Rovers are a small club but their fans have delusions of grandeur about their support. At the same time they constantly slag off our supposedly shit away following. So no, by the standards they claim for themselves it’s not pretty good especially when it’s only half what we took in a similar position. If they didn’t spout shit and lies people like me wouldn’t mention it. I shouldn’t have to explain this. They took 295 away to Barrow I bet you've never taken that few anywhere! I would love to see their average away following this season v yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he done ok here considering he was working for a parasite of a chairman and as for Barrow its a strange job as they have a fanbase similar to FGR and a ground that has has many stands as the swamp so no real chance of progression.

They're definitely "odd". Can't argue with that. It certainly looks like less than 650 in that photo ( how dare anyone doubt the narrative? ) I guess the missing 200 are actually the ficticious 10,000 locked outside as per usual. Oh yeh, and as for the 60 supposed geordies in the away end. The reality is they are as fictious as the notorious 10,000 . . . . or probably match stewards. But hey-ho who are we to doubt that fans of every club love the wonderful Woe-vers. Yesterday's defeat was woe, woe and thrice woe for the miserable Blue Few. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Anderson's dad was celebrating his 50th birthday with some mates, hence the Geordie contingent in the away end. Local day out to see his son play, nothing more than that.

If it's through the website then Rovers only sold 600 if it's pay on the day that would make 700 in that photo Edited March 27, 2022 by Shaun Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scum constantly cherry pick away attendances of ours (e.g. Barnsley the other week) as evidence we have a crap support, but it gives a distorted view - if you average out our away followings versus theirs ours is better. @Peter O Hanraha-hanrahanhas laid out the stats to back this up several times. Now, they will say they have a higher percentage who go away but to me all that signifies is how abysmal their home support is. For a team on an annoyingly decent run there have been a lot of gates beginning with a 7 this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
