The reason they are in the division is because they effectively gambled on on promotion to the PL. For example, the financial pressures are such that Derby felt it necessary to effectively cheat in their efforts to reach the PL. It is unfair for clubs to overspend, get relegated, get brought out by new owners, and then get promoted again before overspending again with the aim of making the PL. It makes a mockery of L1. You were almost subject to a transfer embargo last season because of your inability to live within your means, so I wouldn't laugh too soon. The question wasn’t about us though was it . What’s wrong with you lot ffs Oh , we were not near a transfer embargo either . what was it Danny Baker said about you lot . Oh yeah . Bristol Rovers fans are pathological liars .

Pretty crass and small minded on your part. Your club does a pretty admirable thing in support of one of your players who has been diagnosed with cancer which has made the National Media. Its had a lot of support on here and all you can do is use it to score petty points. Cancer has no colours, it affects everyone.

"To be fair" you are in 9th Place in league one having played more games than all of those around you.

According to https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/bristol-rovers/attendances this is something you have not had since 2016, when, being generous, you got 11750 for millwall at home. For an actual 12K attendance you need to go back to West Brom in March 2008! Notice also that depsite you trying to cast shade on us, no poster from the red side suggested we were bigger than the three clubs at the top of the attendance list that was posted - those clubs have been in the premier league and are well supported and often attracts gates in excess of ours BUT we certainly have a far stronger case for calling them "our peers" having spent far longer in the same division as these clubs/the championship in the last 2 decades than the gas. Peopl;e ask why this thread exists - this exactly why - your fanbase is filled with cretinous needy morons who desperately cling to any sliver of hope that they are in soime way as good or better than us.

What is this lie? When was this? This is absolutely not true. You clearly have very little understanding of the finances of Championship teams. This is understandable given your club has never been subject to the FFP rules that we abide by, and that your club is so small that you only file accounts for a small company with Companies House.
