York away

[Prestwich_Blue]

Couldn't help but chuckle yesterday when I was driving ack from Newcastle and heard te Bristol Rovers had sacked their manager, Mark McGhee, after losing at York and slipping into the league 2 relegation zone.

As it was virtually 14 years to the day since our infamous away-day there, will Bristol Rovers fans look back on yesterday in the same way as we do?

But were you there ? You are simply not allowed to start a thread about York away without stating (or lying about) whether you were there or not. For my part I was. (cue smug grin)

Bristol Rovers are one of the few teams in England that I don't bare a grudge against. Hopefully in 14 years time a Rovers player can score an injury time winner on the Season's Final day to pip Scum and their 84 year old Manager to the Premiership Title.

I also agree with Underpants they wont have 50,000 fans like me who were there. ( another smug grin)

Out of interest, how many people went to the bristol rovers away game that season. 2-2 and Shaun goater got racially abused all day long.

Shittest bunch of inbred fans I have ever had to encounter. Bristol Rovers, that is, not York.

We didn't get too many tickets for that, not much more than 1,000 IIRC, a few seats and that section of paddock down the side. Remember the goat cupping his ear at the Rovers fans after scoring- was it racist abuse or just because he was ex-Bristol City? A good day out despite blowing a 2 goal lead in typical City fashion.
