting happen without intervening that pisses me right off. 

I’m fed right up of them trying to take some imaginary morale high ground all the time. I know delusion is in the makeup of the average Sag, but this is beyond a joke.

It’s time Henbury Gas put up, or was shut up. Before this I’ve delivered to his shop, if I had to do so again, job or no job, I’d confront him about this.

Agree but short of Wicker Man (original) treatment he will carry on. Wouldnt have happened in bygone years and probably just as well.

Normally I’d agree, but in this case, I think Henbury Gas needs to be brought to book, show his evidence, or be proved to be a lieing piece of shit that we all pretty much know him to be.

No argument mate just came out of an uncharacteristic moment. Club wont lower itself just yet I suspect.

To be fair to BS it is ignoring unsubstantiated bollocks.

Rising above it and all that.

Plenty of fertile ground to rinse the methane snorters.
