The mere thought of a gas head in the away end at Ashton Gate when it isn't a derby makes me want to punch a horse. It did feel a bit strange, but my son was very young and he wanted to see Liverpool play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 10 hours ago, Bluebeard said: I support both North Bristol clubs. Your new stadium is undeniably superb but I'd rather Bris were still playing at home. Bristol rugby is called Bristol rugby because it irepresents Bristol and they have a home called Ashton Gate. You are patently a Rovers fan first and foremost because no true Bristol rugby fan would continue to line the pockets of an organisation that stitched up the rugby club so disgracefuly I'm glad incidentally that you support the rugby club North Bristol as teams in the Gloucestershire Premier league need as much support as possible and of course their facilities are better than those at the Mem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Back on the Swindon tickets, only giving Rovers the expensive tickets and not opening the cheaper bank behind the goal. This is why Swindon are the club I dislike the most. I want to beat Rovers more than anyone else but when it comes to horrible little clubs in horrible little Towns, Swindon take the biscuit. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its very thoughtful of them. They got soaked last time so are ensuring they don't have to get wet again. Being serious tho, why the hell is there a huge amount of sympathy for them recently? Personally I'm delighted Swindon are charging them watch the game again, I'm even more delighted they have to pay even more to watch the said game. Their fans are some of the worst in football, attacking families in pubs, boob cricket, horse punching etc etc so its about bloody time the football gods have conspired against them. I think some have a huge dislike for Swindon and that is clouding over their dislike for the sags. Give me Swindon over the sags any day of the week.

Ah the footballing Gods have blessed us for so long hey?

BS2 Red Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 On 05/09/2016 at 13:42, In the Net said: Trashcan Gate/Trashton Gate has been used to describe your stadium for years. Yes, it is about as relevant now as us being called Gasheads, over 25 years after leaving Eastville - some things just stick. Thanks for your comment on my mentality, although it has been assesed by people far more qualified than you. It seems to be a running theme with 15ers that their insults are based on rhyming words. City becomes Shitty, Ashton becomes Trashton etc. It probably seems very impressive to them, after all most children are not able to rhyme like that until they reach the age of 3 or 4! Well done Gasheads! Of course it is hilarious when they try and do it. Bristol Shitty makes no sense as an insult when it is said by fans of a team that have pretty much always been lower than us in the leagues. Trashton Gate makes no sense coming from fans of a club that have never ever had a stadium anywhere near as good as even the old Ashton Gate. Still, keep on developing Gasheads, one day you might pass the 4 years olds and develop to a level where you can use really simple similes to describe us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some of us are able to take a broader view on whether its right or not to charge fans again for a match that was declared null and void after 59 minutes the first time around, regardless of the teams involved. I happen to like my colleague at work who attended the first game and I don't believe he has ever punched a horse or indulged in any of the activities you describe, in the same way that not all of us have vandalised the memorial gates. So yes I do have sympathy for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
