Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

Saw their bus earlier, Peter Carol 'Bristol Rovers FC.' On the Portway, under the Bridge, I was heading towards the Glorious High Performance Stadium, it was going towards Shire. I tried to gesture to their Drive that Portsmuff was thataway and that he and they were heading in the wrong direction, but I think he probably thought I was indicating the he and they were a/are manual manipulator/s. And anyhow, I thought, no, they're going the right way, they're going down League Two. And they know the way there. They might not know where the goal is, but they know where L2 is.

And to be fair to them, they are doing it in style.

Remember when they had ‘never played in the bottom division’?

Now they are going to be relegated into it for the 3rd time.

I used to work with a couple of gasheads back before the Higgs era and they said several times "Never been in the top, never been in the bottom".

In one sense it's a celebration of averageness but it also underlined that we had been in the fourth.

I wonder if they're now going around saying "Never been in the top, never been in National League South".

As mathematical confirmation to the basement looms I’m sure that the Sags are remembering better times, looking back on Eastville and the Tote with affection. What a massive club they were back then, challenging for promotion from Division 3 with their faithful and true amazing support turning up in ‘numbers’ to cheer on the boys in blue.

Let’s have a look at those numbers shall we?

Remember, they were challenging for promotion to what is now the Championship.....

The blue few relegation party in full swing......will they be burning an effigy of that lovely man Wael on Kingswood High St in protest? Or free packets of chewing tobacco for all? In truth, who cares - as they're another division apart and the Gap grows even more. I can't foresee a day where they will EVER be above us in the league ever again. And that's enough to make any gert Ted 'appy as 'ell today!! Off you go to L2, losers......

Hope not, I've got my fingers crossed for a 3 match winning run only to be thwarted by a late Wigan equaliser on the last day. True Gas styleeee

I hope they do go down today, as I'll probably be near a radio at full time and I'm looking forward to the phone in.

Don`t forget they kick off at 1pm for some reason. This of course means that the legend `BRISTOL ROVERS ARE RELEGATED` will be scrolling across the bottom of the Sky screen for a good half an hour before the other games kick off.

What would be even better: 3 match winning run for Rovers. 3 defeats for Wigan. But all 1-0 results, so Gas still go down by GD -23 to -24. (I think!)

When was the last time the squatters had 12k to watch a game. Because that’s what Joey Bag reckons they will get in league 2. Bristol Rovers the club of delusion 

Has Al Quidi told St Joey that and he's fell for it without finding the truth, because the lovely man with the lovely watch wouldn't lie, or has the deluded St Joey convinced himself he is that good at this management game that he will add 5000 on the gate?

It's not 1990 any more. Not much visible presence in these parts. It's like they've disappeared under a sea of red.
