Title: Politics or football
Post by: bpoolrover on September 15, 2019, 02:26:45 am
Out of interest would you rather rovers got promoted or your political party of choice won a general election? Yes a pointless question but just wondered the outcome

That certainly is a random question for half 2 in the morning bpool :). For me it's easy...Rovers to get promoted.

You can maybe get promotion the following season but the wrong government could last year's and do untold damage. The problem is which party you want to rule the country.

Football results are more important. They tend to stand.

Makes you pine for the comedy greats like Nick Hancock and Lee Hurst.

Hopefully Brexit goes like the Charlton away game a few year ago.

All the major political parties are J Arthur at the moment, but if we get promoted we'd be back down in a year in any case.

Hmmm do I want to see my kids futures continue to be destroyed and the country go to shit, or Rovers to win promotion.....

I'll take Labour to form a government and Rovers to win the FA Cup but miss out on promotion in a penalty shootout at wembley. I'd be ok with that  :lol: :scarf:
