Slippin cider Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 And you’re not allowed to jump up and down if they score! ....it’s just not allowed ..so stop it! .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just now, Slippin cider said: And you’re not allowed to jump up and down if they score! ....it’s just not allowed ..so stop it! .. That did strike me as a strange request TBH but it seems more to do with the pushing and shoving if / when the peasants score. I think back to the old east end surges, what on earth would the H and S mob make of that nowadays? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Surely their best solution to this is to have a section where they tolerate enthusiastic spazzathons. You can't expect such a success starved club to stop their supporters going berserk when they win a throw in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Henbury Gas Gas about an hour ago Quote Hugo the Elder said: countygroundhotel said: I'm confused how if you trip in a crowded gangway you could fall into the pitch side fence but apparently an empty gangway will prevent this. I'd take the bloke seriously if he talked any sense. Taking the fun out of football I would suggest is the way that attendances will fall. Perhaps we could ask those inconsiderate players to stop scoring thus stopping all that dangerous celebrating. Is it really that difficult not to stand in a gangway and not to let off flares? It's not asking much is it. That's the sort of thing i would expect from our friends south of the river, not true gasheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Is it us with racism problems? No Is it us with supporters appearing in court accused of sexual offences caused by playing boob cricket? No Is it us who has received a warning from our Chairman over behaviour in our stadium? No Is it us that's 'been frew 2 divorces, Labour frew the Thatcher years, sob, sob' 'I would rather my dog died'? No Extreme smugness on our part methinks, as usual! The idiot from Henbury is living in a parallel universe! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Could not stop laughing when I read this in the post this morning. Losing £ how much per week? lines of credit dried up? supporters club money going missing, ground capacity reduction (isn't much capacity anyway and now no standing and cheering when they score. In recievership by March if they don't raise some cash It's the gift that keeps on giving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Let's be honest, a reduced capacity would be a real problem for them....if they ever sold out their existing capacity on even a semi-regular basis... As we know that doesn't happen, it's pretty much an empty threat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Bristol after all So it is all bullshit then. This meeting was instigated by the opposition, who think that dialogue with the club/owners will get them a better deal for their area. The club/ owners representatives met the opposition and listened to the oppositions wish list about revenue streams for the "new stadium" who told them that they are (considering) building a new stadium and that if it's built, it will be self funding. So, apart from meeting the representatives from the area, at their request, who still refer to it as the Memorial Ground, nothing has happened. Local media non story, to keep the blue hordes happy, unless I've read the info wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I know this is as much the doing of the Bristol Post as that mob up the road, but to call a podcast "Gassing out loud" is just hilarious! Does anyone connected with them ever stop to think that so much about that club just makes us laugh, and laugh some more before they just serve up another portion of hilarity?! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-post-launches-new-bristol-613481 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Isn't gassing out loud doing a rumbustious fart? Seems appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule The Waves Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 An acquaintance of mine who is fairly well known in and amongst the Robers hierarchy is of the opinion the rubbish about reducing capacity is a smoke screen for them to justify closing stands and therefore reducing their running costs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
