This isn't about rivalries, it's about football winning out over large corporates who think they can walk over anyone they wish. I would imagine that some of the small independent traders in Gloucester Road would consider a football club to be a large corporate and have a similar view to the blue few, that they have on Sainsbury's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was this month. Those fixtures became meaningless some while ago, I certainly don't look forward to them any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Normally I would wish a club well, but the 15ers are different. They have spent 34 years now laughing at a football clubs financial misfortune, I would laugh my ass off if they slipped into admin and got a taste of their own medicine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Given the bitchfest that's broken out on nearly all the other threads about who should or shouldn't be the next manager and who is or isn't ITK, thinking about the sags' court appeal offers a bit of life relief. Whilst I've throughly enjoyed their travails over the last two years there's part of me that wants them to build their new stadium. In all the 50 years I've been following the City we've never had a decent away end in which to sing our songs whilst playing the sags. It would be nice at sometime in the future to travel to S. Glos with 4000 odd of us and really belt out "drink up thee cider" whist watching our brave boys in red giving their sad sorry rag asses a proper football hiding. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I would love nothing more than them slipping slowly into administration, selling off their assets and ground sharing with Bristol MF, while Weston-super-Mare AFC become the second largest club in the area. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Come on, we all know they're gonna win, get awarded costs, get a new stadium, get compensation, get a Brucie bonus, get a free spin and spend the change on the winning ticket for some Euro rollover. Can't believe my acca never came in last weekend, I'm ALWAYS spot on. #Hedging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider_boy Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looks like agent McCombe is on the case: Read more: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Judge-fundamental-error-refused-hold-Sainsbury-s/story-28606561-detail/story.html#ixzz3yO8HV2fb A judge made a "fundamental error" when she refused to hold supermarket giants, Sainsbury's, to the £30 million purchase of Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium. The club says Sainsbury's welched on the deal which was to pave the way for Rovers' move to a state-of-the-art new ground on University of the West of England's Frenchay campus. Rovers narrowly lost the argument in the High Court last year, but is now battling to reverse that result at the Court of Appeal. Opening the case, barrister, David Mathias QC, said: "Bristol Rovers continues its fight to hold Sainsbury's to the sale of the Memorial Stadium" He insisted that the supermarket chain was "under a continuing obligation" to go through with the deal when it unlawfully pulled out. The QC said the club had "very nearly succeeded" in winning its case before High Court judge, Mrs Justice Proudman, last year. It only lost on a fine point of contractual interpretation and Mr Mathias said it would not take much for the club to be "home and dry". "We say the judge's conclusion was wrong; we ask this court to reverse it and allow the appeal, obliging Sainsbury's to complete the purchase of the Memorial Stadium", he added. ........ The hearing before Lords Justice Laws, McCombe and Floyd continues and is expected to last three days.

Swede Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 4,000 in the away end? You must be dreaming; you'd be hard pressed to cram that number into the whole of the stadium at Cossham Street when they embark on yet another ground share before they do another "Pikey" trick.

Gert Mare Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) The parasite squatters are a bit too chirpy for my liking lately. They are currently playing their trade in a god awful league and all of the attendance obsession, 82 shouts, 2nd May, posting betting slips of whoever are playing against us "to win" on Facebook, and jacking off about the goal from Rickie Lambert in the paint pot cup shouts are coming out of the woodwork again. I think they need to be brought back to reality after 2 years of silence, desperation, and non-league wilderness football? Can someone come up with a nice YouTube video to bring them back down to earth with the huge bang that they deserve? My suggestion is the shout from Clem when the Sags were away at Forest Green "Rovers fans singing their anthem....Come On Eileen" and it could start with Come On Eileen playing and have the video of them singing the gas are staying up at Wycombe followed by them storming the pitch when relegated out of the football league, Jeff Stelling announcing that they are gone after 92 years, some news headlines about horse punching, attacking their own stewards, racist abuse, and their fans trying to fight with opposition players because they think they are too big for non-league football? How about a montage of all the goals they conceeded to some right tin-pot outfits? They need a reality check of what a poxy little outfit they really are. 82 is nothing compared to the joke they became.

YorkshireSection Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 It's a win either way it goes. IF they lose then it's goodnight Moreen forever, hmmmmmmmmm shame.......... IF they win, then they survive, clear a debt and build a scaled down version of what they originally planned, the plus side of course to this scenario is that we get to see it burn down "accidentally" and yet again they remain become homeless AGAIN.

Honestly I'm not sure there's a bigger moron on these boards. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
