Must admit, slightly disappointed if there is less than 500 of you ! we took around 450 to you for an early kick off that was on the tv ! True, but it was first game of the season. Like others, I'd expect 400-500 not many more.

noticed on the HTV NEWS, THAT A gtfc fan was ejected by force from FGR[in a headlock apparently] for failing to hand over an inflatable ball !! presumably deemed an offensive weapon!! wtf?? It seems Dale Vince has employed the security firm that used to smash up his old peace convoys. Thugs in black bomber jackets in the stands, ex-cons on the pitch.

More than a little OTT - if it wasn't so serious, it would be funny. I'm still trying to work out why the guy with the bandana on (left of picture) has brought his dog with him?

Maybe it's an inflatable dog.

Would have loved to have gone to this one and re paid their cheery hospitality. But will be saving the cider tokens for the weekend v gateshead. And i know quite a few doing the same.

However, I have read a number of complaints from away fans about over zealous behaviour from the stewards. A friend of mine (who I plan to meet up with next Saturday) was at this game and was saying the choking incident which has hit the web was only part of their "over-zealousness". The guy was subsequently taken outside and forced up against a breeze block wall, sustaining grazes to his face, and "restrained" by 4 thugs purporting to be stewards. We're talking about a 41-year old guy at the match with his wife and daughter FFS. We should be following FGR's investigation very closely and if we do share should be insisting certain individuals are never employed at the Mem. Seems like a classic case of the old night club mentality - if there was no trouble going on, the bouncers would start some for the buzz and to justify them being there.

Stewards even agreed They're not 'our' police, I think you'll find the activities of the Avon & Somerset Constabulary tend to be outwith the influence of Bristol Rovers Football Club. I'm assuming Barnet FC don't exert much influence at New Scotland Yard either

Hi Town fan in peace, looking forward to this game and seeing some away support for a change. Any fans travelling by train (and never been to GTFC), get off at Cleethorpes not Grimsby. The No.2 pub on station is small but sells real ale, they are numerous other pubs close by. Those who want to sample fish and chips, I recommend the Ocean bar or Ernie Becketts's (eat in and takeaway) or Steels's (eat in only, does get busy) google for details. Also inside the away end they is a bar which sells beer with Sky Sports showing the early kick-off live on a large screen. Also any away fans attending, if you have any old Bristol Rover's scarfs, flags or football tops to donate to our ever increasing away supporters memorabilia on the wall. Have a safe journey up/

For our own away day high standards, I'll be shocked if we only took 300! I'm not expecting Woking like figures but for a team in our position & what is a huge game, I'd expect 5/600 up there surely??

Ah well the 3 points is more important

Woking has messed all this up. Modern life is rubbish. They under-reacted at Woking. Now every club will probably over-react. Frustrating.
