Hey morning Kaiser, firstly I wanna say I thought you were better than some of what I've read this morning? I've enjoyed talking to you before, and I'm surprised that you seem to be so angry about this, it's pretty obvious that, on a rovers forum, you would expect some excitement and anticipation of new stadium, and better times etc, Bristol has two, not one, very well supported teams in their respective divisions, and 7,400 is very respectable for league 2 as well you know. When City have AG fully redeveloped and we've got a finished new soulless south Gloucestershire bowl we'll both fill it-should we be anywhere near where we both want to be I'm sure. For perspective of our crowds down here I refer you to the two seasons City spent in the basement division: 1st season: 4,500 approx ave home crowd, promotion season: 7,100 approx ave home crowd. So it's all about the diction we are in and the state of the facilities that draw us bristolians in isn't it?! Valid comments Nick. I'd like to think I'm a level headed guy. I am in most things and a fair cynic in a lot of subjects. You've picked out the one post where I could seem rattled but in all honesty it was just absolutely laughable some of the utter drivel I've seen which is beyond any semblance of reality.... We are a Championship football club, we are an entire division (a difficult division as well) between us. Yet I'm reading by some idiots how we are about to be passed at a rate of knots?! I mean really? Also I'm not one for attendances but to also have a comment asking on our attendance when you're getting less than half what we do normally. Just a tad bizarre is it not? I mean even a lightening quick look at the last home game. City v Ipswich - 15,736 Rovers v Morecambe - 7,400 That's 47% of ours. Like I said I don't care about crowds but fk me to have someone ask about ours with those stats. Jesus Christ....

How long has SL been at city? Let's just wait and see what the crowds , ground and league positions are after a similar amount of time under our new ownership. Anyone who mentions nationality in the truly multinational and multicultural world of football is a total fool. I see however you are very cosmopolitan and managed to get to live in Henley.

I live in Henley now. I've lived in Vienna, San Diego and Melbourne. I still see Bristol as where I am from though and the point I make on having a local guy looking after his local football club is one of stability. I point you in the direction of our good lovely rivals at Cardiff City of the dangers of foreign owners. In fact two weeks ago I was witness to demonstrations v foreign owners at Charlton Athletic demanding their club back. Man Utd wear yellow and green to demonstrate v the Glaziers. Leeds demonstrated v the Italian. Liverpool hold banners out every Saturday v their foreign owners. Compare to us with Lansdown. We are just grateful we have him. The danger is there. That's why I wouldn't want anyone other than a local guy owning us. SL and Harry Dolman. Legends the pair of them.

I think the points Kaiser makes are fair ones - although having local peeps owning things hasn't always worked out either
his point re the track record of foreign owners (which is a far from exhaustive list I think) is why many of us are nervous. We'll just have to see. For the moment the Al Qadis seem like very good news indeed

I think Rovers fans would rather a local if we could but doesnt make a foreigner a bad person to own us necessarily. Bolton look like a complete mess. What happens. Chelsea were basically bust before Ambramovich saved them, Leeds were mental even before Cellino took over etc, etc

Southampton have been doing fine with a foreign owner. Leicester seem to be coping too.
There are good owners and bad owners. As long as the Al Qadi family forms part of the first group, I couldn't care less where they're from.

And don't believe for a second that all Sheds have always revered SL. Far from it, and not so long ago either.

It's immaterial where the owner is from. You can have good English owners and bad ones for English clubs. I suspect there is not a supporter in Leicester complaining about their owners! I don't hear any Arsenal fans complaining. Kaiser comes on here not to be provocative or even as a foil to others views. He comes on because he wants to be loved. It's the wrong venue .

Actually Ashley underlines my point that I'd rather a local owner for a club. Ashley is a cockney who knows and cares fk all about Newcastle. Ridsdale is another twat who has wrecked every club he's been involved with.

You're mixing nationality and local.
Ashley, Ridsdale, Hamman. Three UK owners I wouldn't wish on any football club. The faceless SISU almost destroyed Coventry City too.
I just think we are very fortunate to have a decent local guy in SL. I admit it's just luck really.
He does Q&As too. I'm going to the one on Saturday. Though my somewhat fiery question on appointing Johnson now might not get asked given the 3 wins in a row weakens my stance.

Awww......bless Here's a little song for you, it'll make you feel better...... "Sometimes I live in the country, sometimes I live in the town, sometimes I have a great notion, to jump in the river and drown. Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight, good night Irene, good night Irene, I'll see you in my dreams"

Actually if you'd bothered to stay until the end of the match it was being sung at the end of the game when your monkeys illegally invaded the pitch and your stewards did sod all to stop them as well as the coins being thrown at the away fans which included young children but it was a terrific shot by Joe....well done, you should be VERY proud of your fans

I can help you with that, now, this will all seem a bit odd, it's called ''winning a play-off final at Wembley'', just hang in their until about 8-30 mins, then turn the volume up. Play-Off Winners.You really need to get over your superiority complex, the only reason you are 2 divisions above us is that Lansdown has spent tens of millions of pounds, my Granny could get Rovers into the Championship if she was allowed to lose £50m doing it. As for getting into the PL, that ship set sail when Fatty Windass volleyed Hull's winner, the top of the 2nd tier has some wealthy and well established clubs, and it'll only get harder as the parachute payments from the PL get larger.
