It was so long ago that it was a buglers coach and Shem, Minnie and a couple of others tagged along. Then they damaged the effin seats, Buglers wouldn't take any more bookings. My one and only coach. Bedlam that day...........made the Daily Fail, their hack had his brand new white Jag sprayed up with"City" John Parsons ,I think his name was, he never liked us after that ! Yes it went right up that day, counted seven coaches (mostly private) coming in. Kicked right off on the actual London Road (main rd through the town). Always remember a large mob of Posh chanting "Come on Bristol" 'till they went round the corner and found a much bigger mob of City waiting.............they tried to sh*t out and run,but never quite made it ! suffice it to say.....their boys took a hell of a beating ! 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By disproportionate, I refer to the amount of fans actually turning up to games and committing offences, when compared to clubs with far bigger supporter bases.

Even though you claim "other teams, including City, are just as bad", which is obviously not the case. I've also posted this on a topic dedicated to BRFC, not other clubs.

I do apologise for misrepresentation though, it wasn't my intention to suggest that you condone any violence City fans have previously been involved in, which I assume you are happy to condemn. In answer to your first point. By obvious, I mean, the figures quoted prove that proportionately there have been more incidents in recent times carried out by supporters of BRFC, than anything by BCFC supporters. So in that respect it's obvious. Potentially it could change, as we all know but, I'm referring to recent times and events involving BRFC supporters. Second point. As previously stated, the figures are there for you to see which proves that at this time BRFC have a problem with more people carrying out misdemeanors proportionately, than Bristol City supporters. You are aware of those figures and haven't disputed them. Armed with that knowledge, you claimed that City were just as bad. Definition of a lie: To make a false statement with the intention to mislead, deceive, an intentional untruth. You might call that an opinion, I call it a lie. I'm very happy to condemn any violence, regardless of who does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that over a period of time you and Miah have had an easier ride on here, than some other supporters of BRFC, who just want to have a dig and I welcome both of your contributions usually. In your case I wonder if being a female cuts you a bit more slack. But please, if you're going to post on our site, have something disputing or even constructive to say on the relevant topic, rather than trying to be clever and, failing miserably. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
