Pathetic. Clearly haven't looked before they were doing well in league 2 then. Someone made a screenshot of their most popular threads and posted it on here, we were mentioned in every one. Whilst it is a forum and I accept opinions from anyone, calling people pathetic for posting is pretty low Edited April 17, 2016 by Kodjias Wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) When they went down from league 1 in what I think was 2001 they were rarely talked about, however their obsession with us increased. Tannoy announcements when we lose about 30 songs about us and relegation parties etc. It seems since we got relegated with sod we start giving them s*** and they and think we are obsessed with them :laugh:!

BS2 Red Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 13 hours ago, Smaller than a flea said: Our place is historically one League below you, and it looks good for now. Love him or mock him, our manager seems to be doing a great job. Could it be three promotions in a row? Too early to guess, but we're on the up at last. Why not make it four promotions in a row with a Premier League win soon after? Soon after that you will be declared an international side and go on to beat Germany 15-0 in the World Cup final, before beating Mars 32-0 to become Solar System champions. Or maybe you should actually get promotion from the basement before rubbing your mouths about future success? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some City fans (plenty on this thread) are genuinely trying to convince people that Rovers are just as worse off now then they were. Rubbish OK, it's laughable that some think they are one of the richest clubs in the world, but they are clearly in a much better position financially then they were, and certainly much better financially now then a lot of teams in League 1 and League 2.

It's obvious it would be a large thread as it's just ongoing, and with the news of the stadium, new board, Sainsbury's etc there has been lots to talk about (as well as the usual digs, jokes and banter). No idea why people should be offended by one thread, it's not like they are forced to read or partake in it. I guess people have so much free time on their hands they just like to have a moan...

How many times have we seen the Gas and their threads slating Steve Lansdown? Even referring to him as 'Pantsdown'... that is sad and pathetic quite frankly, only thing which is ever more sad is they find it hilarious.

Monkeh Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 On 15 April 2016 at 14:13, Seventeen said: Doesn't matter whether they are multinational or not to me. There was a article a few years back when we first did it about how we raised more in sponsorship than at the time premiership clubs Bolton and Wigan. Wigan were sponsored by 188Bet that year I believe and received £50,000, we were sponsored by N-Gaged(fix) and received £85,000. The main thing is that we raise a lot more than the majority if not all League 2 & 1 clubs by doing this and a lot more than if we sought out a individual sponsor directly. As for being sponsored by a boozer, you lot like laugh but it doesn't bother me. Local business that took their chance in the draw, at-least their logo looks decent on the shirts compared to some of the crap we've had in recent years! Now being sponsored by Vanarama... it sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. Bullshit, if it raised more then established clubs then why aren't they all doing it?

pride of the west Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 With this shirt sponsor thing, don't all the entrants get a load of benefits such as a box for a game and program sponsorship etc? Thus diminishing the value they actually get for the raffled items? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Fair to say is it not that a significant minority of Rovers and City fans are obsessed about the other regardless of what might be written on this forum. That will never change. Neither will the fact the silent majority either could not really care less, have a cursory interest or would be quite happy if both teams did well.

I have seen no real sign of that yet.They seem not to be able to afford a Stadium without other investment. No proof that any debt has been written off. Perhaps Wally was expecting millions from Sainsbury ? What makes you think they are better off financially ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis70 Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Been Rovers since 1975 when my dad took me to the first game of the season on his shoulders and stood on the open end. What I can say with the new owners is that they have for the time being, as it stands made us solvent. All I really want is for my three sons to have a team to be proud of and yes even if we don't go up this season whatever the "banana" skin might be, we love our team. We have our Rovers back!! Enjoy Happy dazes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
