Given the strange way Safety Advisory Groups work and how important having the correct certification is, I wonder how you can just throw stands up in a few days and then get a safety certificate for them?

Wouldn't you have to have some sort of test event, evacuation test and get the things fully authorised before you can let the paying few sit in one for a league match?? 

What I'm saying is, even if DHL deliver their IKEA flat pack stands to the Mem tomorrow and they are thrown up in time for 3pm Saturday, surely they won't get a safety certificate in place in that time?? 

 

 

SAG will certainly need to ensure that the guy ropes are manufactured from fire retardant material. I guess we could help them with that test? ;)

With all the tents they have now, have they started calling home games the 'Gas Jamboree' yet?

Obviously, any scouting that takes place will likely be with view to identifying players, rather than singing ging-gang-goolie.

I remember before THE Mansfield game, you know, the survival celebrations they were having pre-match...?! They had a steel band playing. I wonder if they were actually “steel drums” or just “tin pots”...?!

Maybe that's what's caused this complete shambles. When they were told that SAG have to inspect the "construction" to provide a safety certificate, they thought they could send any old bull5hitting, knuckle-dragging sag round.....they probably booked Henburygas

"Yes I drove past yesterday, no stands on any of the terraces and the South West tent has disappeared. you'd think they would put an ice-cream van there to fill the space, or something else that is useful. what I don't understand is why didn't they add a section to the South stand, which was there once upon a time. How long has that temporary stand been there? I remember watching Bo save us from relegation from that stand. (Kidderminster were a league club then too.)

Thing is, most people enjoy the misfortune of others.

I'm fairly sure that being a Rovers fan you have to enjoy your own misfortune.

Those shitheads can crow and strut, but I've never known a single ted that hasn't begrudgingly admired the fact that as sh** as we always are, we still love the Gas.

In many ways, more than they could ever love their plastic franchise.

 

What is this specimen on about. So because rovers are shit . We admire them and tell them what fantastic supporters they are . ******* unbelievable. 

Well this shithead thinks you are shit your support is shit . And you constantly chat shit . 

Anything to make themselves feel better.

I have absolutely no grudging admiration for the 15ers and even less for their supporters. So I guess I'm his first.

He was later to play a role in Fawlty Towers as O'Reilly, Sybil's favourite incompetent builder, but, for the life of me, I couldn't recall the name of the BBC sitcom where this one-armed kitchen worker appeared regularly: it has been bothering me since yesterday, but it has just come to me: Robin's Nest!

I remember that. IIRC (doubtful, usually don’t) there was an on air “Tessa come back” at one stage. The Robin’s Nest geezer was Richard O’ Sullivan.

Gormless The Gas may be but a tad harsh on Richard O'Sullivan who sadly is in a pretty poor state of health these days, which neatly brings us back to The Gas....

No, absolutely not - she went out with and later married (I believe) Richard O'Sullivan (the Robin in Robin's Nest), but most certainly not David Kelly!

I don't admire them. I think most of them are mugs who practically allowed their club to sleep walk into Non League because asking questions and expecting better is seen as a bad thing up there for some reason? Too busy patting each other on the back telling themselves they're something special to fully appreciate what a laughing stock they've become.

But this is exactly the sort of w@nky rubbish many of them come out with on a regular basis. They don't love their club more than we love ours, far from it judging by their crowds over the years compared to City. 

Not sure how we can be called 'plastic' or a 'franchise' when we've never left Bristol and still play at our spiritual home of over a century? 

Gaslogic....

I just googled the meaning of a Franchise in case it has been rebadged to another activity, or I completely misunderstood the structure of Bristol City/Bristol Sport ..

"A franchise business is a business in which the owners, or "franchisors", sell the rights to their business logo, name, and model to third party retail outlets, owned by independent, third party operators, called "franchisees". 

If anyone has a bogus account  on asschat could you educate the ******* idiots for their own good please because this term of endearment doesn't quite work and the sooner at least some of those poor folk realise that the better.

If their thinking was correct and City was the 'men's football department' of Bristol Sport, then Rovers would be exactly the same in their relationship with Dwayne Sport.

BUT WE LUV ARE CLUB MORE THAN DA PLASTIC SHITHEAD FRANCHISE 

Rinse and repeat. Your home support is shite, none of you idiots can be bothered to get up on a Saturday afternoon to watch the 11 turds on the pitch play the worst football in all 9 divisions of English football. 

Your away support is average, only because your home support is utterly diabolical.

The plastic franchise got 20,000 fans at home this Saturday, and this is with selling all our best players and a slightly mediocre feeling around the club at the moment.

So no, you don't love your club more than us, you don't love your club more than Shrewsbury, Crewe, Sheffield United or Manchester City. You're just another club, with tents for stands and a tendency to punch horses.

Because they need something to cling to whilst watching the utter ******* shambles that they are in a non league ground.

Don’t worry though The Post will continue to say their fans are the best in the universe for the rest of time..

tents are either inflated or pitched, but not installed.

A thought occurs: Are they actually trying to be a complete laughing stock/totally tinpot for a while?

Maybe if they somehow raise their game and become just "utterly incompetent" their moronic sheep will lap it up and think its progress? - no doubt in the process hailing wally and his "management" team as messiahs and carrying them down the street on their shoulders

So taxpayers in Bristol have so far given/invested a total of 19million in this loss making energy firm, and they can seemingly 'afford' to sponsor Rovers.

Me thinks it might be time to ask Marvellous Marvin how much sponsorship he is authorising down BS3 this year.....

gaschat is priceles  - to pick one of many entertaining threads:

http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/12657/new-stand?page=2

Is "Oldgas" a City fan in disguise? His post could have been written by any of us.

It illustrates the absolute effing shambles this club has become.
Close season for 2 months, what have they just realised they are one stand (SW), and 2 promised stands ( one each end of North Terrace) light?
perhaps they're going to say they've just realised we're 2 strikers light as well.
You couldn't effing make it up. If someone went to the BBC with a comedy script about a football club based on Rovers they'd turn it down as being too far fetched.
Embarrasing shambles. Al Quadi and co should hang their heads in shame. In some ways Higgs was better than them, at least he didn't need a paid Chairman, CEO and God knows how many paid back-room flunkies to completely f@ck things up.

Still no sign of the new stand.....

So it looks like the new east stand hasn't arrived yet. I know they said it was quick to put up, but surely 4 days before the game is cutting it a bit fine.

We already know the SW stand is delayed, and people will be moved to the south stand instead. Will the people who have a ticket for the NE stand be directed back to the family terrace? Presumably some of them will need the seat they paid for and will therefore go to the South Stand. The away fans who bought seats will need their segregated area in the south stand. That's a lot of people being redirected to the south stand.

Combine that with a new automatic turnstile system that has never been match tested, it could be a fun Saturday.

You only get what you pay for

ho wait have they. Paid for the stand

I reckon Al Quadis could literally urinate on their chips ( the £4.50) ones and they’d believe it was raining 

 

The club statement says....

"because their construction is more complex, our main contractor, GL Events has encountered unforeseen engineering issues in the supply chain."

Clearly the club are laying the blame at the contractors door. Anyone saying it's the club's fault is either talking BS or alleging that the club are downright liars and are making this excuse up.

I know who I'd rather believe.
