Bristol Rovers 

The name give to Bristol's second football team; they live in the shadows of the mighty Bristol City.

Unlike in some cities, there is no deep reason for the intense rivalry between Rovers and (the vastly superior) Bristol City, e.g. in Glasgow, fans are divied by religion. It is generally taken that Rovers fans come from the north of the city, and City fans from the south, although this is not always the case.

Bristol Rovers fans are called 'Gas heads', the team is known as 'the Gas'. This is due to the fact that they used to play next door to a gas works in Bristol.

Although they are called Bristol Rovers, they spent a good few years playing their home matches at Twerton Park in Bath. This was probably the only time in their history when they were the biggest and best team playing in their home city, possibly due to the fact that Bath City were playing Conference football.

In more recent times, Rovers have moved back to Bristol, and have been playing their home games at The Memorial Ground (which is actually within the City of Bristol). After sharing this ground for years with Bristol Rugby, Rovers are 're-developing' it, because they think that they need better facilities (for what, I don't know- they hardly even fill the ground's 6,000 plus capacity). While this project takes place, Rovers will be playing their home games at Cheltenham Town's home ground, once again Rovers will not be playing in Bristol. To mark their leaving, the entire population of Bristol will rejoice, glad to see this blue and white stain removed from the city...its just a shame it couldn't be for longer/ever.
if you all hate Bristol Rovers, all hate Bristol Rovers, all hate Bristol Rovers, clap your hands...

I f**king hates they Rovers

Bristol Rovers fan 

A weak, inferior and submissive male/lady who chooses to support the worst football team in the city of Bristol.
Sexy, smart and strong Bristol City fan 1: "Hey! there goes Mark, he is a Bristol Rovers fan which means he obviously lacks the mental facilities needed to prosper in life. How about we throw stones at him?"

Sexy, smart and strong Bristol City fan 2: "Good idea!"

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
