How long have you supported
57 years.
Where did you finish last
3rd – Last game 7-0 win saw us clinch a promotion place at Northampton’s expense by a single goal.
What do you think of your manager?
He’s done brilliantly since he came in, overseen a root and branch change from Boardroom to playing staff. We were going nowhere until he arrived and has had full support from the owner. He has cleared out a massive amount of deadwood and wasters.
What are your hopes and
Mid-table consolidation would be fine. Anything more a bonus.
One(s) to watch?
Anthony Evans, James Bellshaw, Aaron Collins, and Sam Finlay.
Which teams do you think will finish in the
Ipswich, Portsmouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Peterborough, Bolton, and Wycombe.
Which teams do you think will finish in
Burton, Morecambe, Accrington, and Cheltenham.
What are your thoughts on
Lovely club. Friendly fans, always made welcome.
What do you think the score

Bristol Rovers (a - 17/09/22): Will The Imps Win, Lose or Draw?
Win
Lse
Draw
Random fact about your Club?
Official nickname: The Pirates. Unofficially called The Gas due to the Gas Holders at our long lost ground Eastville Stadium (now an IKEA) the end of that ground stank of Gas, Bristol City 82 fans used to call us Gas heads as a slur which we adopted.
If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?
Jordon Garrick, we could do with a good wide player.
What are your proudest and most embarrassing moments as a Bristol Rovers supporter?
Proudest: winning at Wembley I went with my dad who cried as he never thought he would see them win there, he died a few months later.
Embarrassing: relegation to non-league.
Who would you say is your
Luca Hoole – going to be a big star.
Do you have a Supporters
We have Supporters Club, 2 members on the board, raising money for the club and good causes.
Which was your favourite
Beating Bristol City82 3-0 to clinch promotion with one game to go, which we won and finished as champions. Who came 2nd, who cares (Bristol City 82).
Which was your least
Losing our final league match and getting relegated to non-league, should never have happened.
Do you have a Former Players
Yes. We are currently giving caps to every player that played for Rovers, we have old boys charity matches, and they are often at the ground as guests of honour.
