David Brent Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Following our rise up the table after Saturdays win, we are now 44 places above the gas who, to be fair, have had a fantastic season and are currently 15th in L2. Just out of interest, what I'd like to know - Is this the biggest gap between the two teams there has been? If not, when was the last time the chasm was this was great? Anyone know? I'm thinking recent seasons this was the first where there were 2 divisions apart. OTIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't care about the gas I don't really see them as our rivals anymore and have fealt like this for a long time now, We are so far ahead of them both on and off the pitch its unreal, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't think this a good suibject to raise in that it probably was when we hit the bottom of the old Div 4 under Terry Cooper. I can't remember where the Gas were at that time though. Other than that looking at it from a positive side, maybe it was when we hit the top of the old Division 1 after our first few games after we were promoted?

OTIB Last seasons relegation for Rovers meant the gap between the Bristol clubs was 2 divisions for the first time ever. So, now that City have avoided relegation, and Rovers look likely to finish in the bottom half of League 2, the 44 or so places will be very nearly the greatest ever gap recorded.

Eddie Hitler Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 i am not bothered,sorry who are bristol rovers? They are a club who have never been in the top division, and never been in the bottom division. Plus they have never been more than one division below us. Gasheads have told me this so often it must all be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 What you all seem to have missed is that the Merchant Venturers are changing sides. With Steve Lansdown and his son paddling their own canoe the likes of John Laycock and John Pontin are jumping ship and joining the Pirates. Rovers five year plan is designed to eclipse City and leave our seafaring elite basking in the glory of the Bristol football revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert tann Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wish it wasn't so Jordan. Old Fred used to say you could stick Harry Dolman, Bert Alpass, Jack Connor and Alf Biggs (R.I.P) in a room with a crate of Worthington and a pack of cards and win or lose they'd still come out smiling and full of respect for each other. It's all funny money these days son. Better we don't know what's really going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 the gap is massive and growing. You only have to look at the media interest. We are in a completely different league on and off the pitch to the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 In all honesty, i'm not bothered weather the gap is 100 places or 1 place. As long as this club is higher/better than BRFC that is enough to keep them quiet enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be too far from reality. FGR Chairman has said that the Play Offs are the minimum target next season and he has plenty of money to spend. Dale Vince is owner of Ecotricity if you weren't aware.So FGR v Gas could be a league fixture 2013-2014.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
