    You'd think sags would be good at sums, what with the 24 digits and all.

    Perhaps that's it. They work on a duodecimal system and multiply everything by a factor of 1.2.

    Therefore yesterday's attendance  becomes 11,256 after applying the "Gas factor" which is 92% of capacity, not far off the 95% claimed.

    I'd say it was the period between 1986-1991 that the Sags had their most purple patch and they only picked up results against us by trying to break our players legs (Alexander v Smith) and spending 90 minutes hoofing it out of their box and ending up with luck like you wouldn't believe. 1987 Gary Smart for me was the most unbelievable one of them all. 

     

    Ah, the "Alexander". I remember when it was shorthand in the pub for "One swift half and I'm off"

  3. It shows up the difference in perspective of the two sets of fans.

    From the quote above - Potentially if Rovers were top four prem year on year they would get 50,000 crowds

    Meanwhile there is a thread on here questioning if AG is big enough for the prem at 27000 and the consensus is that it probably is for most games! No one has mentioned top four!

    Has someone perhaps been getting the stuff cheap off a bloke down the pub after he salvaged it from a skip round the back of Tesco`s. I doubt it as no professionally run organisation would do that surely.

    I would have thought selling out of date foodstuffs would be something Trading Standards might be interested in though.

    Had a little chuckle myself walking to the game tonight. Had R. Bristol on and the Gas' game was coming to an end when the commentator says "Well, the roof really came off the stadium when that 2nd goal went in"

    .

     A sharp gust of wind over the favela at the same time they scored? What are the chances?

    After Darrell the Dog botherer’s “revelations” this week, you’d expect protests to be starting up at the Mem, against the board, before they lose their soul mate. 

    What would be a fitting item for them to rain down on to the pitch in protest at the way they club is being suffocated in front of their eyes..? 

    We’ve seen a chicken on the pitch at Blackburn. Pitch protests and games disrupted at Blackpool and Rovers. Some club recently showered the pitch in ping pong balls. 

    What could Rovers fans use as a fitting statement at the Mem in coming weeks...?!

    Chemical toilets?

    I can't actually decide which has brightened my days more!

    Santa's grotto.

    UWE cancellation.

    Sainsburys watertight contract. 

    Championship ready sprinklers that break. 

    Nope can't decide!

    My particular favourite was the Fresher's fair professional multimedia display complete with coloured in whiteboard, poster of Matty Taylor and videos of them losing.

  8. 45000+ potential fans!! Really?

    This article shows the average home fan attendances of the Premier League last season.

    https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/586985/Premier-League-attendances-home-average-2016-17-season-sportgalleries#

    To save you reading it, 45k+ would place them 6th behind Liverpool, Man City, West Ham, Arsenal and Man Utd and ahead of Sunderland, Chelsea and Everton!
    Leicester were defending Champions, a one team city and could only muster a paltry 32k
