This article just about sums up some football fans. Note the comment about a certain club not too far away. It's the only clubs out of the 120 grounds I have been watching Rovers where I have been both verbally and physically attacked. It's quite noticeable that the reporter doesn't make the same comments about the Rovers fans? Poor Johnson and Cottrell and a good job I don't here the Sh****ed songs I respectfully ask that some fans on here tone down their comments on the forum towards both the Rovers manager and the board. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/disgraceful-aston-villa-actions-prove-2083092Quote extract
I remember Steve Cotterill’s final game in charge of the Robins, when a supporter charged to the front of the Atyeo Stand to launch an expletive-led tirade at the City boss, who just eight months earlier had helped the club secure their first title in 60 years!
It wasn’t that long ago that Lee Johnson revealed he had received death threats on the back of Bristol City’s poor form and opted to move house.
I’d also add that you can’t sit through 90 minutes at Ashton Gate without hearing obscenities in songs about Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke and his family members.
All this over a game of football, how can that be right? In what other industry would the above happen? |

Good post. I was thinking only this morning that a larger than normal vocal group are beginning to turn us into Teds. The last couple of seasons we have relished the abuse given to The Squeaky One when their season was beginning to fall apart.....and now, here we are doing exactly the same to our manager. Yes, things aren't going the way we would like them to at the moment but I trust DC to get us out of this mess. We all speculate about which players we think should play each week but none of us has access to their medical records, their mental state, the oppositions strength or weakness...that is the job of a Manager. Okay, so maybe DC doesn't always get it right but he is the first to admit it. I thought the team played really well on Saturday. Yes, we have an issue with getting the ball in the net but that is all about confidence, fortune, the strength of the oppositions defence etc. I have faith in the team and I genuinely believe they will turn it around before the end of the season. As for all the talk about take-overs etc. NONE of us has any real idea. Yes, there are some that are so-called 'In the know' but we never see any evidence only the usual ' I heard it from a very reliable source....' etc. I am sure a lot of the people believe it because they read about it in the Evil Post or on BBC Bristol (City). The problem there is that the modern reporter is just lazy. They read this forum and report it as news, our fans read it as news and repeat it on here .....and so the circle of confusion goes on. It is pointless worrying about who, if anybody, is buying us out or if we are getting a new stadium. Whatever will happen will happen and there is nothing we can do about it. The Mem is like an old coat - it has seen better days but it is comfortable and it fits us. Yes soon it will wear out and need replacing but let others worry about that. Our concern is to support our team and that includes the manager (the clue is in the word 'supporter'!). I am not a happy clapper and I would love us to be at the top of the table but it is not to be.....yet. Let's get behind the team with scarves raised not daggers in the back. We are better than 'them down the road' so let's not give them the satisfaction of watching us self destruct. COYB UTG

I am told that recently one of our "fans" was ejected for racist chants, he re-entered the stadium and was thrown out again.

Good post. Sadly with football being our national sport in this country, it's bound to attract a significant number of Neanderthals who couldn't rub 2 brain cells together. Thankfully the majority are still reasonable and intelligent people who can see that it's just a game, but the idiots among every fanbase do their best to make themselves heard. I unfortunately don't see it improving any time soon, as with the era of social media and information at our fingers tips 24/7, patience is becoming something more and more people sadly do not have, and there is now a platform for all views, the good the bad and the ugly, to be aired at will on a constant basis. What's the answer? Who knows.

Absolute nonsense.
City have more coked up/mental bells than us, but only because they have a larger gate.
I find the bitter rivalry pathetic tbh, from both sides.

Seems an odd kind of rivalry, when initial research indicates a lack of divisional parity since the start of the Millennium! |

Glad to see that the BP actually posted a report mentioning the city and how they chose to mention the gas time and time again

Seems an odd kind of rivalry, when initial research indicates a lack of divisional parity since the start of the Millennium! I felt for a while that they should resurrect the Glos Cup in some form, but make it a family fun day. Bring in legends from both teams and have a fan zone where both sets of supporters can mingle and have events for the kids. Perhaps use it as an opportunity to raise money for local charities. The main thing would be to discourage the hooligan element from both clubs by making it a family friendly event. I know it won’t happen as the Police will class it as Cat A match and all the attention will be on the small minority intent on kicking ten bells of crap out of each other. |

All this over a game of football, how can that be right? In what other industry would the above happen?No offence mate but what a load of snowflake bollocks. We are no different, good or bad from any other set of fans anywhere in the country - including that lot in BS3, and if the manager or board are in any way influenced by the negative comments of a few dozen posters on here, then its no surprise we are up sh** creek at the moment is it. Incidentally, from what I was told by some Ted, Cotterill didn't get his way in the transfer market, threw his dummy out and stuck with a 352 which was taking them down. I was also told by same Ted who was in the Atyeo that day, that Cotterill pitched straight back with obscenities of his own. I'm sure DC doesn't get paid a fortune, but Steve Bruce was/is and they all know that criticism is part of the job. As for that midget lady garden Johnson, he is unsackable so I hope the talentless squeaky wide boy stays drawing his big wedge at Ashton whilst buying up houses which is his real passion, because that will mean the sh** are only going to move downwards. |

Another post about C*ty from someone apparently called “newtogas”. Not sure why the mods put up with him when going through his posts, he hasn’t made one yet that doesn’t defend them. |

Interesting perspective. However, just to clarify my last post- the S*** have more twats than us, of that I'm quite sure. Should also ask the question, why don't you allow fans of the other side on here? AFAIK, the other side allow other fans on their forum- healthy debate/local banter no bad thing. |

I don't want anyone on here taking the water and then calling it "bants" boils my water. As for them, don't tell me they don't kick off visitors when healthy debate becomes water taking. |

How people go on that sh** tip Is beyond me! |

I would agree- but my understanding is that this joint might ban people merely for being City fans- that's the cardinal sin. |
