Toilets

I stopped at Membury services the other day for a quick gypsies kiss on the way to London and they are under a refurb currently so have temporary toilets in the car park. I was actually quite impressed with them as they were cleaner than whats usually on offer there but they are basically huge portacabins with properly plumbed in facilities with a row of 8 urinals plus 3 cubicles. I did think as I was relieving myself that these would be a big upgrade to whats at the mem. I dont know how much they would cost to purchase/hire but it would certainly solve the issues we have regarding toilet facilities. Membury, Membury, etc. So good they named it twice!!

£15 for adults according to website, £12 for seniors. Still to much in my view,much like Saturdays games,which have gone from £22 last season up to £26. Sadly a price I won't pay to stand watching 3rd division football.

Back about 85/86 me and my mate decided to go in the away end with millwall at eastville,we had been drinking cider in the old fox and fancied a laugh or death. Anyway cutting a long story short we got chatting,obviously not saying we were rovers. Thankfully ended one all,not before the local police and been given a kicking and it got a bit lively outside as rovers were under the flyover. Anyway six months or so later they had a game at Ashton which was rather eventful and yes me and my mate were in the away end. Crazy but happy days indeed

Need 3 points, couldn’t give a damn about the rest 🙃 Didn't make people happy when C oughlan was manager. I was happy, we were winning and high in the table,still not sure Barton can get a tune out of this squad,please prove me wrong.

To be fair, I know 2 former season ticket holders at Chelsea who stopped going. They said the atmosphere had been diluted, the fans no longer local and most of the staff and players had little affinity to the club. It wasn’t football as they knew it. My uncle and cousins are current season ticket holders and they recently told me they went out of duty as much as anything! I think the ‘modern game’ is regarded as progress by some, but you can tell from the number of Rovers fans who want to stay at the Mem (total shithole’ and watch Rovers with their mates that there are large numbers who don’t see modern football as progress at all. I'd struggle to continue to support rovers if we got to the 'promised' land and stayed there. I'd still follow the results but I'd end up supporting a lower league local team I reckon eventually I wouldn't lose any sleep worrying about it,probably more chance of nasa finding aliens.

Back in 84 I got the train from Lincoln to Bradford for a 3pm ko,weather pretty decent. Walked on my own up to the ground which by now was in the middle of a blizzard,and unbelievable the game was called off about 14.30. I didn't even meet another rovers fan,but I was approached by this lad about my age,me thinking here we go trouble. But thankfully couldn't have been further from the truth,he took my up the road to a local,staffed by very attractive topless ladies,had a couple of beers and was back in Lincoln by 5pm,I often wonder if that lad died in the Bradford fire the next year,tragic day that.

"Real fans" don't resort to calling other people Bell ends and try and shut down the discussion. "Real fans" will listen to someone else's perspective and answer accordingly. "Real fans" will allow the conversation to flow and add an interesting and thought provoking response. "Real fans" will inject a bit of humour. Never at the expense of the post, only the topic. "Real fans" realise that Bristol Rovers is in all our DNA and don't see themselves as better than others. what is light hearted humour to some is not to others. I have had a drunken gashead trying to pick a fight at an away game as he considered that i was not a " real fan". This despite a 30 year Rovers history and going to most away games. Thirty years is that all😉 After fifty years I'm passed caring anymore,sort of a clapping moaner 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
