  1. 1,591. Not sure how that relates to the post above stating that they had sold 1,800 tickets. Still a record attendance though. I went to a women's game for the first time yesterday and had a thoroughly good time. Rovers put away two good goals very early on and were then defending for most of the rest of the game. It was a novelty to see a Rovers player at Ewood just completely beat the Southampton defence for pace for the first goal - not a sight we have seen for a while with the men's team. The front two were lively and the defence very solid but midfield were mostly run over. Hence Southampton had most of the ball but did very little with it apart from a period in the second half when Alex Brooks pulled off a few excellent saves to keep Rovers in front.
  2. I agree that the rules are not fair. But Forest knew what the rules were from the outset, but they carried on buying players. They bought 44 players in 15 months, including 5 goalkeepers and three players who have never played a minute of league football for Forest. They were told by their own FD in January 23 that they needed to sell in that window but they bought some more. The Johnson transfer was not marginally outside the accounting window - it was two months later.
  3. It's considerably better to do it now than the previous policy, which would have led to deductions for next season. I have no sympathy for Forest. They knew the rules, they were told last January try their own FD that they had to sell in the window but bought some more instead. Then they had to sell Brennan Johnson very quickly in the Summer to meet the rules and failed by a day or so.
  4. Arbitro - I checked this with Fraser Read. It seems to be bad wording rather than any deliberate policy. Any fan can get a free under 12s ticket as long as they are either buying an adult ticket for the game or they are already an adult season ticket holder. Adult includes seniors. I have asked him to clarify it on the website.
  5. I'd prefer not to finish third bottom as well..................
  6. What is absolutely nailed on is that there will be some odd results in the run in - there always are. We need to make sure that we get at least one of them.
  7. Given Rovers Women are at Ewood tomorrow night and it will be the 3rd game in 7 days they couldn’t really play it there I guess.
  8. The meeting is being delayed at the request of the fans, not the club. We wanted a meeting to be after the next court date in India, rather than the day before. Likely to be on 26th now.
  9. Contact Christina Haines, Rovers’ Supporter Liaison Officer. She will be able to sort you out. It may also be possible for your friend to loan a headphone set to get match commentary as well.
  10. It’s not an age thing. My wife’s from Bristol and I have family who are ciderheads. They all refer to Bristol Rovers fans as the gas.
  11. We have done plenty of times, the last one only a few years ago. I’ve seen them play each other at 3 different grounds, Eastville, Twerton Park and the Memorial Stadium and of course at Ewood.
  12. Well he was at the QPR game. He emailed me on the Monday asking for a meeting with me and the chair of the Fans Forum and we had it on Tuesday. He invited us both to the meeting with players on Wednesday but Mark was working and I went away on holiday. I was told at the QPR game that he was off to India the day after but that can’t have happened. He presumably could have gone later in the week though. PS I once flew to San Francisco, slept, interviewed, flew to Lincoln, Nebraska, slept, interviewed, flew to Toronto, slept, interviewed and flew home. My bag stayed in Heathrow and caught up with me at Toronto. On the plane back from Toronto I was knackered and just wanted to sleep. The Rangers team were on the flight going home and I had Ally McCoist and Stuart McCall sat behind me. They spent the whole night trying to get the cabin crew into bed.
  13. Would it not be that he signed a £600pw contract when he joined from Preston and then was rewarded with a rise from Feb 21?
  14. Wot, no yellow cards? Surely shome mistake? a while back I posted that about this time last year I went away for 3 weeks and we won all 5 games we played including the cup game at Leicester. I went away again on Wednesday for a similar period and we win again. I’m away until 2nd March, just back an hour before the Swansea game. If anyone wants to country to a find to keep me away feel free.
  15. He came on early due to the injury to Guehi. On the BBC website, notwithstanding his early mistake, he got the highest individual score from Palace fans, admittedly in a very poor set.
  16. Actually what we need is a run like the one when I went away at a similar time last year. I was away for 3.5 weeks and we won 5 games in a row, 4 in the league and at Leicester in the cup.
  17. Mostly I won’t be on the beach - that will just be the last few days of the trip.
  18. It has been moved by the BBC now. Either way I'll be on the beach in Rio.
  19. Both Rovers and the BBC have it listed at 19.45 on Wednesday 28th?
  20. My figure of 15 within 40 miles, as a direct comparison with Ipswich, had Tranmere, Stockport and Morecambe in. And it should have Bradford City as well. And Huddersfield is only 41 miles.
  21. It started about 2 minutes after I posted! Only about 15 minutes heavy rain although still a steadier lighter rain.
  22. Apart from Colchester Ipswich don't have another football league club within 40 miles. Rovers have 15 clubs within 40 miles, including 5 Premier League clubs. Suffolk has a population of about 760,000.
  23. Here in Preston it rained hard overnight but has done little to nothing since about 9am. The forecast fort Ewood is to rain until about 5 and then probably be much lighter. I can't see a problem with the game going ahead. The real issue these days is when you get very heavy rain immediately before and when a game is on and that doesn't look likely.
