    Italy looks closely at infection rates

    For the third day in a row, the infection rate here is slowing.

    Some 54,030 people in Italy are confirmed to have coronavirus – that’s an increase of just over 7% on Monday's figures. It’s the slowest rise since the outbreak began and is now starting to look like a downward trend in new infections.

    This belter had to be reminded that we don't enter until the 3rd round of the F.A. Cup
     
    Then another advises they don't want us to humiliate them !  :laughcont:
     
     
    Second round draw tomorrow 7 pm on BBC2
     

    Anyone but the sh**, wouldn't want them to to humiliate us.

     

    Championship clubs don’t enter until round 3. Can’t see us getting that far!

     

    Edit Great minds, Redraw

    Have a bit of sympathy for them, thier younger fans don't know that there is a round 3.

    Page 20 of today's "Metro"; a Leeds fan applied to become Spurs manager in 1999. His only experience is the game Football Manager.

    Spurs wrote back with a rejection letter. He now has a collection of 68 rejection letters and wants to complete a set of all 92 EFL & Prem clubs.

    Due to his experience, would he get a rejection from the gas?

    No he would not. They gave him the job.

  5. I have been having a look at the bet365 stadium on https://www.footballgroundguide.com. whilst there thought I would see what it had to say about Horfield. I have pasted a couple of quotes below. If you have a spare few minutes it really will give you a laugh.

    What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the Memorial Stadium?
     
    I have to be honest and say the ground is barely Football League standard and light years away from Ashton Gate. The away facilities are terrible. What's with all the tents?
     
    Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:
     
    Bristol is a great city especially around the centre and we wish we could have stayed the weekend as we have done before. But the Rovers ground is abysmal and the area around it doesn't have too much to offer. Luckily we won't be back next season (or any time soon hopefully).

    ???????????? Nearly 1000 pages of ?????.

    I’ve been thinking ? maybe of producing a book for Christmas based upon some absolute gems from this legendary thread.

    Title choice could be interesting....

    ”Tinpot Bristol Rovers - The gift that keeps on giving”

    or

    ”NOT the 6th richest club in England”

    or

    ”BR15FC - From Ragass to Ratshit”

    or

    ”Ted’s In The Away End”

    or

    ”There’s only one Colin Daniel”

    or

    ”Dissolution not Evolution”

    or

    ”Bristol Rovers - The Family Club - Loved By All”

    or

    ”Locked Out”

    or

    ”BR15FC - England’s biggest Campsite”

    or

    ”Watertight Down”

    any more suggestions?

    From camp pirate to camp site.

    Average home attendance of Port Vale is 4,271, and they only look to be going down with their owner, have a mate who's a Port Vale fan and their owner's a lot worse than our's.

    Did I say loyal and true? And probably long-term yes, the Mem is that bad. A shiny new stadium is bound to attract more fans than the tents.

    I'm actually on the coach home from the match, Clarke-Harris scored a screamer. I went on this at halftime and i'm on it now. 

    The post seems to be light-hearted, although I could be wrong but I think you're taking it too literally. So we never talk about you on our forum, but yet we're obsessed? Just seems ridiculously hypocritical. 

    Give an example of a city the size of Bristol  or bigger then, a two-club city, where the club on the lower-end have as big a quality gap as Rovers and City do, and they get a lot more fans than Rovers at games? Excluding London of course. Also couldn't you use the exact same argument for saying your crowds should be bigger than they are? Especially considering your investment and media spotlight? Again, not a dig, a genuine question. And in case you go "yes but our crowds are better than yours," I've never said City aren't miles ahead of Rovers. In fact i've said it repeatedly and yet a lot of the fans in this thread are still trying to paint the picture I think all the things that the most stupid of the Rovers fanbase believe. 

    On the coach, ha ha ha. Belter. Look at the times of your comments. You must have left 20 minutes before the end. Still what more should we expect, gas logic. Or where you one of the 10000 locked out. Wum, belter. Still fair play for the amount of time your prepared to spend giving us a laugh.

    Not at all, I even admitted I was wrong but can you not say Johnson's not had sustained periods of horrific form in the seasons 16/17 and 17/18 and it looks like it's happening again atm

    It's understandable that you haven't gone to Gillingham to support your shambles of a club, but you'd rather be on here instead of concentrating on your own match. Yep, A1 belter.
