So the north most area is south of the river and the south most area is north of the river. Got it!

On their forum a Gas fan has pointed out to a Plymouth fan that they are no longer sold out. The Plymouth fan has explained they were but because Rovers haven't sold their allocation the blocks have gone on home sale.?

That can't be true, they sell out everywhere they go, and it's only about 90 minutes down the road. Bet the M5 is packed with blue and white scarves flying out from the windows......

Stuck it on the radio whilst cooking. They’re being absolutely battered. Barton raging over a ‘penalty’, shock, that RB have said was definitely not a pen

Absolute shocking dive was nowhere near him. No doubt Barton will also say the Muff players got the Sag sent off for his 2nd yellow when it’s the most blatant booking you’ll ever see.

I doubt half of them even got there - the A38`s been closed southbound at Haldon all day due to a lorry fire.

Happy days.

Most probably stopped at Bridgewater services and stayed because they felt at home in that Sh*thole

I thought it was only the likes of Morecambe, Burton, Fleetwood, Shrewsbury, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby and sides like that who played anti-football?

They have "Shut Up Shop" haven't they @Davefevs? :)

1 down, ten men, taken their best goal scorers off. 
 

Let the floodgates open. 

Just had a look at their match day thread before going back to Leicester v Leeds, they must have taken billions away, as they have about 4 people posting on it.

My favourite is the one who speculates that the bloke who got sent off isn't as good as Paul Scholes.

You know, some league one player who isn't as good as a player Zidane once said was the best midfielder he'd played against.

Who would have thought that.

 

Oooh, Plymouth score again.

Looks like a close game...

“Yeah, but the way Plymouth play football…I’m not being funny but you don’t want to get promoted playing that way because when you go up to the championship you’ll get battered…battered…no, not like my wife, in the football sense. I’m confident that here we’re playing the right way - with no possession and a team of loan players who won’t be here next season…and that will lead us to being at the top end of the table next season. I’d rather not win the way they won today”

Etc. Etc.

I had to root for them tonight.       Bristol Rovers might be a poor team, they may be largely ineffective or not up to much, but I had to hope they win this evening given the circumstances.        All right they let me down so to speak and, as much as Plymouth are a nuisance and we try to get past them and have that first finishing position, you have to allow a certain admiration in the way they get results and keep at it.   

It's very likely now we'll be back in the Championship next season.     All we need is at least one win against Exeter and Fleetwood and we've done it.    Even drawing both games should be enough.    Sheffield Wednesday have a huge load of pressure on themselves to get second place now.

Some run you are on in fairness.

Imagine hearing that your manager wants 12 or 13 new players in, you'd be looking elsewhere already not knowing if you are one of the 3/4 he's going to keep

I’ll keep saying it, they’re in trouble. No football club can run like they way they’re being run. And they’ll probably need to do it without Collins next season too. Wael on RB last week saying there is basically no point in having an academy…. With a catchment area this big I mean, wtf. How can you be that clueless. 
 

They went all eggs in the Barton basket as quick as a flash, and once it starts going wrong it’ll be painful for them. Just hope and pray they can get good loans, or players on one year deals that are primarily from Fleetwood or that area. 
 

He’s even mentioned the new ground tonight, and that the club are basically too focused on that & he needs a whole new squad. 13 new players needed after signing 16 in the last 2 windows. He spent all summer chasing McCormick, spent a decent chunk (for them) on him and he’s been totally banished from the squad. They are blinkered.

Is me or is the footprint not that big.  Surely the developer wants mixed use/residential? When you look at the AG footprint it wouldn’t leave space for much else.   

Maybe the reason they have taken the £450k option is to see if they can do deals with some of the other units around that area. As it stands it's going to be a strange development if it is surrounded by all those industrial and business units.

They have GOT to allocate a certain % and you can bet your life it's more than 400............no it's just they couldn't be arsed     (it's what they do ) !

Wash your mouth out SB, never EVER root for them, regardless.

Seek medical help and see you next season. ?
