    Well he definitely should have known how to spell dear old Bill Shankly’s name correctly - but modern writing standards make me despair.....utter rubbish not to get that correct - it ain’t ‘Shankley’ Adam - and pretty much zero effort in terms of research would have given him the correct spelling - a legend of our game disrespected by laziness....

    Tristan Cock wouldn't like his name spelled incorrectly, would he?

  2. In relation to an article published in the Bristol Post:

    "It's almost as if they're trying to give their favourite football club (BCFC 1982) a laugh."

    Ha Ha......We don't need the BP to do that. The muppets running, playing for and supporting the club are doing that quite nicely.

  3. Remember hearing these words?

    "They're very, very rich"

    "Unlucky the shit"

    "We're worth more, the bigger and better club than they'll ever be"


    ......and now it's:

    " The sooner the fakes piss off out of our club the better."

    " It feels a bit like managed decline now. Those stupid stands being closed down, the colony land only useful for growing
     a world class collection of weeds and planning permissions allowed to lapse. The squad lacking quality and investment."

    " Embarrassment piled on embarrassment just get out of our club useless owners and their useless lackeys"

    Dont you just love how dumb and envious they are!!!

     

     

    When i saw this item on news ,just knew it would create talking point on here!think we have to separate the 82ers from Bristol sport plc and then we realize nowt really changed. Bristol City play in a league just 1 tier? higher than us despite all the perceived advantages they have, one bad season for them and a good one for us and on the playing side we would have a roll reversal! ?i am a glass half full type and realize the glass half empty types would look at the opposite scenario, but thats how it is at the moment.This development does nowt to change that and you could deduce that Landsdown is providing Bristol with facilities which the Council should be providing but show neither the desire or intent to do so and has been the case since time immoral!The costs are quite staggering and the event hall would seem to fall twixt two stools,4000 ? certainly 4 times bigger than required for the world famous Bristol Flyers ?(world famous in Ashton anyway!)but no where near big enough to attract major Boxing or top band Gigs after all Bristol Arena ,that was, was deemed not big enough for the like even with a 10000 + capacity , it may compete with the farcically re-branded Hall in Colston street but thats about it.In conclusion as i said this news changes nowt as far as football goes and i am not plagued with the green eyed monster!Ever since i was old enough i chose Rovers for there eternal under dog tag and backs to the wall fighting spirit, our remarkable ability to turn disaster into triumph and to make a silk cloth from a pigs ear! ?it has been so for all my 70 years and all you true Gas eds out there will know what i mean,i mean just a simple thing like Gas ed was meant to be a derisory term but what did we do? adopted it and now its 'our handle'throughout the football world!Old Gas eds like me will no doubt be smiling wryly at the delusions of grandeur emulating from the dark side again bless their fickle souls, ?!That said if the good Lord could give us some good news from the club soon it would be much appreciated!just so long its not so good we will lose our unique identity!Up the Rovers!

    Don't you just love it when thick fukkers try to come across as being intelligent on the Internet?

    Don't normally get riled up by them, but this irritated me quite a bit... 

    Yes Neil, Bristol don't play at their spiritual home anymore, that's correct. Now, let's think about why bristol rugby club were forced to move out of their home of 97 years. 

    It was because your horrible lot pounced on them when they were at their weakness, went on to take the ground over from them before gradually making it harder and harder for them to play there before SL saved them and brought them over here. 

    As much as myself amongst many bristol fans are enjoying playing at ashton gate in front of big crowds, our spiritual home has been and always will be the Memorial Ground. So realistically, we'd love it much more if you lot just buggered off out of there and gave us our home back, then maybe SL fan upgrade it and turn our historic home into a decent ground. But as that won't happen, you enjoy being in the knowledge that you'll stole your ground off of the rugby club who you are glad don't play there any more whilst you sit there seething about what they now have compared to you. 

    Rant over... 

     

     

    How would 26,000 rugby fans fit into the Memorial Stadium?
