    The bells and whistles promotion thread

    I think Northampton would be fine, not pulling up any trees but steady. Oxford would need to strengthen same as Rover's, so then it comes down to board backing. Oxford have had good cup runs and should be able to invest enough to stay up. Rover's new board gives me hope we would get the players...

    The bells and whistles promotion thread

    So would I, but watching that negative anti football that Wycombe, Crawley and Stevenage play week in week out would be depressing. It's pretty much how John Ward had us playing and look where we ended up under him! It works well when you have the right players but still terrible to watch. The...

    The bells and whistles promotion thread

    I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground, can't believe how well Rovers have done in the last six. It's been a true team effort defending from front to back, breaking fast, picking up lose balls and covering each other. Atm if you try to just defend against Rovers they will grind you down, if...

    York and Daggers Relegation Thread

    If York and Daggers would be kind enough to be dead and buried by the time they play the Gas, can they please roll over and let us romp to successive Promotions please

    Colin returns to the mem (Rovers v Mansfield)

    Mansfield got what they deserved, didn't even try to attack until 1-0 down, negative, cynical side. If I was a stags fan I would be mighty p*ssed off at going to a playoff rival and not even trying to win.

    That's how most Gasheads felt two seasons ago until Mansfield scored.......

    Bristol Rovers v Hartlepool United

    We were great going forward, could have had eight. Fell asleep a couple of times at the back and brought some undue pressure which better teams would have punished

    York and Daggers Relegation Thread

    For me York and Hartlepool have been far the worst sides I have seen at the Mem this season, York had nothing going at all. Hartlepool no defence, no midfield but strikers with the right service would probably be ok, however would need to score four or five just to win them the game. Worst...

    Your perception of other League 2 teams

    Yeah I checked too, guess the guys I saw outside crying were just upset to lose 5-2 or was the last chance on their eyes as 21 points with 9 to go is pretty much down

    Your perception of other League 2 teams

    Must have been your last game in league 1 then in early 90s possibly 93-94 season assumed we relegated you as lots of tears, though think you won so possibly other results went against you? Was at Twerton Park.

    Once saw an (un)funny sketch where he slated you for about twenty minutes for no good reason, saying you were the only thing that made Charlton look good in London never have forgotten it. Don't think he likes you much..(Disclaimer: I was 13 and round friends house who's Dads extensive comic...

    Accrington Stanley: Milk and always beat us AFC Wimbledon: Love this club, the true fighters against adversity. Never fashionable always plucky, sums up what being a true supporter is. Oh and the beast love or hate him the guy is pure gold. Barnet: League 2/ Conference yo yo club never forgot...

    The Gas and the Jordanians

    Don't think so, most of us are pretty grounded. Besides you can have the richest owners in the league if they won't spend their money makes no difference, just ask Cheltenham. As Gassy said it's the whole family so impossible to work out what they are really worth, but all I want is proper...

    No one knows, but was well known that he wanted his loans paid up, so I'm guessing a few million with a sweetener on top. He wasn't the sort of Man to let it go for a quid. Was once quoted as saying Rovers were worth 35 million in his eyes guessing he meant Turkish lira as surely couldn't have...

    The Gas and the Jordanians

    I for one am not getting carried away, chose Rovers in 1988 when we had a team that played for the badge, had a cousin who took me too Ashton and a family friend took me to Twerton. I chose my team on the welcome I got and the People around me and till this day I don't regret it. Firm believer...

    From what is being said on twitter the present board, will become normal "fans". From what I have seen over the last 30 years can't quite see them on the beer at the Vic before the game...
