I wouldn't get too worried friendlygas it's all part of the fun. I don't blame you guys for wanting to vent your frustration towards Buckle, tbh if I was in your position I'd do the same. I fully expect Buckle to get his fair share of boos and jeers prior to the game, but during everyone will be focused on the match.

It's going to be a fiery one and a good atmosphere that's for sure. Shaun Taylor is going to get a good reception too :lol:

Hope that whatever abuse that arse gets, his personal life is left out of it; his missus suffered enough so it's not nice to have that brought up again.

Personally, I think his ego would suffer more if he was totally ignored - think the idea of turning your backs on him is a great idea. What a brilliant sight it would be if enough did it :clap:

I think his "ego" which all you Gulls fans keep banging on about will be massaged more by the noise us vocal Gasheads make rather than a few Gulls fans deciding either to keep quiet or try and give him abuse.

Trust me, he wont even know you're there.

Wrong Board, BG.

By the way, you never commented on me taking up your bet, are you still feeling confident of beating us by 3 clear goals?

Sorry Dave...I thought what I wrote was on topic?

I just think that whatever Gulls fans have or have not to sing to Buckle, it will be drowned out by us massaging his "ego" and also giving Shaun Taylor a rovers "Shithead" welcome.

I am very happy to go ahead with my bet. Are you coming to the game? If it goes ahead :B

We look like conceding a few goals with our new look back 5, but we are going to score plenty.

So it is going to have to be a 5-2 prediction from me :)

so how much money are you putting where you're mouth is BG ???

Think the back turning is a great idea....Im sure you guys will spout a load of bollocks from the terraces but the yellow army will be cheering on the team...underestimate at your peril....

I'll be there mate, riots permitting.

I did in all fairness accept that the bet would be much more fiar if we agreed on a 2 goal margin, so you can state your preference and we'll make the bet.

If only we can meet in the middle and make it a 2.5 goal margin :) ...But it doesn't really work like that.

Ok, fairs fair, a 2 goal lead it is. Lets say £30 quid then.

I dont mind buying you a round, giving you cash, or even chucking it into a fund of your choosing.

If you are going to be in any of the boozers prior or after the game, I will be more than happy to join you lot for a pint?

I was supposed to be going to a mates wedding on Saturday so the plan is to hightail it out of Bristol as fast as possible after the game to make the reception, but I'd be more than happy to meet for a beer prior to the game. £30 is fine, I'll make our Trust the beneficiary should I win and I'll happily send you a cheque should I lose, how's that?

We usually aim to get to most games by 12, if you can recommend a decent drinking hole that has plenty of Magners in stock I'll be happy to meet you there mate.

Theres plenty of establishments to choose from, Gloucester Road has a mile of Bars, Pubs, before you get to The Mem. I am normally in The Bishops Tavern at 12 on matchday which is at the bottom of Gloucester Road and is a good boozer, I normally end up in The Wellington at about 1.30 which is right opposite The Mem and is away fan friendly, some of the others can be a bit dodgy for away supporters but The Welly is fine.

I'm not too worried where I drink but I'll be there with Awayday who's a bit of a girl so probably the Wellington then. See you there ;-)

I missed this earlier. To be fair to BG, Rich, he's not been any trouble and has always done what's been asked of him and I've no doubts he's a decent honourable person, I've got no qualms in trusting him to pay our Trust when we come away with a point on saturday ;-)
