0.92 points per game so far, with 5 games to go, that gives them say another 4/5 points and I can’t see 43 being enough, especially if any of the other teams get something from the games in hand. They also don’t have a good goal difference which is worth a point. So 5 points, 5 draws or 1 win and 2 draws still seems pretty tough with the fixtures they have left. I can see them getting 1 win against maybe Crewe or MK Dons, but more than 2 wins I just can’t see it, especially with their lack of goals and terrible defence, but not counting any chickens, a lot of bad teams down there!

I’ve played in the same band (now called Levi Valentino) since 1997, and I think it’s probably a rich mans game now playing in bands, the equipments expensive, the practicing is expensive, you get next to no money from gigs (in comparison to the time you spend getting there, setting up, playing, packing up) you get no money from streaming. If you were genuinely from a poor working class background, the last thing you’d do (or be able to do) is form a band, much better going solo or doing more electronic stuff

True! They have 34 points from 38 games so 0.89 ppg so 7 more points if they keep that form going, so will end with 41. I think even increasing that ppg to 1 to end on 46 points would mean 12 points from final 8 so 4 wins, never happening with the team they have, and even if it did would 46 be enough, not sure if would although some equally terrible teams down there

My fave thing on Gaschat is if they are talking about a keeper they say ‘Goalie’, don’t know why but it amuses me greatly

Yes when that manager comes back and takes the club that he previously got relegated to non league back down to league 2 thus losing his “legend” status!!

Any 4 from 7 it looks like to me, will go down to the wire I think

You could get Pep or Jose in at Rovers and they wouldn’t do anything, they don’t have any strikers end of story! If Holloway goes in and takes them down, that would be something!

Your time machine is ready to take you back to the 70’s

That stand reminds me of the meat machine lorry that drives around selling sausages!

And I thought Ben Garner was brilliant!

The problem is Swindon, Northampton and Wigan are all terrible as well. They are defo in trouble though Rovers, and always were after losing JCH and not replacing him adequately. I don’t know if those other teams around them have strengthened or not but will go to the wire I think. It doesn’t matter who the manager is if the players are not good enough

Was that when people were sat on the steps of the dolman? I remember it being total carnage, and the club were lucky nothing bad happened to be fair

Funny how they never talk of how many get locked out at home games! I mean even if you took it as fact that they have amazing away support, and take 40k to Wembley etc etc surely that just highlights how incredibly poor the home support is, so why boast about it?

Classic Rovers on Twitter today, I wonder how the ‘300 more were locked out’ figure was arrived at? Did they do a head count? Did they multiply the actual number by 10, then add 100, then round up to the nearest 100?

Wash your mouth out

Bristol will probs be in Tier 3 anyway so unfortunately won’t be applicable for our games to start with anyway

The same Sir Alex who had won the Cup Winners cup with Aberdeen before taking on the Man Utd role, ridiculous comparison!

They are easily impressed on Gaschat, BG was one of their worst ever managers which is saying something in itself, and not slagging them off when he leaves is ‘classy’, nobody slags their last club off when getting sacked, especially with his record

I think they will carry on for now as measures now in place and have been for a while, however the longer this goes on m, and therefore the further away from fans returning, it’s going to kill off so many clubs in the pyramid I fear

The thing is in the 70’s there were no games on Tv in the pub to watch or anything like that, so if you wanted to watch football and your team was not playing then it was the logical thing to do, from speaking to my Dad about it He was always a City fan but also a fan of football
