Bristol Rovers F.C.

Second only to Frampton Rangers, Bristol Rovers are considered amongst the greatest football teams in North Bristol . The team is often referred to as 'The Pirates' or 'The Gas', due to the Body Odour of their fans, and the ease of which bootleg DVD's can be purchased at home games. In fact on days when Rovers are playing at home on the same day as their local rivals Bristol Shitty you can actually see robins falling from the sky. Rovers are currently in Fizzy Pop League One and regularly play teams including Barcelona AC Milan and LA Mars bars.
== Minimal Ground ==
In the last 20 years, Rovers have played their home games at three different stadiums. After becoming established at Eastville, management decided to replace the entire team with flat packed furniture from IKEA, and for a short time results improved. When the FA discovered that most IKEA products are actually just a load of well presented shite the team was forced to move to the 80 thousand all seater capacity stadium of Twerton Park in Bath. As soon as the team arrived in Bath ace hot dog and burger seller greasy Joe (not famous for his baths) was put at the helm and the teams fortunes began to take a turn for the better. When ex McDonalds employee Trevor Francis was recruited to serve the burgers the team began to experience unprecedented success. Rovers experienced their best run of form for years, and even managed to go two whole seasons without being relegated. 
Despite the small size of their stadium, one of the stands still managed to fall down, it is unknown what caused this to happen but the two front runners are either a termite infestation or mass pirate rioting causing a large gas explosion.
Unfortunately, the blue patch was short lived when it became clear that the teams quintessential play maker Devon Malcolm had in fact eaten all the pies. With nothing left in the kitchen, and the fact that everyone knew there was no way the team could hang onto Gary Penrice let alone Nigel Martin, the team was forced to move again. The new ground was named 'The Memorial Ground' in deference Malcolm's pie eating skills and has proved popular with fans despite initial criticism of the builders when it was realised that all the seats had been installed facing towards the pitch.
== Rovers Rivalry with City ==
Bristol is home to two professional (and I use the word professional very loosely)
football teams. This has caused numerous problems in the past. Some of the worse incidents have included swearing; a Bristol City fan once used the 'F' word against a Rovers player, the City fan died. And went to heaven. Because he failed to Acknowledge one of the ten commandments: Though shall never support a piss poor football team eg.Bristol Rovers.
