    Why do you think you get such small gates? Is it because you are such a tin pot side with no history? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Wheat-a-Bix anyone? :grin:

    Brizzle vs:
    watford - 4,432
    hairyfoot - 6,342
    Northampton - 5,812

    like they are well massive gates maaan!

    Seriously, ours vary between 5k and 6.5k so we aren't too much different in terms of gates to you.

    last seasons average for Brizzle was 6,253 and ours was 5,875 so yes you managed a better gate and those extra 380 odd gates bought you Matty Harrold!

    hahahha oh chris is back!! hows winning the league going for you? hahahaha brilliant result for you guys at the weekend!!
    according to this article, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_United_Kingdom_settlements_by_population ) bristol is the SEVENTH largest city in england, ninth in the uk, population, 420,000.
    so all things considered, bristol is a massive city and bristol rovers are a "big club" (trying to keep a stright face pahahahahaha)so how does it feel to be STRUGGLING in a league with clubs from towns like shrewsbury (119th largest town 70,000 people), torquay (131st, 63,000), macclesfield (164th , 50,000)!!!!!

    not only are you in this league, youre hardly setting the world alight!!!

    it should be a priviledge for the gas to visit the ancient mediaval town of sciropsberyg, latterly shrewsbury. thos oiks from brissle will learn that 8 kings of england held their court in the town. they will learn that edward 2nd gave shrewsbury a charter to become a city and even created a bishop for the new city but the burgesses of shrewsbury preferred shrewsbury to remain englands premier borough in england. now to the history of brizzle cabot brunel, don cameron's balloons, ah i knew i would find a connection with the gas. floreat salopia, and how are the gobstoppers? ah you are speechless, keep it up. gasometus deflatus!

    You never answered my question AJ, why do you get such small gates? Is it because you are such a small tin pot club? :)

    I feel honoured to be in the same league as Bristol Rovers. To simply be in a position where we can take on such a mighty force with such a proud history is... well... words just don't it justice. I just hope those lovely Bristol Rover fans don't get too arrogant and truly realise they are the best thing to happen to League 2. Lets also hope they never leave the division.

    Cheeky Chris - have you even got your own ground yet? Rovers must hold the record as the longest running homeless league club. And even when you had a ground it was really a dog track and then you were a non-league club's tenants in another (much nicer) city and then a rugby club's tenants. Then even they went bust and you were talking about moving out of town again. Ah well, suppose you have to expect that sort of thing when you've always been the 2nd ranked club in a footballing outpost.

    What happened to the 40,000 at Wembley by the way? They didn't stick around long. So, here's your question - why do Rovers get such embarrassingly small gates for a "big city" club? In terms of crowds to population, yours must be amongst the worst in the country, if not Europe.

    Ever thought of merging with City?

    And the answer is .....

    OK, you're understandably too embarrassed to answer that one. How about this one - who owns the Memorial Ground now? That's a serious one btw - what happened after Bristol RU went bust?
