Can they drop much further? Could we be seeing crowds of under 1k come the end of the season if the decline is so rapid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 4 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: My memory is probably wrong, but I thought the first year of the play offs saw a 'to be' relegated side playing a 'to be' promoted side. I would love to see this revived. Bottom two go down and op two from league below go up. Third bottom in the higher league plays third top in the lower league home and away two-legger for the third spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously one of the many Championship clubs who aren’t actually envious of their ‘bonkers’ away support is us as we clearly travel in larger numbers. Think that’s worth pointing out again. Where on earth do they find these deluded cretins? He/she/it is factually correct on one thing for a change in mentioning "gas" and "spark" in the same sentence and hopefully do us all a favour and in doing so get rid of all that methane quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 “The Gas Collective”? Is that like the Urban Cookie Collective? A long forgotten band who are also still dining out on a flash in the pan in the 1990s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who can rightfully and genuinely claim to have first used and coined the wonderful expression of “mind the gap”. Not a challenge or knock down, but just intrigued to know if we can actually identify and thank who created (OK London underground might have a shout here) when they first used the accurate and amusing analogy between ourselves and the Gas?

Bar BS3 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 12 hours ago, Ska Junkie said: IIRC, after we played, extremely well, at the Etihad a couple of years ago, there were a couple of gasheads that went straight on to the Man C forums slagging us off and saying they 'would have taken more fans', 'much better club', 'love us more than them gurt 'teds' etc only to be embarrassed by the Man C collective. It made for great reading on the long trip home as I remember it. Like Man C fans give a shit! I think it’s a fair assumption that Rovers would take more to Manchester, on a Tuesday night, than they get at home games..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
