think not from Grimsby.....kids and all about?......how about two/three seasons ago where a good turn out of rovers were enjoying a pre match drink among on an away day game. among other families at the pub , believe it was in a marquee,going about their own business,not remotely connected to football, were suddenly being abused and assaulted by a rampaging bunch of rovers "fans" ... a scene debated on here ,or possibly the forum preceding this one . what goes around comes around..... so before you go isolating one set of fans with crap just check out the history of your own

i never said it was ok at all, i have pointed out to you that this behaviour. unnaceptable as it is, is not just something that happened at Wembley in front of you and yours,by Grimsby? supporters but has also happened in an incedent caused by rovers supporters in the same sort of setting, in front of kids and adults doing nothing other than having a good time ... as for kids well i have two, one whom i used to take regularly to Twerton , and a daughter who went occasionaly to the Mem..as for me being a GTFC!! i would imagine that i have been following Rovers longer than youv'e been alive... goodbye

Then you should back your own supporters and not tar everyone with the same brush after a incident that happened 3 years ago,rovers fans have been good as gold all season and have been a credit to the club
Couldn't give a s**t if you've been watching for 100 years,maybe you shouldn't bother if your that bitter against your own fans

Tranmere fan here.
As we find ourselves in a similar predicament to that suffered by Bristol Rovers the previous season, I was hoping you may assist in raising money to help us purchase a new player which would hopefully help us replicate your feat of returning to the Football League at the first attempt. I appreciate Bristol Rovers need to build their own squad but as you're now in a different division we won't be a direct threat to you anyway (yet), and if we all pull together, there could be another Rovers in League Two in time for the 2016/17 season!
Unfortunately, we don't have an initiative similar to that undertaken by Grimsby so I was thinking, if everyone donated a couple of quid to me, I could then pass that on to the club. Rather than just donating it, I was thinking I could use the money to buy a cup of tea/burger/programme at the game, that way the money still goes to the club and I get some benefit for my efforts. I've already donated over 250 quid to the cause by way of purchasing a season ticket, and may invest another £40 if I like the look of the new away kit when it's announced later this week, (very generous I'm sure you'll agree!)
What do you guys reckon? Anyone who wants to donate and help fellow Rovers get promoted, send us a PM and I'll forward you my bank details to make the payment!
Cheers an advance!

Been reading the ismellgas/lostinspace debate with interest.
lostinspace- I'm curious. What game was it where Rovers fans went on the rampage in a marquee full of families? I'm sure I would have remembered something like that.
I'm not for one minute saying all Rovers fans are angels, far from it, but I would have been embarrassed if some of ours behaved the way some Grimsby fans behaved in London. I witnessed a large group of Grimsby 'youth' throw a smoke bomb indiscriminately into a group of mixed group of Rovers fans, including kids. They got what they came for at the start of the season outside the Vic and their behaviour outside the Globe was an embarrassment to any so called 'firm'.
Of course there are loads of decent Grimsby fans and their support was noisy and passionate, but they won't be getting a penny from me after what I saw.

i believe the game was around 3/4 years ago. team wise not sure vaguely recall at Oxford for some reason.where there were a good following of rovers and this pub with good outside space full of people doing the football and their own private thing,all ages ,young kids and adults, and rovers fans enjoying a pre match drink, when a group of rovers came into the garden and just created havoc, as i said it was discussed on the previous forum to this, [had a trawl back to 2013 but cant find it. so before then, not something i have made up to make comparrisoms about the wembley incedents , but its a case of where those who create the problem initially are never those who get caught up in the " what comes around type incedent,"
sure its never nice to be caught up in it, and most clubs have these type of followers, wether its rovers grimsby or whoever,

Didn't one of our credits to the club racially abuse the Dartford goalie and receive a ban for it? And doesn't someone else invade the pitch vs Eastleigh and confront one of the players? We are not so high and mighty. Neither are fans of Grimsby, Barcelona or San Marino. Every team has their idiots. |

Of course there are loads of decent Grimsby fans and their support was noisy and passionate, but they won't be getting a penny from me after what I saw. similar to my experience with Grimsby fans. Of course it's probably a 'minority', but if it happens at both games I've seen against them, isn't it getting a bit too regular to just make excuses all the time?? I, completely by accident/fortune, walked through the aftermath of their 'firm' trying to 'take' the Vic on the first game of the season, on my walk to the Mem. Thanks lads. First game of our season of disgrace in non-lge and your louts were causing trouble all ready. Hadn't even started the season. I had to wait for my bro & his [female] friend at the end of wembley way for about 12 mins before the game,and believe you me, it wasn't always pleasant, mainly coming from the grimsby 'side' of the walkway. The rovers bit seemed to have a lot of women and children in it, having a family day out, whereas the Grimsby hoardes I saw were mainly young men, often leery and thinking they were hard. |

LOL. made me laugh [in a good way] Thing is though that you don't actually need more money. you need a total change of ethos, like we did. the allusion of money is merely temporary and has helped keep several teams down in non-lge for a long time. do it the rovers buddhist monk way; cabbage and beans. |

I'm not sure what ismellgas is looking for here.
I've been amongst smoke bombs let off by our own supporters this season and it's bl**dy annoying so not 'as good as gold' as we're being made out to be, there has also been vile abuse being called out to our players and manager, a fan trying to get onto the players coach to remonstrate with them, one of our fans trying to punch an opposing player, racial abuse towards the Dartford goalie, yep we're 'as good as gold' aren't we ?
Makes you proud to be following the Gas doesn't it ?! (not).
As Foran for England says every club has its idiots but that's no reason to excuse them just because they're Gasheads.

i believe the game was around 3/4 years ago. team wise not sure vaguely recall at Oxford for some reason.where there were a good following of rovers and this pub with good outside space full of people doing the football and their own private thing,all ages ,young kids and adults, and rovers fans enjoying a pre match drink, when a group of rovers came into the garden and just created havoc, as i said it was discussed on the previous forum to this, [had a trawl back to 2013 but cant find it. so before then, not something i have made up to make comparrisoms about the wembley incedents , but its a case of where those who create the problem initially are never those who get caught up in the " what comes around type incedent," sure its never nice to be caught up in it, and most clubs have these type of followers, wether its rovers grimsby or whoever, Thought you were muddling your facts about that game. Everything was peaceful at the pub with a huge number of Rovers fans enjoying drinks out the front of the pub, & indeed there was a marquee selling beer. Then the Oxford fans entered the rear of the pub & came through & out to the front throwing punches. At which point a number amongst the large gathering at the front of the pub thought 'I'll have a bit of this' and chaos ensured. Of course the truth that won't suit your warped narrative will it? |

Of course the truth that won't suit your warped narrative will it? well i stand corrected and happy to do so, i recall the incedent ,i was not there but and from what i believed at the time it was instigated by a group of Rovers followers, obviously wrong, it still does not alter the fact however that no club has a perfect group who follow them ....not too sure where you get the warped narrative from though |

The Oxford incident I recall was Rovers fans drinking in the Priory Pub, when the police let a large group of Oxford fans march from a nearby estate to the pub without being stopped, which then resulted in trouble. I think the Rovers fans weren't to blame on this occasion. I can think of other times when they have been to blame, but the reason for my question is that I still do not recall Rovers fans causing trouble in a marquee full of families. So my point still stands - I would be ashamed if some Rovers fans behaved the way some Grimsby fans did in London, eg throwing smoke bombs in to kids |

I see Newport County have signed John Paul Pitman from Grimsby Very few players, I would imagine. Do you mean Lenell John-Lewis? He's gone to Newport but I think Pittman is staying to atone for his penalty miss? |

I see Newport County have signed John Paul Pitman from Grimsby Clearly I would have no idea about that, it depends on the clubs skill in the transfer market I suppose. Although I see that they have signed the former Portsmouth defender Danny East on a one-year contract, so that's a start I suppose. But no-one will be able to judge until all of the in's and out's are concluded. But the point is that Grimsby's supporters are making additional funds available to the club, so good for them I say. |
