An B.T.W. it's 15er not 14er; in reference to the year 2015. The year of course, in which you became a League Club. Non.League.Bristol.Rovers Nothing tops that period, you just can’t. They celebrate at Wycombe the week before by running on the pitch at the thought of staying up in mighty league 2. Last game of the season all was in their favour, they were going to walk it… Mansfield turn up without any kit, unfortunately for them they had to wear that shite. But, but, but…. Colin Daniel steps up in their clobber and gets the winner and all other results go against them. ******* golden!!! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 I see their Youth team lost an "epic game" 4 -3 to the mighty Leyton Orient, but apparently should be"prowed". The Bristol Live team are so far up their arses, you have to wonder whether money is changing hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 From a fan engagement and governance point of view I think we should praise the Gas on this occasion. Fair play to them for consulting with both their fans and listening to the few thoughts they had. It would have been nice if our club had carried out a similar consultation process a few years ago. Naturally they have still ended up with a camp pirate in high heels trying to squash a football, but at least they asked and listened. So praise the process, even if they've naturally messed up the result. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, it wouldn't take hours to hold in-depth interviews with their entire fan-base of just sixteen die-hards, But then again, if the only way they could communicate was by making grunting sounds . . .

We’ve got a captive audience in terms of a big-city audience and for us I think it’s a good marker post to see whether we are legitimately a top-10 side in the division in the next couple of games.” WTF is he on about? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
