Have you seen your club on. There was a story on Sky recently where an Ipswich fan. had just visited her 90th ground with Ipswich. I've done 176 with The Gas, so firstly I want a large medal and secondly , there must be a few who have watched City with a similar number?

Of all the candidates mentioned, he'd be my pick.

It is interesting( and slightly depressing for me) that City are now getting these sort of crowds. I've been watching Rovers for around 50 years and if we are saying the gap in attendances is around 10k in terms of home support, I think that would be the biggest gap I've known. In terms of league position , we aren't that different from where we have been for much of that period. The one obvious difference now is that you have , in effect, a new stadium. As much as many of us- myself included- like an old school ground, it does seem that the rebuild of Ashton Gate allied maybe with the professionalism and drive of Steve Lansdown have had an incredible effect on attendances.

Yes I had seen that, sad news.

Lovely bloke and very knowledgeable about all things Rovers related. He is just there to comment on the game, albeit from a Rovers perspective. No different to when Colin Howlett commentated on Rovers and Phil Tottle on City.

It made me smile anyway

You think we will beat Whitby then?

It must be very frustrating for you all to be held up in your plans , while work on our 'superstadium' is well under way. #comingforyou

I met Leroy Lita when i was involved in kids football and he gave out the trophies on a presentation night and I have to say he came across as very quiet and unassuming. Re the comments about Brooker, this may endear him to you all a little more. Saw him play against us up at Cheltenham and he got horrendous abuse from the first whistle. He scored in the second half in front of the Cheltenham fans, but turned around and ran back up to our end to celebrate in a very vociferous manner, upsetting quite a few. TBF I would never blame any player for doing that, if you can't take it back, don't dish it out.

Never saw a game there , but I used to cover IOW for work and being a bit of a ground nerd (about 175 with the Gas alone) I nosed around it a fair bit and I would say that is 99.999999999% St Georges Park , the old ground of Newport in the IOW.

That indeed was the common consensus. However, my opinion was that Celtic were so dreadfully abysmal that season, even Rangers couldn't fail.

Yeh- I loved him I don't get the mentality there though, they had Giovanni Van Bronckhurst in charge, a decent bloke with a good football brain and a Rangers background. He gets them to a European final, with some spectacular results along the way, which they only lose on penalties and he's gets sacked the next season for a poor showing in Europe., absolutely ridiculous decision. Gerrard is loved there for stopping ten in a row, but the way Celtic were that season I think next door's act could have won them the league. Beale rode in on the back of that success and the fact he talks the kinda shite about the club that some fans lap up (which is all Gerrard did as well) Anyway, I am a bit worried, Celtic haven't been playing that well this season and I was relying on Rangers being shite again. lets hope they don't make a decent appointment.

Gutted.

12th is top half!

I feel their pain. We will never win the Watney Cup again.

Can I get back to you on that?

Football grounds are full of middle aged blokes shouting 'come on then' from a distance of 100 yards behind several lines of police, I don't think Millwall are any different in that respect. My cousins on my mum's side are pretty much evenly split between Palace and Millwall and with the exception of one of the Millwall (I was with him in the open end at Ashton mid80s? where it went absolutely mental ) most of them are just your normal everyday blokes who like football and follow their local team. They definitely do attract a 'type' though, I've been to Millwall games with cousins and ended up talking to several 'geezers' with strong mockney accents who turn out to be from Slough, Hertfordshire, Basingstoke and the like. They aren't the only ones Rangers, Chelsea and West Ham do and on the other side of the coin I've bumped into a few weapons at Celtic over the years. If you think about it logically, Andrew Tate must get his followers from somewhere

I like your confidence.

I thought I read- possibly on here- that , in the case of something like a football stand, temporary just means it can be moved if required. So if we wanted to take it to any new stadium that we may be moving to/talking about building/releasing a picture showing what it 'could' look like for the Evening Post to put on the front page, then we could take it with us.

I had missed that. It was of course 'The Bountyhunter'. I seem to remember Gary Penrice's tash coming in for some stick.

That was a great fanzine. I remember seeing the Mansfield poster/cover and it taking me far too long to work out what it actually said.

That's what I'm worried about!

Please don't joke about things like that.

I'd have that over The ******* Wurzels any day.

I honestly do want to stay at the Mem , for reasons I have said so on here before, although as the fruit market is fairly central I could have been happy with it. I've stopped worrying about behind the scenes stuff long ago and just enjoy a weekend with mates and occasionally seeing a good game- which tbf we have seen a few of lately. Sometimes I do think though 'FFS really?' . I have lost count of the number of new grounds proposed and promised, we must hold some kind of record.
