GrahamC Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 One of the family club's super loyal amazing "fans" punching a Braintree player (Braintree!) because he had the nerve to win a penalty against them and then running out of the ground..

Stefan Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 For me it was the relegation day.... like the planets aligning everything went right! However, as much as I relished them being NL...... Top job to them and a well-deserved promotion really. Not an easy job to bounce straight back after that, but they did it. I think its Ok to congratulate them on that... lets face it we are City and whole bunch classier than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Where to start? From the embarrassing of tweets re 'attendance records', in the vauxhall conference, to lack of dignity shown against the part timers of Alfreton, to the belly aching of trying to coin the phrase 'top 5 divisions', ooh me ribs. For all my days, its there in black and white, the year Bristol Rovers played amateur non league football. Its been joyus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 AS much as i relished them being NL. Top job to them and a well-deserved promotion really. Not an easy job to bounce straight back after that, but they did it. Thats the rib tickling punch line, they can now 'toast promotion', to Division 4. Division 4, deary me, i can remember how much we celebrated them being relegated to it, now theyve been promoted to it!! How low as a club have they sunk?

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 So many to choose from...relegated at home against a team playing in Rovers kit...celebrating their non survival against Wycombe...defeats at home to FGR and Bath City...the news that they're gonna be sponsored by a pub next season. They are 'the gift'. I think the winning moment for me was when they only managed to sell 26,000 tickets for probably the most important game in their history after droning on time and time again about taking 45k/50k/55k* (*add other made up figures). Made even better by the fact we took over 40,000 a couple of months ago.....considering so many of them are obsessed with attendances this comparison will annoy the shit out of them for years. They can come out with all the ropey excuses in the World but the fact is they haven't lived up to their own hype. Thanks for the laughs Gasheads, its been great.

reddevon Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 For me the highlight was some of their ranks, and their owners, refusing to accept relegation and insisting Wycombe should take their place in non- league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not sure why the thread was removed, we still have the Sainsbury verdict - could give a lot more than we've already had... The mod's finger must've been literally hovering on the mouse button to lock it the second the whistle blew. Power crazy zealots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markular Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Lucky enough to be on the coach from London Victoria to Bristol this evening. As we passed Cabot's Circus someone cried out "recognise this city? Smells like league 2" followed by a reserved cheer. Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 HAAA HAAA, you're not laughing any more! Okay, maybe you are. I'm just relieved. As much as I have enjoyed visiting all the new places this season, I certainly wasn't looking forward to any more cold November Tuesday nights in Alfreton for a 0-0 draw. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been going to those sort of games any more, as it is, at least I can tick off Stevenage next year, and we have the glamour of the JPT and the League Cup to look forward to. I have had a shite week on a personal level, so today did bring some light relief, it was an awful game, in which Grimsby were slightly better than us, but the end result was all that mattered to me, and the nightmare is- at least for now- over., and we are in a division that I once used to dread dropping down into.
