Bristol Rovers

[vulture]

Have sold 40 thousand tickets for the play off final game

 

[BensGrandad]

They are obviously the big club in Bristol.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I wouldn't be too suprised if at least 5000-10000 of them were not even Bristol Rovers fans but just people who want to experience Wembley

 

[Scotty Mac]

more than we sold

 

[Icy Gull]

I think we would easily have sold 40,000 just because it is the new Wembley and far closer than Cardiff, for us if not Rovers.

The fact that the game is being played at New Wembley probably accounts for 10,000 of those fans.

I refuse to accept that Bristol Rovers are a bigger club than us

 

[watsongooal]

I'm going! mate had a spare ticket

 

[Napper]

they have won the Watney cup though and their biggest win was vs BHA 7 - 0

Not as big as us though

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I pray they win. Their stadium manager is a friend of mine, and I am on the promise of hospitality next time we play there!

 

[Simster]

All Wembley crowds are going to be massive over the next year or so. Even Exeter managed to shift 29,000 for what was a non-league game last weekend.

A guy I work with is going on Saturday and is in the Shrewsbury end. To be fair, he supports Palace, so it's the best hope he's got of getting to Wembley!!

I used to live opposite the Rovers ground, I can't say they had a huge following. People clearly want a day out at Wembley and personally I'd rather go to a playoff final than see that pile of sh*te they called an FA Cup final.

and you'd be more likely to get a ticket for the play-offs aswell.

 

[unnameable]

I'm not sure that Bristol Rovers have ever beaten us 7-0. But they have certainly beaten us 8-2. I was at the Goldstone when they did so.

Not quite - they've been allocated 40,000 tickets. Their final 5,000 dont' go on sale until tomorrow.

Be a few years as they are ground sharing for next 2 seasons

Aren't they playing at Cheltenham next year?

 

[Safeway]

They wanted to share with Swindon but were told where to go after it all went off down during the league game between the pair a few weeks back.

 

[gjh1971]

Aren't they playing at Cheltenham next year?

Yes, Yes they are

 

[Kenhead]

Would rather Shrewsbury went up as they move into there new ground in the summer and i'll beable to tick it off the list

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Aren't they playing at Cheltenham next year?

That's the plan.

However, from what I've read/heard, it is dependant on Bristol City Council giving them permission to redevelop the Memorial Ground and the hearing isn't for quite a while.

I think they're planning to move out by the end of December if BCC play ball, so if we're away to them (IF they win on Satuday) before January, then it'll be in Bristol.
