When is this game then? I wasn't aware we were playing City any time soon?

Thanks.

BTW, Is 'slave traders' applicable to both City and Rovvers? I mean obviously Bristol is Bristol, but I don't think I've heard it applied to Rovers before.

edit: Doh, beaten to it ^^^^^^^

I've always referred to Rovers as the slave traders and City as just plain cunts!

Ive always thought "Slave Traders" to be a wanky nickname anyway.

If you called them Shitty and The Gash, people would think you have a speech impediment.

Gash heads for the blue half and Shit heads for the red.

What's wrong with just 'Rovers' and 'City' ? .... must there be so much hate?  :kiss:

At the very least it should be "Wovers".

So they'd think i was actually from Bristol then? I might have to rethink those.

Red cunts and  blue cunts. Thats all they are.

Then we have yellow cunts and blue and white stripey cunts too. ;D

Good point but you'll need to escalate the stakes a bit for our yellow and blue friends. It is not right they are equal to the others.

They absolutely hate it down there - all the more reason to keep calling them it in my book!

Im sure they dont.

If theres a Bristol city equivalent of Paul Davis then I could see him being embarrased by Bristols links with with the Slave Trade by im confident that the average fottie fan couldnt give a flying a fuck.

Tickets went on sale a couple of weeks ago plenty left still I believe.

I see they are now going to stay at their ground whilst it is redeveloped, anyone see a Blackpool style half finished ground happening?

City tend to get the Slave Traders name, unsure as to why, possibly because they are from the river and south, whereas the Rovers are more Northen monkeys of Bristol.  Until recently I'd always thought of Rovers as the nicer of the two, but my memory is tinted because we tend to win more often than not and I think I remember a fair bit of trouble back in the 80's, not too far off the shit we stirred up with Plymouth.

I think we have been given around 1100 tickets in the tent. Not sure if they are available to non-season tickets as yet though.
