Some points spring to mind 1) "We need you for longer" - Could it possibly be that the self-styled "watch them from the pavements / best fans in the world" were actually just crap last night? 2) Manager's usually go out of their way to praise fans, especially so travelling fans - so for him to make ANY negative comments to fans, which can turn out risky for a manager's future, he must have felt their support was FAR below expectations 3) He says the shirt "weighs heavily on the players" - he does realise they are Bristol rovers not Man Utd, Tottenham or Arsenal right? They have exactly zero history so what is weighing on the players minds?

I'd imagine signing to play for the gas means you have little to none of that left.

Will Harold Kornikk be starring?

Middlesbrough = Teesside

16 games left, 40 points accrued - 12 points adrift -> Normally you'd need around 70-75 points over a league one season to make the playoffs So they "just" need to average around 2+ points per game for the rest of the season. To put this in context this is kind of the mark being set by automatic promotion candidates such as Southampton and Leeds in our division or Pompey and Derby in theirs.

Does this qualify as a biggest low crowd?

Counting to 11 or 12 is incredibly easy for them in fairness

May I suggest Ronnie O'Sullivan? - the points gap means they are needing snookers atm to rescue this "iconic" season.

That's a very big if. Even with us playing well in the cup. Let's not get ahead ourselves - best to leave that to the iconic promotion chasing team.

A bit off topic but... Having been to Kuwait 4 or 5 times - I ceartinly don't recall the skies looking anything like that, or there being much "greenery" or trees as shown in the picture. My recollection of Kuwait was unbearable outside temperatures (45+ deg in the middle of the day) and very, very, few clouds. A special mention should also go to the absolute cluster-f*@k of a shambles that is their main airport - for such a rich country it is an utter embrassment. It frequently appears near the top of lists of the worst airports in the world. Lets hope that it serves as an inspiration for development of a certain venue in North Bristol!

They're just a sh#t MK Dons!

Ah "the president said" the pillars would be removed!! I bet no evidence or link can be found for Wael saying this. So it is basically from the same source as their magically increasing attendance figures - gas logic

- what !?! In all the pictures I have seen there is defintely no cantilever structure. Not even the gas could be so stupid as to do that. This was it being built... The plans Its pretty clear the pillars support a beam

Surely a team who less than one month ago were pushing for promotion shouldn't be needing penalties to win a home game? or maybe its just the case that this "journalist" is following the typical gashead approach of celebrating too early. Pretty soon his tweet from 23 Dec will take its place alongside the unwashed chanting "we got our stadium" at Ashton gate, and celebrating staying up at Wycombe the week before getting relegated

A few realistic ones on there now suggesting their playoff ambitions are over - I give it a few hours before they are labelled as "gurt teds" and banned, whcih will be awkward as one of them was a forum moderator!!

The "something special happening", "iconic" season rolls on for "promotion chasing" Bristol Rovers. They are just 15 points and 16 goals behind Oxford in 6th place now. beaten to it by @Port Said Red

Having the same issue here

Well.... They would be selling out easily if it was not for the Life Cycle Hub hosting a beginners bicycle maintenance course a short walk/ride away the same day. However unlike the match at the memorial the Lifecycle Hub event tomorrow appears to be sold out. https://www.lifecycle.org.uk/courses-qualifications

Ashton Gate Stadium - A premier venue in the south Bristol area attracting conferences, concerts and other large events Memorial Stadium - A festering dump in a north Bristol attracting small scale livestock auctions

Can VAR cameras be fitted to temporary structures like tents and cowsheds? - asking for a friend

What!? No pillars? It's witchcraft I tell ye!

I read that Norwich made 7 changes from the team they put out against Hull (which you presume would have been their strongest, or close to strongest)

Happy to announce the kick off timing which was previously to be confirmed is now confirmed as NEVER
