Re: Rival Watch

At the other end of the table, Derby blew it tonight and 2nd place is back in Bolton's hands. It's probably in our interests for the top 3 all to go up and leave a weaker division next season, but it would be oh so funny if we got back to the Championship because Derby.

Re: Rival Watch

2-0 Posh. That game is done.

So win on Saturday and we're safe whatever the other results, save insane GD swings. If we win and Vale don't, it's mathematically certain.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Sounds like shit hitting the fan with 777's Everton takeover. Sky reporting that the Premier League have approved in principle subject to several conditions: - All money they have lent so far is converted to equity (easy enough) - £60m is placed in escrow to help Everton's day to day funding - They ...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

We're currently on 49 points. The maximum of others are: Port Vale - 55 Cheltenham - 53 Burton - 52 So by my maths, if we win on Saturdays, only 1 of Cheltenham and Burton can catch us, no matter what their results are? So, if we beat Barnsley, we could be safe if either: - Port Vale pick up a maxim...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The US investors will always want to make money, and that means aiming for the top league. Interesting to listen to the US Bournemouth owner last night on his plans, and the Birmingham City expansion plans. We already have the stadium, but needs more use. Buy the land around the ground from the Tha...

Re: Rival Watch

Port Vale travel to P'Boro tonight. Do we feel confident enjoying to start supporting them yet? Would much rather Cheltenham and Burton went down.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If we do join the growing list of clubs with US investment, I do wonder where this is going in the long term. US sporting franchises make money, US businessmen like to make money. But very few people make money out of English football. Could we witness a moment where the penny drops and US investor...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Did anyone else catch Dave Kitson on BBCRB last night. I only heard some of it and I doubt he’s actually ITK, but he seemed very dubious about the takeover and whether it’s going to happen. Like several others from the 106 squad, though, he seemed to have a genuine affection for the club. Seem to r...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Tbh bar that 2 points in 10 game run or whatever it was I’ve enjoyed this season on tbe pitch I’d take much the same; add an extra 4 or 5 wins and no points deductions or panic sales and I think we’d be in quite a good place Fair, but the off pitch situation has made it impossible to truly enjoy at...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Generally agree things are looking positive if the takeover happens, but posted this on the Rovers match thread about why I think 2026 may be a more realistic target for promotion. If the takeover happens and we keep the bulk of this team plus the manager together next year, there's reasons to be op...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

If the takeover happens and we keep the bulk of this team plus the manager together next year, there's reasons to be optimistic. Could could our situation this season have given us an extra edge we risk losing? It's been the team and the fans against the world, fighting for the club's survival. It w...

Right Chiron, we're staying up. Get the deal done. Contracts exchanged before the Blackpool game would make an amazing final day.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

FT, and in Cheltenham too. Basically safe. If P'boro beat Vale tomorrow, we'd need to lose all 3 and have pretty much every result go against us. Could well be confirmed with a win on Saturday given Barnsley's form.

I don’t think so.

The maths aren't important really. If results stay as they are, we're safe.


People said the same about us and Fulham in that second prem season.

We're miles ahead of where we were then. Plus we'd need 2 teams to do something ridiculous, not 1.

Clyde1998 Can’t easily do the maths in my head, but (as it stands) would that be five points to mathematical safety?
