  1. Maybe next Thursday we should stand on our doorsteps and give a round of applause to the posters of gaschat. I mean to take the time  when the world is in such a dark place and provide more than half of our fair city with such quality light hearted entertainment to lift the spirits deserves recognition I'd say!

    On holiday in Tenerife, was walking along the seafront today with the wife and kids, both me boys (7 & 9 years old) had city shirts on and a gas **** walked past ( in his 50’s at least) and called my boys shitheads !! I was naturally fuming. My response tho was met with silence and heads down. 
    ‘happy anniversary mate’

    A grown man swearing at kids.
     

     

    The absolute lady garden !! 

    Had a similar thing the other week after a game walking along the waterfront with my girl(age 7) . She had her city shirt on and we passed a few blokes coming the other way. One shouts out '**** the city, up the g*s'. Surprisingly rather than feeling anger it was more pity, how sad that someone feels the need to shout that in front of a small child! Shows how bitter some of them are, I say some as some of my good mates are g*s and are nothing like these muppets.

  3. Grew up and still live in the wood. I'm late 40s now and when I was growing up I'd say it was about 50/50 city/rovers with the people I knew.I started watching in 77 when we were div. 1 and I think being in the top league attracted a lot of young fans whose families had no alliance to either side. With the improved ground and us playing championship football you can only see the gap in fan numbers growing if things stay the same as its a similar situation for young fans with no family ties to one team or another.

  4. I was at the Wigan game with my 7 year old daughter. She asked me "dad do Bristol Rovers have a stadium like this?" As seriously as I could manage I said" well theirs is a lot smaller and some of their stands are tents". "Tents dad?" She said and laughed her head off. Age 7 and finding the rovers amusing already!
