1800 fans to watch a meaningless friendly tonight,excellent turnout!!
More than will turn out to see Jamie Cureton in a home fourth division league match and more than will ever turn out to watch potential champions Eastleigh and Forest Green Rovers.
When will this board wake up to the potential of this club

No I wasn't taking the piss,it was a meaningless friendly and as I stated the gate would be the envy of most clubs in the fourth or fifth divisions.
This comes from me,a supporter of sixty years standing who was privileged to watch the late great Tom Finney play at Eastville in front of 39,000 fans.Sadly it shows how much we have fallen.
Relatively we are the envy of the minnows we rub shoulders with.

1800 isn't too bad considering the mess the club is in.

The football wasn't a sight for sore eyes IMO either. 3-5-2 formation first half looks promising, fluid counter-attacking football with wing-backs - would be pleased if we started like that against Grimsby Saturday.

Sad fact, Rovers, City, FGR, Swindon, Yeovil, Exeter, Torquay, Plymouth, Oxford all minnows. Time to accept we are unlikely to ever regain the status of the glory years, modest though they were...and as for our potential, it's limited.

did'nt go but keepin the powder dry for next week and alty away and fgr. reports sound positive but we all know until the first game we ain't going to know how we are fixed. 1800 for a freindly not bad at all when some of these teams would die for it in the league we are now in.we will take 2,000 to fgr and shake quite a few teams up along the way when the gas go marchin in. can't wait cu all on our travels.

Nice that your still obsessed by us though .. toodle pip Being a neutral I do find it strange that there is an obsession with Gasheads about the number of supporters that they may or may not go a game, there has been less mention about the result and performance as there is about the number of supporters who came and the numbers that will go to various away venues and how that will come as a shock to the other "minnows". Sadly I think that reflects the status of the club in the football pyramid. No football to boast about so you resort to boasting about the number of supporters that follow the club, not even at home where there is nothing to boast about but more about the away support which in a perverse way actually benefits the opposition as they retain the gate and pie money.

Ah well, while we're analysing other people's posting habits and finding things strange, I do find it strange that people, especially as neutrals, would bother to come onto football forums and make these sorts of observations. As a neutral, coz you are a neutral, aren't you? it's seems a weird thing to bother about. The bloke thought it was a decent attendance and decided to post a 'well done.' Not sure why you need to police that, especially using potentially pejorative and emotive terminology. As a neutral, I expect you'll be on all the other football teams forums making these sort of observations, as well, so you'll probably be too busy to respond to this. It must be a busy life as a neutral having to police all the football fans on their football fan forums, making sure no one posts anything you consider strange. To be honest, mate, I find you coming here telling everyone, as a neutral, what you find so strange about stuff, strange. Anyway, each to his own, I suppose.

All our fans bang on about is how good our support is. Our average crowd wAs 6,000 last year and were a so called big city club, if anything our support is piss poor...

The Gas support will always be big enough to keep ******* 1982 ****heads interested; if BRFC is not your rivals, "we are not concerned", blah blah blah, what the **** are you doing on this forum. UTG
