Kingswood Robin Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think you'll find it was the date Rovers were finally relegated to the bottom division in 2001. I see no other reason to remember this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Were we never in the bottom half of the Third Division South prior to the formation of the Fourth Division? That's the same thing really.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtyeoRed Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think you will find that sometime in the past, the slags finished bottom of D3 South, and had to seek re-election, which is deffo the same. So you could say this is there THIRD visit to the Basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_Ciderhead Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 22 years ago?? I'd suggest that a reasonable percentage of our fan base are either too young to remember or not even born! So any gloating from the blue few means about as much to some of us as a Man-Yoo fan boasting about beating us in the 1909 FA Cup. Stick to this century you sad cases!

Yes indeed, Slag. Looking forward to your move outside of Bristol in a couple of years. You will no longer be known as "Bristol" Rovers, no longer be able to blight our wonderful city. You will then be known as "Frenchay Rovers 2015". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, people will always talk about them. But celebrate them by writing long winded texts and emails? Comes across as sad and desperate, which on reflection I suppose accurately describes your average gashead. Are we free to talk about Paul Buckle and Barcelona football at the Mem? That was quite some talking point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nay nay woodsy,, a carrot cruncher is what us city dwellers refer to those from the countryside. ie: Long Ashton, down Somerset way my foolish red friend.. Others like to call us this because of our accents, but is not what a carrot cruncher is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting how City's new stadium and a very small part of the entire complex being in North Somerset was a massive issue to the travellers of North Bristol, but since your new stadium was announced as being entirely and firmly outside of the City of Bristol boundary you've piped down completely. You lot just can't help making yourselves look completely stupid, can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
