I'm in agreement Dave, this is very sinister. He looks to be on the take doesn't he? Profit through the demise of others.

He doesn't give a shit about the club, bought it for a quid, looking to get as much as he can back

I've been following City for 40+yrs and never as much as taken a slap of a Sag head. Not even close. 300 City fans in the away end would frighten them senseless.

Maybe some paririty in the 70's, bottleless shitbags since then

Ahh yes, this old chestnut.

Hello Sagheads you Goalie shirt obsessed stalkers.

As has been mentioned a million times, Cardiff City (as detestable as they are) are nowhere near as much of a complete ******* shambles as the Gas are.

This thread is so long because you keep giving us things to laugh at you about. 

We also actually play Cardiff City on a reasonably regular basis. Many City and Rovers fans have NEVER even seen a League Bristol Derby. That’s why so many City fans consider them our biggest rivals.

If you spent more time supporting your team and less time staring into your mobile phones trying to find out our scores then your players wouldn’t think you are a bunch of *****.

To us you’re just something to point and laugh at.

Hope that clears it up.

 

They find it so hard to differentiate between obsession and a huge pisstake

Ouch!

Imagine supporting a football club so rubbish, that your greatest moment in your history is when your biggest rivals finished the season as the 24th best team in the country, and ended the season by playing in the most famous stadium in the world, in the richest game in world football. 

…......in front of 86,000 people

No I think you will find he is right and we took over 40,000 to Wembley against Shrewsbury, we have got a massive fan base but all the sh** we have had to put up with stop a lot from going like a sh** ground for one, if the Uwe would have happened I think we would be getting crowds of 15,000 more if we were in the playoffs

Another classic. So moving to a new ground would multiply their attendances by 2? Gas logic at its finest. 

Let's be honest though, we'll never find out what a new stadium would do to their attendances as they're never getting one... 

If, the sag's favourite word

Why they go to such lengths to make up so much bullshit is beyond me 

Gaschat....

One of my everlasting football memories was signing up for the T.A. in Putney and upon leaving grabbed a pint in a pub near Putney Station. It was full of Rovers fans who were playing Fulham in a cup. The volume of fans was impressive even for a Chelsea fan. The Rovers fans were so friendly and vocal. I didn’t even know where Bristol was. I knew Bristol made good music. I checked the news later and Rovers won. Was happy for those fans. Years later I ended up living in Bristol and became a season ticket holder and now love the Gas more than my childhood team. It’s important if Rovers make the final fans travel in numbers and make Rovers fans of the future coz you never know the impression you can make. Altenatively, travelled to watch my mates team Brighton play Bristol City in 1987 and remember the sh** fans being absolute lady gardens. FTG 

 

This guy certainly ticks all the boxes in the "Am I a manual manipulator?" questionaire

Isn't it a contradiction in terms, though? Either they are loyal and true and will turn out unconditionally, or there is a latent group of supporters that will come trickling back, if the ground, team and Management structure is right?  Evidence suggests that both they and us have a combination of both throughout the Bristol and the surrounds, but we have started to tap into the latter group. My point is that both their loyal and true and latent groups are getting smaller all the time, we have tapped into ours just in time. 
I also think there is another group, the "floating voters", the ones I referred to in my post, not quite the "I support Man Utd really" type, but those who would be more likely to come to see us if the opposition was Premiership quality. Whether we like it or not, these are the people who swell the gate when we play Villa and the other ex-prem sides and who we all had to fight off to keep our tickets during the cup run. The Rovers are a long way off their radar right now.

Exactly, either you go or you don't, you're hardly "loyal" if you're waiting for perfect watching conditions before you attend games

They had an average of 6,200 on promotion.

Then averaged around 5,800 in the division above - the second tier FFS.

Loyal and true, large fan base.............my arse.

To be fair, 9 of the West Ham side had to go home at half time as they've got school in the morning.

Dont you just love how dumb and envious they are!!!

 

 

When i saw this item on news ,just knew it would create talking point on here!think we have to separate the 82ers from Bristol sport plc and then we realize nowt really changed. Bristol City play in a league just 1 tier higher than us despite all the perceived advantages they have, one bad season for them and a good one for us and on the playing side we would have a roll reversal! i am a glass half full type and realize the glass half empty types would look at the opposite scenario, but thats how it is at the moment.This development does nowt to change that and you could deduce that Landsdown is providing Bristol with facilities which the Council should be providing but show neither the desire or intent to do so and has been the case since time immoral!The costs are quite staggering and the event hall would seem to fall twixt two stools,4000 ? certainly 4 times bigger than required for the world famous Bristol Flyers (world famous in Ashton anyway!)but no where near big enough to attract major Boxing or top band Gigs after all Bristol Arena ,that was, was deemed not big enough for the like even with a 10000 + capacity , it may compete with the farcically re-branded Hall in Colston street but thats about it.In conclusion as i said this news changes nowt as far as football goes and i am not plagued with the green eyed monster!Ever since i was old enough i chose Rovers for there eternal under dog tag and backs to the wall fighting spirit, our remarkable ability to turn disaster into triumph and to make a silk cloth from a pigs ear! it has been so for all my 70 years and all you true Gas eds out there will know what i mean,i mean just a simple thing like Gas ed was meant to be a derisory term but what did we do? adopted it and now its 'our handle'throughout the football world!Old Gas eds like me will no doubt be smiling wryly at the delusions of grandeur emulating from the dark side again bless their fickle souls, !That said if the good Lord could give us some good news from the club soon it would be much appreciated!just so long its not so good we will lose our unique identity!Up the Rovers!

This "roll reversal", how would that work exactly?

Damn right, I would actually say there are more City fans here than Sags. It definitely isn't like it was 20+ years ago - and even then I think a lot of it was just brainwashing and people believed it.

A lot of City up there 40+ years ago

"it isn’t banter it’s genuine hate in many cases - apparently they can never forgive us from trying to steal their ground when they were in danger of folding. Constant references to a few of our fans indiscretions as gifts that keep giving big no acceptance or acknowledgment of their own fans constant misbehaviours. Also constant piss taking about gas fans running away from theirs i.e. the infamous Park street fracas which in my book condones violence. No references to their fans on the pitch before the end of the JPT games goading and spitting at players an interfering with play or the 2 derby games where they attacked and chased our players of their pitch. Their match against Newcastle last season and many incidences in their ground with away fans including fighting with their own v Man City. The smashing up of a family birthday party In Nottingham springs to mind - and now their fans trying to take the West Midlands police to court because they are angels and their human rights are breached. How laughable and smug they are in the comments that henbury Gas has brought their club into disrepute when it was suggested by PC Julie they have acknowledged 2 reports of an incident where a fan was attacked but not been able to talk to the victim as yet. However henbury is a pathological liar, paedophilie and needs his shop visited. Very strange and dangerous people in my book."
