Friendly against GCFC on July 20...

Simple rule would be;
When in debt, don't spend more money on players.
What is the point in signing up players when you have nowhere to play because you still haven't paid your tab off?
No wonder they're about to go bust, the people in charge of the club couldnt run a bath.
I almost spat out my cereal when I read the following line;
He hopes that as many as five individuals or organisations will come forward and donate the club between £10,000 and £25,000 next season and earn a place on the new football board.
Quick, rich people, throw £20k onto a sinking ship!

they need $75k to work through this season at least not inc our money. Then they need it every year and they can't just keep on bumping and banging their way through each season. Its time to pull the plug on GCFC.. lets turn Gloucester ruby!
EMG sure don't love that club.. He could plug that gap each year if he did

The Trust says that the £75K does include the rent to the club that rent the ground from Cheltenham Borough Council.

I don't care what happens to Gloucester, I just want our rent money - we have a pitch to prepare and a squad to build and money is essential.The Horse wrote:The whole "none of your business" thing has probably reached the end of its comedy value so it would be good to see that end now......
Now, the main point i came on to post....
Would you as a CTFC fan really want GCFC to fold?
Isnt one of the fun parts of football playing against your rivals?
I find it strange, given how desperate some (not all) supporters are trying to fabricate a rivalry with clubs such as oxford, rovers and swindon, despite none of them really being interested in CTFC due to rivalries built up elsewhere over years of league football, that many fans want to see the one real "rival" that the club has killed off and to disappear.
I also find it strange that people still consider the 2 clubs as rivals....but thats my opinion and another debate for another day.
Why be so keen for a rival but also want to see your one real one killed off?

Good way to attract those 800 fans back to your games and bring money in the door!!!!!!Neil wrote:You can put that in brackets but its true. I would hold no court with anyone like that, same as the 800 who came to the Orient game and not since. Wankers.SouthportShouldHide wrote:I'd like to think I wouldn't particularly care if they folded or not. The friendly against them holds no interest for me. And a game in a Mickey Mouse local cup competition does nothing for me either. Being pitched against them in the FA Cup though, that would, for old times sake, fill me with excitement. So I guess I don't want them to fold.The Horse wrote:

Actually, I'd go one further. I'd quite like to see them do the impossible and spend one season up in the football league with us. But I think that's only because I'd like to imagine the response from any poor deluded fan when they find the average crowd goes up to just over 1,000 people and they have to share the terraces with 800 'wankers' who only started supporting Gloucester when they got promoted...!
Your doing your bit to bring the club down Neil.

Both the recent articles highlighting GC's financial plight could be read as a thinly veiled threat to the city council to give them planning permission for the new ground - after which suddenly money will come flooding in from investors - or be seen to be the ones who caused the club to fold........

The Council will let them fold.
When future fans needed to boost the club are abused and called w@nkers by a leading figure in the GCFC community, what incentive is there for the council to want to save them....

For people who state that they detest Gloucester City you spend an awful lot discussing them.
This thread is now boring and should be closed, well of topic

Perhaps if they ever get a new ground they could just set up a bus shelter behind the goal - it ought to be sufficient for their needs.Pie wrote:Oooh, watch out, Gloucester fans out in force!!!

RTT has obviously never experienced the displeasure of being in The Reddings or Benhall when the wind has been blowing the wrong way down the A40.Malabus wrote:

It's pointless getting a hard on over crowds, after all, you can only account for your own personal attendance at any given football match unless you're paying for other people to attend. Overall our gates are s#!t because the people of Gloucester, if they realise we have a team just naturally assume that they're s#!t and wouldn't dream of watching them.Pie wrote:So you were outnumbered then
At a "home" game
The same applies to the team that you support. They Whilst they may be two divisions better than my team they have the advantage of the local media doing a proper job representing them whereas we don't.
Oh well.

Your team has previews and reports published for every game in your local newspaper and every game is mentioned on local radio as well, the same as CTFC.Neil wrote:Whilst they may be two divisions better than my team they have the advantage of the local media doing a proper job representing them whereas we don't.
Are we mentioned? Really? Haven't listened to it for years. We've suffered from previous sports editors in the local media pushing their personal interests ahead of their professional ones.MarkHalliwell wrote:Your team has previews and reports published for every game in your local newspaper and every game is mentioned on local radio as well, the same as CTFC.Neil wrote:Whilst they may be two divisions better than my team they have the advantage of the local media doing a proper job representing them whereas we don't.

Does that include the one who paid you for use of reports and pictures and arranged press passes for you to get into away games??

What is the point of this game??They owe us money why are we even giving them the chance to screw us even more.Wakey Wakey Paul Baker you are having the p!ss taken out of you and you cant see it.
I never had press passes Mark, although I was paid, however what I wrote was often edited down which was disappointing.MarkHalliwell wrote:Does that include the one who paid you for use of reports and pictures and arranged press passes for you to get into away games??
That said, there was always at least twice as much in the Gloucester Citizen about CTFC, although there was nothing whatsoever in the front of the paper about goings on in Cheltenham. Odd that.
