Ska Junkie Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Ah, we just knew the 'massive fan base' would come into it. 'Loyal and true' can't be used anymore as they don't bother to turn up. Swindon are getting much better crowds than the swamp dwellers, play in a much tidier ground (although the away end is a disgrace), a better manager and have a new owner trying to do things correctly. 'Massive' my arse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im obviously bias but we have a potential bigger fanbase and have much more history than them and surprise surprise they aren't on our radar as a big rival and ask any Swindon fan they would take Bristol City as the game they want to see again irrespective what league you are in. As for ground potential/development they've had their opportunity over the last few years and what's happened.........nothing! I think we're leave them to continue their big Derby with Newport County P.S No mention that we done the double over them last season!

They haven't averaged close to 10k since the 70s and haven't averaged 20k since the 50s. Absolute melters. I had a conversation with one of the blue few some time ago at work about this. After listening to them pontificating about how amazing their new stadium was going to be (I think it was the UWE one, but there have been so many attempts, it's hard to recall precisely), I replied that there is absolutely no point spending probably several million pounds (which they haven't got anyway) on 8,000 to 10,000 extra seats that they are extremely unlikely to ever use consistently for some time (by which, I meant decades). The only time they would ever need more is pulling one of 15 or so teams in the country at home in one of the cups. It's largely never going to pay for itself. They'd be far better off looking at the whole conferencing/exhibition route, if they did have the bunce to do it. Expecting the typical rage and oral foaming, rather unbelievably, the bloke, I'll call him Graham, as that was his name, then completely agreed with me. I suspect, if he ever bothers to look at their joke of a forum is regarded as one of da shit as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 It's a well written rant, but you, me, anybody knows what actually happened. Pure rumour and speculation. In the mean time, he's actually putting a good squad together and getting some decent performances and results together. Getting some decent performances and results together? I'd argue the only decent performance so far was the first half against crisis club Oldham and the game against Cheltenham's reserve/youths in the tin pot trophy. Other than that we got outplayed by Mansfield with barely a chance created, outplayed and lost vs Stevenage at home, lost the game conceding 4 goals in 25 minutes vs Exeter and couldn't beat a team who finished 21st in League Two last season despite having a man advantage for over an hour.

Fresh from getting battered by Exeter, scraping a draw with the mighty Barrow and struggling to an undeserved win against Crawley , this chump is still trumpeting the championship potential nonsense. Quite what potential he believes a club with one of the worst stadiums in the league, average to mediocre support and an owner who stumbles from one disastrous manager to another has to achieve championship status is beyond my comprehension. Currently closer to non league again than the championship. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Sorry if this has been posted before (I haven’t the time to wade through the thread and check) but I just found this piece of vintage footage from 1981 at Eastville… ”Bristol Rovers are already relegated” - nothing much changes does it! ”Even Bristol Rovers managed a shot on goal after that.” That poxy hovel they called a ground. And the “good-natured pitch invasion” at the end - cleared with alsatians and police horses. My, my - they have come a long way since then haven’t they… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
