Massive game tonight as Forest Green Rovers host Bristol Rovers in a play-off semi-final first leg. The FGR website reports problems with restricting tickets to getting the correct supporters in the right end of the ground. Online sales were suspended & fans were required to go to the ground in person with their passport or driving licence AND a utility bill (e.g. a gas bill???!!!)! Park & ride systems in place to prevent traffic chaos on THAT hill!
Come on FGR. Love to see you in the League. Always overachievers but great to watch their exploits. Any town with a smaller population than Nailsworth been in the League before?
Would be even sweeter as Chel-ten-ham have dropped out.

I went to FGR vs. Bristol Rovers at the start of the season and the home end was full of Gasheads. I understand why they'd want to try and prevent this in such a big game.
Personally, I think Rovers will go up but league games versus Bromley and, maybe, Chorley await them if either FGR/Grimsby/Eastleigh go up... and that would be amusing.

I should also add that although I find it funny what happened to Oxford and Rovers, the notion that it could one day happen to Swindon scares the hell out of me (in football terms).
Watching Tranmere drop down only adds to that. Decent one season, back-to-back relegations the next. Strewth.

Think Rovers will go up, too strong for rest of the sides.

Which 'Rovers' are you talking about? Are you closet gasheads?

Have a gashead Parcelforce driver that comes in work daily, he is predicting an Eastleigh promotion.
Thinks they are the stronger of the 4

Thats defelcting tactics then, I know a few Irene fuckers and they are all very arrogant about easily returning to the FL, and I unfortunately feel they are right. |

Surely the easiest way to achieve that was by finishing top of the Conference. Barnet are back up then. Did they move grounds from Underhill in the end?

I'm rooting for Eastleigh.
Regardless of the Ex-Oxford platers in their ranks.
Portsmouth v Eastleigh would be the most unexpected local rivalry... if you go back a few years.

Selfishly, I'd prefer FGR to stay in the Non-League. We have had significant support from the Stroud Valleys over many years, and still do today. If FGR were to make it in to the League and stay there, that could be eroded over time.
I think Rovers (Bristol) will do it.

The've got a new ground called The Hive. One of the England U-19 games was held there a few weeks back. |

 Because I strong feelings about FGR, obviously. |

What a shame, Underhill was brilliant. |
