    Ahem, I'll have you know , one had to qualify for the Watney Cup by being one of the top two scoring sides in one's relevant division ! Clearly Ashton Gate was the home of dull 0-0 draws and scrappy 1-0 wins back then whereas, as the old saying went, Eastville for entertainment :)

    Correct. 

    We had plenty of entertainment there!

    Lets hope this bus will be reversing fairly quickly !                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This start of season feels so very different, doesn't it?

    A renewed sense of purpose is running through Bristol Rovers. I can certainly feel it as well in the positive vibes from many on gas chat. The prospect of glory, promotion and possibly champions is certainly worth thinking about.

    Our squad, strengthened seemingly every week, have returned to the training pitch with a fire in their bellies that's unmistakable as seen in our recent performances.

    Joey Barton's passion is infectious and clearly attracts top players. We can be confident about the future. There's an aura of determination and unity around this club that's the hallmark of any footballing success.

    A winning culture is being forged, and for those of us who've stood by Rovers through thick and thin, this feeling is as precious as silverware.

    The whispers of hope are growing louder, not only within the stands but within gaschat. Our Dreams, long held in check, are converging with the reality of what our club can achieve. No longer looking down but looking up to the future.

    Joey Barton has nurtured a spirit that is seen in of champions, and our style of play is imbued with the same energy, the same hunger that defined the great teams of yesteryears.

    This season, the road to promotion is in front of us. The bus is here, as it has been since 2011, ever hopeful, waiting for us to climb aboard and carve our name in the annals of Bristol Rovers football history.

    For me, I am daring to dream of the unattainable - To be Champions - the ground-breaking goal. Like everyone, I’ll take promotion in anyway.

    With the right mindset and the talent in our squad anything is possible.

    The bus is ready to ride again.

    Blimey!  What was this bloke on?

    Anyway, back to reality... Playing the mighty Cambridge today!

    I know it sounds stupid but for a couple of hours after each game I do feel the result has a bearing on my mood.  Last Saturday was great for example.

    Yes, I agree.

    A mildly amusing memory of mine goes back to when my son and daughter were in their early years...and sex education was on the agenda at school.  I arrived home from work and found them sniggering in the garden.  I wondered what was going on when out of the blue my giggling younger daughter said... "Dad, do you have sex with mum?" 

    I was shocked for a second but regained my composure enough to reply... "Only when City win!"

    Probably not the best PC answer to give them... but there wasn't a Parents Correct Answer course to help me with that one!

    And at that time was probably the correct reason we only had two children!

    Ha. It triggers me a bit too :). But it's definitely not as triggering as 'draw' when the poster means 'drawer'. Get me though, because for my first 45 years (at least), I thought 'remuneration' was 'renumeration'. In other words, I'm not best placed to point out spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors, as I barely get by myself

    I know what you mean.  My problem is with full stops.  ?

    If he isn't involved this Saturday may well make his debut at Anfield the following Saturday.

    Exactly this.

    In a contact sport like this....his career can end at any time.

    AS is playing his cards right. He will be set for life when he signs that contract. He will be playing in the top league with the big boys. If he proves that he can do it at that level...consistantly, they will then be banging on Bournmouth's door...and he will be off again.

    Who on here would honestly refuse that chance?

    Fair play to him, I wish him well.
