wendyredredrobin Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Transfer window closes in 2 weeks and they still haven't flashed any cash. 2 out for big money in their world and nothing to replace them.

Comment from Kenny Black, Bradford assistant manager; " The state of the Bristol Rovers pitch, which is struggling more than Valley Parade’s, will also be a factor. Rovers paid six figures last summer to have the surface relaid but it is now in such poor condition that they will have to get another one done at the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Bless. The following is taken from their forum. Imo- If I was a league 2/ conference footballer, with options to move, I do not see many better clubs than Bristol Rovers. But even if we agree that Barcelona and the Madrid clubs might not be sending their scouts to the dizzy heights of the conference, I could - without too much effort - find examples of better clubs than the fewers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their budget is is one of the lowest in L1, pus the fact they're going through the hoop soon, pretty much the entire football league would be better plus a few in the conference I should think. More 'hear no evil' crap from the inert deluded few I suppose. I am genuinely starting to feel pity for them. #SMUGBUGGER Edited January 19, 2018 by Ska Junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The Bodin money will probably keep them afloat until the end of the season but they are sure looking like relegation fodder. 4,000 season ticket sales in July/August may keep them going until Christmas I suppose. Not sure how many they would sell in div 4 though. Did they pay back the money they borrowed to pay the players wages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they really not realise that the entire football industry in this country knows they are sliding down the pan at a rapidly increasing speed?
