So we ask no questions?  We don't ask how there has been so much investment and we're still flirting with Div 3?

I suppose we are above the gas so who cares?  Small time mentality, no wonder this club goes nowhere.  At least next year we might get another trip to Wembley to win another paint pot.

The acceptance of mediocrity along with judging ourselves against an ex non league team with a tent as a a stand astounds me.

Try the gas forum, they really will welcome you.

If you or your mate were to offer something worth debating instead of just quoting shite, then maybe it would be worth it. But you don't, just negative crap with no perspective.

 

Seriously is that the best you've got? **** off and support the gas, really? Come on you can do better, prove why it's not that way. 

Not allowed to question? Great

 

Then we can all bend over and take league one football up the old rusty sheriff badge.

Well his first 'question' claimed we don't own our own ground which is bollocks. So I didn't bother reading the rest.

If you buy BCFC do you get the ground?  An honest question, I don't know? 

Or do you have to buy BS for that?

Dead right. This "we don't own the ground" line is repeated so often that it is being accepted as gospel. The ground is owned by Bristol City Holdings plc which is US! our board are the directors of THAT company. It is sub divided into two operating companies, Bristol City FC to run the football side and Ashton Gate Ltd which operates the stadium.

If you 'don't know' then why the frick are you spreading it as 'fact'? The ground,  like the club, is held under a holding company called Pula Sports based in Guernsey. Owned by Steve Lansdown. 

The ground and club cannot be separated under this arrangement.  

[CotswoldRed]

They're still very upset and short-fused over on gaschat.

We have a number of gas on here posting an entire spectrum of views. The responses they receive are far less neanderthal than over there.

I'm sure Steve or a new owner could absolutely separate the two, so I can offer no comfort there. The point is,  as of now, they are held under one company owned by one person. Steve Lansdown owns the football club and the ground and that's been the same ever since he took over in 2000 or whenever it was.

1.We don't own the ground

WE don't own anything. Steve Lansdown owns everything. Comment irrelevant .

2. We have a large squad, if we drop a division some will leave and if not the wage bill will be huge.

Some may leave, some may stay and the finances will be managed.

3. Our 'ones for the future' may want out if they see us back in the 3rd.

As many of "the ones for the future" have never played regular Championship football most would be really happy playing for 1st team in L1

4. If we get shot of Johnson we have to pay him still and who's going to come in?

A new Manager would come in and paying off LJ is not your problem - not now, not ever

5. What confidence do you have we'll improve?  We've spent shitloads anyway

Because many of us still  believe. The money is immaterial- it's not ours to lose. It's not ours to gain either.

6.  Grounds pretty pointless with crowds of 12k.

I'd only expect that type of comment from the gas. Really I would.

7. If we drop who's not to say the rugby will take priority.

More sentiment taken from the book of gas. Both sports are a priority . Please note they're run separately.

 

Basing our success on how crap Rovers are is pretty abysmal and exceedingly small time.

Only the most deluded of City fans base our success on the failure of the gas. It's just a satisfying bonus .......like leather , walnut dash and the Spirit of Ecstasy on Marina's Rolls Royce.

Hang your head in shame.

I would imagine if he was ever inclined to sell a purchaser would have to buy Bristol Sport lock stock and barrel because SL has a commitment certainly to the rugby club and probably the Flyers if they become a success.

Really? Because even if it wasn't City who bought him, you would've levelled vitriol at him where ever he ended up.. clearly not as venomous but still, how could he leave the 6th biggest club in the land with their brand spanking new stadium imminent? you'd be shell shocked 

Regardless if he wasn't your best player, 67 goals in 132 appearances (something like that) is a huge loss and no real way of filling that void right now.

Let's say a proven League 2 goalscorer is worth £500k.

Now let's say a proven League 1 goalscorer is worth £1m.

So in the summer we could have got something worth £500k for free. But now we are getting something worth £1m for £300k - an even better deal for City.

You can argue the exact figures but regardless it shows what a weak argument that tweet is - and how gullible they are on gaschat for lapping it up.

Wigan signed Omar Bogle from League 2 Grimsby for an initial £750k plus another £250k add ons. Compared to that, Taylor's £300k is peanuts

So just to be clear: everyone knew the release fee was £300,000. As had been discussed publicly as early as last August. And you all knew he was going to sell for £300,000 (not £10million) in the January window? That's what I thought as well. So we're cool?

300k? Great, now we're all clear then

120 days ago? Doesn't make sense. That would have been around October when he was in contract and outside the transfer window, so no, we couldn't have got him for nothing.

We could have done in August yet the "snake" signed a contract extension ensuring your club got some money, an amount dopey and your clueless board agreed to.

Now the clown at the top is attempting to deflect the fact they ballsed up by posting a "tongue in cheek" tweet which you lot lap up.......wonder what the EFL will think of this seeing as you've just gone whining to them crying foul play

He's shit dont you know!! 67 goals in 132 games is a record ANY striker would be regarded as slightly better than shit. 

Ah well, bargain for essentially free with our £300k sale of Freeman. 

What is priceless is the sheer bitterness towards both MT and City from the Gash. Sour grapes. Poor board decision. Poor Dopey quoting £10m when he mustve known £300k would do it and covering himself saying only he knows why MT wasnt approached by other Championship clubs. 

The blue few from the minimal really couldnt be any more bitter.

Pretty obvious that the vast majority of Gas don't agree with that statement because of the amount of vitriol directed towards MT and City is a poor reflection on your club,ask yourself where you would have been without the service of MT over the last couple of years,still trying to punch players at Braintree i would  hazard a guess,He's gone, let it go and move on.

There's no blame imho it's bussiness.You offered Matthew a better job, and he took it.

During the summer we offered him a new contract but he strung us along until days before the new season talking to other clubs, in his hope that a championship club would snap him up.When that didnt happen he came back to us as we offered him the most money out of the clubs that were on the table - but only in agreement that the token release fee be added.

As a club we were stuck between a rock and a hard place. We've offered our top goalscorer a new contract and he has messed us about and you sign his replacement. Then at the last minute Taylor says he'll resign.

What do we do? Tell your top goalscorer that says he will resign to **** Off, or bite the bullet and grab the £300k and 16 goals as it's clear he would be off in Januray of he does well.

Any player at there career peak (which for MT he is right now) would create that kinda reaction to swapping rivals colours.Don't kid yourself into thinking that if roles were reversed that city fans wouldn't have reacted in the same way as Gashead have.

Phillips move from you to us was a sideways,if not backwards move for him career wise -  yet he got death threats.

Mr Wael. 

Please note that nobody believes that this sale amounts to some sort of genius business by you. If anything all we have done is give you back his wages for the last 6 months (that's 180 days btw). If you are truly happy with this deal then I believe it can only be because you have removed your top earner from the payroll. I doubt it is still anywhere near manageable though.

I'd be absolutely amazed if that was true.

I know that's what he claimed but my memory of Phillips transfer to you was that there was very little anger towards him over it...we thought he was a bit of prat maybe. Some of us thought he could've stayed in L1, but no real hatred that I can remember. 

I reckon any grief he may have received from City fans only came after the JPT games in 2007.

You just know that if SL done something like that, the Gas lags would be swarming all over it...

However SL has too much class unlike the pretend billionaire it seems

If SL tweeted something similar his addresses would be posted online and death threats given to him quicker than you can say pikeys.

I'd be absolutely amazed if that was true.

I know that's what he claimed but my memory of Phillips transfer to you was that there was very little anger towards him over it...we thought he was a bit of prat maybe. Some of us thought he could've stayed in L1, but no real hatred that I can remember. 

I reckon any grief he may have received from City fans only came after the JPT games in 2007.

 

Well I knew a mutual friend of his at the time and I know it was 100% true.

Also, Phillips was on TV the other day and confirmed this himself.

It would seem odd that given he is no longer in the Bristol spotlight -  even tho he is paid by Rovers, that he would want to stir up any trouble for himself by lying on local media while talking about the Taylor abuse and the trouble he once had as it makes no sense.

O..k... but - but its ok for SL to be as childish to create all this (very cringeworthy ) #Welcome to Bristol or,  # Making Bristol proud..  rubbish.

Better still, remember when he said no one would speak about Bristol Rovers anymore! 

Wael in terms of class, and lack of ego is in a different league to SL and I'm not just saying it as he owns my club.

It was a cheeky dig at you after a week your club is quite proud to say you got one over on its local neighbour's

Ahh, great...When did this actually happen? Whenever Gasheads have brought this up before on here they've been unable to actually tell me when I ask them.

Ive been led to believe that the "no one will talk about Rovers anymore" quote was purely in answer to criticism that you had plans to redevelop the Mem and we seemed to have no similar ambitions (although clearly behind the scenes the club were coming up with the plans for Ashton Vale).

Maybe that's wrong though, I dunno

Over to you....

No he wouldn't because he would get his facts and figures correct first and thats why he's a billionaire and why Wally is a fake billionaire.

That's down to personal opinion, but players that I think have more potential than Taylor are - Lockyer, Leadbitter, Ollie Clarke, James and Harrison (yes the one that wants to join you )

 Two players that are of much more value to us as players than Taylor was right now are, Lines and Billy Bodin.Not for there re -sale value , but what they offer us as players and our style of play.

Thanks but no thanks, I think your now just trying to sell us some really rubbish players. The 300k must have gone to your head and now you want more of the pie?

I don't blame you tho, 300k for a team like yours must seem like millions.

Unfortunately I've seen many Rovers fans over the years patting each other on the backs telling each other that your the best and most loyal fans in the world, so wouldn't surprise me if you also think your players are the greatest too when in fact they would struggle to get into many other teams.

Lines couldn't cut it in the Championship so was sent packing and eventually he came back to you and you all thought he was a hero because he played a couple of games in the Championship.

Haven't spent a penny since becoming 3rd richest club in the country but it's all well and good because their owner made a joke about selling their star player directly to their rivals for £300k.

Shite that's a long time without going, their collective bladder must be fit to burst by now.... hope they spend some of that 'down the back of the sofa' loose change SL gave 'em this week on some more Porta-loo's for the Mem camp site - before half of Horfield gets flooded in Gas piss.

Just 13 places in the league standings fella.Remember the days when there was a real gap?

Also didn't you hear? We brought some new grass yesterday in order to grow some carrots, as well as a couple of spuds to play in our first team.

I guess some wally will still nibble at that. ;-)

I'm sure at one point in the past, most likely even this season at the start, we must have been 13 places behind the likes of Man United, Chelsea etc. Doesn't put us in the same league as them tho does it?

Unfortunately for you your club has reached its maximum height. Ok maybe one day you will fluke a season in this league (not anytime soon may I add) but right now your likely at the pinnacle of what your likely to achieve. 

The only way is down for your club.

As we have found and countless other clubs, it's easy to steamroller through the lower leagues but once you get to this level it is tough, signing players from non league just won't do.

You need to be able to offer the wages, have a good stadium, have good training facilities, have good coaches, be able to pay transfer fees(do you know what a transfer fee is?) etc etc. Even we have struggled with this over the years, although it is finally all coming together, how you could ever even think you could play at this level without being embarrassed really is laughable.

Even your own manager said the other day you haven't got the infrastructure to compete in League One let alone the Championship. You need to start lowering your expectations somewhat.

Here's a stat for you, you sold your best play to your rivals for 300k, we sold our best player at that time to Aston Villa for 15 million. 

From where I'm standing that gap isn't getting any smaller.

Here's another stat, even our U23 squad cost more than your whole team and each and every player on our books on pro terms would walk straight into your team.

Seriously is that the best you've got? **** off and support the gas, really? Come on you can do better, prove why it's not that way. 

Not allowed to question? Great

 

Then we can all bend over and take league one football up the old rusty sheriff badge.

 

You show a distinct lack of Bollox 

 

Incidentally. You're not your.

 

It's a pedantic but when you type it out and can't see it I do worry

Just to get back on the off-topic for a second.  Cynic was actually correct with his your, not your you're, if you see what I mean.

You're is only ever used as a contraction, so all you need to do to check is sound out the two full words. In this case I believe cynic was saying 'your mate', so if you write or sound out 'you are mate' then it is quite clear which your to use.

Not trying to be a pedant or smarty pants, just helpfull hopefully  

You can use the same simple rule to know when to use its or it's.
