I know it’s early but if they don’t get something from Wycombe they could quite easily end the month with nil points. Wycombe (A) Pompey (H) Southend (H) So my gas head (mates) at work are feeling a little bit nervy already Look forward to seeing how McGoalsky does against them...

pongo88 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 In case you’ve forgotten today is the 38th anniversary of when Rovers south stand burnt down at Eastville. It was a wooden structure and was about to be condemned as it didn’t meet safety standards. As a result of the fire Rovers received an insurance payout. Some people, at the time, claimed that the fire was started deliberately to get this money though, of course, I couldn’t say that. One result of the fire was that their trophy room was destroyed and all their trophies lost.

cidercity Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 16 hours ago, chucky said: Steve Hamer, chairman of Bristol Rovers, said an investigation was under way and the action was "not acceptable". He said: "We have had a major refit in the clubhouse and our bars this summer and we've got 14-15 new TVs all in place and I suspect there was an area of vulnerability there and somebody has hacked into it. I bet it was those gert Ted's!

I was driving along the M32 going out of town and couldn't believe it. If memory serves the manager at the time was Don Megson and when he asked about whether any cups had been destroyed the fire service said not to worry as the fire hadn't reached the canteen. Later that season the trophy room was burgled and the entire contents were stolen. Police later apprehended two men who were in possession of 20 square yards of blue carpet.

The Dunford's managed to purchase the Hambrook training ground from the insurance proceeds if memory serves me correctly. They then sold it and bought the Beeches and rented the facilities to Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR fans on the other hand just see them as the 5h!t team from Bristol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also get ready for Gash logic suggesting they have a better support than us comparing away followings at QPR even though our game there is available to domestic fans which will no doubt hit the numbers travelling, and that is a big day out for them. But that’s the “true” yardstick of support - not the fact they had less Tues night at the Mem-onanism Ground than we took to Deepdale in 2015.

According to the Internet Rovers haven’t been there for 38 years. They’ll sell out their Cup Final, make some noise for once, then gloat that they take twice as many away as ‘da shit’...but they’ll obviously ignore the fact that for bread and butter away matches in the League they don’t make anywhere near the same effort.

sticks 1969 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 It again sums up the huge gap between the 2 clubs when they are coming in there pants about a team we have played most seasons in the last few years. They will rant a rave about it being a great little ground when we think it’s a dump ..... forever in our shadow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
