An Honest Football Poll (would You?)

[Rich-TWSC-]

There is no jealousy or malice intended in this here poll but if I was offered the opportunity to join Oxford I'd tell them where to go. I'm just interesting in how many would sellout their club for the chance of pro-football

In Stewart's case when he joined Rovers they were in a much better scenario therefore he could've (probably) easily found another league club somewhere.

It's probably just me.

professionalism would have to take priority. If we were pro footballers we would view footy in a totally different way anyway.

[cider head]

Not a chance, I'd never wear the colours of pure scum..

but that just me

[bucksred]

Nor me, would never wear Baadiff, Swindle, Plymouthalmighty, Sags, Jacks, or Manure shirts in a million years.........

[elhombrecito]

If I was offered a pro contract by the likes of Rovers or Baaa-diff, I wouldn't even hesitate.

You would turn down the chance to play for man united pillock!

[deadratinmycider]

No brainer for me. Stepping stone to a very comfortable life or wonder for

the rest of your days what might have been. I'd take the contract and repent

later in life like Marcus!

[Rich-TWSC-]

It's an interesting debate... I've thought about it and there is still no way I'd play for Oxford, opportunity for pro-football or not.

I wonder if I'd asked this 6 months ago what the overwhelming majority would think?

[culverhays]

would never play for rovers or cambrdige (my other local rivals)

You would turn down the chance to play for man united  pillock!

yes i would as well

if i was thought good enough by them,theres bound to be other clubs who'd be interested eventually

[Guest Pointy]

No matter how much money i just couldnt put on the shirt (even thou I'm a girl so it would never happen anyway) even so!

i've got to much hatred to even consider it, i might be unpopular but Stewart will always be gas to me .....

[Guest marcus_has_come_home]

would definately play for any professional set up, even if it was the gas. don't have to stay forever do you?

[Guest Pointy]

don't have to stay forever do you?

But you'd still be tainted by playing for them!. its just not right

[hilltop red]

I would love too be paid for playing football, whether i was at city or rovers, it wouldn't matter( i could always do a stewart) I love playing football and to be a pro would be fantastic, at any club.

[Guest Simonty]

For me it would depend fully on who else is interested, if a lower division club was interested as well as the rivals, I would join the lower divisioned club, but if it was only the rivals, I would have to join for the money - even though I would hate putting on the shirt!

[chalky]

Hard to answer this question, i'd love to say now i would never it makes me feel sick thinking about it but once you get into pro footy then you would be very different and i could probably see it happening to everyone...

[Colorado Red]

i might be unpopular but Stewart will always be gas to me .....

Don't worry. I actually think that there's a fair few of us who feel that way.

I can't see how anyone who truly supports a club would ever dream of pulling on the shirt of their bitter rivals.

[Guest Bub The Zombie]

i feel like that too.

but when he bags 30+ this season, i wont give a ######*t who he played for in the past

[BCFC_Dan]

I could be persuaded but the fact is that our main rivals (and indeed ourselves) don't play at that high a level or pay particularly ludicrous wages. If the only professional contract I could get was at Bristol Rovers then I could probably get a higher paying non-football job and play part time for a non-league side.

[Colorado Red]

i feel like that too.

If he should do that then he will no doubt be accepted by all. But I do think that a lot of people on this site really have to at least consider the possibility that Stewart will not turn out to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. The hype over his arrival has been completely over the top. People referring to him as a City legend before he's even pulled on a City shirt. I really do hope that he does the business. But a lot of people have got really carried away over this.
