It's possible that City would have been to the Premier League and returned to the Championship and we meet them on their way back down. What goes around comes around in football, and if both clubs can look forward to meeting in derbies as respectable championship clubs with aspirations to get to the Prem, that would be great for the Bristol area. Of course I hope we smash them every time and would dearly love for us to one day be the stronger of the two clubs, but we've got to be realistic. I would probably settle for the Gas to be a competitive club in a higher league, regardless of what the other lot are up to.

Finish one place above them in the league would be a start? Unless they manage to get into the Premiership before we get into the Championship surely that's possible? Once we build the Academy/UWE then off the pitch I'm not sure what SL can do as AG can't really be developed any further although we need a massive amount of work to get the marketing up to speed. Your first paragraph is confirmation that you are a forum lunatic! What do you mean..."surely that's possible"? I'll start you off.. We are newly promoted to league 1.

I don't really understand this post. We got to the championship while we were at twerton and skint. Promotion is our aim now we're a league 1 club again and of course it's possible.

You are forgetting that in 5 years they will be in the Europa League according to Lee Johnson. Not to worry, if by any chance they don't make it, there will be thread on on OTIB with 1500 pages and 10 million views saying how they don't care about us, where you will be able to remind them.

The two clubs were closer back then even with our stint at twerton. They have ploughed money in over the last 10 years and have players worth millions on 10s of thousands a week. We are 2 years out of the conference and it's somehow possible that we can finish above a team a league above us?

Leicester won the premier league remember and that was impossible !

There are loads of situations right through the top 5 divisions where smaller clubs are above bigger clubs in the league pyramid. If that wasn't the case football would be crap. Personally I don't really care that much whether we are above them or below them in the league. I don't see being a Gashead as a constant mission to be higher in the league than them, the way I see it is being a Gashead is great and I hear Sh1!heads talking about their club ( mates included) and it sounds so plastic and shallow. We don't have to be higher above them in the league to be better than them. I've got peace of mind.

I do not think you are reading his post as he means it, although it does lack some sort of consistency. I do not know why he is referring to them getting promoted to the Prem before we get to the Championship as it is not really relevant to us finishing above them one day. If they did that, we would just have to wait longer for our chance to finish above them, either by getting to the Prem ourselves or waiting for them on their way down. So, of course it is possible for us to finish above them in the future.

Talking about and discussing The Sh1t on every thread just gives the inbreds another opportunity to write their oh so smug comments about us on the marathon Rovers thread on One Turd.
F@ck 'em. Leave them to lust after their sisters/mothers/nans and any other close female relatives you care to name.
Good times are just over the horizon........ No, we're having good times now after the dross of Trollope, Buckle, Mc Ghee, the idiot Ward. There are even better times just over the horizon, and the Sh1t Heads are, well, sh1tting themselves!

Thread is all about development at the UWE, so about us developing. Nothing to do with the other lot. I want us to do well. I don't care what they do, it has nothing to do with us. If we start to compare us with any team in the Championship or above or even below in terms of grounds we will compare badly. I think about what a great two years we've had with promotions, good football, good manager, now good owners and the potential to get better and solve our everlasting problems about new ground and how the club is run. To let that other lot interfere with our feelings about Rovers is madness. Let's enjoy our club and moving forward. We know they are obsessed with us but that's up to them. We are Rovers and I'm very happy about how we are. UTG!

I actually think we should not only ignore but look beyond the other lot. If we focus on what they are doing similar to how they are obsessed with us...we will under achieve. If our new team can deliver, we will have brand new infrastructure as opposed to refurbs. We have been at the bottom and know what that's all about. Our desire and some guidance from the suits has the potential to push us to new territory. We need some luck and chemistry but there is some belief building.

The thing that sets us apart is we are currently a smaller club with the potential to be a much bigger club when the infrastructure is put in place. We have come a long way in the last 12-18 months but that is only scratching the surface. When people see the uwe stadium starting to progress it will be a whole new ball game. We can also start to move into new business areas and generate new income. Brighton has to be the benchmark with this, and i believe we can achieve something similar.

Gashead good, shythead bad, league position a sideshow for me but would still love to be above them. Enjoyed the Conference as much as league football but looking forward to the Championship next year and the Premiership the year after. Can't wait to see Chelsea etc at the mem for a season before the UWE.

I quite enjoyed the "dross" of Trollope period at the time TBH! Perhaps I can clarify my comment on the Trollope period. Yes, we got to the JPT final after knocking The Sh1t out at the area final stage. Not only that, but just as satisfying in my eyes is that I believe we were able to take over their pre- match hotel booking as apparently the arrogant Tnucs has booked a swanky hotel before they even played us, so cocksure that they'd be in the final. I also enjoyed the late play off run in and the victory at the new Wembley. All absolutely brilliant! However, once we had settled in league 1 LL was disposed of and Trollope oversaw a gradual decline all on his own that saw us plunged not the unmitigated disaster that was the Buckle McFucke era and all that followed. The manager after Trollope didn't stand a chance as Trollope had allowed powerful dressing room factions to develop and they made short work of Penney and got their mate Campbell installed. Don't even get me started on that snake. can you ever imagine DC allowing players to get the upper hand like that? We are so, so lucky to have him as our manager. I think Wael ought to offer him a 5 year contract!

The old saying about arguing with a fool couldn't be more apt. My original repost was in response to your BS. My long post is about the overall vision of our club.
