Ronnie Butler always seemed a nice bloke when drinking “off duty” around Glos Rd, but cannot imagine he would be the same as a bouncer! Used to know “Tiny” really well when I lived around the docks and drank in the Avon Packet. Always seemed a very genuine and lovely bloke. IPG

CD Ebro, from North Spain, they play in the same division as Sabadell but no connection with them and Rovers supporters as far as I know, (and not near the coast like Sabadell)

“]Ain't the avon packet sposed to have a bear pit, “
The Packet was my local for 10+ years before I moved away and the “bear pit” is just an access area to the cellar, so a nickname. Don’t think the building is old enough for performing bears!

Well put together video, really got the day out feel which is what a. football match is. Your reaction when We scored shows how being at a live game in a ‘proper’ stadium really gets to you. Good luck with your quest, although you might want to give it up and just follow the very unique Bristol Rovers instead !
Can’t wait for my next trip back for the Gillingham game now.

I always thought West Bromwich was the highest ground in England.

Thanks for posting the goals (for overseas people!). That was a hell of a push for the penalty, as they both ended up falling over. Look where the goalie was stood when the ball was kicked, about a yard off his line, that is the linesman's only job at that time is to check whether the keeper moves forward or not, how could he not see it?
Thanks IPG

The whole point of BristolSport, which they are a part of, is general sport, so that is where it should be. Let's concentrate on Bristol Rovers FOOTBALL Club and our exciting future. (#makingGasheadsSmirk)

Jesus Christ that ball couldn't have been any further in the top corner could it? What a pen! What a pen. What a day! I still watch that on youtube. To be fair to him he travelled all that way, spent all that money, and had a wonderful view of the penalty. Looks like the ball was going straight between his eyes.............oh until it hit the back of the net to send us up,..... and then up again!

We are going up for the last Sabadell league match of the season (May 14th). I think John & Stuart have a trip for that one. Hopefully Rovers are there in July as well.

We go up by train from South Spain and have stayed in the Hostal Sans, Sants-Montjuïc, Barcelona. Costs about £40-50 for a small basic room. It is about 1/2 a mile from Sants Station in Barcelona.
Sants is a main station so easy access for trains to Sabadell and Santa Susanna. Google says it is 15-20 minutes from La Ramblas by train.
Just a word of warning, after the game make sure you know the best station for trains back to Barcelona as we got "delayed" in the Bars outside the ground after the match and had to wait a long time for a train, ............ it was very late!
Sabadell has 3 stations, sorry I cannot remember the nearest to the ground but I am sure someone will remember as the trip gets nearer.
Enjoy the trip! IPG

Agreed. Still totally confident EVERYTHING will be OK as long as Wael and D.C. are that the helm. I would not swap them for anyone. We are still a proper Football club and long may it last.
(We are talking Man Love people)!

Yep overall still happy. Yesterday's saga just shows what a genuinely great long term , loyal manager we have. Was lucky enough to spend about 15 minutes with him on the Sabadell trip and felt he was more than happy to stop and chat with a normal fan when I imagine he had lots of other things to do. Only met Wael once, in the aftermath of the Dagenham match and even at that hectic time he stopped with anyone for a chat or photo. Still feel it's onwards and upwards and that D.C. and his team only want players who genuinely want to be part of the club. The off the pitch things, I am sure, will slowly be put in place as well.
