Only a joke? Or an insult to the war dead?

    They pretend to be so honourable about the memorial, they are a complete bunch of hypocrites, perhaps they should remember this incident before they preach their sermons to the world.

    Their player urinating all over the memorial pitch in front of away support, including women and children.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of a wind up..

    If people heard second hand what had been done some of the reactions can be understood, but if the photos are seen first it is clearly nothing but a light hearted prank, a very funny dig at the neighbours. The gates themselves stating Memorial ground were not used, the central pillar with its inscription which indictates the gound is the memorial was avoided. The pillar that housed a joke is peripheral to the gates, the inscription and the ground which are the real memorial to our sevicemen.

    These Gasheads feigning rage are hypocrites, and this mild joke has emphasised it.

    Sorry but the fact that it's a war memorial puts a different perspective on it - put it anywhere but there

    I think CJS has already stated on their page that there are people who may not have realised that all the gates are the memorial and not just the front one. It was funny, the placement and the timing of it, in hindsight, could have been better, however I don't think the placer of the plaque deliberatley set out to cause offence to the memory of the fallen. Everyone should move on, nothing to see here (especially now they have removed the plaque) :emoticon-0105-wink:

    A few of the gas make it funnier. While the Gas are arguing that the Memorial ground is really the Memorial gates not the ground ground it could be argued that a side pillar isnt the Memorial gates either. The timing on other sites has been stated back as 23rd July.

    Oh I am good, very good.

    If this plaque had been another dull banner behind a plane the "BASTARD SCUM HAVE DESECRATED THE AIRSPACE OVER THE MEMORIAL" card would be played.

    City can always move confidently into your midst and know the girls will want the reds ... Wimmin blast the Gas out of the way with the firehose when City arrive in your classy chasers.

    This fake outrage isn't about memorial gates, ground, or anything else, like its been pointed out they stack rubbish against them every week, its hypocrisy at its most extreme.

    This is about the position they find themselves in, they have NOTHING TO COME BACK WITH.. so lets fake some outrage about war dead and memorials, they couldn't give a stuff about the memorial and memory of lost soldiers as long as they get what they want from the deal which is a new ground.

    BTW, I got 41 thumbs down for my comment, can anyone beat that..:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I thought I would put this up, cjs felt we needed an explanation again, we have already been told once but we don't get it, this will be his last attempt to get us all to understand, I must point out no request was made to post this on here, I've posted it in the hope of mutual understanding..



    Indeed we have. But they cant just accept it because it helps Rovers. If Rovers were staying put and Higgs said they will move the pillars and gates to another location within the site and will make a really nice memorial garden to go with the pillars and gates, something really befitting, instead of where they currently are now which is between a lane of back gardens and a car park next to a run down stadium, im sure there would be no issue at all baldee. The fact is, where this helps Rovers, thats what upsets them about it. That is rather sad and pathetic

    The prank was done on a war memorial. Is that appropriate and acceptable? NO.

    The war memorial will be moved to another location within the site and will be much better appreciated and much more suitable than where it currently is. The Royal British Legion, past and present Bristol Rugby Officials, past and present military officials, English Heritage and everyone else who needs to be involved have ALL backed these plans and feel these plans will be a better tribute to the fallen war heros. So moving the pillars and gates, is that appropriate and acceptable? YES

    When Bristol Rugby was broke and let us move in, if we didnt do that then Bristol Rugby would have sold the ground anyway to some supermarket which I doubt would have kept the pillars and gates. Higgs has made sure that the pillars and gates remain at the site.

    No hypocrisy here. Well not from any blues and some reds anyway.
    But those reds that are upset that moving the pillars and gates (which will improve and protect them and will still be on the same site which has got full backing, support and been quoted saying the new plans is a better tribute from the Royal British Legion and the rest then where the pillars and gates currently are), but feels using the war memorial as a 'lighthearted prank' being acceptable are the ones who are showing hypocrisy. And the ones who really should take a long deep look in the mirror and have a word with yourself.

    Im done with this subject now. No point discussing it anymore. Its been made VERY clear that the ground is not a war memorial (english heritage refused to give the ground war memorial status). Only the pillars and gates are the memorial and 1 of those pillars was used for a prank. The ground is a dedication for Bristol Rugby who didnt look after it and had to sell. They sold it to Rovers so they could still remain at the ground instead of selling it to a supermarket and therefore becoming homeless. Bristol Rugby have made the decision to move from the stadium before they need to. Lansdown has made Bristol do this so he can save money ignoring the history of the ground with Bristol. If Sainsburys do actually move in, the pillars and gates will be very well looked after inside a fitting memorial garden which is a better tribute when compared to where the pillars and gates currently are, which has been backed by the people who actually matter. ITS THAT SIMPLE BOYS AND GIRLS.

    Thats me done now with this subject. If any of you reds dont like the facts and dont like being told some home truths about your bitter twisted hypocrisy then you aint worth anymore of my time, effort and attention.

    Just need to stop giving this attention. It was put up for the photo and took down. If anyone is offended by it then they need to get a life. Worser things are happening in the world and this has all gone over the top.

    The ground is the Memorial, It says so on the pillar which seperates the gates the plaque was not on. Keep the area tidier Gasheads.

    These Gasheads should learn to take it on the chin, the Horse had too.

    I have a pretty good command of several languages. Unfortunately drivel is not one of them. I couldn't even hazard a guess what you're trying to say here.

    There was clearly rubbish left around the site on one of the pics with the plaque on. The Gas will say City probably put it there.

    Perhaps its the Memorial Ground, with the memorial bit actually being the fact that once upon a time league football used to played there ?

    Won't spoil it, but seen another picture in a BS3 pub. It appears City have struck again with a new sign in foreign territory.
