BS15 is Kingswood - and how people still seem to think it is mainly a Rovers area is beyond me. It may well have slightly been years ago (and even how is was perceived years ago was way over the top imo). There are definitely more Reds than Blue in Kingswood - and counting....

I thought it was their heartland?

Have a lot of Sheffield United mates from my time up in Sheffield working for HSBC, rate him very highly. So I'd disagree, but I also thought Little was too good for us and he's been awful when he has played this season. 

Little is great going forward in a good team like when he played for us and Peterborough, when not in such a good team and he has actually got to do some defending he is not great

Would be surprised if you genuinely haven’t. Was a key figure for Sheffield United in their first season back in the Championship, and was fantastic at Wycombe. Much too good for League 1 in my opinion. 

Why should I know the name of a Wycombe keeper or the Sheff U keeper from 3 years ago? 

If he was that good he wouldn't be going to Rovers

They might want to move the bus stop closer to Ashton Gate. If they make that momentus achievement with the Council/Opertors it doesn’t necessarily mean the bus will stop at it! They regularly fly past the stop located at The Cumberland Basin stop when they see football supporters waiting.

If I was Steve Lansdown, I’d rip into this pathetic excuse of a mayor and embarrass him on the national stage. Think Sir Steve has a greater media platform than some jumped-up politician.

We could start with the investment Steve’s made in Bristol, the PR, the income generated and then turn to the dear ‘Mr Fix It’ Mayor. Highlight the 1000 space park and ride that stands empty next to the stadium during matches and has done for the past decade while local streets are congested with parked cars, the new multi-million pound Metrobus ‘service’ that takes in as many congested roundabouts and the most tortuous route possible from The Centre to Ashton Gate and has no stop next to the Ground and no buses that stop for football supporters, the railway next to the Ground that has been derelict for decades and when planned to open doesn’t has a stop for an entertainment venue that is the largest in the region ...and on and on.

 

Oh, nearly forgot, to cap it all off and make access to the Ground virtually impossible by any means ... the proposed diesel exclusion zone taking in the biggest open area in Bristol with the least impact on residents health ..unsurprisingly being the key access road to The Gate. 

Seriously, only a bitter Mayoral Saghead  who wants to prevent City achieving anything could come up with such crap. 

 

We'll have chance to vote him out in 3 months but don't hold your breath that his successor will be any better

TBF to Wael , I think when he gives deadlines, he is using them in the Boris Johnson sense, rather than the way normal people use them.

Is he as big a liar as Boris?

I'm surprised this wasn't already being done with the thousands that go and watch them! Also where is Wormley, Bradley Stone and Cleve?!

This is a right laugh, they are comparing 6000 gas fans with the 26000 at the Amex, this will prove a loss maker from day one

Agreed not bad at all but they would have you think it's incredible. Something they do all the time and we don't. Btw Charlton was a complete pain in the ass getting to and from compared to previous times.

What was incredible was Pompey taking 5000  to MK on boxing day

2 reasons.

1) they had train travel available to them, we didn’t.

2) apparently they travel everywhere in humongous numbers, we know this because they tell everyone...constantly. You’d think, listening to their bullshit, that they’d easily beat the 5k+ we took to MK, especially as they are in the hunt for promotion. 
 

Still, it’s better than the 3-500 they usually take away so well done them.

I'm happy to laugh at the deluded idiots as much as the next person but I think taking 1200 to MK on a NYD isn't bad

No idea sorry, I’m awful at judging numbers from a photo...

 

Just seen it was 1300, not awful but only a quarter of what we took whilst in league one...

That's decent enough, don't get why we are trying to take the piss when it's more than we took to Charlton

See the new Manager was “at it” already yesterday praising the blue hordes that made it to Fleetwood. He knows....... give the Saggies a bit of praise and you literally  have a free ride for 12 months.

Has he said they are 'different class' yet? 

Totally unproven, had it easy so far now has to try to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear

Unbelievable.  Had the worst week football wise in ages and on my way home from the gate, I heard Cockman on the radio saying that he had some important decisions to make rather than revelling in the glory of a good away win.  

Rather forgot about it for a few hours, then came here and read that it seems he has probably gone to Mansfield.  That certainly turned around my fairly miserable week, that did.

You can imagine the conversation with Wally though:

"So oive got you to 4th,  How abouts a poy roise"

"Sorry mate, we've got no dough"

"Backin in da Janry winda den?"

"Maybe we can get a couple of camels you can trade for a donkey"

"oi need marr dan dat.  Hows about some decent facilities"

"Well these things take time bud"

"What straws can yer offer moi den?

"Might be able to get you a fruit market in a couple of years if we can get a few mugs to stump up the cash" 

"Foine den yer dick.  Oim off ter Mansfield den".

 

 

I really don't get this stereotypical Irish talk. Badly tarmacked drives, bushy eyebrows, horses on council estates, beamish,  der's more to Ireland dan dis

You’re kinda missing the point 42nite............I consider the entire Rovers thread as immature and why I very rarely contribute to it.

Why oh why do we see 1200 pages dedicated to the Gas when they’re an insignificant lower league outfit who on their forum have nothing like as many threads dedicated to us?  By otib posters repeatedly adding to the Rovers dustbin thread is simply giving the gas acknowledgement.

I’ll ask again - why? 

Because its the funniest thread ever seen on a football forum

We have a dismal record in the FA Cup, particularly against non league teams. Having said that, I think we are an okay side this season, so it's by no means a foregone conclusion!

They are non league, you should beat them, past records against non league teams don't come into it

Dunno mate but don't be surprised if he doesn't get in again.

The problem isis that he has a loyal following in an election in what will be a low turn out in next May's election, never missed voting in an election in my life and have always put my X loyally in the Labour box but after he stitched up South Bristol by shifting the arena to S. Glos I cannot vote for this man.

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.

Absolute morons, so bitter
