Yes ? I now live in London , I used to live in Bradley Stoke , thats why I am "Londonexile" Therefore you will know that South Glos has only been around since 1995, it has even less history than City '82! You should have waited until 1 April before suggesting this, it might have been funny.

What annoys me about red trousers is I remember him banging his drum saying vote for him and he will guarantee a new stadium for us planning wise. When it hit the fan with trash he did nothing in terms of voice his outrage or pull strings at council level and then employed the sewer rat that was Radish and the cause of all the trouble as deputy mayor and minister of sport for Bristol. No he didn't. The mayor has no planning powers. He did say he supported the principle of redeveloping the Mem, which as we all remember, was granted planning permission. The TRASH campaign involved the law in the form of a judicial review. The mayor has zero influence over that, just as no-one from the council had any influence over the town green outcome at Ashton Vale. It might be annoying, but the mayor in this case, is the wrong target.

Just think we should get into the Prem as quikly as possible. Winning the FA cup would be great but lets go straight through the leauges first. But with the signings what are coming the cups competions next could be a real possibility. is that miss grimsbury

Just need to add for the teds who think we aren't about Bristol:
1. Our nickname "the Pirates" has a direct link to the history of Bristol and it's on our badge. Your badge was a robin on a football until you decided to just superimpose the crest of Bristol on top. If that's legitimate, I just put HRH on my headed notepaper so I am now the King of England.
Of course, The Robins refers to the red breasted Bristolian bird of the 1500s and is definitely not a totally bland name picked out of the hat for red teams with no connection to Bristol.
2. If we are south Glocs - what is all this Wurzel business? Bristol has NOTHING to do with cider or farming. That's Somerset. Bristol was always a port, not a farm or an orchard.
3. Bristol is a great city with great people, and you are a bunch of malcontented six fingered aggressive pricks.

If we do move to UWE we should change our name to South Gloucestershire Rovers. We shop at the Mall, football at UWE , get the train from Parkway, grew up in Bradley Stoke, used to work at Airbus all in South Glos. What have Rovers got to do with Bristol, our heartland is South Glos, Kingswood etc, it should be reflected in the name 'London exile' artist formerly known as th' prince o' poofs, Queen o' queers and Count o' Cum mare like ya dancer. Yer a Dam warmer pal so save us al th' trouble of wearing yous doon to a quivering wreck an just run a bath n dive in wit yer toaster ya fanny.

2. If we are south Glocs - what is all this Wurzel business? Bristol has NOTHING to do with cider or farming. That's Somerset. Bristol was always a port, not a farm or an orchard. Its true cider is mostly connected to somerset, but remember Bedminster was part of somersetshire.Only becoming part of Bristol after about 1835 i think.....and ashton gate ?..maybe later still ? Only the temple area was part of bristol south of the river .

How does that work? Can't wait to see the back of the car hating shehead failure. The sooner the better. perhaps she will be at the next game in her position of minister of sport for Bristol?

I've got to say that good, reliable, cheap public transport is the way to go. Here in Frankfurt, the public transport is so good that I didn't own a car for over ten years. If I wanted a car on weekends etc for any reason, I just hired one. I had some friends living in Gothenburg Sweden and visited a few times. Hardly anyone in the estate where they lived owned a car due to the brilliant and cheap (by Swedish standards) tram system. Even Palma Majorca (smaller than Bristol) has a decent public transport system - supported by a good App. As far as I can tell, Bristol hasn't got an App. The Palma one would tell you exactly when the next bus was due, by bus stop and route number. The future should be about eco powered vehicles and great public transport. And that's from a serious car-lover !

Right, let's move on. Who is for REMAIN and who is for BREXIT ? Please give your reasons, and avoid name-calling (eg you're a xxxxist).

Please give your reasons, and avoid name-calling (eg you're a xxxxist). gaschat.co.uk/thread/6027/referrendumYou need to explore other sections of gaschat mate. Normally pretty good discussion to be found in general chat in between a bit of casual thread derailment. Most threads normally meander back on topic eventually. Give it a go.

My heart says it's a great opportunity to distance ourselves from EU politicians who clearly don't know what they are doing, and the current refugee crisis is a good example. Some argue that we are safer within, but the recent 'chocolate fireguard' borders in Greece and Italy prove this not to be true. Also, the two world wars were started in continental Europe by royal families and political parties all squabbling and nobbling each other. I don't trust these continental politicians to do the best for Europe. Finances - we (the voters & tax payers)don't know where the billions of euros, which have poured into Brussels over the years, have been spent. Are Bulgaria and Romania benefiting from better education, health and reduced crime ? Has Spain fixed the horrendous unemployment in their young ? Is much more due tax being collected in all EU countries, because EU money has been invested in anti-corruption and better infrastructure and cultural attitude etc ? We don't know, do we ? In short, I would love to stick two fingers up to the EU as I think we could be a strong nation in the world, and I don't believe in (nor do I want) a Federal Europe.
HOWEVER, the holy grail for today and tomorrow is employment. There's no point in coming out if we are going to have a really serious financial crisis and huge unemployment. But the difficulty is knowing whether we will be in the muck by coming out, or not. As yet this hasn't been proved.
So, what to do ??
