I assume part of this response is aimed at me, but I didn’t call your club ‘scum’ or ‘vile’ in the post to which you replied ... and I wouldn’t, because my Dad, my Grandad and my Great Grandad were all roverzzzz fans ...

No it wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at people who use such terms to describe an entire football club. I know we have often disagreed quite vociferously in the past, but I get the impression you're a decent bloke. Well apart from being one of they Tedzzz like.

They were in the autumn. Plenty calling for Sharton’s head then. And they call us fickle!

They did play at AG for a few games in 1980.

They did, after the wooden stand at Eastville burned down. Due to its wooden construction  it would have soon been closed as it didn’t meet modern, for the time,  safety  standards. Instead the greyhound company received an insurance payout. Thus the fire was very convenient though, of course, I’m not suggesting anything dodgy happened.

More than twice as many at Bradford who are piss poor and over 2000 more per game at a one horse town like Swindon, 7200 is truly embarrassing, yet according to their away with the fairies manager they’d fill AG

Could somebody please inform Joey Barton that Bristol Rovers haven't had a 27000 home Gate since the 1950s! Despite being on for automatic promotion their average gate is 2000 below their very small capacity of 9000. Massive club

Which makes it even more appalling that the FA have decided to use the Manchester City Academy ground for the women's euros. They could have used the Mem instead.

Perhaps the mem should host the Womens Euros rather than the Man City Stadium. They may then  be able to declare a record crowd .

Exactly.

The rivalry between Brighton and Crystal Palace stems from a period of ground sharing; for whatever reasons it builds resentment and jealousy rather than ever being regarded as a favour.

When did Brighton and Palace share a ground? I don’t recall that. According to a Palace fan I know, the rivalry stems from a series of incidents throughout the 1970s, especially at Cup ties, when Alan Mullery and Terry Venables were the respective managers ... I didn’t realise the clubs shared a ground?

No, credit where credit is due, they are doing ok. Don't like it but accept it. Fair play.

Unlike a lot on here I neither hate nor dislike the Rovers but think it would be a bad move to let them play at AG even the once.

Think they shared with Gillingham for a couple of seasons then spent several years at the Withdean before going to the new ground.

If you want to ignore someone, it's probably best just to, well like ignore their posts rather than comment on them

I swear you were on here at the start of the season bragging about a small set to in the bar with Barton? When he told you you would get promoted after losing to someone shite

Fair enough 

It was a Palace fan who told me that and it sounds like he was wrong.

Nevil Road? Or maybe the soon to be unveiled fruit market which I`m sure they`re looking forward to running out in next season. It must be nearly finished by now.........................................

I don't know if 'bragging' is the right word and it certainly wasn't a 'set to'. Barton was trying to drum up support in the bar on a couple of occasions 'guaranteeing' promotion. A lot of fans lapped it up but I said something along the lines of I hadn't seen anything that remotely made us look like promotion candidates  and I'd rather the talking was done on the pitch.

Barton makes a big thing of getting everyone onside , which he has pretty much done and to be fair his side has  done the talking on the pitch, it has been an incredible turn around.

I'll be delighted IF we do go up, we are a really good side to watch and Joey Barton and his squad deserve an awful lot of credit for what they will have achieved. I won't forget though, that a couple of seasons ago  at Xmas time we were third in the table and eyeing the Championship - albeit with a very different playing style. Since then Joey Barton has taken us done to the bottom tier and it was one of the most gutless relegation 'fights' I have ever witnessed. IF we go and IF we then start challenging for the play offs in the division above, then I really will be impressed. For now I'll just enjoy the ride.
