Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nice one, well done everyone. Can you even begin to imagine the back slapping w@nkfest that would be taking place amongst certain other fans of a certain other team if they happened to take more away than anyone else in the League?

They reckon they will be hitting 10k for home games this season! 50 minutes ago Quote Post by GasHeadGaz on 50 minutes ago I've said it before, if were still playing well over Christmas we'll get a 10k+ gate, and near the end of the season too.

Clarky89 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I find the Rovers bashing as funny as the next guy, but how has a thread that highlights something quite positive about us turned into a Rovers thread?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Was also more than any championship following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good following for City and to get more than Sheff U and Doncaster who both had local derbies within 20 or so miles, shows we do have the right to consider ourselves as a big club.

Bris Red Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good following from us but its nothing new, history shows we have always had good away support, especially when on a decent run. I think we will get over 3k for Cov in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This picking out individual posts as the Rovers' opinion is pretty dull. ..and it appears, not needed, especially as 'GasheadGaz' started eagerly taking the piss out of our home attendances in 1982 before a sensible one pointed out that our average crowds were higher than theirs that year....that'll upset him and a few of the other cocky tinpot turds.

BCFC Jordan Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Disappointing atmosphere mind...not that we had a lot to shout about second half. The vast majority were sat down in silence tho which was a shame. Second half atmosphere died down as we watched Walsall pass it around with ease for 45 minutes. Everyone was stood in our block and the same goes for the blocks next to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well and thoroughly put down by his own. Just think, our average in '82 was double their average in their last year at Eastville.. funny that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This picking out individual posts as the Rovers' opinion is pretty dull. There's morons on this forum too. True, but entirely missing the point. The internet is dominated by moronic opinion, and when it comes to football fans and banter with their rivals, it's almost exclusively so. Did you know, for example, that all City fans are hooligans and believe we are a 'massive club'? Just as all sags punch horses and consider themselves the Manchester United of the Conference. Fact.

Guest bristol south end Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Rovers going down amused me for a few hours on the day it happened. Its was funny on that day. Many people on this forum have an obsession with Rovers. They spend as much time thinking about them as they do city. Never really got it. Each to there own i guess. Great away following by us thou. Coventry should be another big away following as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people on this forum have an obsession with Rovers. They spend as much time thinking about them as they do city. Never really got it. Each to there own i guess. Away support figures are a hot topic in many mixed City/Rovers workplaces and pubs in Bristol and its usually started by our friends from the North. A lot of us have colleagues and in laws who regularly bring up in conversation the false belief that their away following is somehow superior to ours. Our away support often gets slagged off by Sags when in reality I think it's pretty good as the stats have always proved, its just we don't make a big deal about it. I don't see the problem with mentioning that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I believe I'm correct in thinking that I read our 2,500 odd at Seindon last season was our biggest away league match following for about 5 years..? I think we could well top that against Coventry, especially if we beat Chesterfield on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you say here but this annoys me a little that people would only want to travel in numbers if it was a prem team or a high profile game. Surely opposition shouldn't matter?
