It's been a pleasure watching AW as a player, turned captain of our club. Some sublime goals & a workrate to set an example to all around him. Thanks Andi, good luck & hope to see you back to show our appreciation soon.

No

Sorry, have I missed the paragraph of the announcement that says "Twine will only be with us for 6 months. We have no chance of signing him beyond that & don't want to"..? I thought it was fairly unusual when TGH's loan was confirmed with an option to buy, rather than it being "the norm" I wouldn't expect all loans to come with that agreement & wouldn't expect that to mean there was no chance of it becoming more permanent, if it works out well for all involved.

Or a club made up of people from dysfunctional families....

They'd probably prefer us to get relegated, rather than get promoted themselves though..! I think they genuinely hate us more than they actually like their own club..!

Unable to be referred to or described as Bristol Rovers Play off push. Perhaps that should currently be upgraded to include their assault on a historic Double. Promotion & the FA Cup in 1 season would be marvellous for them..!

You just have to look at the way our views compare to theirs. We are 4 points off the play off places & the general feeling on here (although very jekyll & Hyde, based on the last result) is that our chairman is a clown for believing we could be a top 6 contender & the general outlook from threads is frustrated & negative. Rovers are 12 points off the top 6, closer to the drop zone than the play offs - yet they always seem to refer to their play-off push & how they are better than everyone that beats them..!

Are we struggling in the Championship..? We are just struggling to compete with the top of the Championship, against teams with bigger budgets, generally.

I agree - it's blatantly lacking. Without Sykes we have no threat atall - with Sykes, we still need 2 more effective attacking players.

What would that be based on..? 8 of our last 12 goals have been in the second half.

Oh yeah, of course - should be around the same sort of capacity then

Ah yes, both almost right... was 25,700 against Man City, so I'd think it would be pretty much the same - although, not it's being televised live, it might be a bit less than that, to make way for additional TV camera locations.

That does sound like a complete balls up & should never happen. Hope they rectify suitably for you. Although, of course it's going to be a small number - even if every season ticket holder missed out..!

I think we've only ever used Tickmaster for Wembley finals, which made sense with the volume of tickets to be sold (not as many as when you lot get there, obviously!) Surely Rovers don't use ticket master for home match tickets.?! The costs incurred & general lack of control would make that a ridiculous decision. Surely a sold out Rovers game could be catered by the ball boys popping around door to door with a card machine, sell then all and still make it back into school by the end of a couple of free periods..! I missed your reason for you, as a STH missing out on a Norwich home ticket - how can that be possible, ever - assuming it wasn't down to you missing your priority window.?

Won't be 26k with segregation etc, but fully expect it to be a sell out of however many are available. About 25k

Yeah, but won't be happening with 2 sell out games.

Depends on the club & the expectations. It was massive for a club like West Ham. Agreed, Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd - those that are usually chasing the Champions league, it would feel a bit second fiddle - but for a club who aren't amongst the elite regular trophy winners, it was huge.

That is bang out of order from Norwich! Why have they only given Rovers a 1,300 allocation, when competition rules state that they should be given over 4,000 (15%)

I wonder what Joey Barton thinks about that..?

I don't think they'd have been on sale back then - but I admire how organised you must be to buy that far in advance..!

I'd be quite happy with a team full of Mark Sykes' Or are you only wanting the Championship experience of more Harry Cornick's...?

Same here. Mexico 86 World Cup. Loved that ball..!

I think you are right mate. I was so annoyed that I told Beyonce & Rachel Riley that I'd had enough & to get dressed & leave.

Around 1/1.30 usually for a 3pm kick off.

Yeah, the league is always tight. Any run of form can push you up, or down dramatically. It's nice to be up around the top 6 for a change though.!
