“Packed out” - riiiiiiiiiight. 6005 in attendance. And Oldham brought more than five, I’m sure. Packed out my hirsute Wessex posterior.

Let’s explain the subtle difference in language they can understand: ”A horde of Gasheads were locked out at Braintree Town.” ”They hoard crisps and Fanta long past their expiration dates.”

The aggregate attendance of the Gash’s three home games this season (Cheltenham, Stevenage, Oldham) still falls short of the crowd we got in our single home game against Blackpool. T-I-N-P-O-T

Less than 6000 Gastards could be bothered to watch their team tonight - utterly, utterly laughable support.

I was thinking of those two pence machines at the arcades where you feed coins into it in an attempt to knock a load of change into the pay-out slot. As about 35p in brass comes showering down you’ll hear a Gastard cry, “I’m now the fifth richest man in England!!!!”

You’re thinking of the goal nets

Couldn’t agree more re their fickleness - Swindon of course went down alongside them but had nearly 10,000 - and I doubt Carlisle took many.

Yep - and despite what “Da Worldz Gratest Fanz” would have you believe just like every club, when results have been consistently bad for a long time crowds go down.

On A$$h@t some were suggesting the poor attendance (and to be fair to the dregs a lot did admit that scraping 7k for the first game where fans were allowed in for 17 months was rubbish) was due to a JB boycott. A handful might’ve stayed away on principal but given he’s not been convicted I find it a bit far fetched that would significantly impact their numbers. Others cited concerns about COVID keeping fans away, but if anything that’s even more dubious - didn’t stop Newcastle and Tottenham having packed houses today.

Wasn’t their eighth defeat on the spin yesterday a new club record?

That vaccine your avatar is carrying changes your DNA!

I was eating lunch in an outdoor dining space and laughed out loud when I read it. Kudos to you.

Absolute vermin they are, Pete. Sharton has certainly been a hit with Bristol City fans…

Hahaha - absolutely pathetic! Out of morbid curiosity I went on their match report on the BBC website to see the attendance but didn’t find it, only a comment from (presumably) a City fan: “Why don’t you publish crowds any more? Too ashamed?”

We’m crap, they’m crapper. That’s about all we’ve got right now! In Joey we trust…

Sick to the back teeth of having to say, “At least the Gastards lost.” But here we go again. At least the Gastards lost.

Nowt wrong with being vegan. The bunch of beef curtains we had out tonight on the pitch, on the other hand… Was trying to follow the shootout on BBC live text - which is like trying to thread a needle in the dark - and it initially said Pring scored his pen making it 6-6. Then changed it. Hey Ho it’s “only” the EFL” cup but conceding two injury-time goals in our opening two fixtures is extremely concerning. Going to have our work cut out for us at Boro.

The hubcap stealer wasn’t happy with the “line person” who was responsible for ensuring his grubby mob slunk home with nothing to show for their efforts. ?

Barton’s salty post-match remarks are music to the ears. Says he doesn’t want to “bleat on” about officials and then proceeds to do exactly that.

Obviously Teds masquerading as Staggies again… ?

Oh dear, the universally-adored Gash are not getting much love or sympathy from Mansfield fans: “Rovers players behaved just like Barton - snide and nasty. I’m glad you left with nothing. Stags weren’t on their A game by a long way, but some kind of justice prevailed.” “You’re a team of thugs, disgusting side, you won't go far trying to bully your opposition. Pure filth.”

Hahaha - Gas cretins. According to the EFL’s FT Facebook post the Slags drew so they’re actually trying to make them look good, not ludicrous. No, Joey’s travelling tent circus manages to accomplish that all on its own.

Have to say, was impressed by the following your lot took up to Scunny. Saw the goal when the players all piled into the crowd.

Cheered me right up, that did. Hopefully it’s not another season of laughing at the Gas being our only solace!

Tobacco Chewing Peasants losing at HT. Good stuff so far.
