Engvall’s Splinter Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) On 15/01/2023 at 23:32, Ashton Hero said: As other contributors to this thread have informed me, its actually natural for a city fan to take an interest in rovers affairs and vice-versa. Its unfortunate that there aren't more forums where fans of both clubs can interact and communicate, preferably without resorting to cheap and stupid insults, as you have done - I see educational standards and general standards of civility haven't improved in south Bristol since I last visited. Laughable that you think North Bristol is still blue. Edited January 17, 2023 by Engvall’s Splinter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in my lifetime, they have averaged higher attendances than us 5 times ... 1960, 1961, 1964, 1965 and 1983 So Rovers finished higher than City for 13 consecutive seasons; 1948-49 to 1961-62, but they only had more spectators for five of those seasons.

They had a very useful side in those far off days- An old friend of mine played for them throughout the entirety of that period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of ours, the 94/95 versions (1st and 3rd kit) were the best I can remember. Soon followed by the nadir of the 'Tesco Bag'. Nah, we leave that sort of thing to you lot to get your pub team shirt sponsorship! Edited January 17, 2023 by BrizzleRed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to change the shirt for next season when you play them in the league after your forthcoming relegation. Talking of shirt changes, this is probably my favourite of all time.

We've got super Nigel Pearson, He knows exactly what we need, Vyner at the back, Nahki in attack, He's gonna take us to the Premier League. Doesn't matter if you believe it or not, we've been singing "we're by far the greatest team" for years and no one believes that. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Those are the sort of tables that usually have old bubblegum stuck to the underside. To be fair the rest of the room looks not too bad, but you can't feel comfortable with the furniture arranged like that - you expect Mr McKay to be walking down the aisles jangling his cell keys. Did Joey get the layout idea from previous experience? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
