Bristol Rovers ended in their worst league position of all time in November 2016. They finished 20th in the conference.
Since being relegated to the conference, they enjoyed a 10th place finish followed by 8th the following year, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
Bristol Rovers fans dramatically turned their back on box one at their home fixture against Nuneaton last week (which they lost 2-0). The current owner, Nick Higgs, has publicly stated his wish to sell the club but no deal has been struck. Attendances, although a healthy 7,800 last year, have plummeted to 3,900 this year, showing many fans have had enough.
Manager, Dave Journeyman, said "it's incredibly hard to find the right players at this level, even with the larger budget it's difficult to attract players"
It could have been, it would have been.
It could have been 20 years.
God bless this squad, the manager, and everyone who made it possible. It didn't happen on its own.
All we have to give in return is attendance fees and vocal support.

Or
"After missing out by a point to Accrington Stanley [look where they are now in L2] at the end of last season, Rovers find themselves third from bottom and fighting to stay in a league they only rejoined in 2015. Manager Darrell Clarke has admitted finding a keeper to replace the long-term injured Steve Mildenhall has been difficult, with second choice keeper Will Puddy shipping 10 goals in 5 games..."
Give thanks daily.

The interesting comparison for me is Tranmere as they seem a similar size club, although they finally seem to be getting their act together this season, their third(?) in non league.

Second season but the point is correct. And the conference is now a much closer league with Lincoln, FGR, Tranmere all having had spells at the top and I'd expect Eastleigh with Martin A to put a good run together. In our season it was always about Barnet and us for automatic never anyone else with a chance. From October on the least we were going to get were the play offs. We went from end of October when we lost to FGR until March when we lost to Eastleigh both at home unbeaten and still finished 2nd due to Barnets flying start. I wouldn't like to be there now, very tough league. UTG! |

Conference was horrid, not so much the football but the crowds/atmosphere (apart from Gas were away. Still think we'll be in or around playoffs next April.

Wtf I thought I just woke up from a massive wet dream,had to check my drawer s too see if my Shrewsbury tickets for Saturday were real or I dreamt it Fixed that for you! In a perverse sort of way, I enjoyed the Conference season. It was good to see our squad starting to come together and play decent football. Just one season was okay. NO more though, please. |
