Bristol Rovers v ATFC Ticket sales have concluded with 97 Alfreton supporters gaining their ticket to travel to the final game of the season

Why does everybody dislike Eastleigh? Bankrolled tinpotters?

Effectively.

97 fans? To a game where you can still survive?

Yep. Pretty poor effort when you think of what rides on the game.

As I said though ever since our chairman hiked the prices up from £12/10 to 18/15 we have been fighting a losing battle.

We never travel well and to be honest saturdays performance wouldnt persuade you to bother!

 

[Shotsfan1993]

What about him?

Whoops! That should have been posted in the Left Back Vote thread, my bad.

You making the trek up to Grimsby tomorrow to see us play their reserves?

Not a chance, would mean taking a day off work, 9 hours in the car and spending a fortune on diesel for a nothing game. Going to stay in, listen to it on the radio and watch the Test match.

See you at Kingfield then.

 

[slaphead]

See you at Kingfield then.

Very possibly. Got a ticket sorted if I decide to go.

 

[Roly]

Christ.

 

[yellow]

You guys just love some final day drama don't you?

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

In the last 5 or so years we had last day survival v port Vale, Rochdale, Burton and Northampton and of course today.
Don't think there is another team who can be so consistently shit. I was relieved to get relegated as we were finally put out of our misery.

To be fair, today is the first time since 2009 that we have gone into a final day game where neither side has anything to play for:

Fair enough, im hoping that Grimsby will roll over for us and we can at least end a poor season on a high!

 

[DarkSithLord]

The day is here! Will be making the trip to Bristol later determined to enjoy the day.

Anything please except doing the impossible, beating Bristol only to find out Welling won anyway. That would be unbearable

 

[ForeverUnited]

Best of luck to the Barnet, Bristol Rovers, Alfreton and Welling fans today. May the best man, or men, win.

 

[Sparrow]

Really nervous about our game against Halifax today. This week has gone really slowly but the day is finally here.

We're on our way.

Why really nervous? I thought the play-offs had gone for your boys now.

It has, no matter what happens today.

 

[Luke Imp]

I thought there was an element of sarcasm in his post to be fair...

 

[yellow]

Nothing against Rovers but I hope you boys stay down so we have at least one game worth getting slightly excited about next campaign.

There best season ever finally finishing in mid table nothingness where everyone said they would.

 

[Sparrow]

You're kidding me, right?


Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

 

[Sparrow]

*Their.

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.

Yeah, I hold my hands up, you got me there. I just thought that there might be some strange importance to the game I didn't know about.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Here we are. Game day, and feeling surprisingly calm. Think I might be unwell.

Whatever happens today, can't see it being plain sailing.

 

[les.gtfc]

Most interesting thing about our game today is that we will be wearing a limited edition one-off shirt to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the launch of Youngs "Chip Shop" range.

Looking forward to this more than our dead rubber of a game today - and not because I'm 'obsessed,' because I want to see how it all unfolds, love a bit of last day drama, and it makes it even more interesting for me knowing that Rovers are involved.

Also - would anyone be able to PM a BT Sport stream link?

Don't have BT Sport unfortunately, and would like to watch the Barnet game later on.

Cheers.

 

[Gassy]

Is the Barnet game on TV as well then?

My god today is going to slowly. Tempted to take a nap just to kill the time

 

[Pliny Harris]

Good luck to Barent and Barrow.
