To be fair, that's some cracking bantz and a great bit of photoshop. Credit where credit is due.

I don't get this at all. Someone please explain. Other than we lost the replay of a game that we were winning comfortably what is there to laugh about. Why are we the laughing stock after this? 2500 supporters away from home watching lge 2 football, the s*** can't muster half of that and they are top of league 1.

I admire your courage, LJG. I made the mistake earlier today, of confusing Mark McGhee and Mark McChrystal on a different thread, by assuming that I knew what MM stood for. I was once advised by an extremely able person that, ''in business, one should never assume anything.'' Good advice that.

I think that this is cheap, nasty and vindictive . . . oh, and completely unnecessary as well. What point does it serve, eh?

Have they forgotten about the premature "division 3 champions" T-shirts of 1990?!
As always it's selective memories over at Trashton!
Bless em.

Normally happy to give credit where it's due but that really is a rubbish attempt at mockery!

As that photo was taken in Blackpool on 5/2/1990 I can just add the following little ditty relating to that day:
All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small Rovers won the Championship And City won f**k all.... Again.

Anyway
We won the league! Beside the sea! We won the league beside the sea We won the league beside the seaside We won the league beside the sea!

Yes, I've just spotted the Bantz Signal in the sky over Bedminster. To the Bantermobile!

But then again that lot average about 12,000 home gates, where as we haven't even got close to that for about 40 years! Swings and Roundabouts!

I'm sure we probably are the laughing stock of the West Country (and beyond), but not for our away support.
Really odd choice of cover picture too. I think there were more Rovers than Blackpool that day, 1997/98 I think.
