The last laugh will be if Matty Taylor scores the goal that seals our promotion to the Premier League, just as Rovers’ relegation back to the basement in confirmed..!

freezer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 A very good win for Rovers tonight. Credit where credit is due, and a big bonus is that their recalled top striker has found his best form again.

BCFC11 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Imagine my shock, after having a gander around social media, lots of them are suddenly interested in the EFL Trophy as the possibility of getting to Wembley gets closer. Now correct me if I’m wrong but we’re they or weren’t they saying at the start of this competition that how the EFL have ruined it by allowing u21 teams to enter etc (and rightly so) and how they are boycotting by refusing to attend any games in this now worthless competition, and suprisingly now Wembley is within their sights, out of the woodwork they crawl and all of a sudden they become interested and talking of how much they’ll earn from the final Now surely if you were a fan and wanted to show what a farce the EFL have made of this trophy, that you are dead against it, and wanting change then the Final at Wembley, the only game from this competition on TV, would be the best game to boycott, would be a right embarrassment for the EFL at an empty stadium? We all know what the fewers are like, they’ll be out in their droves, saying how much better they are than the shit. Boycott??? If only they’d boycott Wembley like they do for their home fixtures.

Rovers fans are now interested because they need the 100k -150k for being in the final. Sunderland and Pompey are on an upward trajectory. Their fans may feel that they won’t be competing in the EFL Trophy for a very long time after this season (unless their own under 21s end up in it). Rovers on the other hand will probably participate in this competition that has been ruined by the FA for many years to come. I would actually have a great deal of respect for their fans IF they boycotted the final, especially as trips to Wembley are not a yearly occurrence. To do so however would take principles and a backbone. So with that in mind and knowing Gasheads as we do, I expect they’ll not only take 35-40k but will also boast about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now correct me if I’m wrong but we’re they or weren’t they saying at the start of this competition that how the EFL have ruined it by allowing u21 teams to enter etc (and rightly so) and how they are boycotting by refusing to attend any games in this now worthless competition, and suprisingly now Wembley is within their sights, out of the woodwork they crawl and all of a sudden they become interested and talking of how much they’ll earn from the final Now surely if you were a fan and wanted to show what a farce the EFL have made of this trophy, that you are dead against it, and wanting change then the Final at Wembley, the only game from this competition on TV, would be the best game to boycott, would be a right embarrassment for the EFL at an empty stadium? We all know what the fewers are like, they’ll be out in their droves, saying how much better they are than the shit. Boycott??? If only they’d boycott Wembley like they do for their home fixtures. If it was me I’d have the solution. Go to Wembley enjoy the match but take a banner protesting . Job’s a good’un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny isn’t it how more BRISTOLIANS choose to support City and always have done? even before SLs ‘Billions’ and a redeveloped AG. Its almost as if the Gas aren’t anywhere near as special as they think they are.... Oh they’re special alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my everlasting football memories was signing up for the T.A. in Putney and upon leaving grabbed a pint in a pub near Putney Station. It was full of Rovers fans who were playing Fulham in a cup. The volume of fans was impressive even for a Chelsea fan. The Rovers fans were so friendly and vocal. I didn’t even know where Bristol was. I knew Bristol made good music. I checked the news later and Rovers won. Was happy for those fans. Years later I ended up living in Bristol and became a season ticket holder and now love the Gas more than my childhood team. It’s important if Rovers make the final fans travel in numbers and make Rovers fans of the future coz you never know the impression you can make. Altenatively, travelled to watch my mates team Brighton play Bristol City in 1987 and remember the sh** fans being absolute lady gardens. FTG What a lot of bollox!!

They had an open top bus tour remember for finishing 2nd in the Conference. Barnet (who went up as Champions) didn’t bother having one. The reality is that they will probably take 26,000 of which (according to #Gaslogic) will mainly be made up of Ted’s hoping to see the Sags get beat. There will also be 20k locked out who stopped off at Wycombe on the way to smash up some of their manors, like the Harvester and Little Chef. Then they will go on and on about how they took over 40,000 (even though this will be factually incorrect of course), how loyal and true they all are and whilst pulling each other off they’ll be singing songs about the Teds, asking where all the Teds have gone, go on about how they’ll be coming for us again, how much better atmosphere they created than the Teds (but not wish to discuss the pre-match standard violent outbursts by their Neanderthal Tote Enders obviously). My retort would simply be....”Well, as cup competitions go, if you win a trophy 3 times then you used to get to keep it, so technically you’ve just won the Sheed’ead Trophy. Now go and stick it next to the defunct Watney Cup and enjoy League 2” Edited January 23, 2019 by Cheesleysmate 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers fans be warned! Worth a watch if you’ve not seen it! Were Rovers involved in the catering for the event? It has the look and feel of something that they would come up with - boasting quality but serving up shite ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are not involved in the FL trophy anymore (hooray!) I must admit I have not followed the competition too closely in recent years. Of course I know they now have prem youth/reserve teams in it - which is an utter farce! and fair play to all the fans (incl gas) that stay away in protest. From comments here though it seems like Pompey are still in the competition as are the Gas (and Sunderland? plus one other team right?). So is the competition still regional? - Is it the case it will be a Pompey vs Gas regional final over two legs (home and away)? If so I cannot help thinking any thoughts the fewers have over even getting to "Wembly" at this stage are premature at best. I am sure they will all be saying that Oxford beat Pompey at the weekend, but nothing in their respective league form suggests that they will definitely come out on top against Pompey over a two-legged regional final. The comments posted on here from gaschat seem to suggest that a few of the gas fans think they are guaranteed a spot at the final Edited January 23, 2019 by cityal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 1 hour ago, myol'man said: Attendance: 2,016 (199 away). Well done to the blue few for keeping up the boycott Quite agree. The boycott is important. Whilst the JPT or whatever it is called these days was always a bit shit, it was a genuine chance for clubs in the bottom two divisions to get to a cup final. These days it seems to be more about trying to develop youth players from across the globe by giving them exposure to first team football. That said, one of the Fewers I work with is excited about the draw for the next round and hopes they get to the final as he'll go to that. His justification is, "we are going down this season, so a day out at a final would at least be something to look forward to'. And I can kind of understand that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I am not sure about the two legged semi final, I heard the local news up here in the North East where I am working this week and they said that Sunderland are "one game away" from Wembley. I don't know if that is lazy local journalism from them and the Points West people though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Only game in the semi final now, they could draw Sunderland away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
