I only wish that the internet had been invented and available in 1977 because I'd have loved to have read through their forum on the morning after the Coventry 2 v City 2 match which ensured that we avoided relegation from the old Division One. They must have been gutted!

Remember the Jimmy Hill/John Sillett/Alan Dicks  conspiracy theory? 

Jimmy Hill was a gurt 'ted mind!

Then we let them have Gary Collier on the cheap as pay off 

Next up, massive following tonight to Shrewsbury Town who are flying high and unbeaten at home.

3-0 to the Shrews? att. 5, 345?  (297 away?) 

Welcome to the big time

It'll be more fun if they got a pissed-up Rod Stewart to do it...

Does Spike play for Notts County?

Big day for the little teams today hoping to draw a giant in first round of the FA Cup. Home to Pompey or Blackburn maybe? 

Bristol R*vers 2 Newcastle 1.          I never thought I would see that score! 

Predictably Christian Ribeiro was given a load of abuse. . . .and they say we're obsessed

Stadium, I'll have you know

Never on my watch, makes me laugh when some of the commentators still refer to it as the Memorial Ground.

I thought that inflamable stands were banned after the Bradford fire.

I thought you said inflatable stands for a minute then. . . . .oh hang on, I've just given them a plan for the Memorial Ground improvements

My mind is boggling out of its capsule. Do those dirty, web toed ring fingerers swallow this load of old crusty bollocks!

The kids do, their propaganda machine is better than North Korea.

Yes.

20 years at one point from the 60s through to the early 80s and obviously the 22 years we were in the football league before their circus arrived.

they got promoted to the 2nd division in 1974 two years before we hit the big time, they must have gone above us at least once in two seasons

as the gap nears the 17 year mark, got me wondering have we ever been above them for so long in our history?

Just passed the sags team coach on M25 in Essex, is the driver lost?!

FA cup 3rd qualifying round replay?

It seems that they are up against one of old boys nearly every week now, next up Northampton (Cobblers!) with Brendan Moloney 

and ex gas caravan dweller JJ O'Tool  

According to asschat Saturday's crowd was under 10k because it was all ticket and as some of the blue few have no access to internet or local media

(or can't read or write)  hundreds were either locked out or stayed in the Welly

Oh I've done all that and more mate...they are seriously deluded about their support, both home and away. They seriously think they have more loyal fans than us....despite the fact we average more at home and away than them , every season...

and of course, the killer question, How many for the final ever match at Eastville

When the gasheads I know start saying they get better away followings than us I just cut them off with "we took 18k to our last home game...how many did you manage?" They've got a great range of blank and baffled looks as they try to compute that one...

tell them 5k to WBA, 5k to MK DONS, our 8k to Anfield compared to their 5k, and what about 15k to Coventry ? 

Couldn't even get 10k with a sold out away end 

Green army 

Next up Plymouth Argyle whose squad includes our former Ginga Ninja Ryan Taylor 

Looks a bit like Ben Stokes now 

Would you, as a football club owner, post photos of your children wearing another football teams shirts on social media?

Weird!

I seemed to have missed the Tilson exchange rate explanation, anyone?

Original cost of UWE was to be £37m..........blimey, that's a hundred Tilsons!

It is fair to say that nobody does piss-streaked buildings like Bristol Rovers ...

In the top photo have they nicked one of Jaspers  help Bristols homeless containers?

I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for the disabled R*vers fans

Don't want to be a kill joy, but I do feel sorry for disabled fans of Rovers, but respect them for trying to do something to help the situation. It does however, show what a really parlous financial state that club is in,  if the DSA have to resort to building this.

have to agree on this. it really is a non-league set-up

Indeed especially being a wooden structure.

it looks very much like a £89 flat packed garden gazebo available from most B & Q's or the like.

Actually available online for about £1,500 (5% of a Tillson)

edit, that's the deluxe model, the Mem version is about £750 (2.5% of a Tillson)
