April '99 Whilst in Staffs,we won 4-1 at Stoke.I was euphoric and a Stoke yob had a right go about being a 'Bristol B-----D'.
I still had a few months left serving in Staffs Police and was delighted to produce my warrant card and eject him.I advised him that I wished we played rubbish like Stoke every week!!! The following season we won 2-1 with a late winner from Mark Walters-ex Stoke.
However,not long afterwards they were in the Prem and we were in the Conference!!!!!!!!
Emotional moments which encapsulate watching the Gas.

Was forcibly moved from Bristol to Mid Somerset 7 years ago, I've not been to a game now since 2016 In my wee lovely home on the edge of a street I'm happy listening on the radio or watching final score, my days of being a drunk asshole of a supporter are now long dead. I prefer my garden and redecorating my wee home. But ever matchday I'm glued to the tv ir phone' does that make me a bad supporter' I still buy merchandise from the club shop! Are you ever intending on going to The Mem again mate? |

Are you ever intending on going to The Mem again mate? My health these days is not clever, I not only have chest issues but I also have osteoarthritis and will eventually need 2 new knees. On top of that I'm not financially sound thereforevreturningbto the mem is not an easy decision sadly' or viable |

On top of that I'm not financially sound thereforevreturningbto the mem is not an easy decision sadly' or viable I know your pain on the knee and in my case hip front. Can't stand for 90 minutes, but equally can't sit for any length of time either, especially on the type of seats at sports ground and concert venues which are hard and have literally no leg room to stretch out when I need to. After one game last September it took me almost an hour to limp to my car up by Tesco afterwards. Getting old is becoming a f&&king pain |

It would look alot better if we carried on the south stand to replace the west stand in the same way as the south stand is built

Yeah need to do something, if that's the finished paint job it looks awful IMO. Far too bright and completely wrong shade of blue, looks like Man City. |

Bring honest I think it looks dreadful in that colour. Would look much better with a white roof like the majority of stands these days. |

Perhaps that shade was chosen as it’s close to the colour of the sky, so appears less intrusive when viewed from nearby houses. |

I assumed it had been photoshopped in and wasn't the real colour.

If it had wooden exterior, some trellis, some nice lighting, it would be far better. I think I would hate to look out window at the back of the south stand if I'm honest. |

Only GasChat could see the first tangible improvements to a rovers stadium in decades and grumble it hasnt got any trellis!
But that aside, hope the new stands look to do something a little more sustainable with PV panels and/or a green roof in the design

I've put forward an idea to improve the aesthetics of outside of the ground, its horrible, can't a imagine many think otherwise... But then you hope that the roof of new stands will be green. 🤔 |
