An appalling ramshackle stadium which is falling to pieces? A manager whose morals have repeatedly shown to missing? Being so badly managed you actually dropped into non league football? You might think from the inside you are authentic and plucky little Bristol Rovers but you wouldn't turn down our position in a million years. Are we soulless because we have a roof and actual seats? Someone willing to put their hand in the pocket so we don't turn into an embarrassment? Or are you just horrendously jealous. Enjoy your 'authenticity' I hope the roof doesn't blow off your tent. You just need to look at their reaction when Al Qadi arrived and they thought they had a billionaire on their hands. Bragging about being the biggest and wealthiest club in Bristol, suggesting they all wave fivers at Morecombe fans in the next match. The mask really slipped. As the Man City fan said to the Gashead, we are everything they want to be. They’ll never have their spiritual home back though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Gasheads? Plenty of evidence available to the contrary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm inclined to take his judgement over yours. Hill made it clear why he was playing a team of rookies and indeed had actually managed to get points playing with them. And I'm inclined to agree with Steve Evans, a man who's been in around the game longer then you have and would know something smells when he sees it. Pure corruption.

To be honest 99% of the posts you have made are at best pathetic. However, to use Steve Evans to back up your belief that you lot create an atmosphere is truly astounding. Then you bring up Trumpton. It wasn't even your ground and it wasn't intimidating, it was just shite and not unlike the Mem. At least Trumpton had 4 sides to I suppose. I used to get the impression your team was beaten before they stepped out onto the pitch at Twerton... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a reasonably good team back then, that’s the reason our record against you was not the best. Its nothing to do with the laughable suggestion that Twerton park was some kind of mini version of the Ali Sami Yen, a frightening place to visit or the feeble atmosphere created by the 4-5k blue few that could be bothered to travel down the road from East Bristol and honk the word “shithead” every time one of ours touched the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has expressed contrition for his past actions and shown a willingness to reform. Barton isn't the first footballer to serve time, and he won't be the last. The actual issue for me is that he has not expressed remorse or contrition for his past actions. As I recall, one of your players played with a tag, didn't they? You also no doubt cheered on Steve Brooker and Dave Partridge. Why are you even here? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
