1976

Gates were already falling rapidly at Eastville by then. I think they only topped 10000 a couple of times that season. On the day we went to Arsenal that August they had about 4,000 at home in opening day.

Cheers mate 75/76 still very decent. They were shot by August 76.

75% Your having a laugh. City had the whole of the Muller road ( say 6 to 7000 ) the rest was virtually all Rovers. And City fans think Rovers fans exaggerate.

This was 75 easter ? "Battle of Bristol" in the national press as I recall. Someone should be able to get hold of that. Dont want to get into an old hooligan debate because certain types will pounce on that but I was definitely in the know back then and Rovers had a very fine mob in 74/75.

I doubt if they'll notice that. They're too busy obsessing about their enormous travelling support.

To be fair if it was 800 that is pretty good for midweek to Sheffield.

Now see all you Tent boys - that is being gracious you should try it some time.

It doesn't matter sonny.... I care only for the Gas and laugh at comments like yours..'complete and utter superiority'...over us! yep, if that is the extent of your clubs ambition what else can we do but laugh...

Some suggestions :

Avoid seeing such comments. Now I know that will greatly affect your social life and those of an increasing number of your friends but stay the **** away from this forum just a thought ? I mean where else do you hear such comments ?

Suck it up and accept that Rovers is an inferior outfit in every way and say nice things about us..

The fact that you appear to have a choice on our forum as opposed to the policy of asschat towards fans of different teams reinforces the divide.

 Tent Boys

I like that - the name I mean mind..

Is it just me or are other people getting a bit fed up of the latitude shown to 15ers who come onto OUR forum - we reserve the right to take the piss out of them but I don't recall them actually being invited to come on here and defend the indefensible ?

I mean its not like the courtesy is reciprocated now is it...

26 minutes ago, st andrews gas said:

yeah, truth in that- I'll be more direct in the future as to demanding the truth from those to whom I  speak from those clubs...

Yep and when you establish the facts why don't you keep it to yourself or share it with your fellow Rovers fans on a Rovers forum.

..no truer words spoken as the fourteen thousandth post on your most popular thread. Every day.

And you have contributed 81 posts on another club's forum you silly****.

You will be told by die hard arse lickers of Mr Robinson that it wasn't possible to bring in quality because of the short time between the end of the playoffs and the start of the season. I dont actually believe this. There are loads of quality players in the southern hemisphere and Bristol is due to pick up a couple in November - just a couple mind along with the other past sell by date players who were brought in..

The squad is maybe the largest in the division and also the weakest. Therefore whoever is in charge of player recruitment and retention isn't doing a very god job.

Robinson had three seasons to get it right with a relatively massive budget and limped over the line in May. He may get it right this season but I doubt it. SL seemed surprised at only 5000 ST sales but its clear there are lots of fans who are very disappointed at the business done in the summer and are waiting to see what happens over the next couple of months.

Tye difference with Steve Cotterill is that he used the relatively big budget well and smashed the league below. If you believe the rumours his Championship targets weren't backed and the rest in history (SC simply had to go)

As things stand the two rivals for the drop look far better than Bristol so SL needs to stop trusting his mucker Mr Booy and get some quality people into the club asap.

Theres a salary cap all clubs must adhere to plus you can sign a "marquee" player that doesn't affect the cap. All loose change to SL

The question people should ask is which other Premiership club would have Andy Robinson as its coach ?  he is the problem so far as i'm concerned.

That's the thing, I do have a soh, some of you take this football rivalry so seriously it's unreal, they should really be of little interest to us and vice versa, however I do understand why they might want to goad us, but to actually put up their goading posts on here is just falling into the trap they set. 

Laughing at someone or something that is less fortunate then yourself(s) does not denote having a sense of humour Monkeh,       

Why not ignore this thread ?

As moderators of this forum, we merge any sag related chat into this thread. Since this thread started there has been approximately 400k posts on here, 13k in this thread (at least a thousand of which from our unfortunate blue cousins - who we don't ban just for registering unlike sagchat). 

This means that even with the sags contributing to the thread and encouraging involvement, just over 3% of the posts are to do with the gas. 

Put another way, if you had an hour chatting to your City mate, this would represent 2 minutes laughing at the gas and 58 minutes talking about City. 

This should be produced every time one of those cockwombles refers to our "obsession" with them.

Thank you Ian.

I know it stands out like a sore thumb, why we let moronic sags post on here is beyond me.

Purple = a bit of red and a bit of blue...agree with you btw.

 look Bert has said he's a true blue, you all say he's a Rovers supporter, so obviously he is.  And as such, it's nice to put a face to an Internet name especially if it's a fellow fan.  After all there's so few of us ("the blue few").

So I can understand if Bert doesn't want a friendly pint etc (I'm sure he attends with his own social group and as such doesn't feel the need to share a pint with another supporter) but my offer is there to shake his hand at any game we are both at - I get to about 70 or 80% of home games these days due to work and family constraints and it would be nice to put a face to the name of a fellow fan! 

Patently a threat.

Why don't you **** off to your own forum if you don't like what Bert has to say or send him a pm on asschat as you are both on there no doubt ? I can assure you he defends your club like Miah but he isn't as blinkered and deluded as most of you.

I support both North Bristol clubs. Your new stadium is undeniably superb but I'd rather Bris were still playing at home.

 

Bristol rugby is called Bristol rugby because it irepresents Bristol and they have a home called Ashton Gate. You are patently a Rovers fan first and foremost because no true Bristol rugby fan would continue to line the pockets of an organisation that stitched up the rugby club so disgracefuly  I'm glad incidentally that you support the rugby club North Bristol as teams in the Gloucestershire Premier league need as much support as possible and of course their facilities are better than those at the Mem.

Genuine question, why did you lot boycott the league cup game with Scunny?

 

Genuine question gas sniffer : How many would your lot take to Scunthorpe midweek to watch your reserves ? Take 4k to Coventry and MK then come back and crow you stupid cu nt.

Its all relative though isn't it. perhaps alright compared to some of the pricks but an Olympic standard belter nonetheless with 1200 ******* posts for chrissakes.

Trust me you need to take your unique style elsewhere. Perhaps confine yourself to Asschat where you truly belong.

Hooray .. do I get a medal now ???

 

I don't even belong on there .. well don't even post on there ... fact ... I belong to the Facebook group that's it so cut the crap

You don't belong here either. You are (or have been) tolerated nothing more than that. You add fuckall to this thread unlike Bert and Miah who back your team but actually contribute. I think you have run your course so take yourself to the Yate or Mangos forum.

Could this topic be placed in a subforum.  I think this inane dross has gone on long enough.

I am fed up with checking in to this site and finding Bristol Rovers topic of conversation.

It seems we now have Bristol Rovers followers on here to check out what is happening at their club.

Don't read it then. Quite simple really.

7 changes from their last League match, same as us last night and I'm pretty sure you could say we more or less played our reserves. It certainly wasn't a full strength Chelsea side. Still plenty good enough to beat most teams but not full strength.

Please dont compare the depth of our squad with Chelsea's Rich ? Enough people have commented that Chelsea didn't send out a reserve team combo and based upon both distant and recent history I am certain we would have taken more there than the gas.

Not obsessed just ******* hate you pricks and we like to take the piss out of you amongst ourselves so what exactly prompted you to take the trouble of registering for another clubs forum ? You are clearly a stalker and they are most certainly obsessive.
