Bristol Rover Match Thread

Dull game tbf.

Most amusing part of the day was with a bunch of Rovers kids twenty years younger than us attempting to posture menacingly in a 'do u want some' type of way, in the park before the game. Proper funny.

Boateng/Carey were good, reubs had an off day and Cory Harvey can't touch the crossbar

Game was pretty good and enjoyable to watch. We had our chances to win this should have really buried 2-3 clear cut shots at goal and that can be the only real draw back from us today all save the equaliser.
Didnt see from my angle well enough to judge whether or not if it was a clear cut penalty to them at the end all i knew was mccormick took a whack and i was fearing who would go in goal in his place if he had to come off.
I have come to the conclusion that there is no point playing reid when the other team has a strong defence as he either 1) gets marked out the game or 2) he struggles to do anything or he cant be arsed if 1 and 2 are in place.

i'll let others who like to write essays for match reviews do that but what i will is say how feckin stupid are argyle stewards and stadium management are for not accommodating the vast amount of gasheads that bought tickets in the away end by making them stand/sit in the stairways because moving the tarp that sections off the away end and the family zone wasnt seen as a good idea.

Aww shit, mate you should have messaged me and we could have have met up, we would have had a right crack, make sure you shout me next time your down for the game or just in town, well looking forward to meeting up.

Just what you want for a keeper

I'll take the point, missed the chance to go top, unimpressed with the performance, very disjointed, no better than many of last seasons displays, nearly got sucked into a mass brawl afterwards FFS! I'm 56 years old and well past looking for trouble, I'm also too old and too stubborn to run away, just as I thought I was going to have to try to defend myself the Brizzle bheys were distracted by a mob of Muff bheys and we managed to slip away from the unfolding barney. The beer and sunshine definitely trumped the football today IMO.

I saw one Rovers thug who must have been in his early 50s chasing Argyle kids through Central Park and screaming 'come on then you w.....s', what a disgrace to Bristol Rovers Football Club.

It was complete mayhem from what I could see, what with people running all over the place and punches being thrown willy-nilly.. God knows what the families who were sat in CP and enjoying the sunshine thought of it all.

Not at our best today, wouldn't say it was anything like some of last seasons though, this teams got spunk, last seasons didn't

How bad did it kick off after the game. I have heard a few rumours but sounds like the gas were looking for trouble during the game which I saw and some after the final whistle.

It was pwoppa nawty stuff..

I emailed the club when i got home not that im hopefully for a reply but i am very keen to know how there were more bristol rovers fans in the away end than there were seats available and why many of the gas heads had to stand in the alleyways rather than move across to teh empty seats that had tarp over them.

Not that it would have made any difference to the trouble they were looking for but given how bad some of our stewards are it wasnt a clever idea to pen them in a small area like that and expect them to comply.

I dread to think how small the club will make the away end for Exeter City when they are bound to sell out their allocation.

Isn't this all problems that we predicted days before the game???


Ahh well.....the ramblings of a mad man.

I spoke to some gas fans before the game they were alloated 1200 tickets which did sell out quickly. They did ask for more but argyle refused I wonder why. Also there were spare seats but I think it was the usual fans wanting to sit together to create a atmophere or more likely to try and goad the stewards. which they did very well

What

Just had a look on a BRFC forum and they seem rather chuffed about the trouble inside and outside of the ground. One Rovers fan commented -  Also watched the Plymouth fans try and run the gas out of Central Park (behind the stadium ) after the game (better luck next time !!) and then to see the police surrounding the rovers fans and escorting them to the train station with flashing blue lights etc very 1970's - amazing atmosphere UTG!!


If Argyle are still in the top three come January 2016, you can probably see a very large Plymouth mob making the short trip up to Bristol, then it will be fun and games no doubt, as has been witnessed in the past at other venues - most notably at Luton Town in 2002 (18 arrests/one stabbing/two pubs smashed up) and at QPR in 2002 and 2003 (pubs smashed up and arrests of Argyle fans in London and Plymouth).

Argyle do not really need to have bad fan behaviour (again) in a possible promotion season.

there weren't any spare available till a bright spark at the club probably the police ordered the tarp to be moved across to accomodate the overflow. there were more than 1200 in that stand thats for sure.

I said days ago that there would be problems due to not allocating Rovers enough tickets.
Stop being pedantic and patronising.

the tarp was moved before it kicked off which freed up seats but before that there were no spares certainly not enough to accommodate all the extras certainly.

The merits of the family enclosure.

Where are you Nickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ?

Do no one read these threads?

Update

Bristol Rovers can now announce that this weekend's fixture with Plymouth Argyle is now SOLD OUT.

Rovers travel to Home Park on Saturday (19th September) as they attempt to continue their good form away from the Mem.

The club have were allocated a total of 1,590 tickets for the fixture with no tickets being sold on the day.

Everyone attached with the club would like to take this opportunity to thank you Gasheads for your fantastic support on the road again this season

Seen it already.
And where are the 'hooligans' ?
All I see are a load of kids being chaperoned away from the ground by the old bill.
