He meant "sanitary" because Ashton Gate is clean, comfortable, well kept and professionally managed; the polar opposite of the Memorial Ground. Our pitch is like a billiard table too - despite hosting both football and rugby (I thought that they told us our pitch would suffer with both teams using it?). Theirs is unfit for league football despite only the first team using it once each fortnight (they don't get involved in cup competitions so it's hardly overused). Even using the tactic of keeping the ball in the air does nothing to prevent the ground cutting up. I know which ground I'd prefer. So does @Jarman but he can't bring himself to admit it. If "old fashioned terracing" is so desirable, why do all 15ers crave a new ground? Clue: because they've succeeded in turning an old fashioned rugby ground into a practically uninhabitable (judging by their attendances) crock of shit. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe their grounds man was filmed watering the already wet area in the corner, prior to a match with Stockport County. It was a midday KO and the Stockport fans had already travelled down. The match was called off allowing BRFC players an extra days rest, before playing us in the LDV, Johnstone's Paint or whatever it was called on a really boggy pitch. IT worked, they won. They also "allegedly" cut the water mains at Twerton, prior to a new years match against us, when they had a few players out with injury and we were flying. The rescheduled match was played at the end of the season, when we were suffering the loss of Super Bob and it worked again.

If the 15ers had been down to 10 men for most of the match maybe they would still be in the banarama league Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the top bit, Stockport were also on something like a seven match winning run at the time. The pitch was apparently “waterlogged” despite amateur football taking place at Eastville Park on the same day... It also as you say, coincided with the Saturday between the 2 legged midweek JPT games with us, meaning amazingly they had no game (whereas we travelled up to somewhere like Blackpool & played). Stockport’s manager said the postponement was a “disgrace” and complained to the FA, who of course did absolutely nothing. Cheating scum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about watering the pitch but they definitely made no efforts to get the game against a very 'in form' Stockport County played. Previous matches that winter they had called upon people to come in and help get the pitch up to scratch to keep the game on (according to the EP). If I remember correctly Jim Gannon (Stockport boss) had words to say about it at the time, the response from the blue few was typical from them, they played the innocent victim and Gannon became a bit of a hate figure at the Mem. Meanwhile on the same day we were away to Blackpool. I think Rovers won the rearranged fixture*, they crept into the Play Offs on the last day and got promoted. Stockport failed to make the top 7 (L2) in the end. Cheating bastards. *Edit: they did win the rearranged match according to their head 2 head page with Stockport.

Well, Shrewsbury did sell 15k+ for their play off final in 2009, so there is every likelihood that they sold that amount in 2007. Edit: I don’t know how many they sold in 2007, but Shrewsbury’s allocation was 25,000 tickets. I love how suddenly every neutral, corporate & club Wembley (approx 5-10k, I’d guess) attendee must have been supporting the Gas. How convenient..!

Wembley was literally brand new and they were the first playoff final ever to play there, hence the inflated crowd. Day trippers and sightseers rather than die hard Sags. Rovers are so used to being the last to play somewhere (when everyone else has left and switched the lights off), so to be one of the first teams to have played at the new Wembley was a whole new life changing experience for the squatters.
