When Was The Last Time The Gas Finished Higher Than Us?

As we run a 'counter' in the fanzine, as of today it is 4,453 days since Rovers were above us in the League, which I reckon makes it around just over 12 years. I think it was around Sept 2001.

Amazing how In 13 years the tables and teams can change so much

With one notable exception. We're still bouncing about between the Championship and the Sinkingship.

Fortunately, the Gas seems to be permanently mired in the Receivership.

The Gas last finished above us in the 99/00 season when they bottled it big time on the last day against (already relegated) Cardiff to miss out on the Play Offs.

None of this matters however because they have been given permission to build a blue version of the Keepmoat Stadium and as a result every City fan is incandescent with rage because Rovers will soon be in the Premiership and City will go bust due to Lansdown telling us to **** off!

Sag logic.

Summarising, for every decade since the 1950's City have finished above the Gas more often than they have above us. That even applies to the nightmare 1980's!

Remember the fuss they made in 1990 about finishing above us? We were just delighted to be promoted, because we knew that we'd stay up :)

My favourite stat is their last point earned at our current level was in season 1992/93, so 20 years ago now.

Next time they crack one off over a win against Burton or Dagenham it is good to remind them who we play against......

Love this. So... in the last 50 years, they have finished above us 8 times? That's incredible, especially bearing in mind that we once got relegated from the top division to the bottom consecutively. And they're STILL worse than us.
