Really wateres me off how he claims Bristol for his evil empire.
He knows that a huge chunk of the football fans in this city will never submit to his despotic plans.
But the force is strong.
Presumably that's why GC signed up Luke.

A Steve Lansdown production for Bristol City Council? Plenty of Teds in evidence but not a mention of us. Apparently the film was made when the Gas were playing away and they couldn't find any supporters.....
Shown at the Harbour Festival last weekend. Ridiculous. Remoaners,Sh1!heads and other lefties from our once fine city... The 3 kinda people I dislike the most from here now.(The City remark is tounge in cheek btw) It is abit of a disgrace for whoever make this video that there were 3 City shirts,and a flag in that video yet not one Rovers shirt/remark or a Glos Cricket Shirt.The Rugby club is a brand of Bristol sport. Seeing this video makes me remember how sh** this city has become in the last 20 years.And thats nothing to do with those from Ashton.Complete bollox!!

Yes let’s go back to the days of the St Paul’s and Hartcliffe riots, the days when violence in the city centre every weekend was normal, the days when the harbour side was a derelict mess, the days when foreign residents were from Wales not Spain, or France or Poland. The days when there were about 6 pubs on the whole of Gloucester Rd and the top restaurant was the Sun Valley chip shop! Unfuckingbelivable that someone would think Bristol a better city then than now. But then there are plenty of people that hark back to the days of their youth of an insular, violent and xenophobic country and have voted for it to be that way again. I wish we could split the country in two and those that want to be stuck in a time warp can stay there and the rest of us can get on with being global and embracing of cultures other than our own and people that look and talk differently than us.

Im 37 years old and have seen changes in our city over the last 20 years that I dont like.Im not racist,xenophobic or any other nasty tag anyone wishes to tag me as.I just dont like not feeling that my home city is not the one I grew up in which I liked before..Im free to feel that way by the way!👍

Don’t see why so many are nibbling at this, literally a video funded by our rivals and those who we have failed/troubled business dealings with us.

As this is nothing to do with Rovers, why is it here?? It's another example of our fair city having a great opportunity to promote league football as part of Bristol. However the decision to ignore the oldest club should be highlighted. Hence the posting. The council should be spending its money on better things like the homeless, so as they appear according to some posters to have sought and received sponsorship maybe we didn't want to contribute ? No idea just wondering. By the way, I didn't see any rugby shirts but maybe I missed them. Also someone in a EU shirt seemed to get a fair bit of attention but again unsure if a Brexiteer had the same exposure. My point being this 3 minutes of crap isn't representative full stop and if I was from outside the area I would laugh at the cack handed crock of sh**e that it is.

Growing up in Speedwell wasn't amazing during the 90s Each to their own, but I'd love to know why you think it was better before? A LOT of my mates have moved here from outside and love the place and I have to keep reminding them it was sh** before (in my opinion)!

My tirade as you call it has everything to do with icegas's post who claims Bristol has become sh** in the last 20 years and that it is down to remoaners and lefties who are 2 of the 3 kinds of people he detests the most. Well the 3 kind of people I detest the most includes "righties" (who are equally as divisive as lefties) and "Brexshit loving xenophobes". Hope that helps.

I never claimed Bristol has become sh** in the last 20 years due to remoaners or lefties...So stop spinning my words.
Bristol is the most developed,rich city in the south outside of London.Rebuilding everywhere.Housing,shops etc..cant knock that.Apart from with the gas and for years with City.We dont have a new ground due to the those lib twats that now live where I grew up in horfield.
My problem is most of it is for students.To rent is so expensive,to buy even harder.There is alot of money in this city but its in the pockets of people that were not born here but move here for a quality of life.
Just for the record my political views are just right of center.Disagree that "righties" are equally as divisive as lefties and are "Brexshit loving xenophobes".The far right maybe.But at least with most on the right they will except your choice unlike the left with the brexit... - which has been pure disgrace!

This is probably not the right place to go off topic on Brexshit but for the record the far left want Brexshit just as much as the far right. I don’t know why people don’t know this. The far left want to state subsidise everything and the far right would state subsidise nothing including the NHS. The far left can’t implement such subsidies in the EU. The far right want to de-regulate everything including citizens rights and protections, again something they can’t do in the EU. Brexshit is for extremists at both ends and and it’s the biggest con ever infested on the British people.

What a load of sh1te that is, glad there's no Gasheads involved, it's hardly selling the city to outsiders is it? Probably gonna get flamed for this but do we want to sell the city to outsiders anymore than we have done? The cost of accommodation is disgusting these days thanks to the influx of Londoners and born and bred Bristolians like me are being priced out. It’s also changed a lot over the years thanks to the gentrification that comes from such migration and not necessarily for the better. Stokes Croft was a hovel back in the day, sure, but I’m not sure ‘hipsterising’ it with a plethora of artisan bread shops is the right sort of improvement as artisan bread shops are more shoreditch than they are Bristol. What I’m kind of trying to say is it sometimes feel like Bristol is losing what made it Bristol and becoming ‘New London’

This has quickly degenerated into a brexit debate of left vs right.
There’s one thing worse than plastic football supporters. Plastic Bristolians. Only kidding, a little. There’s a bloke from Brighton at work that went to a few City games when they were doing well in the cup. Insisted on calling City Bristol, me and one of the few other genuine Bristolians had to educate him but he just didn’t get it.
I quite like some of the hipsterness. We have some really cool places to go and drink, and by that I mean entire streets of restaurants and bars, there’s something for everyone with a neighbourhood to suit everyone. There are pioneering Breweries in every neighbourhood.
I can understand why people want to move here. Then there’s the fact that we’re receiving billions in investment from companies setting up technology departments in the area.
I went to Cardiff the other week and went to the international pool. It was a really good experience but it left me frustrated. Why can’t we attract top sporting facilities like that here? Why can’t we get an arena. The less said about our transport, the better. If we sort this sort of stuff out Bristol and Bath will explode even further. How much do we want that?

No your second paragraph doesn't help at all, you need to have a lie down ffs. You cannot take the moral high ground adopting such an approach. Totally agree with your first paragraph by the way. Every major city has much better facilities than 20 years ago but in the majority of instances have a council that supports the development of the city rather than posture on national and global matters, regardless of their political colour. Bristol has been taken over by home counties hipsters and crusties who do not want anything commercial in their backyard and the moniker "biggest village in Europe" can sadly often be applied to Bristol.

Manchester is unrecognisable from the grim Northern place it used to be. Even Sheffield has smartened itself up. Bristol has always been a prosperous mini London compared to other cities. Even in the crappy 60s and 70s, it was still better than most other places. The hipsterisation of Stokes Croft is just what happens to some districts and not to others. I don't see too many artisan bakeries in Staple Hill. And for anyone who misses how it all used to be, all they have to do is visit the Mem.

To clarify investment is all private sector led, politicians aren’t interested in this area.
