I live in Portishead, and whilst I know it is primarily Sh1t head territory, I have, for the first time today been on the receiving end of anti-Gas sentiment.
As I am at home today I went to pick my lad up from junior school. As it was drizzling I wore my Rovers shower proof jacket. It is plain dark blue with a pair of yellow and white stripes on each arm a yellow collar and has a small pirate badge on one side and "Errea" on the other. I have worn this on many occasions without comment, it is a subtle looking garment, not like those horrible in yer face red monstrosities Teds wear. My lad wanted to stay at school and play football with his mates so I said I'd return an hour later.
As I was walking home, minding my own business I walked past a couple of lads, probably about 15 years or so, on their way home from senior school. One of them shouted something at me, I didn't quite catch it but he had an extremely nasty look on his face. His mate, obviously surprised said "what?" And the kid said "He knows" and carried on walking.
A few hundred yards further on a group of about 4 similar aged lads saw me and started shouting "Rowverrrs, Gasead"at me. I couldn't help myself and started laughing which prompted them to invite me to Fisk off etc!.
Amazing! I will of course continue to wear my jacket with pride. The Teds quite clearly can't handle our recent modest success and are getting twitchy. Let's hope our brilliant manager and team cause them more discomfort over the coming year.
Come on you Blues!

Sh!teds are so bitter it's rediculous. I'd be embarrassed to act like some I know do. The 200 page thread of course commented on by people who don't care about us, just goes to show what a joke their supporters are. Their arrogance is mind blowing, really do belive they are this massive club and that everybody else should or do hold them in this regard. One day it might sink in that they have achieved f all considering the resources and money had at their disposal. They have nothing to shout about.

Lansdown and co tried to kill this club off a couple of years ago with all those "two teams in Bristol" posters (Bristol city and Bristol rugby)
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT.
Now, once again they can see a possible threat on the horizon and getting a tad worried.
Well guess what Sh1!heads, you will NEVER, NEVER get rid of the GAS!!!!!

Word on their forum seems to be they're getting a blue away kit, next season.

You can only feel sorry for them, the years upon years of inbreeding have hit them hard.

Pathetic behaviour and its stuff like this which provokes tit for tat reactions. The hatred between our fan bases has always amazed me. After all, most of us have friends or family who follow the other team. I guess a lot of people have suffered unsavoury incidents from a minority which leads to a dislike of them all. I'm well beyond all that now but, in the past, there have been several red acquaintances who I would dearly loved to have chinned. It would have been a bit inappropriate so the temptation was resisted. Maybe this kind of festering resentment leads to stronger reactions when an opportunity arises to abuse someone from the other side that you don't know?

They have the same home kit as dozens of other clubs and their nickname isn't exactly unique either. You'd think they'd use the away kit to be original. Although TBF they are out on their own with the hashtag thing.

I understand and enjoy rivalry between fans, bragging rights and all that. It is part of the lifeblood of football fans, but I have never understood what makes a grown man or woman indiscriminately despise a whole group of people, from all walks of life, racial and social backgrounds, based solely on which team they support. It's lunacy, in my view.

I have been wanting to get it done for ages but didn't know what tattoo place would be best to get one done as I know a lot of tattooists dont like doing football tats. I was going to ask where you got it done and how it looked. Thanks for your reply though .

I really dislike the term "Ted's" It's just far too polite and misleading.... Either city fans or Sh1!heads...depending on the company you are with...
