 Third division Gas at home to a seventh tier club has to be a Bristol Rovers win, any day of the week. I would hope to see at least three home goals. The young drake and I are currently planning to be in Sodbury this evening, and to take the elder drake to The Memorial Ground for the first time since we were home to Coventry City in the third round, 5th January 2020. Are cardboard tickets any longer available, or is everything electronic only? |

1-1 and a 2-0 replay defeat.
Any sort of victory will be a welcome bonus

In a way I wouldn't mind a replay as its another one for all you ground collectors out there!
But alas, I fear a northern spanking.
Gas 4-0.
Through to the next round quite comfortably.

If you have no account created in last 12 months you cannot purchase cardboard or even e tickets suggest you join Whitby Town fc supporters club and cone down with their fans coaches Just turning up to be a glory seeker is not acceptable when we have seen dross under Mr B at home the last two seasons including a Boreham Wood defeat in the Cup |

Anything less than a three-goal margin for Rovers would be a moral victory to Whitby. As an aside and of no interest to anyone but me... I lived in a Wellington, NZ suburb called Whitby. It's a nod to James Cook who was born in Whitby UK and was the first European to chart the coastline of New Zealand in 1769 then claim it for Britain (as was the way back then). All the streets in Whitby, NZ have nautical-themed names. I'll get my coat. maps.app.goo.gl/m3hfh3YkUZqhyATJ9 |

3-1 Rovers. I don't give a monkeys about the score as long as we go through, games like this worry me due to our knack of cocking things up.
I hate being hot favourites. Not used to it.

If we had been drawn away I would almost certainly have gone and most likely made a weekend of it. North Yorkshire is lovely. Obviously hope we win but might be tempted by the replay if we draw depending upon date and other commitments |

Managerless teams tend to play much better as the tension within the club has lifted, we may well get a hatful...

5-0 and Whitby will get in our half twice, once in the warm up.

We always,nearly always, make these type of fixtures harder than they need to be, with that in mind Iām going for a narrow win 2-1 to the gas

Whitby lead 2-1 in first 20 minutes while we adjust to their mad forays. Then we go on to win 8-1.

I have gone for a loss,not because I want it but because of Rovers record of doing badly against non league opposition and the poor home record.

I was covering my tracks / gaming the system / laying down a false trail / consumed by an excess of rhubarb / deflecting attention from my amphitheatre/ in thrall to the skeletons of the past/ awaiting the return of the cinema queue / at home with the gremlins etc etc etc ad nauseam |
