They can go on about City, but as soon as you mention something about Rovers they start off with something like, “I wasn’t going to bite, but you made me” and then all of the bitterness and hatred comes flying out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re some weird cult (and yes, I did spell that word correctly). I never discuss football with any that work for me, absolutely no point, they have some collective thinking going on where it always starts with “poor result for you on Saturday” probably when we’ve drawn with the likes of Sunderland or Middlesbrough, because they can’t wait to point out that they beat Cambridge or Cheltenham. **** them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to the points above and I’ll add another to the mix: any gashead in my family (they married into the family) or friends who are ‘floating’ gas will seem to jump on the bandwagon with us when we do well claiming “it’s so good to see Bristol teams doing well”. They are really a special kind of weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when they were rivals we used to argue a lot, as you'd imagine. But constant replies like, "that's in the past" when we would say about a run of wins. While they would constantly try and remind us of any win they had had in the previous decade. As Graham said **** 'em 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I know we’ve had a bit of fun over the years with this thread but “The Gap” is getting narrower by the second now and I for one am getting just a tad concerned . They are now just 13 league positions below us in the proverbial pyramid ! If we played them next week I would not be confident of a win and they are closer to our league position now than we are to Milwall !!! We may take the pish out of their crowds and stadium but they could end up in the Championship next season , horrifyingly at our expense !!!!!

Yeah course they would They haven’t averaged over 10k for nearly 50 years, can’t even fill the Mem unless their capacity is reduced. We’re 7th or 8th highest average home support in the Championship which is superb considering the dross we’ve put up with over the last few years.

I think you're perhaps forgetting that he is a league one player playing against currently the best team in the Premier League. He did well, and was a pain in the arse... nal (making this little joke was my sole intention). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
