Just for the interest of balance, the last time we travelled to Plymouth in the league was also a Tuesday night 13 years ago. We took 800 for what was our 3rd away game in 7 days (as well as Palace and Reading). Incomparable really

Yes, very true.

3rd of 3 away games in a week and we had taken 2000 to Reading 3 days before.

Rovers away support only travel to grounds they haven’t been too for 20 years..

Yep.

Then they try to make out that it’s the norm for them to take 3k everywhere despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. 

Didn’t we take about 600-700 down there for a pre season kickabout? I remember we sold the 650 tickets they gave us plus pay in the day?

Ah yes, avoiding relegation was always the aim. There was definitely never any talk of the play-offs in the first half of the season...

Haha, yeah, stupid bastards.

Before Christmas they were touching each other up about the possibility of us going down and them going up. Getting all excited way too early as they always do. 

Always makes it more satisfying when they end up bottling it and drop back down the L1 table and we survive comfortably in the division above.

Thanks Slagheads

I thought this would be after drifting through a few clubs post Rovers. Nope this is his comments directly after leaving them 

It was mate.

They were raging about it at the time.

Anyone else shitting themselves?

 

82ers sh**e forum trying to put a different spin on it, they're turning it all in to negatives, think the Barcelona of Bristol getting a tad twitchy that little old Rovers have exciting things happening

Actually is was them that compared themselves to Barcelona (although now it’s Boca Juniors apparently )

They just can’t help themselves can they? 

Even if it is built (and I actually think it will be) it’ll be smaller with zero history and owned by outside company. Sounds plastic to me.

Not sure why we’re supposed to be “twitchy” about that? 
 

Still, Gasheads bragging about things that haven’t happened yet….”it’s what they do”

D1ckheads.

8 ) Rover are relocated to Tranmere and called 'Tranmere Rovers' 

Tranmere have already got a football club with a proper fanbase.

Just ask Stefan Payne…

All the Gas need to remember about their supposedly massive and loyal support is that they’ve lowered the capacity of the Mem (which was already a small stadium) and they STILL never fill it.

It's a very similar logic to when they claim that their away support is amazing 'as a percentage of their home support ' which only goes to highlight how bad their home support is.

I don’t know when this came about but it’s all they ever come out with now 

Never mind the actual numbers, never mind the fact that we sell out more away games than they do…..”Gas away support iz better cos our ******* ome support is ******* shit innit you ******* shithead up dA gaz”

Gaslogic.

The only fans in the World who deliberately try to highlight how poor their home crowds are in an attempt to make their mediocre away support look better.

******* Cardiff

I’m certain that we still needed a result there to secure survival and avoid it going down to the last day. That second half was one of the longest 45 minutes of football I can recall.

Correct.

Aston Villa, to the delight of their fans, appeared to make zero effort to get a result against Blackburn earlier in the afternoon which meant us and Birmingham City were still in danger of relegation.

Unless of course we could pull off a highly unlikely victory against Brighton who were hoping to secure the Championship title, they even had the winners podium at the game for the inevitable celebrations.

Think they ended up getting pipped to the title.

no wins in 7 games. Seems to coincide with Matty Taylor joining

I didn’t realise that he had signed Matty Taylor on loan?

That’s a bit awkward Gasheads…

We'll only know once the season is done, but it'll be quite interesting to see at what stage we actually picked up the point that made us safe - i.e one more than the team who goes down in 22nd.

I thought after the Blackpool win that it was going to be enough even if we didn’t score a single point for the rest of the season.

I think it will be the draw at Huddersfield though.

Ha ha faith I have, but you got to admit our chances looked grim, even to staunch believers

Over the moon at how we look now compared to then. Some superb results and performances in the last 3 months so credit to Nigel and the players. This season was always about surviving under the financial circumstances and we’ve done that with relative ease.

Which ways the beach? 

4 minutes ago, Loco Rojo said:

We're safe now (mathmatically not, but i can't see us going down now).

Happy to be corrected but we are mathematically safe as far as I can see.

Reading would have to win every game to catch us, Huddersfield would have to win 3 and draw 1 at worst whilst overturning a huge goal difference.

Reading and Huddersfield still have to play each other so one of them would fall short of our current points total no matter what the result.

If nothing else we’re mathematically safe now.

13 mins gets you to the call with that bloke who was tuned into the city commentary by mistake 

It’s when the realisation kicks in and he quickly changed the subject…

I actually wonder what the odds were at the time.  

I believe it was about 10/1.

I remember a Gashead posting on their old forum that they’d put a tenner on it to ‘soften the blow’ and I wondered how skint you’d have to be for £110 to be considered as consolation for the embarrassment of your club getting kicked out of the football league by losing to a team who couldn’t even be bothered to bring their own kit?

There was City fans in the Mansfield end shouting City songs at us, and there are City fans waiting outside for us.

City, City, City, City

….but we’re not obsessed.

It was Mansfield fans singing pro-City songs to wind up the already stressed out Gasheads as the clock ticked down. This was confirmed on their own forum. 

Of course idiotic Gasheads can’t grasp the fact that they aren’t as loved and respected by everyone as they think they are. 

Even if City fans were in the away end then so what? Rovers fans were happy to boast that they were in with Brum fans at AG the year before when we got relegated.

Comedy gold! 

Gasheads on Social Media having the ******* nerve to slate our 1200 to Stoke the other day….

I think we’re all missing the bigger picture here, how do you fail to head butt someone?

I suppose if you’re suitably refreshed you may have double vision and choose to nut  the ‘wrong’ head? 

If that’s not the case then it becomes one of life’s mysteries like how the hell did that bloke from East 17 manage to run himself over with his own car?

I think he meant the team that finishes third bottom will be short of 49 points, not Huddersfield specifically.

Gotcha 

8 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said:

We're safe, 3rd from bottom won't be hitting 49 then there's goal difference.

I wouldn’t write Huddersfield off achieving that just yet, they’ve beaten Millwall away and Boro at home in their last 2 games with matches against Reading, Cardiff and Swansea to come. Blackburn at home as well who can be very hit and miss.

Expected them to lose both the last two games, now I can see them not only staying up but doing it with games to spare.

What the **** is he on about? Amazing where it can lead us….from the sack at Fleetwood at the bottom of league one, to the bottom of league one at another club?

“Amazing weee it can led us all”

Another 3 or 4 bottles of wine today by the looks of it.
