Just like Bury, they will end up being sold for £1.

The Mem will end up being turned into a housing estate and the Sags will have to reform on the downs with their 20-30 faithful and true watching from the pavements.....unless it is raining, then they won't be bothered and just stay in the pub getting hammered, reminiscing about their Tote-End days and telling stories of how they were loved all over the country. 

Dribbling over those smash and grab days

How many did we have in Division 4? Not many, but then not (as) many went to football anywhere around the country in the early 80s because football was very unpopular, reviled even, and nothing like the fashionable thing it is today (which trickles down from the PL through the divisions), something they'll all take in to consideration on g4s chat when making their unbiased, unselective comparisons I do not doubt.

Wrexham in the National (non) league in 2019, for example, averaged more than Rovers in Division 3 a couple of times in the 80s. 

Some other average attendances from around that time 1982/83:

Arsenal, 24,000

Chelsea, 12,000 (in 2nd division)

Everton, 20,200

Leeds, 15,900 (2nd div)

Liverpool, 34000

Newcastle, 17000

Man City, 26000

Man Utd, 41,000

Sheff Weds, 16k  (in 2nd).

Cardiff, 7,036 (when they were promoted, from Div 3).

 

So as we can see, if we are inclined to, crowds were considerably smaller everywhere, when we were in Div 4. Everywhere except Bristol Rovers, interestingly, where crowds around 82-83 were just a little bit smaller than they are nowadays. But then their crowds never have been big enough to have been significantly smaller at some other point. 

 

 

You are wasting your time spouting facts like that those cretins aint intrested in shyte like that

They thought they were going to Sunderland, instead they'll be going to Sutton,Stevenage Harrogate, Barrow , Crawley and Salford.  Never mind.

 I can safely predict they will take all their boozers and all their home ends its what they do

As soon as our retained list was announced I knew that Sagheads would be sniffing around it. Same every year, desperately hoping to get one of our cast offs.

Maybe they could try Alan warboys next

Wise words from the Blue Few. In fairness I've been caught with this "moody gear" once or twice - 

Once (in a cheapy type store) I bought some Farenheit looking aftershave, only to look more closely when I got home to realise it was actually called "Fireandheat"! I've also eaten Ken's Fried Chicken, and bought Odidas trainers (silly me)...

But perhaps my most embarrassing faux pas was a couple of years ago at The Memorial Stadium, where I picked up a piece of Bristol Blue inscribed with "Doncaster United" instead of "Doncaster Rovers"! I really should know better by now...!

C.N.U.T.S.

I bought a hugo boss polo shirt in turkey a few years a go put it on a few days after we got home the family were in fits of laughter on closer inspection it read hugo goss not hugo boss

Meanwhile, over at ‘The Colony’.

They have built a permanent structure at their ‘game changer’ of a facility. A little toilet block I think?

They got one of those at cadburyheaths ground
