It's so tight, but Rovers are incredibly spawny (up until 2014 of course ;)) and they could just sneak into the automatic places.

Most Gasheads I know are looking forward to getting Swindon in the final at Wembley as they think it will be a real day for 'the boys' to come out and can't wait for it to 'go off big-time' on the M4. ?

Nice quiet pint in the lamb then if that happens. ?

I'll give some basic arithmetic a go though. If the year is 2022, City have been around for 40 years, is that right?

That’s excellent. Now let’s stretch your abilities a bit and not use multiples of ten. For instance, if the year is 2022, how many consecutive years have Rovers been a league club? ?

What they mean by that Gert is they expect the engine of their Y-reg Escort to give out on the M4 and they can then regale their mates in Fishponds about how they were part of the "100,000 locked out". 

or run out of petrol at chippenham swearing blind they got to wembley and back on a tenner last time

Regardless, we've played our home games in Bristol every one of our years.

Which reminds me, I need to pop to Tesco

If the Slags do get Northampton, I'd be tempted to toddle up to Sixfields and watch.

Cheering for the Cobblers, naturally.

You'll have no chance of getting a ticket, Northampton will have to give Rovers three stands minimum to cater for their massive travelling support.

One of my lowest points ever watching Rovers. I used to take it far too seriously back then and I was fighting back the tears at the end. Weirdly enough the journey home was one of the funniest ever, and we were only talking about it last week- but it is a VERY long story, so you'll have to wait until we are playing you again and I'll tell you over a pre match pint :)

I was working a late shift at Bookers in Emerson Green, and I refused to listen or know the score as they were obviously  "through". But as the shift wore on it was noticeable that the there was no noise from the warehouse floor (unlike the first leg). I thought it was strange, but clocked out slightly early so that I wouldn't be stood in the queue with the few "jubilant" Fewers. Imagine my shock, awe and delight when I got home to find they'd royally ****** it up !

they used to put it up the on "electronic" scoreboard when we conceded ...expect they still do if they got one

In recent times they only go up if we do, so it might be a good omen for it to be the season when they were coming for us, but didn’t.

The best one was when they had the open top bus tour for finishing 2nd in Non League football (Barnet - who were Champions didn’t have one at all by the way), but Rovers had to have one because City had one and hired a red bus for the occasion. ?

Perhaps we should have one for avoiding relegation as we wouldn’t want to be left out either…..we’d be guaranteed a better turn out than the Sags though who would probably make up some excuse like the cricket was on.

If they do make the playoffs their opposition could well be Swindon & Mansfield (and if either of those beat them it would be hilarious) or they could lose to Sutton who were non-league last season.

Hardly the Champions League semi finals is it?

the prelude to that should be a rovers win tomorrow with northampton, port vale and mansfield all losing. Box seat Gas needing a win from their last game to guarantee promotion. Then they're winning by a single goal going into the last minute of added time in their final game, with the northampton, port vale and mansfield scores in their favour for good measure. And then ...

Northampton, in the play offs?  What could possibly go wrong?

 

 

I was chatting to a mate recently & he said after his playing career John Gayle moved to Bristol & he actually played 5 a side with him.

He said they expected him to be far too good for them as an ex pro but in truth he was ******* awful & couldn’t control the ball to save his life.

Did pretty well that night, though.

Where is @Shaun Taylor - is he still celebrating the midweek win over the veggie munchers?  I hear that FGR threw everything at goal in the 2nd half, so a good result.    A fair number of teams still in the mix at the moment - so many possible scenarios, it certainly keeps things interesting.  

I'm still around? We have to win today to take It to the last game at Wallsall next Saturday and hope that other results go for us. We're looking at a near sell out today around 13,000 with  less than 200 Barrow fans.

Have your club resorted to continually reducing the capacity of the venue until they can claim a "sell-out"?
