Shrewsbury, fucking get in.

Great start!

4:50
Shot by Sammy Igoe (Bristol Rovers) drilled right-footed from right channel (25 yards), save (caught) by Chris MacKenzie (Shrewsbury).

4:39
Cross by Sammy Igoe (Bristol Rovers), clearance by Richard Hope (Shrewsbury).


He needs to be sent off, surprised he started.

amazing start

fuckers! 1-1

rovers will win

Early days, come on Shrews.

Anyone know what radio station this is on... a link to where I can listen? Please.

24 mins: Igoe causes some momentary panic on the right, with MacKenzie out of his goal, but Hope does well to shepherd him away from goal and the attack breaks down.

Come on ref a red card isn't too much to ask.

If you've got Swindon World you can listen on line.

Rovers 2.1

Rubbish

crap

Yeah I'm listening on there but the quality isn't good for a hangover.

This groundshare had better not happens now it looks like we'll be in the same league

:shake:

It's 2.1!

They've not even played a whole half yet!



But yeah, they'll probably win  :(  :(

Not over yet, Igoe sending off coming up.

They don't concede many though so not looking good  :(

You had some sort of dream or something?

brilliant finish for rovers second

Mystic Crozzer :soapy tit wank:

For some reason Igoe irritates me.  If he is anything like he was at Swindon, he'll find a way of doing something stupid.

Bristol Rovers in general irritate me

Were not the bloody Rovers appreciation society you know  :x

Luggy, get on the phone.

New Zealand were severely depleted by withdrawals and had just Fulham reserve Chris James and recent Conference player Shane Smeltz from Halifax as players involved in the British set-up.

Wales 0-1 New Zealand: S Smeltz (2)
Wales 1-2 New Zealand: S Smeltz (24)

igoe looks like frankensteins little brother to me.

This game is on sky sports news

well at least we have a local derby next season

Igoe 3-1

Yup - Rovers, Yeovil (hopefully) and Cheltenham are all short trips.

I will think of it has 24 home games and 22 away games  :? .

Cheltenhams closer than Bristol aint it?

a season cant be complete without a derby against one of the bristol teams :)

Crap, at least it takes the shine off of Shitty's promotion.

Unhappy days! Lets hope the Rovers fans are in too good of spirits to stop off on the way home :|

Thank you young Sammy. I had that score at 18-1 with a £5 bet.

I suppose if Rovers are gonna win you may as well make some money out of the occasion

Let's look at it this way, the Dongs didn't get to Wembley, didn't get a big pay day, didn't get promotion, and Marti Allen isn't managing in League I, not for a season at least.  The downside is that Rovers got promotion on a run of ten wins.  Can Trollope break up that side? Possibly, our "away" game at Rovers will be policed by Swindon's Old Bill at the CG.

I'd take Rovers up with us over Franchise any day of the week.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the groundshare now! I would hate to be stuck in the SB watching us against Rovers, although tbh I don't expect i would be able to get a ticket for it!

I suppose the good news is the manager will find it hard to change the team too much considering recent form, meaning he may be overconfident/understrength going into next season? Just a thought

Think when I went to reserves at Cheltenham this season it was 44 miles from the ground to my door in Highworth, so it'd be about 42-43 to SN1. Rovers would be about 48-50 I guess?

well if the groundshare goes ahead im sure the fixture "away" to them will be before christmas on purpose as they wont be playing here till then

Don't worry about the groundshare. Even our useless board will have the sense to have an agreement in place that see's us have at least half TCG when we are 'away' to them. I still don't see Rover's getting higher gates than us next season because its a huge expense for there fans for every home game. Would like to think we could have Stratton Bank and The Nationwide Stand when we are 'away'.

i doubt that somehow. id expect we'd get the Town End and the Bank and that will be it!

oh, well that's alright then.

So when do we hear about this groundshare bollocks?

The fixtures come out in 3 weeks.

i think they will be coming here

so do I

They r thugs, they break our seats, and all we get is a bit of money. its pointless really, the amount they cost im damages to the town and ground will be loads more than wot we get form it. nt my decision tho...
