Dean Holden's experience of management is what exactly? Clarke managed a 10th place finish despite losing his best player mid-season and having a striker who scored 0 goals up front with the core of a Conference team.

Really? Just because he managed Rovers? I could swear having seen a lot of City fans mocking Rovers fans for not wanting Cotterill when Darrell was sacked, genuine question.
just don't think hes good enough to be are manager and I think steve Cotterill is far to good for that shower of sh1te up the road.

Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't there a rumour he was at Ashton Gate a few weeks after Rovers sacked him, before the end of the year? Stewart's obviously a City fan but I wouldn't be shocked if LJ wanted him or Stewart as part of the management team, highly unlikely though of course, but he is a better than Holden, I think most City fans could agree with that.
no thanks don't want that ***** anywhere near our club ,woof.

I remember that signing and thinking this is too good to be true for him to play for us ... it should have worked out for both him and us .
Ive no idea why it didn’t ?
something to do with a flip flop I think.

Nearly 1000 pages of .
I’ve been thinking maybe of producing a book for Christmas based upon some absolute gems from this legendary thread.
Title choice could be interesting....
”Tinpot Bristol Rovers - The gift that keeps on giving”
or
”NOT the 6th richest club in England”
or
”BR15FC - From Ragass to Ratshit”
or
”Ted’s In The Away End”
or
”There’s only one Colin Daniel”
or
”Dissolution not Evolution”
or
”Bristol Rovers - The Family Club - Loved By All”
or
”Locked Out”
or
”BR15FC - England’s biggest Campsite”
or
”Watertight Down”
any more suggestions?

Given our last 2 massive results, I’d hazard a guess that they will be starting to shit their pants right about now as the possibility of us having another shot at going up gets ever closer, whilst they are in a relegation battle no doubt they’ll be focusing more on us in the hope that we fail, after all even if they do go down aslong as we don’t go up that’ll be a good season for them.
as long as we don't go up they will be happy.

No, not you. I was referring to someone of the username "Sniper." Who said "Get the **** off our forum you ******* bell-end. You're a ******* embarrassment to Bristol. The sooner you go into Administration and disappear up your own shite pipe the better. If it wasn't for my Mrs, she's 5ft 2 (I'm 6ft 2 and 17st of rage) and just about keeps my temper in check I'd be in a lot of trouble. Whenever I see one of you sad pathetic ******* in that puke up shirt I just want to rip your face off. Lucky for the **** in B&Q the other day as he nearly had some decking."
to be far to him their decking is half price at moment.

It was around 25,000 if memory serves me correctly.
41 minutes ago, Moments of Pleasure said:It was 42000 we took, v Walsall.
And Rovers had sold 27000 tickets for their non-league kickabout at Wembley, source: the Vanarama twitter site, on the day of their game v whoever FC.
City: 42,000
Rovers: 27,000
Try and remember these numbers, people.

Yeah, but you know that they would take 40,000 with loads of shitheads going to see them lose and not forgetting all those who would no doubt be locked out? I corrected a Gashead when they quoted 40,000 but they picked up on it instantly and said 40,000 but more aggressively.....like they do
anyone got the picture from when they won the non league runners up plate ,the one which shows every seat is full just like us .

Perhaps @bodin can point himself out to us, shouldn't be too hard...

The difference is i've used our form since Coughlan took over. Whereas Johnson has been at City for years and you've picked and chosen. You've also got a history under Johnson of poor spells in the second half of the season. The whole point is I don't think we need a club rebuild we just need a few players here and there, and there will be players of good quality available for limited funds, whether that be free agents, non-league stars of perhaps loanees. The infrastructure is obviously a problem but it's only a matter of time until the Al Qadis are forced out.
They seem to have a great squad and with players like Nathan Ake and David Brooks in their team they could reap high profits in the future on some of their players, hell, Chelsea were willing to bid £50m for Wilson apparently before they went for Higuain.
I have some mates who are City fans and we talk about performances and what not.
To take it back a few years I remember us getting in a lot of loan players in our first season in League 1. Particularly, Chelsea duo Charlie Colkett and Jake Clarke-Salter. Colkett was a great young player, seem to remember in the Chelsea youth team he was the main player that used to assist Tammy, but he struggled for game time so went back in January. Clarke-Salter was injured the majority of the time and when he finally played he was awful, got turned inside out by Lee Gregory. Somehow he's managed the eredivisie.
The ground is awful, especially the pitch last season which was atrocious. But in all honesty we always seem to have a good atmosphere, well whenever I go at least. Of course that might be mocked by City fans but I think it's true, although not a testament to our supporters really, more down to the standing conditions. But there's plenty of fans who are following clubs who are performing much better in League 1 who have awful fans. Fleetwood springs to mind. I think in the short term the quality in our squad (you may point to our position but that was down to the lack of quality in one area), might save us for a next couple of seasons. But in the long term I am worried, although I don't think we'll be competing at the bottom of League 2 anytime soon, in my opinion.
No problem mate, always happy to help. But hit me up next time you want to have an actual footballing debate rather than going "argh his a gazhed yur shite."
That's completely different though, firstly Nottingham Forest have won 2 European Cups, something Notts County won't ever achieve, and secondly I don't think we've got the potential to be the biggest in our city.
"Ipswich are understood to be paying an initial fee of £750,000, rising to £1m with bonuses."
How is losing to a non-league teams more of a justification of where our club should be or deserves to be more than the size of our fanbase? The lack of quality of a team isn't a justification of where a team deserves to be.
Doncaster, who although high in the league have lost to Wimbledon and Shrewsbury in recent weeks, and when we play them they'll probably be 7 without a win given they lose to Blackpool tomorrow.
Even Bath have a ground we can only dream of at this rate.
and after all that the fact remains your still sh**t and always have been MIND THE GAP
