We got chatting football and I asked him if he got to many home games. "The last one was at Twerton when Gerry Francis was managing us ... but I've been to Ashton Gate to see you lot a few times since then!" I know just a few Gasheads (thankfully) and not one goes regularly They must all be waiting for a trip to Wembley, just like @Robbored 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Mate of mine is a gashead - he now watches the rugby at AG. His words, "much better than watching Rovers with their crappy facilities". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 5 or 6 went to big home games and mostly away games. Apparently thats more the culture for them lot. It makes sense to mostly go to away games as you visit grounds with decent facilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 The Sammy Igoe stand?!? He played 5 minutes for them at the end of his career when he was desperate. If he made that sort of impression in that short time it really does show how 5hit they are. How much more desperate can you get? A trainspotting tinpotter.

A bloke more associated with Portsmouth, Swindon, Reading and Havant & bloody Waterlooville than the Gas This is one of many things I don’t get about the blue few. Geoff Bradford was the only Rovers player to play for England whilst with them, I’m also pretty sure he scored on his only appearance. Mike Barrett died tragically young whilst still a player, Stuart Taylor is their record appearance holder, others like Harold Jarman & Alfie Biggs are legends to them. None of them have any part of their ramshackle ground named after them, every club, no matter at what level, has stands or standing areas named after people associated with the club the way we do with Atyeo & Dolman. They don’t even possess the thought process to do this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, so clever they could clearly do with him at the ground to 'keep his hand in' maintaining it. Some bobbles and puddles on the pitch would improve the realism. Also needs some more canvas:- https://www.shutterstock.com/search/miniature-tent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
