even if they do get promoted you only have to look at Wigan last season and Bolton this season to see what awaits them without amazing investment

Technically third rate. Rovers losing is always a joyous occasion, even more so at the level they are at!

I can't really scoff at his enthusiasm of being 0-0 at Scunthorpe bearing in mind we got delighted at scoring a last minute winner in off someones backside at Scarborough at one time, but it is nice to see all the same.

We should dominate every game in this division home and away. Tonight so far is just not acceptable. Mowbray under pressure for me if the game continues like this. :evil:

Surely you weren't expecting to walk it? Tough division to get out of is League 1.

Not when your players are superior as ours are, inc bench options.

I just had a look at the line-ups and hand on heart I know more Scunthorpe players than Rovers.

Don't embarrass yourself. It's unbecoming. You're in League One because you deserve to be. Level playing field. That sort of arrogance will get you relegated. At the end of the season, IF you are in a position to gloat then fine, but not when you have lost at home to Doncaster Rovers and at Southend!

We are the form team in the league, are 4 points off second, have a home game at the weekend and a game in hand, and have yet to peak performance wise as a team. I think venkys will be as happy with that as our manager, players and fans are.. :)

10,000 fans at league one level is OK. Probably matches your average at in that league. We go top 6, then expect an increase.

You're missing the point! All of a sudden you have a few wins and Venkys are good again? Have you been reading your own posts?!!!!!!

Exactly be typical Rovers fans to forget the boycott at the slightest whiff of success. Embarrassing.

To be fair, I'm in the 'venkys imcompetant' camp, not 'venkys corrupt'.. I'd like something to go right for the hapless Indians..

Wonder if the other 'boycotters' will move to your camp should you mount a promotion charge!? Bit like they did for the United cup match last season.

I've not attended for years as is well known and wasn't a regular when last in the premier. Novelty wears off even at the top level after 20 years of it.. ;)
