Is that a shirt or the tent cover for their "new" stand? If it's a shirt, the size has gotta be a 4x extra large. Are they hoping to lure Razor Ruddock out of retirement? Hairshirt too, which seems appropriate. Edited August 3, 2023 by Bazooka Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow ! Looks like the new sucker investor is already splashing the cash. The local rag'n'bone man must be raking it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just its kept in one super big thread on here so people who don't want to read about them can. There have been days where sagchat has had more topics about City than Rovers on its front page. @TomF regale us of the tale of the city relegation party thread on their old forum, Gather round the campfire children as this one is a doosey Edited August 3, 2023 by Monkeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me actually wants them to get promoted, get a better ground so we can have a proper derby for a change. It's down to them to get their arse in gear and play us on the pitch, but they're usually all mouth so I'm not sure why any of us lot should be bothered. NEVER want to play them again ! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 With all the bad things that can cross your path in life, if you have a comic forum thread that can make you laugh every time you read it then I am fine with being mis represented as obsessed. We have years of material to reflect on even if Rovers somehow achieved a tiny proportion of their hopes this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take far too long to explain, but wanting us to go under so that they could steal Ashton Gate would be top. Hopefully they’ll drop back out of the football league at some point and shut the door on the way out. Gone never to return, let alone another derby with their family supporters trashing our ground. No thanks. Tada Tinpot. This. One million times. I will never, ever stop hating them for what they tried to do back then Never forgive, never forget. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you, if it wasn't for having friends following them I'd not be aware of the majority of what goes on up the road but 3289 pages on here would indicate differently, sadly there is a large number that do obsess over them and vice versa It still amazes me the number of people you hear asking about their result on the way out of the ground etc Just now, Ronnie Sinclair said: Don’t want them to go bust as who will we extract the urine out of then?

red panda Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Many of us are greatly amused by the comic goings on elsewhere. If it was a TV drama we'd probably conclude that the writers had gone too far and no-one could be that tinpot. If you're not interested, then perhaps stay off this thread?

We was there when it was a proper derby with real hatred etc, whereas nowadays it is just a piss take. Personally, me thinks a Brizzle derby is a good thing for the city but that would only happen as a Div 1 game IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
