Mr Gow Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Now they are in the same league, do we love em or hate em?Over the years i know many a City fan have a soft spot for them, and some like myself have made them a 2nd supported team, the Sags hate their guts, will we go the same way or will we treat them with the respect that they deserve?

bcfc seattle Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I hope they come in 2nd to us and we both are playing in the championship next season. I'll likely be rooting for them in 44 games next season. It should be different to have a "rival" that we kind of like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Used to follow their results when non league but since they have become the media darlings of the lower divisions (more sky games than most, more local & national press coverage than most) I really do hate them with a passion now.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mad Mal (YTFC) Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hate is a very strong word to use. Try walking around Beirut (sp), that will show you what hate really is. It is so sad if you really feel that way.Anyway, the majority of Yeovil fans wish City very well. Indeed, a few come to watch City when we are not playing.As for Sky games, we had two live Sky games last year. That was v's Bolton in the League cup & Boston (away) in the league. I can remember at least three City games live on Sky last year. So, I cannot see your argument about TV games.Best of luck next year guys & gals. I am sure you will do it this season. I have you down as my champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I like Yeovil, theres always been a nice vibe about the club and its good to see them in the league with us, i hope they do well.........as long as were above them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Perhaps hate is a strong word but I am not far off that (much more than dislike), as for TV games you are right about last season but what about the season before.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annanimo Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Ooh aah! Yeovil! They make I laugh! Me thought it was grand the way they have played right well to go from the Conference to League One. Best o'luck so 'em, so says I! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCSteve Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I don't hate them but certainly dislike them and can't wait to lock horns with them this season. Think their fans are annoying most of the time, take things for granted etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robins72 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I have respect for them and for Johnson for turning down the Derby job(god knows why he did that but fair play to him anyway!).But hope the yeovil fans don't too much when they play us and we get 6 points from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal Glover Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Hi,The bad feeling between Rovers and Yeovil last season was started due to a few idiots on both sides winding each other up and biting back (unfortunately I myself took the bait a few times). Anyway, I am all for friendly banter and local rivalry, and I certainly don't HATE anyone - well except perhaps arab fundamentalists and the IRA blowing up innocent westerners.What made matters worse last season was the fact that most Rovers fans couldn't swallow the fact that we had a better team, a better manager and played good football (thats not intended to sound arrogant BTW). I think the sour grapes were thouroughly understandable though, as Rovers obviously see themselves as the sleeping giant of lower league football, and were probably jealous of the 'upstarts' coming along from that village in Somersetshire.Once the forum banter descended into rubbish about 'inbreds', sleeping with your Sister etc (not sure it applies to me as I spent the first 23 years of my life in Bristol) I think it all got a tad pathetic.Anyway, I hope any banter between us and you guys - particularly if it is on a forum - is good natured. I am sure you will be doing a bit better than us, so hopefully there won't be any need for it. I am looking forward to coming to Ashton Gate.BTW - when I was about 11 or 12 I am sure I saw a game at Ashton Gate that ended 3-3 and all if not most of the goals were penalties (might have been Wolves but not sure) - it would have been in the mid 70s - do any of you older fans remember it or did I dream it?Anyway - good luck for next season (except when we play you) and don't (I tried to say a naughty word) it up 4-seasons in a row!!

Just as everyone else knows we aren't "just a small town in Wales" or "going down with the Rovers" or "running from the Swindon" or "easy" (usually)... banter is just a part of interclub rivalry and if you take it for what it is, it can be fun!

Guest Neo Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have no feelings about Yeovil whatsoever.I certainly can't say I hate them. On the other hand, I don't understand the "love-in" comments towards them.Provided we do better than them, outclass and outsing them home and away when we meet, that's good enough.I won't be wishing them good luck, they've had too much of that already in the last couple of years!
