(a) Does the TV have a scart socket ? … they need one to connect their VHS player/recorder to it (unless anyone has an adaptor plug they can donate? ) (b) Will the TV work off a 12volt car battery via a cable with two crocodile clips and a loop aerial? - as it will be sited in a tent. Oh, its great that its free to collector, but Worthing is fair old trek from Whorefield and the mini bus/van is a bit thirsty, so any fuel you can chip in for will be much appreciated - afterall the Gas will be taking it off your hands for you. It has all of those things but they can **** off for the petrol money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the few things I'll stand by their side on. It's an absolute joke and we're actually not too far away from it affecting us, so we need to look at the bigger picture. I'm all for p*ss taking in every other instance but I'll agree with the sags on this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for p*ss taking in every other instance but I'll agree with the sags on this one. I was chatting to a sag in work yesterday about this. Apparently only 33 went to Swansea. Credit for that boycott. I asked if they’d go if they got to Wembley though. Their honest answer was they weren’t sure and it was a dilemma. It would be hard not to go and see your team play at Wembley and the usual 10,000’s of day trippers that go with both City or Rovers, probably wouldn’t care about supporting the boycott. I think I’d be tempted to go if it was a proper first team fixture, but if they were to be playing against some under 21’s team then I just couldn’t get behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah not a chance I'd go and see City against any U23's/U21's side, Wembley or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think their support is the envy of the land and something special but when you take into consideration the catchment area they have it’s pathetic. Ours isn’t much better (3.8% to their 1.8%) but at least we don’t go around pretending otherwise. Best thing about that table is that all the clubs those arrogant tossers sneer at for having ‘shit’ support are above them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really be bottom as isn't that the population of the city of Bristol, not the whole thing which is over 1 Million nowadays? • Metro 1,006,600 That equates to 0.825% putting them BOTTOM.

Whoever shouted you down is talking shit. Burnley’s population is only 70,000 yet they’ve regularly had average attendances between 13k and 20k depending on the division they’re in. The main difference between us and the Gas is that we don’t pretend our support is the envy of “tinpot teams” (as the Sags call them) like Accrington and Fleetwood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
