sglosbcfc Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Get some money on Rovers to win the League Cup, now they are getting a new ground, maybe, they are certain to do a 'Swansea'. http://www.brfcforum.co.uk/index.php?/topic/108667-swansea-success/ You gotta laugh, might be better for them to concentrate on beating top outfits like Morecombe in front of 1700 fans before they dream of a major trophy.

Well the blue few think it is. I have never read so much drivel in my life as the amount I have read on there over the years. Barca of league 2 springs to mind.

eskay Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 They showed the league table from 10 years ago (based on last weekend's date) in the paper last week. Swansea were third bottom and Rovers were bottom, nothing changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I like this bit: We are in competition with City absolutely for those who currently only watch premier league football or maybe don't even have a team at the moment. However, I believe we already have enough people who if asked "City or Rovers?" would go for the gas every time, whether it's because their Uncle supports them, they live near the ground or because blue is their favourite colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the white van driving, blue collar types out kingswood, hanham, mangotsfield, warmley etc etc seem to have more of an affinity with the blue than us (largely passed down i suspect). If the gas did manage to mobilise this support on a regular basis they could put together fairly respectable attendance figures. But this is no different to us being able to get the rest of the city down AG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Clubs with new stadia in that league: Rotherham Chesterfield Morcambe Burton Not exactly a guarantee is it? Be fair, Tom. Morecambe and Burton came from non-league and built stadia appropriate to their needs. They've moved upwards since having them. Chesterfield desperately needed a new ground and Rotherham were turfed out of theirs. You could also counter that argument with Shrewsbury and Doncaster (and of course Swansea) who have moved upwards since building new grounds. It's a mistake to believe that a new ground guarantees success but it's not a mistake to understand that it helps. The Rovers board will have to seriously mismanage things to not profit in some way from the new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Oh the Rovers board will profit - you can be sure of that. Whether the club will is another matter. Mismanagement is their watchword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree.. there are plenty of City in Warmley, Longwell Green, Bitton, Keynsham etc. Gas neighbours are a great source of entertainment though!

friendlygas Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Read your forum mate and see what a load of bull your lot write before criticising ours. If you can't have a dream of success in a new Stadium or in five years or whatever then what is the point of being a football supporter of anything other than a Premiership team? Look at yourselves for instance. What do you think your rejuvenated Ashton Gate will bring you in League 1. Be very surprised if you manage 7000 season tickets sold if you go down to League 1 this year. I might add that personally I think you will survive this year as I think you will win the majority of your home games and also pick up the odd win away as you have only lost in recent weeks away to top teams.
