As Faggoty says how do you measure success?. to me Rovers being well over 100 years old , as Gordon Bennett said ' paying our way', surviving against what at times have been tremendous odds, giving us some unforgettable memories, ( yes, and some not so memorable, but they only serve to enhance the good ones) we have unearthed some brilliant footballers and helped them on there way to greater success, while maintaining our place in the football pyramid, so i reckon that is success, of course if you measure success as being part of the greed and financial gluttony of the top table then we are some way behind and i for one are content to be so! You here yet again today those at the top on about a 1.5 billion rescue package! obscene in these troubled times IMHO, if a few players and officials like Gordon Taylor gave up a weeks wages problem solved, up the Rovers (but not to high eh! ) Really good post this.. Talking about obscene, it's worth noting that Macclesfield received a winding up order owing half a million pounds. So in effect a couple of weeks wages to the highest earners in the Premier league. After fifty years of watching I want us to be successful of course, but I'll take the owner clearing a huge debt and leaving me a team to support at this moment in time..

Jordan Rossiter to Fleetwood is a good signing providing he can get and keep himself fit. Strangely enough of all the names in those lists, Rossiter was the stand out name for me. If he can stay fit then Fleetwood have a seriously good player on their books.

You're the one pushing the brexit argument with insinuations.. Its got nowt to do with Brexit it's an opinion formed on dignity and respect and how you treat people, it's really that simple.. He described the current pandemic as just a "health scare".. No sh**.. My opinion is the bloke is pondlife and that's my opinion.. Couldn't care less about yours.. Congratulations, you have obviously added mind reading skills to your list of powers in that you’ve decided what Bishopston’s thought processs are. I wonder if you’ve also managed to deduce that I was trying to have a bit of banter? Perhaps not. I respect your opinion of Mr Weatherspoon. It’s different to mine. He makes it possible for people to have a few drinks and a meal at a reasonable price. Very often the presence of one of his pubs makes others in the area more competitive. That quite clearly is of benefit to everyone. Especially old sods like me who like a quiet pint and who don’t want to be too far from the toilets. What is it they say.. Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one... Let's agree to disagree on this one my incontinent friend...

I mean, you've just done the same thing again despite me still not mentioning Brexit. My true thoughts are that I don't feel comfortable to put money into someone's pocket who thinks it's acceptable to put people out of a job during a lockdown. Again, nothing to do with Brexit. Oh for heaven’s sake. I haven’t at any point put words into your mouth. I have never tried to suggest what you’re saying, I have merely asked a question. You don’t like Mr Weatherspoon because he didn’t furlough his staff. You haven’t mentioned Brexit. You also haven’t answered my question. That’s your prerogative and I really don’t care. Its a good job you’re not a fish. You're the one pushing the brexit argument with insinuations.. Its got nowt to do with Brexit it's an opinion formed on dignity and respect and how you treat people, it's really that simple.. He described the current pandemic as just a "health scare".. No sh**..

Chippenham.Sixth tier.Their manager is called Rudge.Any relation to our John Rudge? Do we get any sort of fee for him? Lots of comings and goings.Surprised he hasn't gone to Mansfield!! Or Walsall come to that... Wish him well and he makes a name for himself...

So just playing devil's advocate.. You've heard from the Cov fans on here who all seem to say the one downside to ZW"s game is his lack or willingness to compete for 50/50 balls.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing without seeing him, but those opinions were formed after watching him for most of last season.
That puts Ogogo ahead of Upson in the team if we are to play to each others strengths..

If I could image host I'd be showing my most prized possession.. The final matchday programme of the 85/86 season.. 26th April 1986.. Our last league game at Eastville v Chesterfield.. This one.... While I've got them out here's the rest of the season.... I really love the 85/86 seasons programmes. Someone actually got creative and used different styles and colours, before we went back to doing the same cover for every match again.... So cool they freeze my eyes looking at them..... That's the one Greg.. Just looking at it brings back boyhood memories of my late dad and me on the Tote End.. Sends shivers down the spine.. Eastville was unique and something very very special... Is imaging hosting that easy mate?.. I'm light years behind sadly...

I've read today that Tom Lockyer is available on a free transfer from Charlton..
A touch of irony in that me thinks...

Could well see them in L1 next season, EFL just announced a 12 point deduction Certainly seems likely now. Really wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Hull, Huddersfield and Stoke would have had strong words in the EFL's ear about this, but I'm not sure I agree with it. One of the administrators has been quoted as saying "Obviously the suspension of the Championship season due to Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the recent fortunes of the club.". It's for this reason that applying the standard 12 point deduction is surely harsh? You're spot on given the impact of the pandemic on football it's very harsh when potentially more will follow Wigan into administration. I read that if they aren't in the relegation places at the end of the season then the 12 point deduction takes place there and then. If they finish in the relegation positions then the 12 point deduction comes into effect in the 2020/21 season.. It just seems like a non common sense approach by the EFL to me..
