What is it, 3 players over the age of 20 in that lineup? And a very convenient deal done in January? I hope this gets picked up a bit in the media but I doubt anything will come of it, it's not high profile enough, but I'd be fuming if I were a Northampton fan. Replay the game simples!

My Gas mate, Mike Offer who passed away 4 years ago at 72 would have been watching from heaven and I am pleased for him plus my friend Kevin who is a ST holder at the Mem. My uncle supported City and Rovers all his life as well. Only hope we make the Prem and you do a few years after....................what great local derbies I could be watching sat on a cloud with them all !!

When they played Hartlepool, in mid table obscurity (17th - so we know all about that!) and a match whose result meant very little for anyone else.

Fair play to them, quite a result. But what it has to do with me I really don’t know! And if you say you couldn’t care they think they are getting a reaction! This is why I don’t ever want them anywhere near us. They are thick as **** that lot The reality is they have just got promoted from a league they should never have been in. An absolutely dreadful league 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it has much to do with Rovers, and it wouldn’t (nor should it) affect anything from your end. You’d have to be completely blind to not admit that it looks suspicious though. Even some gasheads I know thought that something strange was going on, and rumours are beginning to surface that have called into question the integrity of the match. I suspect it will end in a Scunthorpe fine and you can go on your merry way to the third tier! Edited May 8, 2022 by Wanderingred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 As annoying as it is, I have never been a fan of the idea that clubs should be stopped from putting out a "weakened" team. They have the players on the books, it's up to them who they put out for a match. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bragging mate just find it weird that a Swindon fan continuously comes onto a City forum to put down Rovers attendances because they have a higher average than us? Has it happened so rarely lately that it’s actually something for him to brag about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 The gap is closer than it was this time yesterday. A gashead buddy sent me this yesterday evening - “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” He reckoned the meaning could have applied the gas and Northampton. Great comparison I thought. In case anyone didn’t recognise it - it’s the opening paragraph of a Tale of two Cities by Charles Dickens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be something to do with the fact that your lot constantly go on about attendances, lie about how many you take away and brag about “taking more dan da sh1t” because it’s “what we do”. It makes you a very easy target for ridicule. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
