How long before our Gaseous friends do summat similar I think they do, a couple of times each month on their playing field.... it's widely known about because it's witnessed by dozens of people each time...

Both teams are perennial underachievers, yes it’s nice to have a great stadium but would you swap allegiance if the shoe were on the foot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that a higher league position and better facilities might sway a few new to football, but my family have supported City since 1900 or so. If they’d supported Rovers since then I’d be sat in a tent. Just how it goes. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers may well be shite, but that has no bearing on my support for them and if we did go out of existence, Bristol City are the last team I would be going to support ! I will be down at your place v Stoke this season though (a work thing and I will be in the away end), so it will be my first chance to see Ashton Gate since the development., but whatever I think of it, I won't be switching sides Good , we don't want you . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I might get to the point where the embarrassment of being associated with such a shit tip of a club, who treat their fans the way they do and the utter Mickey Mouse aspect of a bunch of complete no hopers, might put me off sticking with the club that I used to think I loved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless! The “Horeseshoe” would be one way of describing the home section of the stadium, where our new 11,000 capacity West stand joins into our new 6,000 capacity South stand, which then joins into our refurbished 6,000 capacity East stand. Within these stands is a concourse running the length of the home sections, with hundreds of TV’s, numerous catering kiosks & bars, decked in historical Bristol City & other Bristol sporting reference. Outside of this area is the fan village, where there are numerous food outlets, bars, a live music stage & statue of club legend John Atyeo, and the entrance into our sports bar, which houses the largest indoor screen in the uk. Next to that area is where the new £100million expansion project for the new sports Arena, hotels & leisure park are earmarked. That “Horseshoe”...! Oh, fingers crossed that these high winds haven’t caused any disruption to your new stands...! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Every day when you read this thread it underlines just how lucky we are. The two clubs are poles apart. There is nothing in common apart from the word Bristol. It is utterly shambolic the way they are run and I cannot see any future for them other than starting again as a Phoenix club and relocating to Twerton Park (If they'll have them) such is the continuing debt their riddle me owners are piling onto their one and only down trodden asset. Oh well, never mind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, we have something similar at the Mem, it's called the car park, it has several portacabins some of which you can buy scarves & rossettes in and once you walk through the 'car park' you can go through the turnstiles where we have 'pasty huts'. Please don't let the name mislead you though, these 'pasty huts' don't only sell pasties, they do pies and sausage rolls as well :) 2 1 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
