They should look at some of the ones that we have failed to get in recent matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other clubs named in the article are much of a muchness though, to be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Happy Farmer Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 This is my first post after many years of reading OTIB especially the Bristol Rovers thread. I’ve been a City fan for many decades, a season-ticket holder and have a very small shareholding. Firstly I’d like to say most Bristol Rovers fans are just like us - they support their team in the same way that we do but, there is a code amongst football clubs in this country that if your rivals are in serious financial trouble, you either do nothing or help them in someway. Unfortunately, one club has not honoured this. I’ve heard it said, even by some City fans, that all Rovers have over us is 1982. This is not the case. For those of you who can’t remember, in 1982 Mr Bradshaw and Mr Flook (both directors of BRFC) bid, I believe, £250,000 to buy Ashton Gate. Their manager at the time, Mr Bobby Gould, confirmed in an interview that this was their chance to become the only professional team in Bristol so their intentions were very clear. So, when 1982 is mentioned, Bristol Rovers fans should hang their heads in shame and shuffle their feet with embarrassment - it was not their finest hour. I’m led to believe that the current owners of Bristol Rovers are honourable people so I invite them to apologise for the actions of their club in 1982. Thank you for reading this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People won't let them forget that, though some need educating about that dirty side of what happened then. They have constantly tried to claim the moral high ground since, yet have very short memories regards trying to obtain AG, a tentative proposal to "share" Twerton Park and their strange acquisition of the rugby ground, which ended up with the rugby chairman being awarded a life presidency of BRFC for his services to "The Club". Add in them being the only professional or amateur sporting club in this region to not back Bristol's bid for the World Cup. Blaming Bristol City Council for all their ills while standing against them in local elections, not giving them a ground and claiming that everyone loves them and they're the best fans in the world, etc, etc, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'm expecting a sell-out crowd tonight. They are playing the "big boys" near the top of the league.

Unan Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 They’re playing Sutton for a 3rd time this season. I envy the Sutton fans, imagine being in THREE cup finals in one season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 If they manage to hold on to this lead, they'll have elevated themselves to level on points with Harrogate, closing in on the likes of Salford & Newport and catching up with Sutton. Still some way behind Forest Green Rovers though... #MINDTHEGAP 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
