BS4 on Tour... Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 2 hours ago, JamesBCFC said: Amazed that someone as persnickety as yourself would be so wrong BS4. Bristol Rovers joined the football league in 1920. They rejoined the football league in 2015. Yes, so I was right, they have only been a league club for the last four and a half years ... I wasn’t talking about their whole history - at this point in time they have been a league club for four and a half years - it’s the same as when people say we’ve been in the championship for four and a half seasons now ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big round of applause for them....and then there’s us, 120 uninterrupted years as a League club. In Football League terms Rovers are just a bunch of ‘Johnny come lately’ chancers, punching way above their own weight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised your mob didn't present a bloody trophy. Luckily the old bill kept our lot penned in behind your main stand as some were not at all happy! I'm all for west country sides doing well apart from the obvious but I, for one, was behind PNE in the PO final, purely because of the Swindon reaction to that result. As for Toffolo, cheating bastard! What was it Flinty said? 'That was the day we knew we would be Champions'?
