Social media is essentially rubbish, although it's a large part of my working life...but surely average crowds (home and away) and honours, and seasons at the top level in English football, and FA Cup Final appearances etc etc etc are all enough to just pat them on the head and say 'there, there, please be quiet...'

Well done. Now what's the Twitter following numbers? Instagram? Now try season ticket sales and attendances for the last 100 years ( or 1982 if you want)

Clearly the vast majority don't 'like' you enough to purchase a season ticket or even attend the odd game.

I guess we'll have to concede the Facebook 'likes' war....what will we do knowing that fewer attention seeking morons who post daily pictures of their ******* dinner like City?

Some choice posts from gaschat earlier this afternoon - haahaa!

MIND THE GAP!!!

youmadethatup

Only joking but there's just three teams between the tent owners and the Europa league team

BishopstonBRFC

Played very well. No player looks out of his depth. Dealt with them well and they've only had one decent effort which was blocked.
Brilliant effort from the away end. Non stop noise. Home fans have been pathetic.

What a difference an hour can make ....

Top of the League.
M Taylor, joint leading scorer.
D Clarke 100% record as a L1 manager.
Nothing left to prove.
It's almost pointless opposition teams even turning up. We should just pack it all up now, erect a solid gold statue of Wael and pay homage to it 46 times a year.
Oh, and normal service resumed at the Pit of Despair, our red cousins are losing.

Unlike most Rovers fans Bamber's tongue is firmly nestled in his own cheek rather than that of Mr Al-Qadi.

Can someone translate this post from "Singupgas" 

I've heard that certain Brazilian turnt Spaniards doesn't get a move back to Athletico Madrid and then sits on the bench first few games of the season, then he wants to come us on a season long loan.

Reckon it's something to do with Diego Costa - closest they'll get to Costa is their half time beverage selection..

Another trophy for their museum. What a collection. I know we're hardly a successful club but a museum ffs?

 

how many museums have nothing but trophies in them - it's going to be the history of the club and players.

 

 

I think he was confused between a museum and a trophy room!

Typical sag bullshit. Minibuses getting done outside the lions, behave. 

Haven't heard any mention of this,but the City and Wigan fans drinking side by side in the fanzone before the game didn't seem to have any problems.

I was at the flag day - nothing of sort happened. Why would a minibus end up there and why would the police who kept a low but visible presence around the pub let it happen? Complete gas fantasy once again 

Not like them and their "billionaire owner" to completely fabricate stories, is it?

Irony is, if Mr Landsdown requested a piggy back from our fans pretty much anywhere, considering how much he's done for us, doubt he'd struggle for volunteers.

On the flip side; some guy with a flash watch just in the door, who has yet to actually do anything tangible beyond ride on the back of an already successful team gets hefted up on the shoulders of those horse punchers and they see it as some kind victory?  Being gullible and stoking that blokes ego is all it is.

Plus; Landsown has too much class for that nonsense.  When he speaks, he tends to cut to the heart of the matter, like yesterday RE Kodjia.  That bloke at Rovers seems to enjoy giving interviews where he says nothing of any substance.  I know which I prefer.

Due to thousands of misguided dog lovers lured by the site name -thinking Bristol Rovers are a West Country version of Crufts.

Exactly, couldn't get more dodgy if they tried, just imagine if he actually had a lot of money? like say a billionaire.

Mind you i've heard that the interest on the new wonga loan to refurb the Minimal (in case anyone has forgotten, a shed, a container, a porch, a pretty sign of an apple and more tent material) is going to be crippling and impact on any work on a car park.

As a matter of disinterest when was the last time the sags had a crowd of > 17.5k for their first home game of the season?  My guess is at least 50 years.

He should be questioning why Wally has adoring fans. It must be the tent he put up for them.

When was the last time the sags had a ground that could hold 14k let alone 17k?

Love the franchise bit from those idiots! Let's see, a team who have played in their traditional heartland for 100 odd years and have now redeveloped their traditional home or a nomadic team of scuffling misfits who have played in bristol, bath, back in bristol at a rugby ground and want to move to south Gloucestershire! You couldn't make it up.

Down the road seem to think that the club showing its appreciation for Lansdown by naming the stand that he was crucial in getting built is somehow less important than carrying their chairman around on their shoulders, despite his having promised little and delivered even less.

It is genuinely hilarious.

In a twisted way I am actually looking forward to this week's 'Battle of the B******s' when the blue few play the bluebirds. 

Although I truely wish both teams could lose, I can see the sags getting hammered.  And what a beautiful irony that would be, as Cardiff are now managed by the man they hounded out when last at their level, because he could 'only' get them to midtable.  

Since then Trollope has coached at Championship and international level, proving what incredible judgement their club and fans display on a regular basis.  

I guess looking to the oppositon dugout will form some solice for whateverhisnameis who manages them now; he can look into his future and know that once Rovers fans/board turn on him for 'failing' to return them to being a huge club in League One and he gets sacked, things can (and usually do) get better, unlike Rovers (unless you're a fan of tragic comedy, in which case; they're a gold mine).

There is just no end to this lots verbal dihorreah is there? As to the idiot trying to use facebook likes to point score... this is the same facebook where Britain First have a million more likes than the labour party. Where are all those people on matchdays eh? If anything, it just proves that your fans are shite and dont bother to turn up to watch your team. Your crowd next saturday will be less than half ours yesterday. Nuff said.

You forgot they were prepared to move to Cheltenham (even sold season tickets).
