Fleetwood similar to Rovers, apart from bigger fanbase, bigger catchment area etc etc. Deluded much?
They were only promoted into the league for the first time in 2012 and were playing in the North West Counties League as recently as 04/05.

I get our history but history didn't stop us getting relegated from the football league in 2014 and I'm a strong believer that you're only as good and worthy as your league position. So I guess we aren't far off them in that respect really.

History and Fanbase size maybe but if you look at infrastructure we are miles behind.

I'd still have the Mem rather than their 5,327 capacity stadium, even with the nice new stand they built. The training ground they built is very good though, hopefully one day we will have something similar.

Literally no similarities what so ever apart from that we're in the same division!

Literally no similarities what so ever apart from that we're in the same division! Which is what Uwe basically said? He said: “They are a similar club to us with one big difference. “They have a stadium with 10,000 sold out nearly every game; a very intimidating situation especially when we played last year under floodlights." Uwe's clearly throwing down the gauntlet, are we good enough to pick it up and throw it back in his face?

The she teds love him and he was throwing himself at Lansdown like an Olympic wet nurse at the end of last season, he's just continuing to ingratiate himself with our six fingered neighbours in the hope of getting a job when LLJ inevitably gets the boot.

Why is he bringing Bath into this ? Can't think of any other big rugby team near Bristol.

Not a man I like but seems to do a good job for Fleetwood. Tough game but I think we will win and then see the more unpleasant side of the man that we are more used to seeing and hearing.

He's just trying to talk us up so that he will have an excuse if they don't win.

They've got a much nicer bar than ours and the queuing system works as well
I think we will halt their unbeaten start tomorrow and send them north to think again

Clarke & Rosler to have a punch up on the touch line - 2/1
