What an odd photo size of that head. Has an arse to match mind...

Looks like the Blue Few are up for the craic.

Explains why they're always near the bottom, and another  reason why they're called the Gas.

So they tell us.

But of course, we know better.

My Leeds supporting mate reckons they could be playing Swansea and Cardiff at Ashton Gate.

Surely they won't beat both teams at the same time.

This gets better every time I hear it.

Surely some impressario can transform this gem of a recording into a blockbuster movie, a stage-play, musical or TV series.

Can anyone suggest a (suitably embarrassing) title?

Simon Jordan thinks fans may not be able to return to grounds for 12 months.

Listening to Talksport catchup for the SL stuff and yeah 12 months.

Won't make anything difference at the Mem.

No-one seems to go there anyway.

Judging by their sparse, thinly dispersed crowds they've been doing social-distancing for years.

When the gates were closed fans wee climbing over the wall in the open end including the away fans bit 

I thought the ground shook that night 

Giving rather than taking the piss?

Must have been a right shower.

Rumour was that it was 41,000! 

‘Ramming’ was the method that achieved that number. 

Managed to get in earlyish,, so wasn’t too bad in that part of the East End I was stood. Late comers were the one’s who suffered I think. Know a few that were turned away when the gates were closed before the start of the match. 

In my opinion the attendance was much higher than the official 38,000+.

It was bedlam that day.

The Police numbers were high, but insufficient to deter ticketless chancers from both clubs, many of whom got in one way or another, before or during couse of the game (when security eased off).

I was in the East End, which was packed to the rafters (literally!) Older members will remember the climbers who would shin up the steel girders and watch the game sat astride the cross-beams; usually getting nabbed by the Old Bill at the end of the game.

I thought this was the current Rovers squad photo.

But then I realised the quality was far too good.

Is that tent wearing a skirt?

Strange times!

Probably. They have quite a few upskirters at the Mem.

Coronavirus Update:  Rovers will be permitted to play all their home games as scheduled, as their attendances are considerably lower than the crowd exemption limit.

However, its likely Garner's "massive fine" will bankrupt them.

Had another chat to the Mackem lad in work that attended last night’s game at Chernobyl.

He said that behind the terrace where he was stood was some bits of tarpaulin, wire and some old white plastic garden chairs. He turned to his mate and said “Hardly Premier League this is it?”

He said the toilets were all Portaloo’s.

When I told him that they turned one into Santa’s Grotto he didn’t believe me, so I showed him the evidence. He was creasing!

I explained it was just one of many gifts that Rovers present us with which is why they are known as the Gift That Keeps On Giving.

When someone mentioned Rovers later in the day he said, “Who? The Gift?”

 

Proof if proof be needed that Wally has splashed the cash.

And he's got the receipt for the £13.06p he spent at Home Bargains, to prove it.

TWO  -  N i l   ffs... !     what went wrong?

Guess the Mackems were blinded by the bright lights of The Mem and stunned to find themselves in such salubrious surroundings.... I dare say the facilities took their breath away.  Cant think of any other conclusion to be honest...

Damn the Gas and their perfect little lives....   

At such a pokey ground and a pathetic attendance, it would have felt like they were playing behind closed doors.

From the Stadium of Light to the Stadium of Shite.

I think I'll be OK as I used to drink loads of this when I was a kid so I'm immune to it:

When they heard about the virus spreading, Corona bottled it ( a bit like Leeds and Derby in recent seasons).

If they get relegated,  Garner deserves a knighthood.

Go for it Garner. If anyone can do it, you can.

TV star Maya Jama casts doubt over her support for Bristol Rovers

Bristol Live (never let the truth or facts get in the way of a good story) states  "Jama had been part of a long list of famous Rovers fans"

Since when do three idiot Z-listers constitute " a long line of famous..." ?

At least City fans are consistent, Johnson in/Johnson out at about 50/50?

Their Garner in/Garner out poll has swung from 80/20 in to 80/20 out in only a couple of weeks

#ficklegas

For the avoidance of any doubt, Rovers do not use percentages in their polls.

These are, in fact, the actual total number of fans they have (which is an all-time high for them).

They are collectively known as Horfield's Hideous Hundred.

Proper gas speak that.

What an idiot.

Given that they spell "proud"  as "prowed",  the correct spelling must be "Blackthrown"

“Organiser estimates”? Yeah right, two school kids! 

One news reporter (Sky?) said the crowd was somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000.

Bit of wide spread there.  I reckon he knew/believe the organisers' estimates were well exaggerated.

Did they commission a SAG die-hard to help them come up with these figures? If so, they forgot to mention the 20,000 who were locked out.
