Fair play to them for seeing off MUFC on what was a quagmire of a pitch, sixty odd years ago. How they managed to play on that I don't know.

Think that beats a couple of good seasons in the second tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not finished in the top half of England's second tier since those sepia-tinted days of jumpers-for-goalposts, since 1960. If we finish 7th or higher this season, that will be a higher finish - another one - in the 92 than they have ever finished, in their entire miserable history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, true to form, expect their fans to grass and it all be out in the open. I'd like to clearly state I am not alleging anything illegal. The rumour goes that someone with very long ties to a "football" club had a role in hospitality. Full tables every week. Posters alleged (then were deleted by admin) that there was a possibility that this chaps mates may have not been paying the full price on a very regular basis for a significant number of places, and that these lower payments weren't accounted for in the books Club investigated.

Carey 6 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I see a few Bristol Rovers players on social media are posting pictures of some kid they believe has stolen stuff from their changing room. Of course I have no idea what proof they have, but I'm sure even the police don't post pictures of minors. I might be completely wrong but are they on dodgy ground by posting a picture of him without any proof? https://twitter.com/tomnichols20/status/956852013828108288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
