To illustrate my point as I could just be an optimistic gashead and since Rovers are 1 point above the relegation zone they'll still go down. 

Here's two websites that use statistical models to predict as accurately as possible where teams will finish: They give Rovers between 8-15% chance of being relegated. And predict Rovers to finish 15th/16th

If statistics actually worked with football results, I would win the pools every week. Unfortunately for me and you they don't.

@bodin You don't own a computer shop do you ?

@bodin Have you posted on here before,  but used a different name ?

Our position is down to us being awful in the first half of the season but being great in the second half. To use City as an example, even though you finished 11th you were in the promotion race for the majority of the season, and yet the league table didn't show that. 

We finished 11th because that's what we deserved,  you're 1 point off the drop because that's what you' deserve.  Get it now ?

I can use a crayon if you're struggling.

No, your position is down to the fact you're not very good . The league table never lies and your bang in trouble lad. I'd be very cautious about celebrating too early ( remember Wycombe  )

For me, as a Rovers fan, I have to admit that your club and fanbase is much bigger than Rovers. But to claim Rovers are going absolutely nowhere is ridiculous. If you take the league table since Coughlan took over we're in a playoff spot. Clarke-Harris has 5 goals in 6 games. Holmes-Dennis looks to be a player that we could sell in the future for a massive profit. The fact is our problems this season came from Clarke's favourites and a lack of a strikeforce and finishing ability. In terms of expected goals we're much better than the teams around us and are on the same level as a team like Fleetwood in that respect. With a few additions, preferably a RB, a winger or two and a striker to replace Jakubiak (assuming we don't sign Bonham), we could easily be top half of league 1. I just think your fans are laughably optimistic about the lack of quality at Rovers just because we lost to a team which is too big for the Championship, let alone League 1 a couple of times. Plus City are on awful form as Johnson always does in the second half of the season. I'd be shocked if you got a playoff place, and if Johnson leaves then what then? Obviously i'm not denying that in terms of owners and funds and stadiums we're miles behind, but you don't need high attendances to be a successful team. Brentford only get 9k on average. 

You're a point above the relegation zone you absolute belter.

Why do they have such a need to be loved by other fans?

I guess they feel it’s some kind of moral victory but how ******* embarrassing to even ask fans of another club who they prefer out of the teams in Bristol 

Imagine being on holiday / away day etc when some helmet from Nottingham asks you if you prefer Forest or County. Don’t care mate, only interested in my team

Very odd set of fans in North Bristol

Classic inferiority complex, and they should feel inferior because they are.

Quite common in Rugby.

Has it been correctly risk assessed in order to get a safety certificate? And that it complies with all relevant H&S guidelines incl best height for viewing, viewing angle, optimum volume levels etc?

Probably not.

More likely is they don't own a TV licence.

It`s obvious what`s going on here. They`re stringing out the saga until the end of March and can then say it`s stuck in a 200 mile long lorry jam at Calais.

The truth is more likely that the supplier won`t deliver it until they`ve paid for it. Given their track record (allegedly) with paying bills it`s only what any sensible business would do.

Think it was safe to leave out allegedly in their case.

"I don’t think this seasons crowds have been helped by the changes the club made at the start of the season.The scrapping of the early bird discounted admission price & for the first time people not being able to use cash at the turnstiles."

What's the point of a release clause if you don't want anyone to know about it... 

Was it not his own agent ,who just happened to be Johnson's agent as well that leaked it ?
