Wouldnt put it past the sags to do it themselves to make it look like our fans have done it. This is something the sags would say if they vandalized one of our properties.

ciderbeans Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Disgusting and only gives them reason to go tit for tat on our nice new stadium.

DT The Optimist Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Quite right, who ever did this comes from the 70's and are total bell ends . Not in my name. W****Rs The creation of a pay pal account for real fans to donate some money for the cleaning of them is great, and anything left to the Legion or 'help the heroes' or what ever. We all love to take the P1ss out of NLBR but thats it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless our club acts quickly and decisively to pay for the clean up and ban the guilty for life (if caught) then we will always be blamed for this.

exAtyeoMax Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 It is really embarrassing and shameful, even more so in that BRFC have supported Oskar's fund as well. A bit of friendly banter is fine but mindless graffiti after a night out on the pop is just stupid and over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Cannot condone desecrating a war memorial. It's just plain wrong. But am equally disgusted by Nick Higgs going all holier than thou when he wanted to stick a whopping great Sainsburys on it... hypocrite... http://m.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-Rovers-Memorial-Gates-vandalised/story-28419382-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 My guess is, it was a group of hormone induced spotty teenagers that don't know anything about the history of this country or what those gates represent. A night on the white lightning and they ended up feeling all billy big balls and doing this. Most of our older scumbag element I'd expect to at least show some respect to a war memorial. If it was adults that did this then dreary me I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when I saw the correct spelling I did think the same But do you know what, let's say for the sake of argument that you're right and it was Rovers fans, all that would prove was that they were dicks, pretty much in the same way that if it was the- ahem - CSF then they would look dicks too. It doesn't really matter who did it , because they wouldn't represent the views of the massive majority of the fans of 'their' club. The simplest thing is just to get it cleaned up and we can all agree whoever did it were a bunch of *******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Worth noting the comments from Nick Higgs before anyone attempts to clean up themselves (although indeed with the best intentions). "It's a listed monument that needs to be cleaned properly by stone masons with proper materials. We're trying to get hold of someone today but we might have to cover it up while we wait for the right person." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 .@bcfctweets say they have arranged for an expert in graffiti removal to be at @Official_BRFC within the hour to clean up the vandalism.
