If Rovers avoid defeat at Macclesfield they will equal a Club record of 17 away matches without defeat which was set in their promotion season of 1973/4..the run started in the 1972/3 season ... 7 April 1973 Scunthorpe Utd until 27 Jan 1974 Wrexham where they lost 1-0. I saw that defeat !
Another club record is just 5 away defeats in the promotion seasons of 1973/4 & 1990/1. With 3 away defeats can they break that record as well ? |

We have to go all out at Macclesfield (will be without Mansell)

I disagree going "all out" at Macclesfield could be suicidal, at least we'll have a decent playing surface and both Lines & Easter should have had some decent game time.

Imagine the uproar on here if we did and wr got stuffed!! |

We've got Taylor and Harrison etc. We still exist, albeit at a lower level temporarily, and a long unbeaten away run now is still a thing to be admired. |

Imagine the uproar on here if we did and wr got stuffed!! Crazy to 'go all out' against any team even when we are at home, but away from home we've shown that we have the fitness, experience and quality to grind teams down and either steal a point or all 3. People are acting like we are 10 points adrift at the bottom of the league or 10 points outside the play-offs with nothing to lose so we may aswell go with 8 up front. We need to stay with the leading pack, play sensible football and keep confidence and momentum going, any defeats will equal meltdown in the fanbase which then shatters the confidence of the manager and the players. |

I don't know how else to phrase it, however I'll try but this may be a little rude and brutal. We are currently non league Bristol Rovers, previously we were Football League Bristol Rovers, therefore anything we "achieve" this season is as a non league club playing against other non league clubs, most of whom are represented by part timers and therefore we really can't compare our recent successes against those of old. What is there not to understand including that you and anyone who agrees with you are completely deluded. |

This is ******* non league ffs!!! we're Bristol Rovers not Clifton St Vincent's Reserves. |

We may not be Clifton St Vincents reserves but neither are we Chelsea We are where we are - at the moment we are in the fifth tier of football in England - which is not the fault of DC or most of these players - so give them credit for being at the top end of the league that they are in. There are others who are to blame for where we are |

Any record of sixteen unbeaten matches away from home has to be admired in whatever league we are playing in

Any record of sixteen unbeaten matches away from home has to be admired in whatever league we are playing in Unfortunately Harry posting positive things like this on here is seen as offensive and wrong. I find it incredible how much this place has changed in the last 12 months, it was always heavily anti-board which i don't mind as i'm not into club politics or have any ITK knowledge on board matters, but the way things have shifted to on field matters and inparticular our manager is hard to read, especially when we are doing so well. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the Hartlepool thrashing, and even after the game i was lambasted for criticising the gent, the Ward apologists still had the nerve to try cover everything up. |

Shall we get DC to hand back his Manager of the Month awards and tell Brown & Parkers to forget they played for England 'C' while we at it? Also no celebrating if we win the Championship and forget about going to Wembley if we don't win the Championship and finish up in a second rate Play Off final! |

From my perspective, Clarke's awards are worth nought, England C caps for players that have already played League football are worth nought, and winning this division would be worth nought. If we have to suffer a Wembley play off final, I'd go and support the team. And if we won, it'd be worth nought.

Actually if we won the division or won the playoffs it wouldn't be worth naught, it would be worth a place back in the football league  (and a trophy in our dusty trophy cabinet) |
