Lanterne Rouge Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Home to the mighty Carlisle next Saturday. Any crowd predictions? Sub 6k with about twenty from Cumbria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only managed to drag their home support up to around 6800, after a confidence boosting win and in a local(ish) derby. I can see around 1000 of those disappearing next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd find it very hard to believe that's the most you can pay any player. That's a good wage for league Two, I think the average down there is 900 quid a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hours after the game to have edited that and posted it is quite the effort.

It`s clearly a conspiracy hatched by Bristol City Council, Sainsbury`s and Wycombe Wanderers and the evil genius behind it all is the tax dodger Pantsdown.

BTRFTG Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Gas_Harry_15's mockumentary is the funniest thing I've watched in ages and his stream of consciousness commentary a thing of genius. My personal favourite wasn't the constant stream of, "Sh*t!" every time The Gas were defending (sic), rather: "...that was never a fu*kin penalty........I'd 'ave to look at it again as I didn't see it....." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I know the Police quite rightly are coming in for some criticism of late but credit where credit's due. I see many Fewers are complaining that yesterday they were kettled in their own ground by the Old Bill long after the final whistle so as to allow jubilant Swindon fans an expedite exit. They complain they were forced to wait and watch for half an hour or more whilst being taunted at for yet another abject performance. Whoever the matchday commander was, take a bow...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! How is 20 years ‘swift’? Don’t ask the Gas though because it’s closer to THIRTY years since they were last in the second tier.

nick jones of hereford Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’ve just watched the video that the Rovers fan (cretin) made. Listening to the litany of foul mouthed expletives from Rovers fans throughout the game is a feature that could be a case study on the underclass that support that team. It’s so bad, it’s hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
