Oh and we beat 'em at Wembley once as well in the Auto Glass Trophy {Still reckon we should have had a European Cup Winners place for that} :( :D

Yeah, that was a good day that. Not as good as whe Brighton fucked em over last year though :D
 
I like City cos we normally do well against them - which is good - Rovers feel like more tricky opponents to me. AND City gave us Tony Butler back for nowt.
(and if I remember rightly - junior bent - who was shit (actually he was ok for a season or so) but about 1ft 2inches tall with a funny name.) - could have been rovers though come to think of it????
Though I'm sure some smart arse will point out the mighty pool havn't actually won against city for 30 yrs or something. :D
So City will do for me. (based on gut instinct of course, rather than any analysis of actual playing records)
 
Just voted City by mistake - I meant Rovers cos the only time I've ever been to Bristol was when Liverpool played City in the FA Cup and the fucking lights went out. Must have been about 1990 I think. 6 Hours on a fucking coach and the bloody simpletons can't even work a set of floodlights.

January 1994 mate. Yeah that was funny wasn't it? I remember the replay at Anfield better though. Brian Tinnion winning goal, Liverpool 0 Bristol City 1, Souness sacked afterwards and a fucking top night out in Liverpool.

Sweet :)

Was it 94? Fuck me, I thought I was younger than that.
We were on our way out at Ashton Gate - the lights actually saved us! That has to be one of the worst grounds I've been too though...

So you've not been to 'The Memorial Stadium' then (pic above). Makes Ashton Gate look like the Nou Camp :D

Make this public!

Probably already said this but everywhere we go fans say to us that they really don't like the C*ty.

They're just nobs. Fucking crap nobs this season :D Going down going down going doooown

RR: the other poll's pubic.
 
Rovers - Always loved the blue & White quarters..

Goodnight Irene..

Met some decent Rovers lads when I used to go to England games, never met any City supporters at England games.
 
John Scales, Keith Curle (via the other mob), Ian Holloway, Peter Cawley, B*bby G**ld - lots of Gas-Dons links.
 
Well

I don't dislike either, but I get the impression Rovers are the more working-class unglamorous side, so my sympathies (as an Everton supporter) are with them, just as with Man City (vs Utd) & perhaps Sheff Utd (vs Wednesday). Though this last one a bit tricky, as I feel what has happened to Wednesday in recent seasons is v. sad, & I have fond memories of 1966 FA Cup Final & usually getting three points against them. And Neil Warnock--what a great character!!
 
C*ty seem to have the extremes - they have a large w/c support base in south Bristol but also seem to be the team of the west Bristol m/c these days. These people should all be shot 'cos they don't seem to appreciate that they're living on the Rovers side of the river and therefore they should be watching football in Horfield, not that fucking slum of a ground down there :mad:

Rovers are more yer solid east/north Bristol salt of the earth types.
 
City - my local team (VS Rugby now known as Rugby Town) played them in FA Cup about 15 years ago & frightened the shit out of them at their place (although they won in the end)

Also they play in a nice red shirt and Rovers play in a wierd boue & white job.





By the way - the colours on the poll are the wrong way round - that was bas planning.

There's something more of the latter about the Gas these days. The Gloucester Road after we played Swansea last season was a very 'interesting' place to be!

The key thing to remember is that Rovers are somewhat more evolved than our red counterparts.
