They have pasty huts ?

How quaint 

 

They had "huts", but according to a blue fewer one was condemned, so they now have just the one hut..

Please tell me you are joking about a "condemned pasty hut" oh the gift

Nope, it was on a thread there, the one about Wael's interview on Radio Bristol, I think.

Get yourself over to SlagChat they are proper upset.

Not just about the result, but about EVERYTHING!

Love the one on there about the pasty hut being closed today because it has been condemned..

The gap between the Championship and that league is growing, even forgetting for a minute the utterly laughable lot over the river, less than 300 away fans on a Saturday 3pm kick off just wouldn't happen at our level, even Burton would bring more than that.

Surely they could use the gate if they were willing to pay a fair amount to use it (not that they would).  But if they did, my only worry would be that they would try to steal it and set up their caravans in the car park.

**** off.

So on a day when the news of your stadium plans going up in smoke are announced, the first thing you do is make a half arsed attempt at pretending to be a City fan!

I notice you say how gAssholes love the club and manager though, and not the owner (anymore). Wonder why??

 

Pretty sure an identical fairy tale to this appeared on Asschat a month or so ago, what a coincidence, eh?

Wouldn't ever get allowed

That area really is the capital of tree huggers 

Probably a banner already gone up today 

Not only that, the "tent end" is cheek by jowl to the street behind, that would have to be the thinnest stand ever.

The home end (no idea what it is called) is also pretty cramped to the houses on whatever the road there is ? Filton Ave?

Only on the sides is there really sufficient room to expand.

Hilarious.

Die you *****.

Rovers fan I work with said to me earlier this summer that Luke James was the worst striker he had ever seen play for them.

When you have watched the likes of Christian McClean and whoever they had up front in the season they were relegated from the football league, that is some ******* accolade..

it still amazes me that they've convinced themselves that finishing 10th in the third tier and shipping 7 goals in their last two games represents a "fantastic season".

8 actually, (2-4, 3-4).

See that bloke Miller they were due to sign in the January transfer window from Dover (and who their friends at The Post have been bigging up this week for scoring over 40 goals this season) has signed for Peterborough today.

Weird, isn't it? Run by a billionaire Arab owner apparently yet outbid by a club with 6000 fans & run by the likes of Darragh McAnthony..

The famous beard ...

Only a club which should declare itself an irony free zone could include a picture of someone who looks like a tramp above a story about helping the homeless.

Are there really people out there more unfortunate than the sags?

Yet another penalty today, such a shame they still got stuffed by a side that hadn't win in a while, eh?

Blackburn 2 down

Don't think somehow that Reading away is the game Blackburn were targeting to overhaul us, seeing as we still have to go there and if we lose tonight we will already have done so 14 times away from home..

Sickener for the Bristol Post and their desperate attempts to will them into the play offs..

At the same time as running articles slagging us off, of course..

. If LJ gets the boot now, who is there realistically to take over in the interim? An assistant coach who appears to be at the centre of our downfall, or another one who has only been in the job for a day?

Good luck Pembo- thank you for being you. You won't be forgotten. #doublewinner

In many ways this is the most depressing aspect.

It is certainly a valid argument to say that as a coach who had responsibility for the defence he could have little complaint about being sacked, though what justification there is for still keeping the other 2 clowns on I have no idea.

However as the only obvious candidate to be caretaker this now means I think that LJ will remain in post at least until we are mathematically relegated.

Unbelievable.

Expect one of their resident optimists will be on here soon crowing about how this now eclipses their last transfer fee- the massive £40k they apparently paid Cambridge for Gaffney..

Exciting times..

We were unlucky that Mags got injured just as we seemed to be on top .

LJ was brave and the gamble backfired . Luck deserted us , as usual .

What is brave in using all your defensive options up at HT when it was only 1-0?

Even without an injury to a defender a red card is always a possibility away from home.

The defence we tried to see the game out with contained 3 players playing out of position, that isn't brave, it is stupid.

If your reckless substitutions mean that you play the last 20 minutes with a CB at RB, a winger at LB and a LB at CB you can't be too surprised to get beat, can you?

Shambolic.

One astonishing fact about this season, is that we have not picked up any points from any away game that has been played on a week day/ week night

Seeing as we have lost 8 out of our 12 away games it isn't that astonishing..

I'm sorry but you are wrong, just wrong.Kingswood is 99% Gas even with comment about the younger generation -  just like Bedminster in 99% City. .

I've always said that if you asked the football fans that live in the Bristol area which football team that they support I think City would have 25/30k fans and Rovers would have 23/28k.That does not mean that these people go to games,but if asked they follow one of the two bristol clubs as there first choice club and that are spread through out our fine city of ours.

Let's use some common sense and logic here. 

"Common sense and logic"!

Our average attendance this season is 19,300, which even taking into account away fans is a suspiciously high percentage of our "25-30k fans" when it is compared to your season's average of 9,100 when you are supposed to have "23-28k fans" isn't it?

By the way, your higher crowds this season are on the back of successive promotions and up to five weeks ago what looked like a season of being play off contenders. Despite this (Xmas apart) you don't get anywhere near to selling out your tiny little ground (despite your club pretending, it isn't really a "stadium", is it?) even though you are now again based in what is supposed to be your heartland, North Bristol.

I can only come to one of two conclusions, if you do have the numbers of supporters that you claim then despite what the local media and your club keep telling us, your actual "support" is pretty shit.

Otherwise and much more likely though is that you simply don't have that number of fans interested in your club and so your current average is, as I said before, only actually about 30% of Bristol's football fans.

According to one of their latest threads about Points West being riddled with "Ted's" they are saying that Bristol is 50% blue. Official attendances would suggest otherwise? Might have to make a quick phone call to HMRC?

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.

I dont think we have sold many top strikers on the cheap and.certainly not without a sell on clause like City.

Not sure the sale of Cureton for £250k to Reading was exactly genius.

8089 were there tonight, with 411 of them from Charlton..

**** me, one game at home that they don't win and the self proclaimed "best fans in the world's" crowds plummet to only 7600 home fans.

Pathetic.

Trying not to be defeatist, but I cant remember the last time I was less confident about a game than I am today.

Really?

How about every single game of ours under O'Driscoll?

Or is this one of those "I can't remember" posts that is actually referring to the last two years?

Would not be at all surprised by a 0-0 or 1-1.

1-1 at Creepy, who have had a man sent off, surprise surprise.  

Just seen it, an unbelievable decision. 

Sent off for handball, no way was it deliberate and the ref wasn't even going to stop the game initially.

One of many odd refereeing decisions they seem to regularly benefit from.
