BS4 on Tour... Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yes, Brentford, wasn't it 4-1 at The Gate, Leroy Rosenior bagged a few? Around 1993? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a sending off and a Roberts goal. Iirc that season we finished outside the playoffs and were never really in contention for promotion. It was the season Gary Johnson joined and we lost 9 games on the bounce (league and cup). A couple of years earlier we needed a win to stand a chance of automatic promotion away to Chesterfield and had two players sent off before they went on to win 2-0 (and confirm their own survival in L1).

bs3 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I would rather see Blackburn go down. Can't stand those horribly little Northern clubs. Happy to see 3 Northern clubs go down to their level. Between those 3 teams combined they barley bring a 1000 fans to Ashton Gate Birmingham is easy to get to , got no issue with them. Good away support adds to a sense of an occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 We sent Swindon down for sure. We were feeling doomed for weeks- 2013 is the obvious example but the one I remember more vividly was 1999. They spiked our little revival and we were basically down when we lost to them. Was a controversial game too! One I would really love to see slip is Hollowhead's QPR...but they are surely safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Defo Brentford, I know some Bees fans, so went in the Open End that day so they could see me celebrate as we relegated them For once, against Brentford!, it all went to plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Park End/Open End that day and saw lots of Bees fans in tears after, I felt like apologising as we had nothing to play for and stuffed em! I can only remember Leroy bagging some, not sure who the kiddie was? That was a ridiculous season, we got thrashed loads - 1-5 at home to the Hammers, 5-0 in Newcastle, 4-0 by the gas, 4-1 at the Blades, 4-1 at Millwall, 5-1 at Brentford....
