Will we reach 20k posts before the Scum get their new 20k stadium? Could be close...

Did Millwall break the old one when they scored their fourth goal last weekend? Not sure BRFC's old scoreboard was used to coping with such big numbers.

I'm pretty sure it's defunct unless someone else picked up the baton. I actually know the woman who used to run that fanzine in person - she's a very pleasant person incidentally and always got on well with her despite the rivalry. However, she got fed up with the endless shenanigans at Rovers behind the scenes and no longer goes to watch them. She now follows AFC Wimbledon instead I believe.

How are you all celebrating Colin Daniel Day? I'm planning on having someone inflict a devastating setback on me while they're wearing my clothes.

Yes, since 1990 they've been in the wilderness ever since. We effectively relegated the scum three years later, effectively clinched promotion by beating them in 1998, saw them drop into the Basement in 2001, almost saw them drop out of the league altogether over the next two seasons (b***** Rammell), and stayed at least a division ahead of them every step of the way, with their delicious drop into the Conference being the icing on the cake. Would I swap 1990 for us winning 3-0 at Barf and taking the title, only for our respective histories to be reversed over the ensuing quarter century? I should coco. Although do confess a teeny bit of envy at not having achieved the following:- KO from the Worthington Cup before the first round FA Trophy first round runners-up Not having as many Facebook friends as them

To be fair Windass's lap is a large one to honour.

I find it absolutely hilarious that a team in the ninth tier can get an impressive purpose-built facility and the Gas still can't get their stadium act together.

I thought they took about 300,000 to every away game?...

They've tried to clean up their act since their yobs went berserk in response to a visiting side having the temerity to beat their team and ruining their season. Mind you, Millwall have been no angels either...

There's a village a few miles away called "Gastard" so it's tailor-made for them...

The Rent Boys are taking on Melksham Town in pre-season. Actually Melksham have just moved into a brand spanking new ground so it'll be a change for the Gas to see a decent ground for once:- http://www.melkshamtownfc.com/news/melksham-to-entertain-bristol-rovers-in-pre-season-1791299.html

I can't think of a worse venue for you to do that at. Brighton fans will have had quite enough excitement for one day.

I recall fans of another club saying that to us since 2001. In fact "see you next season" should be on the scum's club badge. What a bunch of malicious self-pitying flanges the Gas are.

Just one slightly disappointing note - crowd of only 18,000 - would've expected 20k at least. Although it didn't look like Barnsley brought many down.

Can you imagine going into a local derby tomorrow in their position? That game will be no prisoners. Great for the neutral, hell for them.

I think we'll be okay but just to be safe let's cancel the pitch invasion at Wycombe, yeah?

I went to Barnsley College for two years in the 1990s - I reckon they meant it as a compliment...

You're right. I don't remember that at all. Nice feeling to realise Swine Town have been relegated twice in one day.

Swindon in the basement for the first time since '85-86 I believe. Took them 23 years to fall all the way from the top level to the bottom rung - amateurs...

13 points from a possible 19 I make it - previously we had accrued the same number of points from something like a possible 70.

2-1 down, 3-2 up, ZideReds are staying up; Gashead scum are looking glum, Darrell smears his **** with Pedigree Chum.

Uncanny!

Think I read a book once with those two characters in it. Can't recall the title though, somewhat obscure...

Get in! Particuarly pleasing that Flint gets the golden goal on the day Swindle are relegated. Just need a good song, preferably one that already exists and can be adapted, as a momento of the occasion...

We have to get at least a draw. Depending on other results we may need to go to the team looking to clinch the title needing a positive result, or else find that our destiny is no longer in our hands come the final day against a fellow struggler.
