D.C. v G.C v Olly.

I've been on it too son lol yeah DC legend and Ollie of course he's Gas through and through but GC will be out of a job by Christmas but he will be at home so eh feck it. What really gets on my wick is Bristol C**y are on every radio advert and bus shelter promoting their brand and what is our response to it? If your a kid listening to the radio or catching a bus in this town then you would think there is one team in Bristol!!!!!! Come on Rovers let's fight Back and do a little advertising!!!!!

Won 2 drawn 6 seems like his typical tentative start to me

Not great

What response can we reasonably make? They’re making the most of their advantages over us. They have a 28000 all seat stadium, we have a 12000 ish ground with a mish mash of stands, tents and with far more terrace than seats. We also have fairly unpleasant toilet facilities and we have to queue in the wind and rain if we want a tea or pasty. It appears that any hope of a new stadium for us has been put on the back burner.

They are able to pay millions for one player whereas we shop in the free transfer and youth market. They are currently spending £28 million on their training ground and whilst it’s great we will finally have somewhere to call our own I don’t think it will match theirs.

However, I couldn’t give a flying F for all their glitz and sparkle because they are a soulless commercial enterprise, the plaything of an absent owner hiding his wealth in the Channel Islands. There is obviously a genuine fear that we may one day truly challenge them for soccer supremacy, hence they feel the need, together with their sponsors, to indulge in such crass one-upmanship. I doubt the average Bristolian, who isn’t interested in football, takes the slightest notice in their childish games. Let’s not forget their last attempt at rubbing our noses in it with the Snake. That ended well for them, didn’t it. All that fuss and palaver and they ended up paying 300,000 for someone who hardly ever played, paid him, I believe circa £13k per week for 3 years then gave him away to Oxford.

They are also followed by a fan base who are, once in Shithead mode, arrogant tosses who I’d rather not associate with. I’m glad there’s a river between us to keep them as far away as possible. Let’s hope that BG turns out to be the real deal, is given time and allowed to develop a young, exciting team who can bring back the good times. The signs are good, Wael is on board and here for the long term. I have a good feeling that the next 5 years are going to be an exciting time to be Gas.

I’ve nigh on forgotten where the Mem is and/or what it looks like.......🥺

Walsall on a good start? 12th in the table. That's a very generous assessment of "good".

BTW Luke James scored for Barrow. Unbelievable.
