Congratulations to BRFC and their fans for getting promoted back to championship

Nah

I'm pretty sure Bristol Rovers haven't been promoted.

Please can we have a "dislike" button. Never has it been more needed.

Shame so many of the boycotters have stuck to their word and weren’t there to witness it...........

And hopefully a season of misery and another relegation.

Who?

Aye congratulations Vladimir Putin on winning the Russian election and all

Think the FA will have to look into their promotion as you are obviously suggesting the other teams were paid off or threatend to allow them to get promoted by the venkys.
Did they pay for chicken suppers after every teams games.
Scandal of the highest order..

Not quite like Putin though - he won.
Looks as though they might finish 2nd in a one horse race.

Don’t suppose the Venkys’ will get any thanks

Poor blatant cast. Must try harder.

Only if they now sell the decent players they have(If any) and don't put any more money in the transfer kitty.
Maybe I might, but the horse lovers and the vast multitudes of boycotting loyal fans wont.

I have passed on my congrats to a couple of mates who still watch them. It doesn’t really bother me in the slightest. I hope they enjoy their night.
Their record since October I’d imagine is the best in the football league and I’ve always liked Mowbray. Whatever we think of them he’s done a sterling job. While he’s had plentiful resources in League One terms, he’s had to overcome a terrible start and a poisonous fan vs club relationship, not exactly a one-club mentality down there is it? I have a feeling that the clubs going down from the Prem aren’t in Sunderland-style freefall and Rovers are heading for a long period of Preston-esque mediocrity at best and Bolton yo-yo business at worst.
With a bit of luck Mowbray might even go to West Brom.

The two clubs with the largest budgets Wigan (parachute payments)and Rovers(Venky subsidy) gain promotion wow!

Congratulations my backside, I hope each and everyone of them gets their balls infested with a thousand fleas from a camels 4RSE, screw em.

A little post-match "comfort" for the returning fans

The Championship is going to be a tough league to get out of next year. They don't have the resources to mount a proper challenge!

I’m happy to congratulate them for their achievement. Still way behind us, which is what matters.

Neither did we..... Twice

I do hope that the Venkys return to form an sack the highly competent Tony Mowbray, soon.

in all seriousness a great year for professional football in East Lancashire. Is there any other areas with a similar population, that can boast 3 football league teams in the nations 3 top divisions? I would doubt there is.

What a let down saw the post header and thought what have Bristol Rovers been up to, ah well never mind sort of congrats.

They’ve done very well to hold off the challenge of Shrewsbury. By contrast we have been becalmed in 7th place in the Premier League. I am so pleased for them. Just shows that they can still win things by spending more than anyone else. I wish them good luck with that approach next year.

Decent achievement for the biggest budget and wage bill ever to grace the division finishes 1 place above Shrewsbury

All them people on the pitch at Doncaster yesterday, and not one "Venky's Out" banner.

Fickle horse bothering barstewards.

To be fair, its about to be eclipsed by Blunderland...

At least Rodwell has a relegation clause now, so his wage next season will apparantly drop from £70k to £40k per week

They managed to get out of the division in 2016/17 (it's not as hard as it might seem)- I'm sure they'll be able to get out again in 2018/19

Surely it would have been more entertaining for the Venky’s just to flush £150m down the toilet....

£40k at level 3 it takes some getting your head round that.

It'll be even more entertaining when they finally pull the plug.

Bring back Steve Keen!

But, that way, they wouldn't have enjoyed so much fun with the Inbreds from Ewood

Tbh didn’t really bother me till I was in Asda at 6 am this morn.’Blackburn rovers we are on our way back ’ A gang of them was singing clearly after a all-nighter! They forget venkys are still there amazing how a league 1 promotion masks that fact up!

Yes well done. Mowbray is a very decent manager who talks sense.

On their way back to being a second tier/third tier yo-yo club. Terrific

RalphCoatesComb wrote:A little post-match "comfort" for the returning fans

those ARE the returning fans...

Such a shame they will not be playing Accrington Stanley in the league next season. I was quite looking forward to that.

Lets stop horsing around, I'm not chicken enough to congratulate them on their return to the Championship

Was hoping some1 had a grenade spare for the keepmoat last night. All them donkey fringe bothers on the pitch trying to eat the grass

Lets get used to it Clarets fans, all you will here now from b.....d fans is their back, automatic promotion to the PL is a foregone conclusion, we will be relegated and they will win the Premiership title, European cup, FA cup, League cup, sign all our best players and SD, will be their manager. I think not. A lot of deluded w..k..s

just heard two of them on Talk Sport, first one said the fans should apologize to the Venkys and the second said they should invest money into the team and do a Wolves



and

Have they actually achieved anything these past few decades that hasn't been bought for them ?

Bring back horse face he will get um out of the next division

I read a good book from my school days, rather than take an interest in them

RalphCoatesComb wrote:The Championship is going to be a tough league to get out of next year. They don't have the resources to mount a proper challenge!

Agree with Ralph.
When we went up under Sean Dyche the first time there had been some reasonable player investment, particularly under Howe.
Ings, Trippier, Mee et al were reasonably low fees at the time and Sean Dyche did a superb job of moulding them into a promotion winning team.
Now with the current insane transfer market, Venky's FC won't be able to compete with the big hitters in the championship unless they risk you know what.

Whether by luck or good judgement Mowbray was an excellent appointment. His achievements this season haven't gone unnoticed and Ipswich, where he was a very popular player, a rumoured to be keen on him.

With Mowbray in charge they should steer clear of trouble but if he goes and they make another poor appointment (as they have been known to do) then it will be hard work for them.

I see the OP is getting lots of support !!

Got to admit I'm definitely in the f-uck em camp.

I don`t go for this view that its good for our area for our teams to be doing well and a derby game would be good. I would be happy for them to drop so low in the leagues that I could go watch them on pitch 8 up Townley playing against The Crooked Billet.
