spudski Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Whats not to like spudski is that they are a totaly plastic club who Quite happily spent their entire history playing other villages in front of a couple of hundred people till vince and his pre decessor came in and pouted ridiculous ammount of money,btw Harry spudski and all you others who are deserting Ashton gate, for their entire history fgr s colours ware black and white, vince changed their colours because he can ! of course I suppose that what is destroying the fabric of football at cardiff is ok at fgr ( as long as they keep winning ah lads ! ) Wow...now just hold your horses mate... who said anything about deserting AG? I go to watch City, FGR and Yate Town... And it's not about the winning... it's the fact you actually get treated like a human being at FGR's compared to City. The whole set up, quality and experience is ten times better than at the gate. City could learn a lot. I don't need a lesson in their history thanks... I already know it. It's great to mix with players and owners and scouts and other managers... to be able to sit and talk football. Also to see and watch potential City signings and ex players play...that's why I go. So before you go insinuating things that aren't true... I suggest you roll yer neck in bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy bird Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 so if it's so much better than ashton gate stick with it ! two questions, when fgr are back at their true level playing brimscombe kings stanley etc,will you still be supporting them or will ashton gate have become just a little more attractive by then ? secondly if it was so awful for cardiff to change the colour of their shirts why was their no squeak of protest when fgr did the same ,? oh well I suppose that plastic fans have no sense of history or tradition, and certainly not of loyalty !

Pooki Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Don't even reply to him people... When.city are away we can do what we like.. Personally being a single parent on a low budget can only attend home games and fgr is a cheap enjoyable day and only just up the road from us.. Our club could learn alot from them.. At least they are run well and try to attract new support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnel mate... do you not understand anything you read... I watch BCFC, FGR and Yate Town... I go to watch football close to where I live...this is not about 'Supporting' FGR... I go to watch football...whoever is playing...do you not understand that? There was no protest, as the fans of FGR are obviously intelligent to realise the sentiment of the owner and what he is trying to achieve for the local community... unlike Cardiffs owner... how can you not see that? I will 'stick with it mate'... because you won't find plastic fans their...you'll find fans of football... who go for a different experience..nothing to do with the football being played and winning...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 And do, voraciously. The huge increase in badgers over the last 30 years - up 13 fold - is said to be the main reason for the decline in hedgehogs. Might "Aizoon" and/ or "Horace" be bunkered underground somewhere in Horfield, with evil designs on ridding this country of nasty badgers, masterminding the cull of the hog eating 'gers? And peddling the questionable theory that TB (Timothy Bird) is killing fat cows and must be wiped out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Come on now Tim. I love City too and was one of 364 people who were at Carlisle. I've also been to every home game (including all cups) and a number of away games too. I only go to FGR if City aren't playing and I've got nowt else to do and if I can afford it. Let's not pretend any of us is a better supporter of BCFC than the next one. We're all City and we all want the best for our club. FGR's half price offer is open to ST holders of any club, not just City. So what if they're advertising and trying to entice fans to their club. Something that our club ought to do more of - advertising - don't you think? If you pass through our town centre you'll see NOTHING telling you there might be a game on at AG. We don't advertise our club. Why not? And why is it wrong for FGR to do this? I'm not sure if you have read the ACTUAL words in my posts, but I am not swanning off to watch a winning team. My support of BCFC is also unconditional, just like yours. What's so wrong with me popping to a non-league team every now and then when MY club isn't playing. And what is so wrong with pointing out how impressed I am with their facilities compared to what we have at AG. I'm only suggesting City take a look at their model in the hope of making MY club, BCFC, a better club. Great to hear this "Harry" fella is enjoying himself up FGR so much. Let's just hope when he's finished stuffing his chops up there with burgers and chips and fish and beer and cake and coffee and more chips*, that he remembers why the ... he's there in the first place. Or this "transition" is never going to bloody end. *Roy Keane was right, all them years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Local football is great... used to watch Slimbridge a lot (mainly the seconds) when I was very young as my dad used to play for them. Before I could travel independently with City used to watch Dursley Town when they were County League standard. I don't know what it is about FGR and my dislike for them, I admire what they did pre Vince in regards of achieving a lot of success by reaching the Conference Premier for such a small club but for me the club doesn't seem well supported in the local area Nailsworth and Stroud as for me I don't see many FGR supporters around its mainly neutrals who are City fans like yourself and Gas/Swindle fans who couldn't make an away game.

I think that's awfully harsh Tim, Spud has already mentioned he watches Yate Town, FGR as well as watching City and tbh reading his posts on here he is in full support of what is trying to be achieved at the club in regards to SO'D and has defended his view/stuck to his guns from the naysayers quite admirably (I happen to agree with him regarding the same issues at City) There is nothing wrong with following and taking an interest in a local club as following City home and away can prove to be mightily expensive in this time of austerity and I don't think its down to the clubs current situation.

A Michellin Star competition?!! At least you said "cheap." I'll give you that, "spuds." What counts is "PROFIT." The quickest way to cream as much dosh from the gullible punters as possible. So that the head coach can start wasting it again on higher wages for nancy-boy championship quality players who can't be arsed or don't like being called names. Who can then spend this on flashy Audis and big FOff cars most punters can't afford, and line them up behind the Atyeo so the punters can file past them when they come out after a 0:4 spanking by Wolves. That "New Yawk" thing they got going on in the Atyeo, now, the FGR hippies want to come down here and check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes the chips are and always have been class Don't use Newcastle in the Cup as an example of an atmosphere at Gloucester. Get tickets for Bath/Worcester/Leicester then you'll experience a real atmosphere. The Shed is well known world wide, and for good reason.
