I’m glad I’m not a sports journalist reporting on Rovers at present. Would have run out of descriptions and superlatives to use. Maybe resort to …”just read last report and repeat!”

Just reading through this thread from the beginning.Unfathomable what we are doing.Everything crossed we keep the run going for a few more games.The team will gain legendary status.
One more point guarantees the play offs.In fact, we only need to better any of crewe, Crawley or Barrow’s results - even if we lost, and Crewe also lost by the same margin, we would be ok. Or if we lost and Barrow didn’t win..I can’t believe we have come this far so quickly.. it is going to happen, isn’t it.?
I think what I am loving is the togetherness of our fan base, no longer arguing between ourselves and just living in the moment!

His team aren’t doing the basics he says.https://x.com/barrowafc/status/1782890979315298737?s=46The problem here is that I fear Barrow will drop out and Bradford will sneak in. They have momentum unlike the others. They have an easy home game v Newport on Saturday. A Bradford play-off final would have a tremendous atmosphere though. All the other clubs have small fanbases.
If this whole thread was turned into a book, you simply wouldn't believe it! Totally surreal what we've done to this point. Just get it over the line now!
My mate Bob is a builder who is currently doing some work for me. I asked him that very question & without any further prevarication he simply answered “Yes we can”!”.I never argue with Bob.
Has anyone ever done what we’ve done before? Climb from such a low starting point to a play off place?

Just get it over the line now!It’s proper Roy if the Rovers stuff, if someone said you got to win 10 on the trot to get into the playoffs, you would have thought Omg no way can a team do that, I knew we would go on quite a great run, but I’m lost for words with this run.

I'm not saying I fore saw it, but in about October time, I. Commented that if we are anywhere near the top 7, at game 30, we were in with a chance, as the remaining games had a majority of sides that I thought were not gonna be play off material. I was wrong about crewe, crawley and barrow, but right about the possibility of picking up a good chunk of points. Shame I never bet..

Shame I never bet..I don’t understand your post, at game 30 we were 20th on 32points close to the drop, so at game 30 we were way off 7th
