Sounded like another Clarke wonder goal too, the only goals he seems to score! With a little modification, the perfect substitution for "River deep, mountain high".

Good shout goolie gas but I was hoping to avoid driving from hotel do that I could sample the famous your pub options! Yes parkway tavern now a coop s'heads retreated back to stokers - sensible drinkers still have the beaufort. There are lots of halt type stations where you pay on the train and the bus service's are good, eg the 415 from Selby into York run's every 20 mins, as Pudsey say's it's only 30 minuets from Leeds. A lot of independent Brewers up here,my brother Brian & his son Paul use the Beaufort OK OK, I know that several posters will complain, but I have to point out that 30 minuets is quite a long time, and an awful lot of music.

Brought up in Knowle, and all my mates were City fans. My dad wasn't interested in football, but I pestered him to take me to a "proper" football match. Because he was brought up in Redfield he took me to Eastville; just the once, but from then on I went on my own. By modern standards it seems ridiculous that an eight year old was allowed to do that on his own, but things were different in nineteen fifty-three. I only had to walk to the end of our street, cross the Wells Road (in those days only the occasional car passed!), and hop on a number 4 or 4a bus which dropped me at the foot of the 'incline' by His Majesty's cinema. My brother, seven years younger, started coming in his mid-teens. My son, originally taken to reserve games, complained that he never saw the first team, so when he was six I moved from the enclosure to the old wooden stand and got him a season ticket. From then on Dad, who never saw another live football match, bought season tickets for me, my brother and my son as birthday presents each year. He was an ordinary railwayman so I don't know how he did it, but he did it for many years. I often think when people say that they support such-and-such team but don't actually go, that my dad would say "You won't get me bothering to watch twenty-two men kicking a bladder of wind around", but paid what must have been thousands of pounds to Rovers during his lifetime!

Maybe the new regime see it as the old regimes fight. They have already said plenty of times the new stadia is not dependant on today's result. I don't see the issue, oh look that last chapter just fecked off over the horizon, ta ta Thought we were just building the one.

I realize I'm a dickhead but it's not the B****thorn end and I wish people would stop calling it that! They don't sponsor us any more. There isn't a single B****thorn hoarding at the ground. Stop giving them free publicity until they start putting money back into the club!! I always call it the Blackthorn end. The Clubhouse terrace, or, the North terrace doesn't sound right. The Clubhouse Terrace sounds frightfully posh - just like you chaps that stand there.

. I hope your joking. He's already said the quarters are staying There was definitely a mention that the quarters were here to stay. The only changes proposed are the quarters changing to red to be closer to the flag of Jordan and the badge being changed to look more like the Bristol coat of arms. You see, Antonio, proof positive, if any were needed, that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Keep it up, though, it's what I enjoy most on here. Thanks BlueQuarter, as well.

If we arrange a friendly for Gibraltar and recall Gos back from his loan, then we can get the games postponed. Hang on a minute. Carlisle is on a good day for football. I don't fancy going all the way up there for an evening game. Bloody Hartlepool was bad enough. Let's just sign a couple from the Premiership and be done with it. Then an I can relax with a lovely drop of farmhouse while all the other idiots are negotiating the playoffs. You want to eat mature cheese while the others negotiate the playoffs?

when I was at school I was known as "Willie" as my second name is Wilson, when I got to the 4th form, (that gives my age away)another kid showed up in the 1st year also called Wilson, so immediately my nick name became "Big Willie" Which is great,but I suppose the other kid was known as 'Little willie' ? which isn't so good. If my name was Willie, I'd be more than happy to be 'Medium Willie'. (But not 'Nondescript Willie').

Used to love chanting "the gas, the gas, you'll never get rid of the gas" in response to shithead chants but I have mixed feelings about referring to ourselves as the gas / gas heads as was definitely not a term of endearment when I was at school surrounded by Sh1!heads! I have a fondness for "the pirates" as I think it is truer to our roots, character and Bristol's history. And I think it offers a lot more potential to us commercially, but I guess we can't change history! I see the Gas as more the fans and the Pirates as the team, a bit like the Toon and the Magpies, and the Gunners and the Gooners, etc. When commentators say something like 'playing for the Gas' that strikes me as a bit odd, a bit like saying playing for the Toon. I reckon that commentators like to refer to 'The Gas' as they think it shows a sort of insider-knowledge. Local commentators may do it to demonstrate some rapport with the fans. ISTM that supporters of other teams (in the same division) refer to Rovers as The Gas more and more - so, as we work our way up the divisions (!) it will become known to a wider extent. I think it has that ring of eccentricity that Brits, and football fans in particular, find endearing, so I'm happy with it.

Excellent. But, adopting 'The Gas' was only half of it. Giving back a name that would definitely not be adopted by the opposition was a coup de gras (when did you last hear a City supporter refer to himself as a xxxxhead?). I rather like the 'bosteros' reference in the article, though. Bristol Bosteros ...... hmm, suits 'em.

I just hope that when they design the seating that they buy seats wide enough for large people such as me, this also impacts thin people as if they have a large person sat next to them, in small seats, they (Inc me) tend to spill over to the seat next door, like what happeneds on budget airlines. thatslife
