If they do manage to get themselves relegated then they'll be in the same division next season, how will that make them 10 years ahead of us? Next season we could be pushing for a top 6 spot whilst they are trying to come to terms with life in L1. Very unlikely I know but all a possibility. Because they have a stadium. Because they have double our attendance. Because they have top facilities. Because they spend millions whilst we spend half a pack of munchies. If they came down they’d be favourites to get straight back up. They were 10 years ahead of us when we were getting 3000 gates following the move from Eastville to Twerton, when Gerry's team beat those Sh*t heads time and time again. |

I thought city were floating about in mid table. I don’t really follow the championship to be honest. Some quotes on their new manager: ‘’Worst football in years. Get rid of the clueless PE coach.’’ ‘’ Get rid of the boring c***’’ ‘’To many of these performances under manning. He’s out of his depth. As for Lansdown and Tinnion, truly **** off ’’ “Should never have been appointed. Gtfo now and take tins with you. ” “Sack how, that's sum of the worst football I see in a long time“ “ Manning has lost the fans and the players it seems. He has to go.” “Sack the doorstop!” “Manning, his coaching team, analysts and most importantly TINNION all must go” “l see lots of signs of concern, we're absolutely terrible, awful to watch.” “Manning ball is boring football . Manning is clueless like Jon Lansdown” Nice bunch aren’t they? 😂 |

150/1 to get relegated with Paddy Power... It's obviously unlikely they will but it's not a 150/1 shot. Those odds could easily look very different in 4 games time. very good odds in a tightly packed division where a couple of defeats has you knocking at the door of despair |

Zero chance of city getting relegated this season. Even if they lose the next 6 on the bounce. Lansdown will sack Manning and bring in a new face,the new manager boost will bring the few wins they need to stay safe.
If they do get relegated ,it would be hilarious how badly they would have capitulated.

Some of you will never learn. For how sh** they are doing. They are literally 10 years ahead of us(that's if we move fast and they stand still) The championship is arguably one of the best leagues in Europe too. If they do manage to get themselves relegated then they'll be in the same division next season, how will that make them 10 years ahead of us? Next season we could be pushing for a top 6 spot whilst they are trying to come to terms with life in L1. Very unlikely I know but all a possibility. Next years imaginary scenario wouldn't change things. There's teams in lg2 that are ahead of us. Our infrastructure, attendances, club profile, professionalism, etc is borderline amateur. Just walk around the ground and look at it! Then if you go to somewhere like Bradford, Notts County, Swindon, you'll see how tinpot we are. City are miles ahead in every single department. |

Do you disagree about the 3 mentioned or are you arguing that city and us are equal in some way?(or would be if they came down-like Topper seems to suggest..) |

If they come down when the fixture lists are produced it'll show Bristol Rovers v Bristol City Bristol City v Bristol Rovers Similarly if Stoke drop down and PV stay up that's all the fixtures will show. Who finishes higher next season will be down to how they cope after what would be a shock relegation, not whether or either team is 10 or 20 years ahead of the other. MK Dons as an example went from a Championship side to a L2 side playing in probably a better stadium than AG. |

If being in the same division is all you care about then that's fair enough. I don't think that ignoring every other aspect of what makes a football club is the right way to look at it though. Again, the stadium is only one factor. We are non league in that respect. Each to their own though. If city come down and we are above them after matchday 1, feel free to tell everyone that our club is better🤷♂️ |

If one day we are ever above City in the league then we will be better than them, given that's how football works. As far as Rovers I took the trouble to attend the Q&A in order to see what the owners were planning to do, what have you done yourself? |

As far as Rovers I took the trouble to attend the Q&A in order to see what the owners were planning to do, what have you done yourself? Well done. Guess the people who attended the QnA are all super fans compared to those who didn't go.. Being above in the league means better? OK Topper. Sure Bournemouth and Luton are better clubs than Leeds, Sunderland, West Brom, Norwich, Southampton and Leicester! We'll be a better, more professional, bigger, more respected club than the teds if they get relegated and we are above e them for a week. Cool. |

The thing is Yatton. Your question seems silly. If you don't know what aspects make a football club good, then I'm not obliged to continue. I do understand that league position is important and possibly the only thing that us rovers fans can look to for bragging rights. That since all other aspects are way out of reach. If you and Topper can't see that there are clubs lower in the pyramid that are ahead of clubs higher then🤷♂️ I'll give you your Luton, for Leeds as an example. Work it out. City could be in lg2 and we'd still need a generation to dominate the city of Bristol over them. |
