Just got home after a cracking time in Spain. OK the result was not good and on balance we were lucky to get nil. 600 odd Gasheads in Santa Susanna created a great atmosphere in the town and I think thanks needs to be passed onto John Kayes for arranging it all. Met some old faces when I lived in the UK standing on the terraces at the Mem, Twerton and Eastville. I don't know his name but the number 9 for sabadell ( shortguy with the ponytail for anyone there) looked atidy player and turned our defence in the second half on numerous occasions. All in all it was a great trip and would definately do it again (apart from the 8 hours it took me to drive home!!)

I loved it too, result aside it was a fantastic experience. I'd definitely do the trip again if we arranged it in the future.
Agree about their number 9 but he was against a youth winger covering at right back. Not sure he'd have that much luck week in week out. In the first half we were the better side with the ball without really creating anything but the second half they just battered us. Going down to 10 men didn't help. Any idea what Gaffney's goal was ruled out for? It didn't look offside and the lino didn't appear to flag?..

I've no idea why the goal was disallowed. Mind you I had only just got in and sat down when he put the ball in the net. Thought the security and the police presence was a bit ott. No sign of any trouble, and why should there be,yet the police wanted us gone so the coaches left an hour earlier than planned. But it was a great experience. Loved it.

It was a great week and the atmosphere and joy among the fans on Tuesday was awesome. Yes the football was poor but to be honest the day wasn't about the football it was about being a 'Gashead' and just being there.
Yes John did a superb job at organising the trip and I know it cost him a lot of time, effort and money for us all to enjoy a great time
Cheers to all Gasheads on here, hi to all visitors and f&%£ off to all Sh1theads

Think you're being a bit harsh saying the football was poor as up until half time we looked the better side but it was a poor team DC sent out for the second half w/o Gaffney, Lines/Lawrence & Sincs plus the heat must have been a factor for Rovers players as it was hot enough for me just walking in the sun!!
