Very nice of Rovers to theme our away end’s roof for this evening in blue and white stripes!

Any recommendations for parking or is it all street parking if I remember correctly?

 

[Easy 10]

Seen us play this lot so, so many times over the years, its incredible how far behind we've left them now (and yes, I'm well aware this remark may well precipitate them dumping us out of the cup tonight, but hey ho).

[Hendrax]

Is this being shown anywhere? I've checked normal places like Bein, NBC and british outlets.

 

[Napier]

I think I had better start making a move, traffic not looking great on the M5 around Taunton and I like to be early. Come on The Albion, let's have a win, I have not witnessed one first hand for a while!

Several threads on NSC have stated it is on BEin5 but looking at the Bein schedule it isn't listed.

 

[Hendrax]

Yes, I'm glad I checked their schedule to get the question out there now.

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited (bad fan not going, last time I went there Will Hoskyns played for Rovers

Isn't that a rather large car park behind the stand on that picture?

I went to their League 2 play off final win against Shrewsbury quite a few years back and although they had 46k fans there all auditioning for the role of village idiot you had to think that maybe this club is the king off all under achievers.

Bristol has the 6th highest population in England apparently.

Bristol has the 6th highest population in England apparently.

But like most modern cities there's very few Bristolians left.
And, it feels, a lot more City supporters.

Yes, but had we had VAR then that last Rovers goal would probably have been disallowed resulting in a slightly more respectable scoreline of 2-7.
