pocketscrot Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ok peps hear me out. I hate the gas as much as the next person. However I have been truely amazed at the amount of people that wanted the palarse to get relegated, and it got me thinking on this subject. For me i Love the games against bitter rivals - My first memories of city was playing milwall in the league and the tension thier fans/scum created around the gate - micky bell free kick went down very well! So in a weird way what i am trying to say is i want us to play rovers twice a season - albiet stuff them. I want the swindle to get promoted, im glad palace stayed up cuz its one of the first fixtures i would look for next season (that and hull). Am i crazy in thinking like this as i note some of you would like rovers/ palace/ cardiff to go out of existence - but hey life would be very boring with no one to hate!

Mr Gow Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 First of all, most on here would celebrate if the Sags went bust tomorrow Secondly we dont call Gas nomore, they are the Sags, sagheads, sad saggy sadhead or just plain gash will do fine. You wont win many friends on here with posts like that but welcome on board brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I would welcome relegation for Rovers, followed by another relegation and onwards and downwards inexorably into oblivion. I don't miss the Derby games with Rovers' players kicking lumps out of our lads every time or the regular freak goals ( Smart, Hibbitt etc.) that they saved for Derby day. As for rivalry, yes, they will always be our biggest rivals and the team I would wish City to smash and humiliate the most if we met in the Cup but true footballing rivals are teams of equal stature and ability who you come up against at a level Rovers will never reach. We don't need Rovers when we have the likes of Forest, Cardiff, Palace plus new teams every season to renew or commence meaningful footballing rivalry. Rovers are a club to detest constantly and swat mercilessly occasionally in the Cups when needs be - we don't need them to be a permanent irritant in our own division. Just to add, for such a non entity of a club they're getting far too much mention on this forum recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say that you should limit the amount of Natch you drink on your first occassion. Too much, first time around, plays havoc with the brain cells and can be worse than taking hallucegenic drugs. Have a lie down, you'll be ok in the morning and remember - only drink in moderation next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I hated the derby matches to much at stake I was always sick with my anger and hatred towards the scum. Losing to them was unbearable and winning against them never made up for the lost matches. It was always a case we should bury them so it seems we were always on a hiding to nothing.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Nah, The more they struggle the more I love it and when the wind blows the tents away on their unbuilt re-build, Knowing the only way they actually visit our new ground is either a) Watch us playing at a decent level b) the odd reserve or youth match c) even a world cup match.

City_pete1 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Clearly not as much as me. What an unbelievable post. I hate the gas with a passion. But I would like to see us play them every once in a while for a competitive game (i.e. not a friendly), if it be the cup or league. If that means them getting promoted for a season, beat them and watch them get relegated, fantastic! I miss the Bristol derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I wouldn't mind if the Gas got promoted. To the Bristol and District League division 5, after a lengthy struggle in division 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocketscrot Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Well everyone is different - the way is see it is rivallary is healthy for success. Its simply the desire to do better than the other half that makes every game have that extra importance. I do agree i cant see sags in the same division as us ever. I just think the manchester derbys - north london derbys - sheffield derbys - liverpool v everton have something that makes football so addictive. Im still bitter about the tinpot trophy loss and want to put it right i guess taking 6pts from sags and finishing above them would put it right.

Don't get me wrong, part of me would love to play them again...in the cup! But even then I'd be so worried, not sure I could take losing again! As for the promotion question though, no, in EVERY single way, I would not wish any success on them whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stan Hibbert Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I sort of agree that having Swindle and Sags in our division would be good for Bristol and for young kids getting into football. The lack of a healthy local rivalry (where we actually get to play each other!) is part of the reason kids look to support the likes of Man U and Chelsea - so they can have that banter about who is best etc. There is no argument in terms of City v Sags. Personally I'd always feel more of a buzz in the build up to us playing Sags than I would playing the likes of Palarse. But... I am faced there with two issues which makes the whole idea unthinkable. 1. It would mean either us being relegated or Sags being promoted. I wouldn't wish for either of those. 2. Given that the Sags are light years behind us in terms of wealth, support, ambition and potential, I wouldn't want us to be competing at that level anymore. We've raised the stakes in terms of our own expectations and that has to take precedence over me having an excuse to wind the Sag Mrs Hibbert up twice a season.

grove park city Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Rather play the Gas anyday over those cheating ,dirty,croydon scumbags ever hopeful they go bust ,sh#t club,ground and fans . Another 10 point deduction next season or 20 if possible just a pity Wednesday were so poor that they couldn't give em a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hippo Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 no chance! the sooner the sags go into non-league as they almost did a few seasons ago and stay there the better, i won't be happy til clevedon town and wsm are above them! the sags already have far less support with the bristol schoolkids now than back in the early 90's and thats after just 10 years of them being below us, lets make that 20 i say! hopefully they'll be trading attendence figures with manor farm in the future, when we're in our new 30k stadium!

Mr Roper Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Dont miss the Derby games at all ,used to stop me sleeping at nights thinking what it would be like to lose against them ,would get like that about 2 weeks before game .Anybody who thinks it would be 6 easy points hasnt gone through the times when we couldnt buy a win against them .No let them stay where they are or go back to the basement ,well away from us.
