Phileas Fogg Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Their owner has retweeted something about them having more Facebook 'likes'. Imagine Lansdown doing that, it simply wouldn't happen. Different league of professionalism and class. As @Tomarse alluded to, it's not inconceivable they purchased likes. I wonder if they have..

Admin Ian M Posted August 8, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Given the news on Facebook that they actually have more followers than us it makes the fact their attendances are always worse than ours an even bigger indication that they have the worst supporters in the country.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 16 hours ago, bcfcfinker said: It was reported recently that SL owned every team in Bristol bar Rovers (it is clear to every City fan why this is the case). IF Rovers ever move to their new ground, that will be rectified. As to a Rovers fan having a pop about attendances? Just goes to prove that idiocy is endemic in the Rovers gene pool (a very shallow pool I know). It is actually the only pool without a deep end.

It would also appear that, if we assume Saturday's attendance to be an average for the season, then they will only have beaten that figure 9 times in their history.

You mean the 1950's ? Ah, but what a manager Rovers had then eh Rich ? Clough, Ferguson & Shankly all rolled into one with just a touch of the Arsene although we won't go into that. Up at post 11199 RumRed has a photo of Stephen Lansdown and in it I have to say he looks just like a farmer I used to buy gallons of cider from goodness knows how many years ago. This is not intended to be disrespectful. In fact I wonder how many other fans thought something similar when they saw that photo. A typical West Countryman - one of your own you might say - and certainly not the stereotypical image of a grey faceless businessman. I thought it was rather nice. On the other hand Rovers now have a non-Bristolian owner for the first time in our history and we must work out how we are going to adapt to this situation and compete with Bristol City in a way which will inspire our fans and attract neutrals to our cause. I would suggest the rather weedy response of re-tweeting about Facebook likes which can be purchased for £ 120 per 10 000 from thesocialguys.co.uk is a sign that we have not yet come up with a winning strategy.
