And you could more than likely add approx 500 days on that before we’ll play them again

I love the simultaneous optimism and pessimism in this post :)

Good to also note they no longer bang on about the 34 Yr thing (11 games, 7 wins and 4 draws) seeing as we now have a similar record against them but achieved in a much shorter period of time with the teams on a more level footing.

Oh, and just the small matter of 5 IN A ROW at their cess-pit.

Love it.

Could be more if they go down, next season. I wouldn’t bet against that right now.

And before the first win we had Fatty Dunns offside goal, followed by Danny Ings being rugby tackled when he was going through 1on1 and another draw ont Turf, when Junior Stanislaus gave us the lead. If we had got the win at Deadwood you can add many days.

My eldest son, 13 years old, has always known us to be better than ******* Rovers.

Those were what should have been wins for us, taken away by foul means to draws in the record books.

But take it one match further and you have a win for them which should have been a draw in the record books when a dull 0-0 draw was turned into a win for them with a blatant and outrageous dive for a penalty.

They hung on desperately during their run. Whereas we're just motoring along fine.

Even if we go up and come back down I can see them in league 1 in the 26/27 season which would be nice. That should give us another 800 days at least without playing them in the league.

And coincidentally 5,500 is their estimated home support these days.

Me neither.
Lots of their players either OOC or going back to their clubs after their loan spells end.

They're in a mess.

Only team to take a point off us from a losing position this season aren't they? The open top bus is on Standby.

At least another 500 days can be added to that total after tonight's result, ( unless we draw them in a cup tie). Feels good doesn't it?
MIND THE GAP.

They've got a real chance of making the playoffs unbelievably with what fixtures the other teams have, and I think they've had 3 straight wins. Under 8s against Millwall anybody?
