I found one on the way home

Any idea where That would of came from :D

Fucking hooligans

who started it? i didn't even think things were that heated and then all of a sudden seats are being thrown. its a sad story really. its a shame people have to do this at football matches. and why didn't the Rovers fans stay in the Stratton Bank at the end when they were supposed to?

there where plenty in the arkells going around  :|

I think it was the fucking little chavs up in the Arkells who started it first.

Thanks you stupid cunts, now on top of the CVA etc. well have a nice hefty fine to pay as well.

Don't the Townend lot sit there?

**in a little kids voice** rovers started it

I wanted to watch the end of the game but didnt want to risk a seat in the side of the head.  :?

Dont know who started it tbh

But make no mistake rovers came down for trouble

When i went past the Bulldog at 1:45pm i knew there was going to be trouble, there were loads of Worzels standing outside.

We came out of the Walkabout at 2:05pm and some Worzel twats who were in the Bedroom started doing wanker signs at us, we just laughed and then the coppers started pointing at them to tell them to STFU.

They probably heard that the club had some redevelopment planes, and they thought they'd help out and start ripping out the seats !!!

But they are bloody hooligans.

There were a few Rovers 'fans' in the blue section in the Arkells, and the police came to escort them out opf the ground a few minutes later.

At the start of their 'walk of shame' they were 1-0 up, by the time they left they were 2-1 down. :soapy tit wank:

Yeah i seen that funny as fuck! I had no idea there was trouble up other end!? :|

thats where all the money's gone, they got a plane.

Well what happened was all the people who sit in the top corner of the nationwide stand ran down to the front to intice the rovers fans in the bank. It looked like a few verbals were being dished out and so the police all left the arkells stand.

A rovers fan and swindon fan were having a slagging match and people started to stand up and say 'come on'. The first seat thrown was from the rovers fans. We then threw back what they were throwing and bottles and coins were thrown. Rovers started it but swindon fans were just as bad.

i'd hardly call em fans

My mate just text me to say Rovers "fans" smashed the windows on the Winners lounge after the match.

probably a good game to be a cleaner after, it was raining coins at the end

WHAT!? i missed out on some money, shite.

Hahaha can't beat a bit of festive coin dodging. Fair play to the Rovers headcase who started marching across the netting!
What with Millwall coming back t'other way, could be a few feisty encounters around Town tonight, poor coppers.

Bottom of town will be nasty tonight!

it usually is

bottom of town is nasty every saturday night, and thats just the woman...

Yes Gaz, they did! Old bill rushed us all into the winners just after time cos a few of the got out before they should of done.
 I was sat with Fred Davis when it happened.
Fair bit of bother up by the railway station as well.
Morons! :wanker:

Millom

I'd imagine the GW and Vic were got at near the station etc again... Not sure.. I am going to old town tonight, Call me a pussy if you will be a load of pissed up Brizzle fans doesnt want me want to go to the bottom of town! Mind ya most may have left by then or they will get the last train home!

Only one there?

did anyone see the rovers fans trying to fight with the stewards on the bank to get at us? when i walked past the tap and barrel it was shut

There were police everywhere round own as early as about 10....you could tell there would be trouble really

Reading some of the Rovers boards, they're a right bunch of knobheads.

Apparently we should be kicked out of the Football League for breach of Health and Safety laws and the Inland Revenue should call in the debts and put us out business.

:wanker: Sore fucking losers.

Complete and utter bellends.

They're saying we shouldn't turn up in April as we will get 'our heads kicked in' and because 'the local yobs will be out in force'.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That's what I don't get.

They rant and moan because a few little chavs throw some chairs and call for the FL to come down on us like the proverbial tonne of bricks, but it's ok for them to come out mob-handed in April? :wanker:

gas-head fans are right knobs. walking past the townend before the game, giving it the big- i-am, then pissing off as soon as they see the police. Immature twats.

No one, Rovers, or Swindon, that were throwing chairs and other things in the Arkells come out of this with any credit at all.

Fucking stupid twats.

I was listening to the radio on the way home and it said that a pregnant woman and her children had to be escorted by police away from the trouble.

If cunts like these want to start something, why don't they arrange to meet away from the ground and let the rest of us concentrate on what's happening on the pitch.

Maybe because they know that away from the stewards and OB they might get hurt.

Sad pricks....................

I was in the Winners after the game when they put the window though






NOT NICE !

mr starmes said that, so it's probably bollocks.

i thought people were throwing paper aeroplanes at each other in a jovial manner until i saw a big white big thing fly through the air and it  was almost like watching the parting of the red sea on rewind.

I hope we send them the fucking repair bill.

our "fans" ripped up seats as well though. Yes, rovers came here looking for trouble, but we have a similar set of "fans". Both have been as bad as each other, but seeing as we're the home team, we'll get the rap for it.

What kind of twatish fans, rip out their own team seats.

i used fans in the loosest possible way

Exactly!!

They aren't fans. Just mindless morons hellbent on causing as much aggro as possible.

odd, how you see barely any young children or woman at football, yet as soon as there is any trouble and fighting they always seem to be stuck in the middle of it.

Didnt we beat up all the woman and children in Gillingham last year  :roll:

those seats up there needed tearing out anyway

but seriously stop making a big deal of fuck all

Fuck all?

Ripping up seats, throwing coins, smashing windows?


Get a grip. It's football in 2006, not 30 years ago.

I'm all for verbal insults, but shit like this doesn't do anything for us at all.

It's just pathetic and very, very sad.....

oh ure so passionate about this, why dont u start a campaign, yellow would be a good colour for ya :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

are u upset ?did u get scared?

Prick.

I go to football to WATCH FOOTBALL. Not to try and act like a big man.

I take it you condone shit like this?

What a wanker...............................

yes i think its marvellous and i activly encourage youths to swear and steal from the clubshop

and i take it from ure manor u did get scared and ure so angry because uve been clearing poo out of your pants since full time

I'll throw seats at your head and brick your windows. I'm sure you'll love it....

PM me. We can arrange to meet at the winners before the next home game.

i live on the 12th floor of a council estae good luck

i would be happy to meet u outside the winners bring my christmas card i dont mind that its gunna be a day late

Penhill?

I said inside.  Or aren't you allowed inside unless accompanied by an adult?

Never mind, you can come in with me.

12 -18 year old chavs!  That ruin it for all, on both sides, :twisted:

Mr Ian

Either calm down, grow up, or fuck off !

your sort of attitude harms us all

No need for it mate

I have always respected your posts, but this one you are way off mark my friend

Bollocks. Cant believe I missed all this. Thought it might be on the cards. Rovers usually behave worse down here than City.

Its not exactly ideal is it? Having this up near the Arkells grandads and the corporate boxes.

The gauntlet of hate threat in north Bristol is no idle threat either. Its going to be a rough old game up there. What forum was that? I can never find any decent Rovers forums.

Gutted I missed all this I must have been watching the game :soapy tit wank:

and to the "moral" majority ..shit happens loads on here think its fine to sit in the Arkells gobbing off you cant complain when you get it back.Fair play to rovers they brought it to us this is what its all about. :mrgreen:

i hate it so much when people put the word fans in inverted commas as if they're superior to other matchgoers...

infact it makes me cringe.
how can anyone judge who's a fan and who isn't? especially from another team?

the way i see it, the bit of drama in the arkells all added to the match. it's a local derby for christ's sake get over it.

the away game will be rank though, can't wait.

I'm gutted i missed all this!

Bloody xmas post !

fucking handbags and posturing - nothing to worry about

Anyway, lets just forget about them immature twats, great game, 3 points enough said.

Anyone who uses the phrase 'fans' or "fans" or 'so called fans' are quite frankly in denial.

Until you know someone one on one you cant make a judgement on anyone.

In the sands of time there are probably been Swindon fans who have murdered people. Swindon fans who have done the most henious of crimes. But you cant say that doesnt make them a Swindon fan. Last time I checked you didnt have to be ordained a saint to get a season ticket.

People who use the terms 'fans' to describe trouble at football matches are whores to the media and mouthpieces of the idiot culture that labels someone as this or that without ever using their own brains. Doesnt make chucking chairs right. But it does make those who condemn them look like utter fools.

Were were loads on police in Chippenham at about 10 escorting about 50 Rovers into town when we got to the train station.
They were trying to avoid the 70 Millwall fans on there way.
Thats what half of them came for.

i think the "fans" yesterday were awful, some of them were "swearing" and some of them were "drunk". thank god the "stewards" came racing back to stop "the" trouble.

Just found this -

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I didn't use 'fans', or "fans",

I think I called them twats........

I don't give a fuck if they want to act like that, anywhere other than in the ground doesn't mean much to me (Unless it's outside my house!)

All I'm concerned about is how it affects the club.

Ok, it was an isolated incident and I don't want to make it bigger than it was, but:

Can we afford a fine?

How will it look to potential investors, or sponsors?

Will it be detrimental to attendances?

I'm not saying any of the above will be affected, I'm just speculating........

FFS It was handbags at dawn. Some people are way too fucking serious.

Knock, Knock........


Who's There?...................................
































Fuck off!!!

See, I have got a sense of humour!



 :D

Thats why I responded to Strood's post and not yours.

As for all the financial bollocks. Couldnt give a shite. While weve got the Newbury leach ripping off the club I really couldnt give a shit.

As for the twats comment. Fair enough. I certainly wouldnt lob a chair into another set of supporters.

Sorry spence! Must be my time of the month!!

From my viewpoint

Firstly - had a run in before the game - with a bunch of Rovers louts .. who were pushing and barging past anyone that got in their way - the police just stood there and watched it - and did NOTHING! For a start they shoudnt have been allowed in

Secondly - saw the seats being thrown over in the Arkells - Rovers started it by chucking the first seat - i guess Swindon supporters found it hard NOT to react - but shouldnt have thrown the seats back at them

Thirdly - Rovers were kept in the Arkells but supporters on the Stratton Bank were let out - meaning I had ANOTHER RUN IN - with the Rovers idiots at the end of the game on my way back to the car

OVERALL - POORLY POLICED - probably as the club didnt want to pay a large policing bill - there simply werent enough of them

I blame Starmes for the whole thing - more police were needed and now the club will get a larger fine as a result

Another example of why this board needs to go

How can they announce that they will be keeping the Rovers fans in at the end of the game and then let the fuckers out of the Stratton Bank?  :shock:

There was skirmishes around Sussex square after the match. A few cars belonging to rovers fans had parked there also, There was quite a few mini chavs hanging around and taunting so inevitably fisti cuffs prevailed.


 :box:

shit, that's me in the top right hand corner.


i'm going to alcatraz

 You been using the hydroquinone skin whitener again?   You'll end up like Wacko Jacko.

I saw the group of Millwall near Regents Circus, they were being escorted down to the station, they'd been in the Merlin just before the game finished, I'm not sure whether the OB had them under control mind!

You missed the best bit....leaving the Nationwide stand as one of the last people as usual, looking at an empty ground the annoucement come over 'we would like to thank the bristol rovers fans for staying steated' the bank was empty.

Should have kicked them out after 85 minutes...

We all knew there was going to be a bit of trouble. Although the outcome was alot worse than I thought  :?  I guess thats football really. Obviously the people that took part in the chair throwing are complete dickheads,selfish and stupid. Get a grip. Your not an extra in fucking greenstreet now. What a disgrace. Both sets of fans were as bad as one another with all that stuff.
Anyway we showed them up on the pitch and thats the main thing.

 :D

first seat was thrown from swindon as reaction to coins being thrown by rovers.

A lot of us have seen worse than what happened yesterday, I think this has got a bit out of hand, and needs to be forgotten.  Harsh how the old lady got hit or hurt and teh rovers lads should have looked after her better.

50/50 just a good thing that the lads at the front didnt come over as that would have been much more messy.

interesting thread.gutted i missed it.
idiot town fans damaging our own ground though.seems to me to be mainly idiots that front each other at matches,most would run if it was gonna kick off properly.
just sounded like the older days at a game really!remember getting coins lobbed at us loads of times(notibally villa and derby springs to mind)and fuck all ever said as it was the norm!
footy is far more family orientated now so if lads want to scrap do it away from the ground with people that want to fight.that way innocent people dont get caught up in it

But it was just chavs in the ground arriba.

As posted on their forum, the Rovers casuals were in Swindon but didn't even go to the game and those that did left during the first half 'looking for a fight'.

The adver reports today that 30-40 Rovers were in The Merlin whilst the game was on.

Derby at the Baseball Ground, arriba?  I went there in about 94 and they spent the whole game trying to get coins through the fence at us.  I was also offered out by an 11 year old(through the fence), who looked like he'd wet himself when a watching copper told him off.   The bad old days eh :D

no the shrivvy road corner.

Dave the quote above is in todays adver page 4 your famous

sorry just saw the thread about it

Hello lovely Adver readers.  :fag:

 I like to beat grannies

i want to be in the adver.



im supporter of the year and i thought the violence was brilliant, i have never been into soccer violence before but i got so excited afterwards i went outside and stabbed a small black child in the eye with my cock.

I remember the portsmouth game in 92, made a few bob that day,

What a big fucking fuss about fuck all :shrug:

Yeah, but they came on the pitch to collect all the coins back.

Reading were forever lobbing coins at Elm Park as well.  Have you seen the Swansea visit there on youtube, Spencer? :D

let's hope the trainee journo prints that one  8)

A-fuckin-greed! Well said sade!
 :beers:

Used to be really shite, but apparently the new Leon is quite good

dubious of the CCTV pic's ever appearing, my company had a meeting with sandy gray to quote for new CCTV,  she said that the cctv system didnt work.

Not surprising. The police should have their own footage though.

polce were nowhere near when they started flying tho? they were down the bottom near the bank werent they?

the police were in town apparently!

I think that camera up on the left hand support post is from the post Heysel laws in 1985.

Ive often thought of asking for copies of the ground CCTV, but as Wheeler said, Ive been told its such poor quality and such a shambles not to bother.

Yeah, Ive seen that clip of Swansea. That used to happen a lot to Reading. Teams would turn up and just go mental. Bristol City rioted there in 1984.

The prostitute I saw on Friday night was probably the one he was referring to. And when I say 'saw' I don't mean 'paid for sex'.

So you weren't "sore" then, either?

No I wasn't. My knob would have probably fallen off by now if I had, she was that rough. And I had my beer goggles on  :shock:

Update on OS

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~945114,00.html

Looks like Mex is going to have to change his seat

unlikely that this saturdays events will happen again this season so what is the point?

because the board is completely out of touch with the fans or reality .. if Bristol hadnt been given any seats at all on Saturday and just the Stratton Bank .. NONE OF THIS would have happened .. just move the away fans to SB from now on when there is a large crowd expected - surely easier

im dont see why they all just don't go in the bank. they tried it a few years back too. so why not?

*BUMP*

because the club can't charge them £20 for the pleasure!

2 things

didnt the club decide against housing fans in stratton bank unless the need arose due to fears for visiting fans health during shite weather, some time ago?

Secondly, thanks to a few spastics, season ticket holders in that area of Arkells are to be consulted over a move away from that area

well done the spastics, victory to you again. :wanker:

sorry :sorry:

i'm not sure spastics would be capable of ripping up chairs, let alone throwing them.

Im glad the club was satisfied with the ticketing arrangements.

Ive heard that the Arkells away allocation was oversold AGAIN. We had the same with Hereford earlier this year. There is a steward's view under the Adver story. The club needs to work out how many seats are actually in the North stand away end and stick to it.

As regards the new segregation, sounds like a convienient way not to replace the seats to me.
