Uncanny! That`s exactly what I was told when I took my laptop in to be fixed last week.

He does look as if his sister is in the footwell orally pleasuring him.

There have been a few threads on this. I loved going to Eastville, massive open end held about 6k of us I believe. As for away days , Cov (obvs) , but Chester was one of the best ways to clinch promotion and one of my favs. Swansea 5-0 , Liverpool , Leicester (Jacki) , Forest semifinal , the 4-0 at Brum and on and on.

Inflatable Irene.

It means along with your owner, chairman, manager, coaches, players and most of your paltry attendance you are a total bullshitter.

Should start a thread on this subject. I shall never forget Coventry away at Highfield Road for as long as I live. The game that nobody wanted to win.

Don’t knock her being prowed of him, most sisters are proud of their brothers

Surely that won`t be in Mansfield`s away days book as there weren`t any of their fans there. It was all teds in the away end I was told.

I think it is high time to dispel this rubbish about "core support" with every gashead's nemesis - "facts" as opposed to #gaslogic I took some time to analyse the historical attendance data often linked in this thread to see exactly how core support stacked up over the years between the two clubs. Needless to say if that website's data is even partially correct (and there is no reason to particularly doubt it) it confirms what we all knew already. So how to read this graph..... It is based on the percentage difference in average attendances between the two clubs. A blue bar means the gas were better supported that year, a red bar City were better supported. The size of the bar indicates the percentage difference in attendance. For each year there is data (back to 1921, but none through WWII) I worked out the difference in attendance as a percentage of the lower of the two attendances - essentially what this figure tells you is how much the lower attended club would have needed to increase their own attendance to match the better supported club that year. As an example last year we averaged 19256 and the blue few averaged 9302 - the difference is 9954, and that equates to an extra 107% deluded half-wits they would have needed to find (and fit into their dump) to have matched us. Some observations.... Since England won the world cup just over 50 years ago rovers have had a higher average attendance once! Only on 6 occasions would we have needed a greater than 10% increase on our attendance in a season to match them There are 71 occasions where rovers would have needed a greater than 10% increase to match us City have never needed to make up 50% or more to reach rovers attendance On 21 occasions we have more than doubled their attendance (all figures >100% on the graph)

Totally agree, I’m happy to write a book on it if there are enough contributions and enough interest. Basically I’ve been a writer both professionally and personally for over 25 years. My two faves are Gas away FA Cup 1983 and Bradford away League Cup 1989...

Yes this exactly, I live in Avonmouth, am a season ticket holder and probably know about 2 gas heads.

Yeah that's true, City fans singing City songs....the Blackthorn End didn't like it, and apparently there were loads of dirty Ted's waiting outside the Mem to take the piss, so all the fans stayed in the ground, rioted, picked up banning orders and punched a horse and it was all the Ted's fault!

if they did one for mansfield towns away days i would buy it just to read the views for one memorable match or is that memorial match

All joking aside I would have thought if any club did a book like this most fans of that club would enjoy it. Everyone has a favourite away day and memories like that are the ones that you will take to the grave.

Seriously though, how many people actually buy this sort of "book"? 50? Who wants to read shite like "remember that time we took 500 to Leyton Orient & we drew 1-1"? The definition of minority interest..

Unless this is a pisstake, I presume you've never been to Gillingham away? Fully prepared for a whoosh though

Next in line (a day early as the Mrs. is dragging me Christmas shopping tomorrow! ) Gillingham away, owned by our friend Paul Scally, who kindly sent us Tiny Penis free of charge. Gillingham is a small town in Dorset for any of the few who are travelling, easy trip, should be thousands locked out. In the Gills squad should be our old mate Scott Wagstaff. Waggy has restyled himself as a tramp in honour of R*vers greatest ever homeless player

Presumably this doesn't include their embarrassing humiliating FA Cup defeats over the years? Thinking about it with that title, not so much a book as a leaflet... Surname couldn't be any more apt, could it?

it was taken at wycombe, he's celebrating staying up

Indeed it does - I will try and improve the graphics and repost over the weekend when I have some time I am thinking now of some other infographics and charts I could make once in a while - what i would need though is factual data sources to generate them. I guess there are a few books and stuff with some of this data - however I am hesitant to type something like "Bristol Rovers official History" into a browser for fear of getting profiled as a gashead by Google, Amazon etc and linked with titles like "Boob Cricket: Rules and Regualtions", "The Dummies guide to being a racist" and "Horse punching for beginners" On a serious note if anyone knows of any reliable away attendance datasets I could look at debunking the whole "travelling away in massive numbers, its what we do" bullshit
