BS34Red Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 We just have to. Many of the younger generation may have not experienced a Bristol derby and what it is all about. Many will say the league is more important, to make me this is the biggest game we have had in a long time. No excuses we have to beat them. For years every time I say something to a Rivers fan all they reply is 1 nil. Time to shut them up. For those of us that live next to and work with Rovers fans a defeat will be unbearable. We are the bigger club, we are expected to win, losing to them would be a nightmare. This isn't just a game of football, this is local pride, bragging rights. We have to beat them.

BUTOR Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Agreed 100%. Time to shut them up once and for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The scum will be no pushovers (hopefully I'm proved VERY wrong though) and Ward will know exactly how to play us. An early goal is vital for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REBS14 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I still have mental scares, even now - It was quite a novelty beating the sags a while back, they always used to beat us, until up stepped Mr Donawa. The younger guys cannot remember the pain of the local derbys, it was horrendous for a while - they were our equals on the pitch once !! This has all changed, we are seen as the bigger/better club, the passion and atmosphere will be intense and i hope we come out on tops but i believe they will be playing for the draw and pens.

Donowa game is the only time I ever lost my voice watching city. Seen plenty better games, but that was my favourite for the sheer drama and of course we hadn't beaten them for years.

Bar BS3 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Totally agree. Not alot else to add to the OP. LOSING IS NOT AND OPTION! I'm sure our players are aware that lendary status is up for grabs. I'm sure that rovers players know that is the case from their end aswell. If we play like we can, then we should embarrass them... The fear comes from us having a bad day at the office and the whole thing going horribly wrong! Time to show them how things really are and put the scummy, inbred pikeys in their place once and for all. C.O.Y.R!!!!! (Please..!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 unthinkable to lose against them, unthinkable, we have loads of advantages though.. better players, at home. louder fans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The more this is built up the further we could fall. Recent weeks, months, years are littered with games that lower teams come through and win against higher up teams. Hope this is not one of them but stranger things have happened. Win celebrate, lose live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I was reading the sags 'message to the players' thread last night and was thinking that one of our players, particularly the new boys could become an instant City legend on Wednesday. Score the winner against 'them' and your name will go down in club folklore, regardless of the competition, it's the gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasTank Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Doubt our lads will have much fear of a team out of form and only 15 places above us. Mind the gap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I agree - we must beat the gas. I, for one, am very confident, as over the years, especially when we are struggling for results, we ALWAYS raise our game against them. Don't we. Oh yes.

That for me has to be the best home game I've been to, was it something like 11 games they went unbeaten to us before that? The pressure that night was lifted, hopefully we won't to late into the game on Wednesday but if the atmosphere is to be repeated then we are in for a fantastic night again.

I hope we win, but its no big deal if we don't. If we lose the next four, then that is a VERY big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
