In honour of Bristol Rovers Football Club. Not quite RIP, but as good as. A part of me is actually quite sad.
Wonder if they're going to push ahead with that state-of-the-art 20,000 capacity stadium?

Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country Sometimes I live in town Sometimes I have a great notion To jump into the river and drown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Quit ramblin' and quit gamblin' Quit stayin' out late at night Stay home with your wife and family Sit down by the fireside bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
I asked your mother for you She told me you was too young I wished to God I'd never seen your face I's sorry you ever was born
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
I love Irene, God knows I do I'll love her till the seas run dry And if Irene turns her back on me I'd take morphine and die
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
You cause me to weep, you cause me to mourn You cause me to leave my home But the very last words I heard her say Was "Please sing me one more song"
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams

They might need to reduce the capacity a bit. 2000 should do it.
I'm disappointed...not to have seen a picture of a fully grown Rovers fan balling his eyes out.

I was chatting to a Rovers fan on the train to Swindon and he was telling me about their new stadium. I was shocked when he said it was 25k capacity!

there was a good old sing song in the CG hotel after the game - only heard one song though!! Instead of "I'll see you in my dreams" they substituted Salisbury for dreams!!

I know it's not very grown up to dance on someone's grave...especially when there are a lot of decent Rovers fans out there. But to the pack of feral chavs - mostly armed with baseball bats - that invaded the beer garden we were drinking in at the Inn on the Green in Bristol before our game there at the end of the 2006/07 promotion season...how are you feeling now?
Most probably all now crying in to your super strength cider. That was the most barbaric act of violence I've witnessed in nearly 25 years of watching football. I'll never forget it. This is for you.

Do they have to give it back now?

This. And all the chavvy tossers who threw seats a season or so later in the Arkells. Hope they're choking on their cheap cider tonight, and enjoy's their local derby to Forest Green next season.

Yes... On a personal note I've never seen either of the Bristol clubs as rivals, but for the Inn on the Green incident there's much schadenfreude to be had...
