They do struggle with numbers and figures that lot. 

I mean the manager rated their star striker at £10,000,000 and then sold him two weeks later for £300,000........

Is Diane Abbot a gas head?

The gas took 26000 fans to their play off final and most of the top section was not open and yet they are still claiming on gasshat they took 32000 supporters, this is lie.

Why are they so  obsessed with attendances, it is a bit pathetic.

They go on and on about how many fans they could  but the facts are they are a poorly supported team.

The atmosphere for that Louis Donawa game was incredible, the best I've ever experienced at a Derby game, was it the game where loads were locked out, even season ticket holders? Whichever game that was I was one of the ones locked out and hundreds just charged the gates of the Williams and stormed in

No that was a different game.

I was locked out of the Louis Donawa game which was in 1991, I remember getting back to my flat in Redcliffe and hearing the noise from the crowd.  There was still terracing at that game in 1991 and yet there was still 100s locked out because these matches was never all ticket.

The Williams gates was forced in about 95/96 , it was the first season we played Rovers having been relegated back to the 3rd tier. The capacity was now just over 20,000 but it was still pay on the day as before, but over 25,000 turned up, gates was forced and both 1000s of City and Rovers fans were locked out.

Did more fans turn up to watch that derby match than ever before or should we take the attendances of Rovers and even Swindon matches during the 80s and early 90s with a massive pinch of salt.

Points West now FFS. I want to kill myself.

Have you ever seen anything more cringeworthy?

Yes, have you ever seen such a bunch of naval gazing, self obsessed football fans.

That piece on the tele wasn't just cringeworthy but vomit inducing.

Their  over inflated opinion of themselves is truly a sign of some sort of  mental disorder.

Why do they feel the need to write countless books about going on away trips to such footballing hotspots such as  Basingstoke and a football season about an below average team in the basement of the football  league.

I thought they had to build a car park this month at UWE otherwise they will have to reapply for planning permission.

Who getting free tickets for the football? City ST holders will get a free ticket for the rugby at the end of the month.

It is amazing how they just make things up and they all treat this as facts. Rovers fans are the Donald Trump of football.

Only due to their own failings.

So  by that (#tedlogic) does that mean if either were to get relegated again that instantly makes us better? Of course not you belter.

You will never make the Premiership as you are bottlers for the big occasions. Considering you have a billionaire covering your debts I'd be asking why a club like Bournemouth  can buy their way in but you still struggle in the league below, and best players are borrowed. I guess Lansdown already has the Premiership club he always wanted...

If you are so far ahead of little old Rovers why do you still deem us important enough to have this as your top 5 threads each day, even after 2 successive promotions and sitting in a league you were struggling in not that long ago under Mcwinless?

If any other club needed proof what a narrow minded lot you are then a look through this thread is all they would need.

Anyway, you can all go back to admiring your dicks in a mirror, just make sure its the right way around as you may be looking at the magnified side.

 

Ok Mcwinless didn't manage us in L1, secondly we were only in L1 for two seasons and in our second season we won the league by a country mile and the JPT.

Don't you have two Chelsea players on loan.

Most of you thread on your forum always mention City, it's just we have a single thread , there is no other mention on you on any other threads.

Yes we do ask why a club like Bournemouth can get in the Premiership and do know what is a hell of a league to get out of, so fair play to Bournemouth but we will be knocking on the door this season, not just my view but views of respected pundits and some of the top football journalist in the country.

Not sure how you can claim we bottle the big occasion , we got in the Championship play off in 08 ( this is not even a dream for your lot but a fantasy beyond all your expections) and lost but we all loved that season and no City fans have any regret , so how can you claim the team of 16-17 are bottlers that is just silly just like your post which are factually incorrect and full of nonsense.

Do we want our football club to be owned by local people who made good and  have the club , the community and the City at the heart of what they want to achieve. 

Or the club to be owned by overseas  Arab business men who come to England on a big ego trip trying to make name for themselves.

I always find it slightly disconcerting that Rovers fans users Jordians flags for their avitars on line.   I never saw Cardiff or Man City fans using flags of their foreign owners.

Rovers made a great play in the past about them being a grass root club , than a foreign owner comes along promising riches and quickly they sold their principals quicker than the Lib Dems trying to get into a coalition government.

I see that's  rovers have only sold 56 tickets so far for their trip to Sheff Utd. Worst supporters in the country, that is a fact because all the fans of other clubs I speak to really hate the gas and much prefer City.

Read the article , complete drivel from  someone from Swindon, which possible the most tedious boring awful place in the country , who's football teams have been involved in more financial scandal you can wave a stick at.  And yet those Gas numpties are lapping up.

What the gas scum keeps forgetting is that other fans don't like us because we are either a rival of them or they are jealous of us , the gas are irrelevant

Philgas  is a typical gas head. Wants to portray themselves has plucky old Rovers who are the family club and are everyone else's 2nd favourite club because they have the best fans in the world, and then want to claim they have some of the top hooligans in the country. You and your fans and  the club as all are a complete joke.  

Your club is really beyond parody.

Back to Back promotion from the conference to League is very common, and then that club reaches its level. It just shows how bad the Conference and League 2.

Yeovil Town, Fleetwood, Stevenage all have done back to back promotions in recent years.  But obviously the gas will be claiming that their back to back promotion is unique

For god's sake - do you honestly I think I am actually going to take that 'rant' to heart- says more about your own personal gripe with what other Rovers fans have said - aim your pathetic comments to yourself or those whom YOU personally know who made them.. I never did..do I 'protest' ...no...am I 'hurting inside' no... have I said that our chairman isn't the 6th richest man in the planet on YOUR forum...YES...

 

May I suggest 20 milligrams of valium and a pair of reading glasses...

Come on admit it. On that Friday when the take over was announced you did dare to dream.

There we go again, another stereotypical assumption that all us Rovers fans think the chairman is going to spend millions...I don't for a moment. He's a businessman and will take his cut where he can..now where that comes from who knows. We'll have to go up first, and then there won't be any more income to pick the bones from. As for Taylor v's kodjia- close call, Taylor seems to be getting better all the time, and as you are the only 'billiionaires' outside the premier league no doubt you'd offer for him..cost you a few camels mind....

Most of your fans are claiming that he is a Billionaire. 

BBC Football Focus on Saturday claimed he was a Billionaire.

Made in Bristol TV yesterday called him a Billionaire,

There is a disconnect here, when he took over Rovers why did all you fans assume the UWE Stadium will get built? Answer because it was announced he was a billionaire and that the outcome of the judicial reveiw had no bearing on Rovers ability to build their new staduim, and yet you are no further forward in you dream than when Higgs was Chairman.

Lets face it, you have been taken in by a fake shake and now you are to embarrassed to admit the truth or claim all along that you knew he wasn't the 6th richest man on the planet. 

Inside yourself you are hurting, you and your Gas mates thought you won the lottery, you did buy you lost the ticket, how does it feel.?

The more you protest the more joy I get out of you , so keep telling everyone on here that he is a bussiness man and he won't be throwing his money at Rovers, while we are happy to sit in a state of the art brand new Ashton Gate funded by OUR Billionaire owner, in the knowledge of knowing if we have a good season in the transfere market we can be challenging in the top half of the Championship and we a little luck, who Knows.

Whatever happens and whater division we are in, it is at least possible to beleive a better future after Higgs nearly gambled it all away.

I am not taken in by the bluster and speculation of how much the Al Qadis are or arent worth, but they at least seem to come over a damn site more business savvy then.the last lot.

Hopefully we go up and with you lot safe in the championship things will be positive for football in Bristol at least. Maybe in the Rugby as well if they dont screw up again.

Hopefully we can.join you in the championship in the near future and not necessarily 3.promotions on the bounce

Your full off BS mate, every one and I mean every one connected Bristol Rovers from the tea lady, fans, and Gas Heads who  work in the media , belived that your man was a mutli mutli billionaire, on the same level as the Man City owners and you all thought you will be in the prem in a few season and playing in the champions leauge.

As it turns out you still can't even afford to build your cheap souless bowl of a stadium at UWE but you might build a car park there in October. 

DC and the team as done well this season but he will not be the first to get promoted from the Conference and then go on toget promoted the following season to L1, it is a regular occurrence. 

If you do or don't get promoted this season will you have the biggest budget in L1 or L2 if not why not , after all he is the 6th richest man in the world, this is not me claiming this but your fans on national radio . Your fans made these claims on radio phone in and not once  did the local media the ex board or current board quash these rumours.

I went to birmingham last week for work and got chatting to some West Brom fans and they mention the Rovers take over by Billionaire Arabs  and how they are going to do a Man City, when I told them he is not as wealthy as first thought and they still can't affford to build thier new stadium, they did have a little chuckle. 

You have again became a laughing stock.

Interesting conversation with someone who claims to be ITK at Rovers. The new owners beleive they have been fooled by the previous owner and there is no value in the deal. There is nothing tangible on the new ground negotiations and they may take action to recover some of their money. This may be rumour, or in the weeks / months to come you may say "Pongo told us first"

If you ask for my sauce all I can say is red sauce on a sausage sandwich and brown sauce on a bacon sandwich. 

The day  they took over the gas , so called news outlets, Bristol post , Radio Bristol were claiming that they were now going full steam ahead with the UWE stadium  and the High court case had no bearing on the build of the UWE stadium, so it also seems that so called professional journalist also have been fooled.

But they have not yet  reported  honestly and retracted the claims that the gas new owner is one of the worlds richest men and this will make Rovers a footballing super power because thier credability will be in tatters.

Geoff Twentyman who is one of the biggest cheer leaders for the gas and BBC points west David Garmson who is also gas must be regretting  the way they got   carried away with all the hype when the take over was done. They  along with others in the local press got far to carried away and didn't do their job.

Rovers good form at the momment is nothing to do with new board, credit to dopey Dazzer he is not doing a bad job ( I do hope they crash and burn) so I think questions about their new board is not being asked by their support, however come the summer will they have money to make big signings or even money to keep hold of thier best players, my guest is no and then it will dawn on the numb skulls that they have also been taken in and Higgs co will be laughing all the way to the bank.

@Jack Firstly Chris Brown DID keep a diary and I know that for a fact. The book IS therefore based upon real events but like Henry V said pre Agincourt participants will embellish those facts. I would say therefore that we are looking at five hours rather than 25 years. Indeed I also know for a fact that he researched "incidents" with former foes on our side of the fence to ensure he got the "who hit whom when" correct.I don't know if you have read the book Jack but despite bunging up the Rovers on occasion it is undoubtedly one of the best of it's type offering a snapshot of life for a teenage lad throughout the 70's in terms of agro (of course) clothes music non football hellraising and relationships.

Regarding earlier comments about their chaplain I have met Dave J in his current "form" and you will be hard pressed to find a better person and certainly someone who became very close to our man Divvy in his latter days .

As for the large men I could name them for you and people of a certain age will know exactly who I am talking about - and they were certainly large if you were a 16/17 year old in different colours !

I have know the Chaplin since the 1980s, back then City had one of the most violent element in the country, Rovers had a half decent mob but the  gas wasn't in our leauge , ask the chaplin and he will tell you the same. 

The gas had a small nasty element who drove around North and East Bristol looking for young City fans wearing colours to attack.

Sainsburys have won the appeal.   But it makes no difference to rover's getting a stadium, starts in summer.   Also now debt free according to companies house.

So if the Sainsbury appeal makes no difference to the UWE build. Why aren't the diggers up there preparing the ground. Why wait till the summer.

No one at Rovers as confirmed that UWE stadium is going ahead.

Still more questions than answers coming out the Mem.

Can we change the thread title to Bullsh1t Rovers

I am not suggesting that UWE will give up or sell the land, just that i imagine the Al-Qadis as business people money men will explore all opportunities.

 

As the deal stands the UWE name creates no revenue other than to build the ground when Rovers didnt have any cash and needed Sainsburys.

 

Now we can finance the project either through personal wealth or acees to investors being in that field and thus any naming rights be it AJIB or Joe Bloggs trading would create reveune for the club FFP and all that

 

There is other land out there to be developed. Whether The Al Qadis can get in on that i dont know but surey as investment bankers and Hoteliers they would be foolish to not enquire.

 

Maybe nothing will come of it but i would argue they have the responsibility to eye it up

If you owner was has wealthy as you suggest why would you need to sale naming rights. We still play at Ashton Gate , could have sold naming rights years ago but  we never sold out.

The supporters of this club and owner have a heart and soul something you numptys have never really had .

17 minutes ago, Hello said:

They arent building it straight off as they want to renegotiate the deal with UWE i suspect.

 

Previously we had no money and sale/leaseback of land and naming rights with UWE were required to finance the stadium.

I imagine Mr.Al-Qadi will want to be able to sell naming rights to whom he wants or name it the AJIB stadium an d pay Rovers creating Revenue.

 

There is also other land there with PP for Hotel etc that they are probably interested in

So UWE are willing to sell off their land are they , so whats in it for UWE apart from a quick buck.

I also thought that UWE staduim was a unique partnership between football club and Univeristy  and that what made it special and more than just another staduim not my words but your fans on Radio Bristol. 

Again you have shown to have no ethics and are deluded in thinking UWE will just sale to you after all they have invested into the project.
