What crowd do we all reckon? I’m going 6915 Be happy if we break 7k. Anything under 9,000 would be a disappointment to me considering this is the first chance we have had to watch a home league game in nearly 18 months. Think you're in for a shock.

I reckon we’ll have about 6,500 tomorrow which is about average for us in league 2 historically. The fact that weve been absolutely sh**e for 18 months counters the fact that it’s first home game of the season / first game for fans in 18months. Stevenage won’t bring many. If it had been a club who do then 7,500 but they’ll bring a hundred or so I’d imagine if away fans are allowed.

Said in 9 minutes what he could have said in three minutes. I think that’s the first time I’ve watched all of one of his press conferences since his early days here. I’d rather he kept it short and simple to be honest he doesn’t half harp on and it comes across that he’s desperately trying to convince those around him that it’s all going to be fine which is something good managers don’t generally do because it comes across as desperate, panicky and anxious. Two home games coming up thick and fast I really just want to see a Rovers side take the opposition on , attack them and play with confidence and tempo but most of all pick up at least one win from those two games.

The walk up Gloucester Road, the Chippy before the game or pasty at half time, the pre match pint, seeing familiar faces I haven't seen for 18 months, barracking the ref, banter with opposition fans, singing Goodnight Irene. Can't wait. UTG.

The disbelief when we lose yet again, the post match post mortem over a pint of flat cloudy overpriced 'beer', the long trek in the drizzle back to the car, the news that the teds have won, the traffic jams on the way home.
Oh I've missed it so much

In terms of who he was on the phone to regarding players, what do we reckon? Cook (ipswich) = Norwood? Cowley (pompey) = Harrison? Jones (luton) = Hylton? Evans (Gillingham) = Akinde? Any others at those teams? my money would be on hylton
