Who was the gashead on here saying they were catching Scunthorpe?!

I got told the same thing, "Scunthorpe are in free fall". Scunny now 10 points clear of the sags with 6 games remaining.

They really are a bunch of muppets.

Thanks for the link.

As we all know (because they insist on telling us), the Gas are probably the most respected fanbase on the Planet. Everyone loves them....

"twatish contingent"

"They think they are a huge team"

"more mongrels than other clubs"

Interesting

Oh really? Quote from your own forum  "Bunch of tits stood on the steps all game instead of finding their seats. Also, the absolute f*cking pr!ck who started shouting out in the minutes silence ought to be banned for life, the belter" 

Yes really. The bloke who started trying to sing was pissed as a  fart and was walking up from the concourse- he realised after about two seconds a silence was going on. Yes there were a few blokes stood on the steps during the game, which although not allowed, no one died.

Your big day out, with impressive numbers traveling to one of the seasons more attractive venues/fixtures, especially in expectation of a win, given the form book, seems to have all gone a bit wrong!

Your following appear displeased with the teams efforts, or lack of. The home support reviewed your support as bumpkin mongrels, akin to the social inbreeding that is rife in the slums of Burslem and apart from finding a canal side pub, the "big day out" seems to have been a bit of a disaster.

Err, hardly a disaster! We lost a game, and we deserved to lose it. I have seen Rovers lose countless games over the years, and many more important ones than this. I was disappointed with our performance, because we have become quite an entertaining side to watch recently. , but I had forgotten about the result about half an hour after the game. You have had PLENTY of chances to mock our results in the past few years, yer clutching at straws with this one

I don't think so. 

4,000 of you turned up to a see an impressive stadium, in full expectation of improving your position for a play off push, against the divisions whipping boys and by all accounts, came out second best. 

On a weekend where we had no game, that'll do.

... but I thought Dopey said they wouldn't miss Taylor as he always produces 20 goal strikers for the teams he manages? Despite Matty being the only 20 goal a season striker he's ever had.

Rovers took more than 4,000 fans to the Ricoh Arena for the League One match, the vast majority of whom behaved impeccably. However this one incident could undermine what was Rovers' biggest away following for a number of years.

 

Of course it matters. I look forward to the day when both Bristol clubs can travel to away matches and no one causes any trouble.

Miah , this is clearly not true about it being your biggest away following for year s . It's been well documented you have biggest , best and most loyal fan base around and constantly have thousands locked out.

To be fair Miah you got lucky two years running with your promotions although finishing second in the Conference was fair enough but Weren't Grimsby the better team in the final? And shouldn't you of lost your keeper after 10 minutes, without Taylor you certainly wouldn't be where you are now

Still don't like the expectation of our league positions next season.   And what I wouldn't have given for consolidation this season in the Championship.

Good point.

It seems that beating Huddersfield 4-0 gives us an automatic promotion place, or so you would have thought.

The reality of it is, is that we are very much still in a relegation dogfight and are a loss away from being in deep shit, people need to realise that people in glass houses and all that.......

4-0 and suddenly the last 6 months didn't happen, unbelievable really.  I for one will not gloat, be a bit embarrassing if we swap divisions, every picture we put up of the stadium they can come back with a league table.

TBF they can still do that and take the piss now.

Honest question;

Do people actually pay to sit in this "facility"?

Presumably if they need refreshment or toileting I suppose you have to clamber down to the front negotiate the white pole obstacle course, put up your brolly and venture into a neighbour's back garden to put the kettle on [or tin pot on] always remembering to call out to the Ref that you'll be back ten minutes after a read of the paper.

At least you don't have to bring your own white plastic garden chair!
