BRISTOL86 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nah. Far better, let's erect a statue to those who leave the Dulmoan 10 minutes before the end. Alternatively, how about a prawn sandwich as a mark of respect for those supporters who are part of the 'sit down, shut up' brigade that have done so much to ruin the atmosphere and make it passionless, sterile match day experience nowadays. So everyone who doesn't want to get boozed up and be a thug at football is part of the prawn sandwich brigade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule The Waves Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 The argument based along the lines of "football hooligans are idiots / chavs / old men stuck in the past / don't actually support the club" (delete as appropriate) is boring and has been done many many times before, and I'm not going to join in either way. This sums it up for me though; "For those who know no explanation is necessary, For those who don't no explanation is possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 This sums it up for me though; "For those who know no explanation is necessary, For those who don't no explanation is possible." This could be used to excuse any sort of anti-social, ignorant or just plain illegal behaviour. Football wasn't exciting in the old days because of the thugs, it was despite them. It could also be very plausibly argued that the more sterile atmosphere at football today is a direct consequence of the hooligan behaviour throughout the seventies and eighties.

RedRock Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 So everyone who doesn't want to get boozed up and be a thug at football is part of the prawn sandwich brigade? Don't be daft. Some of our hard core sandwich support are particularly partial to egg mayo. Proper 'old school' the Egg Mayo Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm fairly certain that random violence towards strangers who happen to support a different football team to yourself is a perfectly valid way of showing your support for Bristol City. Imagine, without these hordes to defend our honour then the East End may have been 'taken', just the way our reputation was greatly enhanced by the way we could 'take' other clubs pieces of terracing where we weren't supposed to stand. We people that find this sort of thing alien, nay abhorrent, really should take a long, hard look at ourselves and recognise that the only reason we have a club to support is through the courage of, and daring deeds being carried out by, the few for us, the many. When Ashton Gate is rebuilt, then there should be a memorial wall somewhere bearing the names of 'Big Rog', 'Frank the Knife', 'Black Tony' (to prove we're not racist) and many others that ensured our mighty club can carry themselves with pride, knowing that there are people out there prepared to bleed for the club, regardless of what the overpaid pansies on the pitch might be doing. In fact, may I go so far as suggesting a statue being erected in their honour? It would be a far more fitting image than John Atyeo. After all, the top lads never go away, Atyeo was merely a player and retired. Don't forget Dave the Ocelot. Pwoper Nawty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Red Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nowadays some mobs aren't just involved with football related activities. The GHS are very, very active players away from Football. You're saying they could be "sitting down in the road" away from football as well? So, we could be innocently motoring along from Rolls Royce up Patch, towards Winterbourne, and at Liddle Stoke, a squab of GHS could come from nowhere and park themselves in the road, taking up hours of plod time and outraging the Post? I'll cut through the top of Bradley Stoke in future then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I remember when the City v Gas rivalry discussions revolved around who did the most damage in Swindon or Plymouth or any other non Bristol shit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Are they fighting in supermarkets? Anyone up for steaming into Lidl's one day next week. If there's enough of us I am sure we can take it. Restore our reputation and all that. Can someone text Randy and the Smashers? Who can make the sandwiches?

The Humble Realist Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Wat I don't get is the jibes at other clubs 'firms'...each firm obviously believes they are the best but ultimately I'm sure most are the as hard/weak as the other.
