Those of you old enough to remember will know that the away section at the Mem is uncovered, so prepare in case of bad weather next season.

I used to watch rugby there until you stole it

Got to be a bit annoying for you though hasn't it?

Not so long ago you were gloating about being the 5th richest club in the world and looking forward to the arrival of Messi et al.  Now you're just happy with tents, canopies and sprinklers

I remember the village idiot telling me they were richer than Chelsea and man city

Oh dear!! Rovers were lucky for over a decade!!!   Relax, it's just a sport.

I wouldn't call it luck but you were playing in a shit non league ground with a sloping pitch which gave you a slight advantage,a bit like when big clubs play smaller clubs in the fa cup .we only managed to win there once in the league in ten years but didn't have any problem at the memorial ground

Anyway, happy new year to everyone, and just to make you feel really old, it was 30 years ago today that one of the most one side derbies I have ever been to ever took place. You absolutely battered us for 89 minutes  

Was that the last time you beat us in the league seems like it

Now Lee has gone 3-5-2.

So I'm sure they have spent hours practising this formation - not.

Really think he is out of his depth in this league. We need to invest in a proven, experienced championship manager. If we are gonna buy youngsters we need a wily, experienced manager who knows how best to organise them. Not a load of rookies led by a rookie.

I was brought up in Fishponds which was solidly Gas when I was there, and have pretty much lived in St.George/Hanham most of my adult life, and it's fair to say there has always been a fairly even split in those two areas, I have discussed this with a few City mates brought up in the area, and the general concensus as that while Eastville may have been geographically closer, bus routes made it easier to get to Ashton. I do think it's a fair point that if you asked the entire population of Bristol to express a preference, it may come out evenish, but what really matters of course is getting people to games, which- certainly in my lifetime- City have always had the upper hand in,

I think we did miss out on a whole generation while we were in Bath, and that has certainly changed the traditional north/south split for the foreseeable future (especially while you remain in higher divisions). Bizzarely, I think Rovers biggest hope of being 'top dog' in this aspect won't lie in any new stadium (which btw I will believe when I'm sat in it), but more in people turning their backs on the ridiculous pricing and increasingly sterile atmosphere in the top two divisions, and look for a cheaper/more nostalgic way to watch football.

Anyway, anyone walking down my lane in a City shirt runs a very real risk of me shouting out 'Sheeethead' from the safety of my living room

 

even though my three nephews live right next door to the memorial ground they made it pretty clear there was no way they would step foot in that sh**thole .

when I was a kid I use to catch the no 19 bus from southville up to fishponds to see my mates ,even though the bus went right past the rovers ground I never once saw any gasheads on that bus

Brilliant, we have more fans because the bus routes.

 

Me: Dad dad let's go watch Rovers!

Dad; They're a good team and I like them but it's easier to get to the City! Let's start supporting them.

I have always said that there are 2 sets of support in Bristol. Us city fans and then there are anti-city fans, these are the fans that the gas claim as their own!!

All city in portishead , just the odd gashed now and again.

I also played for a team in portishead everyone was city apart from one gashead and he was the same one that played for the pub team in downend .

This season's attendances would suggest it is about 30%.

That blue "half" of Bristol line peddled by the local media (and them) has been a myth for years.

back in the nineties I played football for a pub team in downend  in what is supposed to be an all rovers area ,everyone in the team was city apart from gashead and in the pub ninety percent of the locals were city.
