Andy082005 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 who would stop going to watch city in protest??? i would certainly think about it No I wouldnt stop.......but I would be fuming. The fans don't want them here and it will just prove to me that the thoughts of the fans are not really taking into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest east_dundry_red Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I know a few that would stop watching city if we had to share our ground with those muppets. They should go to swindon and play there, simple as we don't want them on our pitch and can you amagin what they would do with our ground before they leave/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom buck Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 no i wouldn't stop watching city if the sags were to play at ashton gate, but i wouldn't be very happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Ciderhead Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 No way would I stop going, but I'm sure there would be some sort of protest towards the board, and i'd definitely get involved. The thought of bitter and twisted sagheads watching their basement league football and singing anti City songs in OUR stadium makes me feel sick.

MT1970 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Grow up.What difference does it make?Looks like it would bring in more cash to the club, so why not? The club is hardly brimming over with money to burn, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted March 27, 2007 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I suspect the club will play us along for a bit with the possibility of Rovers coming, so that when they announce that the rugby club is coming instead people will see it as the lesser of two evils and be more relieved than angry.

Muddy Funster Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 My only concern with the rugby club playing at the gate would be the state of the pitch, and the sags would be even worse! All those clod kicking, basement players will ruin the pitch!Remember, hopefully we will be playing Championship football against teams that play on superb pitches, and we don't want a pitch more akin to a sunday league pitch.

Topsham Red Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Everyone is talking about the pitch, but what about the actual stadium, they'll vandalise it as much as possible with Sag graffiti etc etc!Keep them well away i say. From a saghead point of view they'll be thinking it's not theirs so they wouldn't respect it one bit, the minority would trash the place week in, week out.

bringbacktherobin Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 The conversation should be Dunford : Alright steve, do you mind if we borrow your ground for a little while. We will look after it.Lansdown : No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want either! Ashton Gate is the home of Bristol City FC. Not Bristol Rovers FC and/or Bristol Rugby FC. End of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the red baron Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 i think you will find that it will be the rugby that we share with. SL will use the situation to drive up the price the city will get. Bristol RFC will probably bring 14000 gates, plus food and beer sales. Bristol rovers will bring 6000, plague diptheria and a nasty tang to the air. It would pay to mess about the rovers, as in the mind of SL they are the competition for the "floating" fan base that the city will need to perpetuate their stay in the championship, so he can put the boot in now.

giles_23_bcfc Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Rugby is played on the Doncaster pitch and it was like a snooker table on Saturday - in absolutely superb nick.Rugby League is different to Union. Plus its a new ground and pitch so should be expected. I can see your point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Of The Dolman Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I would rather Rovers played at our ground then the rugby though as the pitch would suffer more in my opinion from rugby then football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartolona Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Bristol rovers will bring 6000, plague diptheria and a nasty tang to the air.6,000 they don't even get that now, if they come here i think they would be playing in front of 3,500 Would they be allowed use of the R&W bar or would Robbored make them become members of the supporters club? but i don't think they will be coming here anyway.

formerly known as ivan Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 the reason i asked the question was because a lot of fans have put a lot of loyalty and money in to the club. if it was agreed that we would ground share, it would be like a total stab in the back. it will show that there is no feelings towards the fans of this club at all and would be an absolute disgrace.

kiwicolin Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 it wouldn't stop us going but we wouldn't be too happy about it.one thing though it would be nice to use the gas money to buy new playersor up grade the ground etc. the gas fans wouldn't be too happy helpingcity out.

NiceRed Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Will Rovers fans not get a say in where they play next season? There'd be uproar from them if Dunford just moved them into AG without some sort of consultation. I would guess the vast majority of gasheads would prefer to return to Twerton than come to us, where they'd be lucky to get over 4000. Personally, I don't care if they come to us or not, but as someone wrote above, I realise I'm in the minority on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
