Same for the England game wasn't it? 45,344 in a stadium that according to the official world cup site holds 40,000

Infact, same for every game so far apparently 

 

 

I knew The Gas owner had a role out there one way or the other

"Last week marked 22 years since the last time Rovers were above City in the league pyramid, a statistic gleefully classified by supporters in the south as “The Gap” and as the Robins have spent 14 seasons as a Championship team in that period, the Gas have been unable to get out of League One"

I beg to differ. Even had a spell as a non league side

In all seriousness…is it Grobelaar, Grobbelar, Grobellaar….with the OTIB spelling police, best to name your threads as vaguely as possible!

My Mum used to call him Gravel Ass

John Silletts contribution during the late 60s/ early 70s is too often overlooked. Ken Wimshurst too (who went on to run the Southampton academy in Bath)

The only match I really enjoyed away to West Brom was in the promotion season of 75-76. I great 1-0 win. Most of it since has been a bit of a disappointment 

iirc we were being pulverised in that game too

What are the Gas doing...just to cheer me up. It doesn't cheer me up!

As @Robbored mentioned I'd love to see Gerry Gow but he'd never really fit with todays game. Norman Hunter for similar reasons. A manager? Terry Cooper. He achieved a lot with very little

If I saw my team concede 6 to Lincoln at home in the league, I’d be diving head first into the Avon 

and landing head first on a shopping trolley at low tide

9 games.....wow

Could the next competitive Bristol derby be our Under 23’s against them in the papa Johns trophy?  

Haven't they gone tits up?

I can remember walking the length of the Portway on New Years Day to watch City v Swindon (82/83 ish..?)

Mind you, if Roverzzz were playing in the street outside, I'd draw the curtains.

I would catch a train at Bath, get off at Temple Meads and walk to AG and back. Occasionally an "interesting" journey...mind you, I walked for miles in them days. Got a Disabilty Parking Badge now

Pretty easy. I’d suggest paying cash and using the match day car parks at either County Hall or Clarence Road. Avoid the retail complex (you will get a parking ticket) and the multi storey at Riverside by the train station as the queue for the parking meter after a match is ridiculous.

Magic. Ticket booked. No point in wasting a week off work. Another ground to tick off my list

meanwhile...an average of home attendance of 8,600 is considered "respectable"

Potter en route. 

So I read. Thought they'd have gone for a bigger "name" tbh

Seen that ad on Facebook a few times. It's absolutely gross. I presume I saw the ad as I have bought Somerset Cricket T Shirts from Punk Cricket in the past. 

Never visited Carrow Road before and whilst I have next week off, I'm giving it some consideration. What is Car Parking like?

Neal Maupay has gone to Everton. Would Brighton be looking towards Semenyo as a replacement?

Geeze well done for the reaction. Do you have a dashcam? I am considering getting one because these dick heads need to be taken off the road.

Absolutely essential piece of equipment. A Doctor complained I was in the wrong lane once (when they T Boned me). I was dragged down to court in Southampton and her barrister apologised to me forwasting my time....but he was acting under instruction. Still. Day out eh. Never been to court before. I have now. Ridiculously she went off muttering that the road markings were wrong. 

In Nige we trust. I fully understand the fans who hop about calling for his head, but the suggestion box marked "replace by" looks pretty empty 

Are the Gas still coming for us?

weather on the M4 is miserable today. They wont be happy travellers

My best mate is a Gashole. I love him like a brother. 
 

My late mother’s family are all Gasholes, uncles , cousins the lot.

But **** me, while I love them all, I ******* hate that shitty little club. 
 

I’ve never had so many phone calls and texts from the lot of them, than the last couple of weeks.

FTG

Each to their own. I find it tough to "hate" anyone tbh

Why even mention the pricks , your hatred of them can’t be same as mine , I can’t even say their name without spitting after 

I don't hate em. I was at school with a good few and we got on just fine. Lots of Gas where I grew up...just honest banter. Nothing nasty. Met Hollow Head once in Waterstones. He signed a book for me (a prezzy to my late Father). I found him a perfectly decent bloke. Worked at Rovers biggest signing house in Bath once. Perfectly decent bloke.
