    I'd say it was the period between 1986-1991 that the Sags had their most purple patch and they only picked up results against us by trying to break our players legs (Alexander v Smith) and spending 90 minutes hoofing it out of their box and ending up with luck like you wouldn't believe. 1987 Gary Smart for me was the most unbelievable one of them all. 

    Instead of breathing a sigh of relief they had the gall to give it the big one like they were some footballing giant. Honestly, they were awful, the football was dire and non league and I don't know how they could pay money week in week out to watch that shite? But somehow they beat us and it was the cure for everything shit about their own pathetic existence.

    At Trumpton they were just as bad, yet they beat the shit and they were a massive club.

     Everything about their club is amateur and always has been. Infrastructure, facilities, team, set up, support, success. Tinpot, tinpot, tinpot.

    It turned in the 1990's and the luck ran out and they found their level. Still, the odd Gloucestershire Cup success and beating us in the Johnstone Paints somehow still managed to make up for everything.

    The ultimate goal of the fans is to beat the shit. Apart from that they are happy being a Ragass Ragbag Tinpot club and they get through years and years of watching downs league football with the hope that one day they will play the shit and fluke a win and then be a massive club again.

    How anyone can choose to support Rovers is beyond me? Potential fans are beginning to see the light these days though with the only new fans of Rovers being forced to support them by their obsessed and green-eyed parents.

    We know it's true and so do they.

    That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    Amen.

    Good support that . They have quite a good following for such a small club . Always have done. But not as good as they constantly bang on about. But 1100 to Blackpool. Good 

    Half the fukkers went to visit their kids from previous holidays.....

    Just had a quick glance at the league 1 table..they're only 4 points off safety, in the massive heady unprecedented heights of 17th in a league where Shrewsbury are 2nd..

    I guess being 5th in the league, one win away from safety in January in one of the toughest leagues in Europe isn't so bad..

    They can only dream about being in a position of which they are taking the piss out of us for being in

    I really wouldn't put it past big Steve to build an athletics stadium at UWE mind. Start a bristol sport club athletics team to add to the portfolio and use it for some football matches. 

    He'd love Olympic competitors to come out of the Bristol sport stable I'm sure.

    I seriously wouldn't build a stable north of the river !!!

  5. One of them has seen the light apparently.......

    " So much bitterness on this thread, mind.

    Yeah, we all hate them, but I've got no problem in saying fair play to them.

    Rather than being bitter, why don't we as fans strive to better ourselves, I'd love Rovers to have a 28,000 stadium, be currently in the top 6 of The Championship and in a Semi-Final of a major Cup competition.

    We really don't have anything to mock them with. So why do it? It's embarrassing"

    So this evening they announced they have a manager for the development of The Colony training facilities, and a few hours later they announced they've let their prized asset go. Seems like a few fans on Gaschat knew it was all a smokescreen. Wonder if they're going to sell Lockyer for a few new toilets

    That really would be taking the plss

    One of the younger blue few on asschat says he has noticed the age demographics of the crowd at the Memorial Ground. He says he's surrounded by old gits or young kids being forced along by old gits, not many teenagers or young adults. 

    Now one of the things you'll notice about the crowd at Ashton Gate is the age range. it's a good spread across the generations.

    Another indication of City dominance?

    The city is ours as the song goes :clapping:

    Teenagers don't like camping.
