Yep. Same size as Fleetwood, not Norwich

Rovers in a nutshell The amount of fans that believe that a new ground will solve all of their problems is staggering. They think they've got 20-30k of fans waiting in the wings who are going to come flooding back to watch them. Totally and utterly deluded. The reality is that they'd end up in a soulless bowl which always looks empty and lacks atmosphere. They're skint and don't have a pot to piss in. A freebie new stadium won't undo years of dying a slow and painful death.

In terms of staying in the top flight some clubs might need to be realistic. The mass culling of mangers that seems to happen these days won't fix a squad blighted by injuries or who have no strength in depth. You look at clubs like Stoke and Charlton as two examples who decided they needed to 'push on' to the next level and quickly found out that the next level would end up actually being the Championship and League One respectively. A lot of different factors (including luck) need to align to win a championship and unless the gulf is insane like it is in Scottish football then there is always the chance that another team might get the ingredients right to mount a title challenge from inside of the pack. The problem is that once that team wins the league inevitably the more financially powerful clubs quickly move in to poach the better players and break it up, so fewer clubs could ever potentially dominate like Leeds, Liverpool, Man Utd and Man City now appear to be doing. As supporters though, if we didn't dream of the possibility of getting to the Premier League or winning something now and again then there wouldn't really be much point to it. Let's hope that we never see the "Superleague" and a closed shop because that really would destroy the game for supporters of clubs like ours who live for the dream.

Let's all send the standard "Is this still available?" messages And then say "Sorry, too far away" Or just fail to send any other response like most time wasters do on Facebook Marketplace

So the blue 'HALF' of Bristol and the 6th richest club in the country gets lower attendance figures than Peterborough? Oh I love this! I'm gonna dine out on this one for a long time to come... The GIFT! ?

Greatest Player to wear a Rovers shirt - Colin Daniel

Yate, Mangotsfield, Chippenham and FGR

Fixed that for you ? ?

What an awful article. 99% of it is utter bollocks. All that was missing was the words 'speed merchant' before Chris Martin.

Let ‘em go to ‘Sabadawl’ as they call it so they can monkey spank over another club in blue and white quarters and think somehow it makes them special and loved. **** me. They could always arrange a friendly with a Jockey if the quarters mean so much to them. Knob jockeys!

A Tillson would cost £798,727.83 in today’s money

* Rovers are actually top as this doesn’t include locked out supporters or people who have other things on like the Balloon Fiesta etc

The gift ? ? ??

An amazing achievement. More of the same next season and the season after etc etc etc I just don't have the words to express how much I like this post!

Could have been worse? We could have failed to get our finances in order and ended up in League One like Reading. What we have achieved this season cannot be underestimated.

Nope…..This….

Apparently the extra fans were made up of apprentices and their families. Apprentices in Carpentry, Plumbing, Electrics etc

One can never get tired of these things! The Sags had their annual Dean Windass get together last night. Holloway was there this time for the cock tugging fest.

So I take it that going to the Slumorial won’t be Reading’s Cup Final next year? 45,000 to Wembley and the 6th richest club in this country!

They went higher. 45k according to one deluded fan on that fateful day in 2014. You also need to factor in the sheer amount of fans unfairly locked out which is somewhere in the region of 20k. They are the next Darlington in waiting should they ever get that free ground that they are trying to scab.

There’s a line in that song “We nearly made it”……a bit like celebrating at Wycombe a week before the season actually ended.

Happy Sir Colin Daniel Day fellow shitheads. I’ve had 2 divorces and there are City fans in the Mansfield end singing City songs at us. Geoff? Can you not be biased to they gert Ted’s just playing commentary of their match instead of us poor poor victims who were safe last week at Wycombe? Geoff: Try tuning into the right frequency mate. 2014 - It was all ground ground ground and they forgot about the team. 2023 - It’s all ground ground ground and they are forgetting about the team.

Yes…..’Envy Green’ as they seethe with it.

Don't be fooled. This is in fact their trophy cabinet (Watney Cup - top left and Worthington Cup Preliminary Round Runners Up bottom middle) #Tinpot
