ST sales now at 6k. Massive Club.

Doubt they'll be many higher at L1 level to be fair.

Then again, it's not even close to 14k

This does NOT represent the view of the majority of Rovers Fans .. You love to change things around to make it look like something else just like the media 

How does it feel to wake up this morning and be the THIRD biggest sporting club in Bristol BY A MILE?

40,000 supporters will be heading through the AG turnstiles on some weekends next season - just think they all coulda been yours 

Surely Clarke's ego will ensure he takes the Leeds job?

Anyone going to the first ever game under the lights at Glos tonight?

Weather looking a bit sketchy, mind.

On Bristol Rovers, a new director said "one almost without parallel in terms of local support"

What? 

Cheeky bugger. I wouldn't say R*vers are almost without parallel in terms of local support...I would say they are without parallel in terms of local support.

Sag season ticket sales: approx 4,000

City season ticket sales: approx 14,000

See.

We're so far apart.

didn't we have one when we got promoted to the championship in 2007?

There is a trophy for the runners-up tho. Not sure about third place...

Are you going to be having an open top bus parade, for finishing third in League Two, ahead of Accrington Stanley on goal difference??

Crolla fast becoming the next Hatton. Both really nice guys, great boxers and have captured the Manchester  and wider public's imagination. So much respect for Crolla, that bloke was a dangerous opponent - you could tell he could box and hit hard.

Devastating ko for Khan but always a danger of it happening. Gotta wonder how much he's got left in the tank now. He simply has to take the Brook fight, which would be a sell-out at Wembley.

As for those who long for the return of the Bristol Derby, what sort of ambition is that? We want to challenge ourselves against teams like Boro, Burnley, Derby, etc, not Bristol's equivalent of Gillingham or Leyton Orient.

Absolutely. In short, they need us a lot more than we need them.

I can't wait until they turn on 'Darrell' when things start to go badly, and end up hounding him out the club like they did with 'Trolls' and 'Ollie'.

Fans on the pitch celebrating...

Well, they have just managed to beat the worst team in the entire football league with practically the last kick of the game...

One of Accrington or Oxford are gonna **** this up I reckon.

Chisora v Pulev and Khan v Alvarez this weekend.

Chisora up to his usual antics at the presser yesterday dragging Pulev's head down whilst in the stare out. He's got his work cut-out on the night and whilst capable of a surprise will probably lose.

Alvarez heavy favourite to beat Khan. I like what I've been hearing from Khan though, accepting he doesn't have the power to trouble Alvarez and saying he'll use his speed and movement to win the fight. If he gets dragged into a fight with Alvarez; he's getting knocked out. If he boxes on the outside and retains his speed from being a light-welter then I believe he can win and will be having a little bet on him at 5/1 to win on points.

"Regardless of wealth, Wael has made it clear that he is going to run the club the right way not the Lansdown way"

What does this even mean? 

It means the sags will continue to be run on a shoestring budget.

I think they're all but up looking at their run-in.

boxers are there to take punches.  Second one was average.  He didn't want to know.

They're not and Martin has to think about his health, family and career.

Quite simply he found out he was out of his depth pretty quickly.

He tasted the power and after that he didn't want to know, and who can blame him? He gets up the second time, he's only going straight down again - why risk potential permanent damage?

Mahela! What a legend. Was lucky enough to meet the great man a few years back in Sri Lanka. Top man.

Not much, other than they're meeting financiers in London today and there is a plan B but can't go in public domain.

Cheers, pretty sure I know what that plan is if it's the same one they've had for a while now.

Anyone able to give a summary of what Toni the till has been saying here:

Are we matching their 451?

In the 2014-15 season Roverzzz lowest "league" home crowd was 4,861.

In the same season we took 5,109 to an away league match at MK Dons.

Quigg left it well to late,there is having a game plan and then there is that,shocking

Yeah not quite sure what Joe Gallagher's game plan was, but whatever it was it failed miserably.

I thought both fighters looked petrified when they touched gloves at the start of the fight and relieved when it was all over. One of those fights where the stakes were so high the pressure got to both of them.

The first two rounds were terrible but after that I thought Frampton took control of the fight and he left no-one in doubt as to who the superior boxer was.

Shocking yet again to see such a bizarre scorecard from a judge - Quigg by 2 rounds, really??

Frampton v Santa Cruz next assuming he defeats Martinez.

Anyone recommend a pub in Bristol showing the fight tomorrow?

Anyone know when tickets go on sale for the Gayle-force T20 games at Taunton?

4 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat since SC left

13 pts from 6 games

There's just something not quite right about this Wael Al-Qadi bloke
