Right, so this is my first matchday thread (I'm hoping first of many as I'm hoping for a winning streak).
I may also be very early, but I'm keen (unlike the true Goose) to ensure we don't go near the danger zone and instead go towards the promised land as JB eluded to in his pre match interview.
So today we play the mighty Stevenage... The mighty cup killers and the team who gave us one of our greatest strikers in Barry Hayles and as such will hold a neutral to positive place in my football memories, however today and this season isn't the place for sentiment.
LET'S JUST TAKE A MOMENT.... THE FIRST HOME LEAGUE GAME IN GOD KNOWS HOW LONG (doesn't that Sunderland win seem bloody ages ago).. And haven't the boys in blue needed the fans... To sing, to give a push and to belt out GOODNIGHT IRENE..
Hopefully we will have Nicholson & Collins back and we can look to have a decent attempt or two on goal... I'm hoping today will be the day ...
The day for fans
The day for passion
The day for chance
The day for victory
Yes I know, I'm going on a bit, but hey this is my first time and before now I was a matchday Virgin, so shoot me if I want to savour this... And if we win you'll have to put up with me again .
So...
COME ON YOU GASHEADS
COME ON YOU BLUES
MAKE US PROUD!

Good for you !(long as you not ggmi in disguise!)sort of had the same idea as up for cuppa and checked in with a view to stating thread! Gotta try something new to get a win! Good luck and may this be the start of unbeaten run for you and rovers!
Stevenage, unfashionable but prominent in Rovers Recent past, think we ground out a point there under DC, then they did likewise at Accy on that unforgettable last day, so thanks Steve for that and Bazza but that's it, home you go with a 3-1 defeat!
Got my ticket , still a bit reluctant because of you know what but as life long fan feel have to be there! Big game for JB and every one, need to kick start season and get every one onside, all it will take is a 'Arold' type run or two by Thomas and co and the place will rock! So please Rovers get on the front foot and go for it ! up The Goose and Rovers!

Have good memories of Stevenage as i worked for BAe there back in the 80's and was my local team i supported when i could not get back to support the Gas !
I predict a Boring 0-0 draw today
Just looking forward to getting back to watching the Gas Again

A win for me is the only acceptable result here.
Time for the players to show us what they can do. I’m not too fussed on the quality of the performance and a scrappy 1-0 would do it for me.

It's 522 days since our last league win over Sunderland JCH 2 goals 10 March 2020 when there were fans in attendance.
The return of Rovers legend Chris Lines and James Daly today who both could feature in the Stevenage squad.
Will be interesting afternoon once the fans are finally inside the Mem again

It’s 2nd league game in for a new squad today, not expecting too much regardless of the opponent at this point. Going to the Mem to enjoy the first proper match day experience in 18 months - not going to let an early season result spoil that.
Will give Linesy a good reception if he’s there too.

Already awake ready for my two hour drive to Bristol. Let’s hope for a positive performance. And some points on the board My teams Jaak Rodman kilgour Hughes Harries Anderton Anderson Grant Finley Thomas Saunders Collins and Nicholson from the bench. Getting ready for my 2 hours drive too (and now got my tickets so don’t have to factor in queuing at the ticket office). Hoping the M5 behaves! Really think we’ll have more of a threat going forward today if Nicholson, Collins and Rodman are able to play some part. And Goose, keep going with the match day threads even if we lose this one - we won’t judge you until after 10 games! 😉 |

With players coming back from injury and illness, I expect a home win by a couple of clear goals.
If I'm wrong then I start to worry about our promotion chances.
