Red34 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 3 minutes ago, PHILINFRANCE said: To be honest ES, whilst I am happy to take the proverbial out of Rovers and their supporters, I am not one of those who hates Rovers or even wishes them ill. I shall indulge in a wry smile should they lose, much as I did when they lost at home to Mansfield on that fateful day back in, when was it again , OH, Yes, I remember, 3 May 2014 , but my thoughts will be more concentrated on how City get on at Hull. Seriously, though, I sometimes despair when I read the bile and hatred directed at City and their Sheethead fans on their Gaschat thread, but I put that down to the immaturity of their posters, similar to the crass short-sightedness of their forum moderators who refuse to allow City fans to post and enter in to genuine debate about their respective teams. It is of great credit to this forum and, of course, to the moderators that fans of other clubs are allowed to post freely and liven up numerous threads; indeed, there have been a few Rovers supporters who have added to lively debate with their genuine arguments and, increasingly often, their self-depracating humour. I do credit some of their supporters for their humour in the face of what's going on in their club, and I know a few Gasheads and get on well with them (except in their delusional phases!). However the club itself and its more delusional fans I can't stand and can't wait to see them go pop - the only thing I'll miss is the sheer comedy they bring from their continued saga. I wasn't alive in 82 but being brought up in a Red family with their memories of Gashead behaviour during that time and the hatred it inspired me to carry on the flame!

Bryans Left Peg Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Personally I'd rather Rovers ended up in the Southern Football League (South & West) than go bust. My partners side are all and it's easy (one-sided) banter considering they are so sh**e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Tann is the best example of this in my opinion. One of my favourite posters on OTIB. Gasheads often claim that they don’t take themselves too seriously and that we are the arrogant ones, then someone like Bert comes up with some intelligent, self deprecating humour on here and they accuse him of being a ‘shithead’. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but on the off chance someone actually invested money in them and they went ahead of us in the next decade or two, we all know any Gasheads we're related to or have to work with will be unbearable! Can't risk it :laugh:, bust solves the issue once and for all! Edited November 21, 2017 by Red34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their away support is absolutely massive, no doubt about that. It doesn't matter if they go on to lose 15 - 0, it's all about the away support. Always was, always will be. Better get blue and white quarters tattooed on their 12 inchers to celebrate. Massive, massive support. The Barcelona of the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a couple of seasons struggling in L1 and let's see what their away attendances are like then... But I thought Rovers played at Ewood Park every Home game?!!!

To be fair, the state the club is in (even if they don't admit it publicly ), losing run and they're shit. That's not bad. Of course they haven't played there for about 25 years, that's bound to boost the following. And don't forget, from their time in Div 4, from this position they were always saying that it was a promotion push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
