Partly because I owned an unreliable POS that happened to be blue, but also because...well, you know. Toothbrushes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Red is obviously our colour but we were the first league club in Bristol to wear blue anyway so there’s no issue really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 While we’re on the subject, I’m still not over the fact that the squad is wearing sky blue everything all the time. Despite club colours being red and white, the away kit being black and the third kit being yellow. It makes no sense at all. You wouldn’t guess this was Bristol City in a million years if you didn’t know. Sooner we get rid of Oneil the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Correct. Would never buy blue trousers. In fact, I had to borrow a pair of My Mate Marv’s blue pantaloons when I made an appearance once at the Pissporial. Felt quite sick wearing them.

A Darkwood Red Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I was in the shell garage on York Rd (by Fowlers) once, a guy infront of me asked to buy a lighter, so the young girl serving reached back and picked out of the box and handed to him. He started raging at the girl who looked completely lost and confused "I'm bit having that, I can't have that, I've never owned any red ever, get me another one, any colour other than red" She handed him another and he walked out muttering under his breath. Poor girl looked completely lost until I explained the guy was a Bristol Rovers fan (he had a quarters pin on his coat) and that he couldn't have a red lighter because City played in red. She shrugged her shoulders and asked "all that over sport? What a weirdo". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never buy a quartered shirt, specially in that horrible blue, but it's not like 'they' are much more than an after thought. Even as a chap who’s well past 50 I still can’t help myself when I’m in a car or out shopping and I see those horrible quarters or something with that stupid pirate badge on it I do my spit the dog impression , sad I know just can’t help it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 We've been above them for decades. They are irrelevant to us. Why would anyone make them relevant to us by not buying or wearing blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 When I was young I loved the Italian football shirt, what a beautiful blue! Blue and white quarters are easily the worst thing you could put on a shirt, even Blackburn’s halves are hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 I avoid a well known German car maker because of the tacky badge. In fact, I was looking after one a few years back and was driving around with brown tape covering the badge in the middle of the steering wheel.

Harry Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 20 hours ago, Eddie Hitler said: I'm fine with the colour blue because I am very nearly a mature adult. That way I can look down on an ignorant petty child like Ian Holloway who says he would never buy a red car, won't sit in a red chair, banned red cars from Bristol Rovers' training ground. What an utter prat he is. "I remember meeting him years ago, when he'd just taken over as manager at Bristol Rovers," says Steve Tongue, this newspaper's football correspondent. "I was early and I sat down to wait for him in his office. When he arrived, he made me exchange chairs with him because mine was blue and his was red [the colour of loathed rivals Bristol City]." Holloway also banned red vehicles from the training ground. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ian-holloway-in-a-league-of-his-own-324844.html 1 hour ago, Oh Louie louie said: Holloway played for Brentford, who wore red and white, abondoned his principles what a hypocrite Exactly. It’s just attention seeking. As per the story above - the story is based in Holloway’s own office. If he was that bothered, why would he even have a red chair in his own office anyway. Answer - he didn’t. It’s bullshit attention seeking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Blue in itself doesn’t bother me (although like an others have said blue and white is a big no). As a kid playing board games, if there was a blue counter it would be my last choice and it probably still would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 A lot would be triggered by the training jackets the players were wearing on those training videos this week (more of a turquoise though I thought). I wear quite a lot of navy blue clothes and don't associate that with Rovers, and funnily enough I don't like wearing red despite the fact its our colours (its too conspicuous for one who likes to keep a low profile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 My Uncle used to live in Scotland and knew a Rangers-supporting protestant who refused to eat anything green, which feels a sightly extreme element. Unsurprisingly I quite like things that are red but I'd have no problem wearing or buying anything blue as long as it doesn't come with any white quarters.
