They could never afford something as grand as this. And why would they? They would never be able to fill it. You almost had me there.

We had 5 earlier in the season but the two midfielders went back to respective clubs, one of which has now gone to Exeter on loan. We now have a goalkeeper, two CBs, two midfielders and a LB/LW on loan. Main difference is we now have an extra CB on loan Sure it wasn't Costa Coffee?

Eddie Hitler Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 4 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: They’ve finally formally announced Jamie Mac, giving details of both his playing and coaching career in full: The sheer unprofessionalism of not mentioning that he played for City is ridiculous, but just look at that first line for more amateur hour idiocy. "Bristol Rovers F.C is delighted to confirm the full compliment.... It's either "FC" or "F.C.". It isn't "F.C" A "compliment" is saying something nice about someone, what they mean is "complement". If you're going to use a long word then use the right one. 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie is the latest addition in what is becoming a long line of ex 1982 ******* Ted ***** to join our faithful and prowed famous quarters” I don't think it it fair to our ex players/failed coaches to call the Sags such names as "the city dustbin", "City reject central", "City Bide-a-Wee Rest Home" etc... Perhaps a better title would be "Bristol Rovers, The Bristol City FC Former employees pension top-up programme Association Football Club" - a long title for those long in the tooth(or denture)!

I doubt Jamie is too impressed at having 6 seasons of his career air brushed out of a press release. 6?

Fair play, you crack one off about finally playing a player you produced twice & him then keeping a clean sheet against the mighty Exeter. Definitely “coming for us”.

It’s like describing the late Bobby Charlton as the former Preston manager. Its so petty. Its this type of small minded airbrushing of history which holds them back big time. Why not acknowledge that whilst at Bristol City he was an experienced player and coach at Championship level to show his experience and credibility. Not like them to make things up or fabricate the truth is it. As you say tinpot. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 (edited) The latest example of ‘gas logic’ and obscure stats. A dangerous mix. Apparently according to this ‘club legend’ you can measure good, better best by the biggest lowest attendance. Yes that’s correct. The biggest lowest attendance! So, whilst referencing a nickname that in their heads means we are a 44 year old club, then goes on to show they are much better than us on ‘biggest lowest attendance’ for large swathes of a time that we apparently didn’t exist. However when we did exist then it would seem that we even beat them on this remarkable stat. I think the last straw may have been clutched. playtowin Club Legend 13 hours ago Just for reference. Bcfc1982ltd sports dept. Have only had 1 season that bettered our 1954 best lowest gate. Our 8078 lowest gate season was also better than 22 of 'their' seasons since 1961. To be fair i have to admit their lowest gate figures since 2016 have been pretty good. Edited February 5 by GreedyHarry 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Does the standard use of 'to be fair' justify such nonsense that nobody else can even understand? No, it does not.

Red-Robbo Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Try and gloss it anyway they like, but boasting that a crowd they had 70 years ago is better than some of our seasons' averages since is total ****. English football attendances everywhere peaked in the 15 years after WW2 then mainly declined for the next 30 years, before mounting a comeback in the 90s onwards. The sad fact for the Blue Few is our average attendance is now two-and-a-half time theirs - and we aren't even enjoying a particularly exciting season. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
