I was going to go but I've been unwell for a long time and I'm still ill. The doctor doesn't believe me, he said William it was really nothing.

You were lucky. An ex of mine saw the same doctor and ended up in a coma. I know, I know it's serious

I think I might have seen them a few years ago at the Isle of Wight festival. They were decent from what I remember, but I had had a few drinks by that point.

Is he rovers though? 

The thread title says so and the video filmed at the Mem would suggest it.

Fair play to him for admitting he was wrong and for changing his ways.

And big credit to his daughter for getting through to him.

Now she needs to have a word with him over his choice of football team......

I always think they should be holding up a copy of that day`s newspaper - it would make it more authentic.

The 15ers can't afford to be wasting money on newspapers. They need that 50p to sign a 63 year old midfielder.

He's going to be forming a strike partnership with this 22 year old.

He may as well have added "you're lucky to have me here"

As a City fan I agree. We are very very lucky that he's there.

Barton;

“I’ve got my professional life at stake here because if I can’t get Bristol Rovers promoted out of this division, I’m not going to get the top jobs I want, I’m not going to get to work up the food chain for these big clubs, so I’ve got a lot invested.”

 

He's so deluded that he is the perfect manager for them.

"Perpetual misery"

 

It all sums up the 15ers attitudes.

History of violence and recently assaulted his own wife? Club legend!

A run of bad results? He's not good enough, get him out!

They really are s

They are suggesting that Joey might have headed too many footballs in his playing days as an excuse for his behaviour and the nonsense he spouts,

It's probably more to do with the people he's headbutted.....

Barrow helped out by the referee, says Barton. After he'd sent off a Barrow player. He didn't win the second half this week, tbf, or the first half, so he's got to focus on the ref this week.

You can always tell a referee is biased when he sends off a player of the team he wants to win.

Tbf, if we only count a few seconds after the whistle, the gash have never been beaten in their history.

I bow to your superior knowledge on this, I don't have in depth knowledge about our historic attendance figures.  For as long as I've been interested in football, I think you've usually had larger crowds, so it's not something I particularly focus on.

No superior knowledge, just a Google search.

Of course, you were still getting 20,000 at Ashton Gate when you were in the old 4th division. 

The last time you averaged 20k was 1958.

It's a hard question to answer as only you know how much is enough for you to have a decent quality of life after retirement.

Taking it early will reduce the annuity you get though. If it's £7500pa at 65, it'll be a fair bit less than that at 60.

Good research - @Davefevs would be proud of that! However, attendances don’t necessarily equate to standings in the football world - eg Wimbledon, Wigan, Yeovil - etc - all got to dizzy heights that their initial attendances would have deemed unlikely ... it’s the players on the pitch not the number of people in the stands - although I do note you stated your stats are a “flawed way of looking at teams” ...

Yeah I completely agree attendance is not, by itself, a way of measuring success/prestige of a team.

I only did it to counter the "we're massive! Loyal gasheads! Championship level, look at how many of us there are!" rubbish that the 15ers like to spout.

And what's all this about wanting to spend £50,000 on seats at the colony when they can't even fill up £50,000 worth of seats at the Minimal.

You're missing the genius idea of using tents inside stadiums. 

They are going to spend £50k on 50,000 of these:

As they are 2 people tents, they instantly get a capacity of 100k.

I had a conversation last week with a few Sags. I decided to test out the Gas logic theory. I said that I thought that the problem with some Rovers and City supporters (mentioned us gurt Ted's as well as I didn't want them to immediately start a fight) think that the club is bigger than it actually is. I said that realistically City should find it difficult to stay in the Championship and that Rovers are where they should be.

As soon as I mentioned Rovers level being League Two one of them mentioned that they could easily be in the Championship or pushing for the Championship because of their 'fanbase'.

After reading your post, I was interested enough to wonder what the leagues would look like if we based everything on average attendance.

I found the 2019-20 stats ( http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/aveeng.htm ) for the last pre-covid attendances and then sorted them into one big list and then put them into divisions.

Obviously it's a flawed way of judging teams, but (purely on attendance) it shows that we are not crazy to think we should be pushing for the Championship play offs.

Whereas Rovers should be grateful at a mid table League One place. Talk of the Championship for them is insanity.

Of course not!

I don't know if it's any good, but they made a movie based on that a few years ago.
