So 100 difference? Not much to boast about. City are in the Championship going to Sheffield Wed, Birmingham, Reading, Charlton, Wolves. We get to go to Accrington, York and Morecambe. But for several sell outs it would have been more. Not sure what point you were trying to make but you have just illustrated that The Gas have a better away following. I wonder what sort of away attendances we would be getting in the 2nd tier going to those places. More than that. He seems to want to impress us with statistics about a Franchise club reformed in 1982 that he says is nothing to do with him. He also seems to forget this is a forum primarily for Bristol Rovers fans, quite why he wants to compare our club with his I've no idea but the best comparison I can come up with is that his club have spent close on £60 million that has to be written off by their legal tax dodging owner (although not for much longer) and we've had to have £6 million written off and guess what.....they're still only one league above us, you couldn't make it up really could you Oh and apparently there are "light years" ahead of us yet will be competing with the likes of Burton and Rotherham

A very good point actually KP, I stand corrected, although it wasn't actually 'us' who paid it

Despite you visiting far more attractive teams, and stadiums, with bigger away ends, as you like to remind us, and the fact that we sold out multiple away ends, had stupid games like Hartlepool on a Tuesday night, you don't really have much to brag about.

I still don't understand why they don't adapt like us to the term of endearment they gave us 'Gas' or 'Gashead' and market the name 'Sh*t' or 'Sh*thead'. I mean you could have flags, scarves or hats with 'Proud to be a Sh*thead' on it or other types of merchandise making similar reference to their unique moniker . You'd think with their Championship standard Commercial team they'd be making sh*t loads of money from it
