I'm rapidly losing interest in this game. For me it's 170 miles to the Ricoh or 164 miles to the Mem. I think I'll fit in an extra home game, book the ticket on-line, and give my money to Rovers. Hmmm. Newhaven? Eastbourne? Close .

This hasn't been handled well by either club. We've never been told that this is all-ticket for Rover's fans and there's no mention of the Coventry game at all on the 'Latest ticket news' section of our website. We were told that tickets for Group 2 would be on sale today, but also told that all the tickets had been sold to Group 1 buyers and they woukd ask for more tickets on Monday. So are we supposed to phone up today to try and buy tickets that don't exist?

I guess we are limited in what we can do by having to provide space for away fans. Perhaps every home game should be all-ticket for away fans, then we can adjust the space provided as necessary.

Don't know I'm afraid. All parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles now gone. I have a brother who still lives in Eastville and has all the family paperwork which he is going through, but I don't hold out much hope.

The Newcastle programme made me chuckle - "Bristol Rovers; blue and white quarters, white knickers".
In the 1950s, the Rover's trainer was my Grandmother's lodger on St Mark's Road. She had a haberdashery shop just under the railway bridge next to the scrapyard. I've never been able to find out his name and there's no-one left now who might have known.
We lived on Robertson Road. One of my annual highlights as a kid was walking down to the fireworks at Eastville Stadium. We called it "going to the ooh aahs". It was the only time of the year that I was allowed to carry a torch.
Cloth caps for the crowd should be mandatory. I was wearing mine at Oxford, but then I'm old enough not to look a total prat.

Can't see us catching Millwall but Scunthorpe are currently in freefall. Over three games soon they've got Bradford, Millwall and Bolton. On the down side though, their last three games of the season are against the current bottom three.

I was thinking the same thing. They are selling them - Priority Group 1, Group 2, General, as if it is all-ticket with limited availability. Seems odd for a 32,000 seat stadium with an average attendance of 9,000.

This is why we can't afford to pick up stupid yellow cards for time wasting - like the two at Oxford on Saturday.

Pity about the two cheap yellow cards for time wasting, though couldn't argue with the ref's decision.

Just use **1 1AA for whichever city you want. It's always the main RM sorting office.

I was a bit confused when their No33 who had already been yellow carded, clattered Sinclair but the ref didn't give a foul. Then at the next break in play he lectured the No33. How can he give him a bollocking but not award a free kick?

The last game of the season v Millwall could be vital. I've got my ticket safely tucked away. Likely to be more vital for Millwall True, but even if we are out of the running we could still spoil Millwall's season.

77/78 season, Spurs v Rovers. Got there after kick-off, no ticket, only turnstile still open was for 'The Shelf'. I had to stand amongst thousands of Spurs fans while we got stuffed 9-0. Trouble was, to blend in I had to cheer every goal. Then hitch-hiked 50 miles back to barracks, where the game was on Match of the Day in the NAAFI bar. There was only a teeny weeny bit of water taking.

Hopefully, like last year we'll be in blue & white quarters.

The only ads I get are right at the bottom so are easy to ignore. I'm using Chrome on a tablet running on Android.

Anyone know if there is an away supporters bar at Oxford? Their website only mentions food and there doesn't appear to be any pubs nearby.

Lift offered from Sussex:
0900 Uckfield - Crawley - Oxford
Straight back after game.

"You're no f**king saviour".
Joined us when we were in the Conference and without him we'd probably still be there. I don't care that he now plays for City, if he ever plays at the Mem I'll stand and applaud him.
