Title: Bristol rovers
Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 19:36:32
how come we dont hate these? Sorry if its an obvious question, but im just curious why we don't have the same hatred for them as we do with city.

I meant in regards to "local" rivalry.

I'm like Tails - I have no hatred for Bristol City etc... I hate Oxford and Oxford only.

:?  Personally I hate Bristol city and Bristol city only, I dislike oxford but can't find the hatred for them as I've never experienced a oxford/swindon game. Although some of their fans did spray water at me on the way to barnsley  :x  But I laughed mostly.

I've neverminded bristol rovers, Infact I tend to look out for them and see how they are doing. Everybody says their fans are really violent but I think citys are much worse!

Nah City fans are just very....primitive.

I hate Oxford much more than City, but I suppose when you know City fans and play them more often it tends to become more of a big thing.

Its quite simple really....historically both sets of fans hate Sh**ty.   So its a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
 
   Its not quite that simple really as there has often been some serious trouble with Rovers....certainly more than you'd ever see v O*frod, but generally Rovers fans are a realistic bunch who've never had the delusions of grandeur of the Shitheads.

Something in that definately, north and south of the river are very different places in a lot of ways.  The Cabot used to be my local but I always refused to go and see them play, and I used to love seeing their faces coming out of the ground towards the end of 99/00.  They were doing so well for a while :D

Yes, that's it. I like Rovers because a bloke on an internet forum that i also frequent thinks that his mate is the manager. I knew there was a reason somewhere...

They get about 6000 every week, but only have about 3 regular posters on the internet.

Bit strange, bit old school. The game there will be intimidating.

I have nothing against them at all! In any Rovers vs City game I would be supporting the team in blue and white. I don't understand why but I have no hatred for them at all, unlike City.

And before people moan, the hatred for City does not compare to the way I despise the scum!  :wink:
