    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    I always thought 1k? His contract was signed in the conference but he would have gotten a promotion wage increase. I firmly doubt he's on 2k now, definitely more.

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    Can't see 10k a week for a second. 4 to 6 perhaps. I had heard second highest paid ever, since Rickie Lambert, and 10k would absolutely eclipse that. Seeing as the club made public DC was highest paid manager ever, I would imagine they'd have done the same with Taylor. Have to say, I'm...

    Next season's shirts

    Just announced our change over from Errea to Macron for our kits and training gear / merch, couple of clubs in this league have had/have Macron kits, how have they found them. Quite happy to move on from Errea but no idea if Macron is an improvement. Kits will be released in a week or two apparently

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    The 2 million or so wonga loan has definitely been paid (I believe there is record in companies house), that's not a bad investment for only being in the club five minutes. Don't know if he cleared the rest of the debt as majority was just director loans, so probably was all sorted in the...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    According to our local rag, we're leading the way for Byron Moore, winger from Port Vale. Seven other L1 clubs after him, no idea how good he is though.

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    DC signs his new three year deal to stay at Bristol Rovers! Got to be honest, buzzing my tits off. The thought of him going was making me feel gutted. Don't get me wrong, this is just the start of serious interest in him and I'm sure he'll be moving up the pyramid sooner rather than later, but...

    Pre-season Friendlies

    So far we've got our usual local games, Weston Super Mare, Bath, Mangotsfield, Salisbury, but this year we've got a game away to CE Sabadell, who I think are in the Segunda B or something in Spain. They too play in blue and white quarters so fans have often gone over to watch them play and visa...

    Championship Managerial Changes

    LL wasn't perfect, but he was a good foil for Trollope. Trollope lost him, then Lambert and by then had chosen to get rid of the spine of the side that had gotten us up and replaced with injury prone, highly paid mercenaries who weren't really even good footballers, the only way was down from...

    Championship Managerial Changes

    Really hope it goes well for Trolls. He's a good bloke and a good coach, started off exceptionally for him and he gave us some good times. That being said, I'd be surprised if it did go well. He'll have Slade as his safety blanket and he needs that, he flopped the minute Lennie Lawrence left...

    National League Play offs Thread 2016. Who will win?

    Really glad that Grimsby did it. Grimsby handled themselves brilliantly last year around the final, had a set of fans that would be a credit to the FL and have Disley and Monkhouse. FGR seemed to use the City fan rhetoric of "overtaking Bristol Rovers as a club in the SW" last year, have...

    Playoffs 2016

    Was already hoping Rovers went after Matt this season, that was an outstanding goal.

    Playoffs 2016

    I thought he should have cleared the ball out before or been stronger personally. May I just add, it's an absolute pleasure to watch this without being crazily stressed! This game has the ability to kick off.

    Playoffs 2016

    Well, that's a quick comeback, another shocking mistake from the keeper.

    Playoffs 2016

    Dreadful all round from Plymouth, CB needs to get rid earlier instead of a couple of touches too much and McCormicks positioning was terrible. Tough ask for Plymouth in this game now.

    Rovers vs Daggers

    Crazy game. Could and should have won it comfortably but then when we were leaving 2 defenders back throwing everything at Daggers they could have nicked it themselves. Think we lead the league for most goals scored in the last 15 minutes and that's no suprise, but I had to say after Matty...

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    Hoping that we can make as many friends as the City lads on here clearly did, it'll be tough but if we can stay on our best behaviour you never know.

    The bells and whistles promotion thread

    Well, what a short but very fun stay it's been. Was hoping for play offs at best this season but anything is possible with this squad and DC, what a great manager. Can't believe yesterday, had to do it the hard way in true Rovers fashion but what a way to do it! Commiserations to Stanley, best...

    Welcome to Bristol Rovers and Oxford United

    Thanks for the welcome, both the good and the bad. Still riding high at the moment bar the hangover, was great scenes yesterday in the ground and on Glos Rd. In no illusions that this league is a step up in quality. This summer will be a bit of a revelation, the first under the new regime...

    Rovers vs Daggers

    For the absolute years and years that our fans have called to have him back, I can almost guarantee this to happen.

    Rovers vs Daggers

    Would be stupid to look past Dagenham. Last year we were very professional on the last game with a big win, but didn't get promoted, two seasons ago relegated on the last game. Anything can happen. Only well I'll be fully gutted is if the other two slip up but so do we.
