Fair point. But, I don't really see what the point of it was. I was pulled to one side when I went through, a dog detected something on me. I wasn't bothered because nobody is more anti that stuff than me and I had nothing to worry about. My mate was also pulled, and the hardest thing he's...

Must have been at least 150 there yesterday. They'd all travelled together it seemed. Arrived about 11.30 and they were all outside a pub with a big Coventry Legion flag. All ages it seemed, between 20-60. Gave it a wide berth, didn't fancy that, so went to the Bridge Inn. They all ended up...

Yeah, I think that's why we've had so much joy late in games this season. Yesterday, the 3rd goal and sending off just killed it. Think we should keep playing as we are, but we need to be a little more streetwise away from home.

Nothing to explain. I thought this was widely known? Which is more environmentally friendly: paper or plastic? Plastic or paper: Which bag is greener?

I don't agree with the OP really, but it is legitimate to asks questions about the way we are setting up away from home and if it is working when teams press high, which they will invariably do when they're at home. We've played 5 away, not won once and conceded 10 goals. No need to panic of...

I'm against single use plastics as much as anyone, they're a scourge. But, if we all switched tomorrow from plastic to paper packaging, there would be a considerable increase in carbon emissions. Plastic beats paper on virtually every environmental measure. There is nothing wrong with using...

Some premier league bed-wetting on here tonight. I swear some people spend more time watching the crowd than they do the game. Absolutely guarantee that night after we've taken a decent following anywhere they'll be a new 'our fans' thread. I didn't see any trouble today. There were a few...

The average number of home fans last season was over 11K. This during a season when we were poor at home and never in the top 6. You think yesterday we'd have only had 9200 home fans for that fixture? A game that produced our biggest SA turnout and less than we had for any league game last...

You're either on a wind up or need to give your head a shake.

Weird comparison tbf. Sunderland's lowest crowd of the season was the play off semi last season. These games are short notice, from a standing start (no STs), live on TV and midweek. We actually had more home fans for the league game prior to the Notts County game. NB I don't think we'd have...

It added 650 to be precise (based on the fact we'd probably have got 11K for that fixture otherwise, so an extra 15K over 23 games). I think people do over-egg the crowds we'd be getting if we were at the Ricoh, but also we would have got over 14K yesterday. The Mowbray season is probably a...

Highlights get more bizarre by the week. Show a Doncaster effort spooned over the bar, but not the Hiwula sitter or any of Godden's efforts. I know they are meant to be brief, but the editing is all over the shop.

It isn't just a 'line', it is fact. It is different, and this is reflected in the number of people travelling. When Rotherham played in Sheffield, B Rovers in Bath, Brighton in Gillingham and ourselves in N'ton, the circumstances were all different and people either chose to follow or they...

You realise that the 6K who go are not the same 6K every week? I know people who went to the opening game and haven't been back. I was with 2 people last Tuesday going to their first game. I know someone who was at Bristol Rovers and Gillingham but none of the other games. The point is, many...

Our figures are down quite a bit on the previous season in League 2. About 40 iirc.

It's for the whole of English football. I'm not sure how much you can read into this though. For those interested: Stoke 80 Leeds 49 Aston Villa 42 Sheffield United 41 Manchester City 39 Manchester United 36 Sunderland 34 Tottenham 34 Chelsea 30 Newcastle 30 Bristol City 28 Derby 28 Arsenal...

I always find it galling just how many games you can afford to lose in a 46 (44) game season in order to achieve automatic promotion. The idea that we can go a whole season and lose only 6/7 times seems so unlikely. That's just the cynic in me because we've never experienced anything like...

This is a man who once walked from Tamworth to Highfield Road to get to a game. Proper commitment that! Look forward to you coming over pal.

Under Sillett we finished 10th, 10th, 7th and 12th in the top flight, won the FA Cup and reached two other cup semi-finals. He was a terrific manager.

Bristol Rovers are, correct me if I'm wrong, from Bristol. Yet, when they were exiled to another town for NINE seasons, there were none of the pendantics from what I recall, just a recognition there was nowhere to play in Bristol. They stuck with the club until they were able to return. So...
