Postbag: us? anti-Tory? Never!
Letters Editor
28 July 2010
In the latest edition of the postbag, we discover that Bristol Rovers fans have very long memories. Should they exercise them at 1.00 AM? You be the judge. We also deftly refute allegations that we may be prejudiced against the party led by the Right Honourable David Cameron MP, and get our excuses in early for next season's failures.

In Quebec, thinking of penises
Dear all at Cod Almighty,
Keep up the good work. Excellent site and keeps me up to date what what's really going on at GTFC. I think the Superb New Official Site should stand for (We're) SHIT (and it's) NOT ON (our) SITE.
By the way, I'm stuck in Canada and have read many references to Penis Peter Sweeney being uttered on Mariners Player. I'd love to see it – is it uploaded on YouTube? If so, where?
Hope all goes well for the forthcoming season.
Come on Town!!!

We've made an mp3 file of the clip in question available here.
Quiz
Question 10 – Tory vote percentage is NOT 23.5% unless I've missed some ironic humour!?!?!
They actually recorded approx 36% of vote.
23.5%...my arse!

I don't know, the number of people who go looking through our site with a fine tooth comb looking for the smallest trace of evidence of anti-Tory bias .... DON'T WE MAKE IT OBVIOUS ENOUGH FOR YOU.
For the record, the question asked about the percentage of the electorate who voted Conservative, not the percentage of votes cast.
Lop-sided (and we don't mean Mike Newell's squad building)
I'm surprised there's been no comment on how lop-sided Town's fixtures are. For example, we don't play Bath City for the first time until March 19th (either side could be promoted or relegated by then!), or Wimbledon until March 5th. On the other hand we don't see York City again after November, while we play Southport twice in seven weekends between October and December.
Shouldn't it be one of the aims of the fixture list to spread out fixtures between clubs as evenly as possible? I recall a few seasons ago we played Wycombe twice before Christmas when they were red hot, then when they couldn't hit the side of a barn after Christmas it was other clubs who took the easy points. The way the Conference has bunched these fixtures makes it almost inevitable that this sort of thing will happen again, a lot.
PS With red socks (as worn against Sheffield Wednesday), we might look like a Town team in more ways than one this year.

Not that we're obsessed, or anything
I know this feedback is late but I've only just come across this Rough Guide to Bristol Rovers (from July 2006) and must put Mr. Mills right on a few points. First of all (I'm not sure if it's true ) but the nickname of The Pirates may have come from the fact that in the early days they reputedly tried to rob other teams of their best players.
And now for the claims that Bristol City are older, more attractive, more popular and will win promotion:
1. The s**t 1982 as they are known are in fact 99 years YOUNGER than Bristol Rovers due to the fact that the old S**t went into liquidation in 1982.
2. I've got mates who are, and I've seen a lot more, who are s**theads and they are VERY UGLY.
3. Whenever either team from Bristol gets to a final at either Wembley or Cardiff (in the old days) both sides can take at least 39,000 fans with them. The fact many s**theads don't admit to is that in their bad old days of Division Four, they went down to around 2,000 at home games, whereas the MORE ATTRACTIVE side of Bristol Rovers never did. When things are good with any side they get more fans returning; when things are bad the S**t lose more than the MORE POPULAR Bristol Rovers.
4. Ask poor old Shrewsbury about not winning promotion in the play-offs. HA HA HULL CITY (incidently in the JPT Southern final of 2007 we beat the idiots... and not only that but the arrogant b*+@tards had already booked their Hotel in Cardiff before the 1st leg had been played, ha ha ha ha ha)

I think Chris Mills's underlying point might have been that Gasheads have an unhealthy chip on their shoulder about City. You don't think you may have just scored a bit of an own goal do you?
Make your points
