I think some of them are in for a shock when they lose at somewhere like Welling on a miserable Tuesday evening.

Not wishing any harm on Bristol Rovers - I hope they have a good season - just pretty sure some of their fans are in for a rude awakening.
What has he said that makes him sound like he thinks they will walk it. He made a tongue in cheek remark about his prediction last year being accurate and therefore if he predicts a 20 point win for them next season maybe it will come true. I live in Bristol and havent heard a single Rovers fan claim either a) we're too big to go down or b) we'll go straight back up. Some TUFC fans have such an inferiority complex that they seem to make up things about other clubs to suit their "we're a small club" agenda.

At the start of the season you will recall that I predicted for this season that we would end up within a few points of each other. Well I have proved to be exactly right but certainly didn't think we would both be relegated!! I think I better make a prediction now. We will win the Conference by 20 points and you will be within a few points of us!!! LOL
Good luck- it bloody hurts!!!!

Well fair play to you for your optimism, 20 points phew, not even Luton managed that and they finally finished on 101 points. But you were optimistic after you appointed Buckle lol.

Not knocking you or gloating, (how on earth could I) but I feel it's going to take you probably two seasons one to adjust and one to push and us at least five. Some good fans in the Conference and some not so good grounds but the biggest shock to me last time (and try and remember I said this lol) the standard of refereeing, you think you've seen bad? Trust me you ain't seen nothing yet.

If I wanted anyone to be there with us it was you guys, but I didn't want or Rovers or TQY to be relegated, does any of that make any sense? Rovers like us will be a scalp in the Conference, teams will raise their game, but in a strange way I enjoyed it. With the FA Vase, trophy, division matches and possibly (fingers crossed) play offs we could play one another a lot!

I can't help feeling though Rovers fans have been taken for a ride. Cynical as I am new grounds mean cost cutting, OK perhaps your playing budget needed trimming after Buckles three year contracts here there and everywhere but cost cutting at the expense of club pride? Nah... Rovers fans were perfectly entitled to react today maybe not in the way they did but entitled nevertheless.

Incidentally I haven't heard one Gashead blame TQY today so respect for that.

I find it quite surreal that Bristol Rovers are coming down with us. I like Rovers but it somehow softens the blow, that a bigger. localish club is coming with us and whilst they will be favourites, it may actually be harder for them than they imagine, as they will take Luton's mantle as the big club that everyone wants to beat. However, in Darrell Clarke, I suppose they at least have a manager who knows the leagues at that level and they have the resources to perhaps do what we did, last time and form a Conference all-star team.

I've watched both Rovers and Mansfield in recent times when we played them away and both sides are poor. Can see a draw from that one which would keep you up whatever happened at Plainmoor. As for Torquay, there's no pressure, I think we'll beat Wycombe and go down with a win.

Mansfield have a long history as a Football League club. A recent spell out of it does not alter that fact. They are now back in the Football League and are therefore a League side..

well over the course of the season, it would appear that we haven't been!

I have seen both Bristol Rovers and Mansfield this season and Rovers are nailed on to stay up. Mansfield are not a league side and we have somehow achieved the impossible by finishing below them because we are a better side than they are.

Ditto Sheffield, Nottingham, Stoke(Port Vale) and all the other smaller cities where there might be a case for merger.

How very dare you :lol:

The reason is that Rovers fans wouldn't watch a Bristol United and City fans wouldn't watch a Bristol United.

Please can you beat Wycombe this Saturday and save our backsides.

I have little faith in our team getting a result v Mansfield and will be relying on the Gulls to do the business. I wish you all the best for next season and a swift return to the FL and if you get to play Cambridge I will be joining you in the away end (I will even buy a Torquay strip for the occasion) oh I can offer you free parking 5 min walk from Abbey Stadium. Can you smell the desperation? Please help.
