I know shocking end to the season , I think Peter Beadle got the blame when visiting his ex team mates after signing for the sh** according to Ollie’s autobiography

And that 3-3 stoke game at the Mem , not surprisingly Gavin Ward got attacked the way he was giving to our already wound up fans , I think I might’ve attacked him myself if it weren’t for the other 2 🤔🙄

Losing ronnie mauge to injury unsettled the team. But easter satday when we beat the 82er's we were immense that day so why werent we like that for the other 9games?

I remember that game we lost 1-0 at turfmoor in the season where we monumentally f@cked it right up , probably the most one sided match I’ve ever seen Rovers play in and how we never won about 7-1 I’ll never know ,I think at one point we had 4 strikers on the pitch as I’m sure Olly brought on Zamora and Ellington for the last 10 minutes to partner Jason Roberts and Cureton trying to salvage a point, Zamora hit the bar from a corner with his first touch and to think we finished outside the playoffs after losing to relegated Caaaadif last game of the season whilst Burnley claimed runners up 🙈 Burnley had a player sent off after about 30 minutes in that 1-0 defeat too. Roberts, Cureton, Ellington, Zamora, Astafjevs and Walters all on the pitch and we still couldn't score. Funny old game. |

Weren’t it Payton who got sent off one of their 2 prolific strikers that season the other being Cooke? |

The plot thickens, they were all in it together , you may have stumbled upon the conspiracy of that season Pirate.🤭 |

You can try your luck on a 50/50 ticket. The prize / attendance ratio must be of the best in the country.
For a £1 ticket, I would guess the winner today will pocket around £1200 in cash.

Just horrible seeing us crumble in those last 10 games! [absolutely heartbreaking, then to finish it off with a loss at ninian park, topped off with bottles of water, being thrown at us!! Oh the memories |

Hi gasheads, I’m working in Bristol for a while so going to watch Rovers v Scunthorpe. I haven’t been to see Rovers since a game against Burnley in the eighties when Davies scored that free kick . Been chatting to people at work and they all recommend Rovers . I’ve explained the slight squeamishness of watching a team called Rovers in blue and white but I’ve been told you lot are solid real footie fans so I’ve picked you . Im looking forward to standing up watching a game too. What’s not to like ? I went to a Plymouth match few months ago and boy are those pasties tasty, what’s Rovers best grub ? Any recommendations re good pubs nearby ? I can’t drink cider though, how can you have a few of them and stay standing? Respect . Hope you enjoy your visit Kev, the only team in Bristol to follow! We go to the Grounded cafe on Gloucester Road, excellent food and Peroni 😀 |

[absolutely heartbreaking, then to finish it off with a loss at ninian park, topped off with bottles of water, being thrown at us!! Oh the memories We were abysmal that day. Even their goal ( if my memory serves me ) was a free header from a corner. Amazing, the ups and downs we`ve had since then though. |
