Bless them..! 
A once in a century extra ordinary pandemic situation might, just MIGHT lead to them achieving their own once in a century, extra ordinary situation of having a sell out..! 
 

Doubtful, still - but when have facts ever gotten in their way..?!

If you are trying to be “funny”, and failing like normal, if it’s in reference to tents they are guy ropes not guide. 

Are they really..? Well there you go! Every day is a school day! 
I stand corrected. 
Thanks, you grumpy, miserable sod..!

What does ‘Football with Tradition’ actually mean?
 

Surely that applies to every club in the football league?
 

 

horse punching ,head butting, windows, rascist abuse ,sexually  abusing women, rickets  all things that were common place  in the 19th century .

This is what they do! Taken from facebook.

  • Dom White The best piece of Bristol Policing I ever witnessed: Rovers came back home. First match at the Mem was sold out but in those days you could watch half the match from outside the ground. All of us Dads were outside the ground watching the game but half way through the second half all of our children started getting fractious and bored and wanted to go home. They were all moaning and mithering so a woman Police officer rounded up the children and locked them in the prison van so we could watch the match in peace, cos as we all know, Rovers fans are very well behaved. I asked a Policeman if he was expecting trouble, he replied, not from you lot, it's the other lot we have trouble with!!!

I can't remember if it was sold out or not (granted it absolutely should have been) but I would imagine that wasn't far off capacity when we returned (although I stand to be corrected) The ground would have been 3 (possibly even 2) sided then.

Now whilst Wiki isn't always right, it does suggest that would have been a tad over half full....

I'm pretty sure that Wiki is way out on this occasion. The capacity is still short of that figure for football and considering there were only 2 or 3sides of the ground open for that first game, there was absolutely no way capacity was over 12k that day. We didn't even have any tents back then!
