A message for all Rovers fans
« on March 27, 2016, 07:34:38 pm by RoversAlias »
I had some free time on this Easter Sunday so thought I'd articulate some of my less downtrodden thoughts about the club over this weekend. I can only write "Hey we might actually win the next one" so many times so thought I'd try something a bit different today. Give it a read if you have the time, let me know your thoughts, and Happy Easter to everyone, whatever you're all getting up to today.

A good read but I'm waiting for the silver lining that every cloud has.
Surely we can have one game where we just grab a game by the throat can't we?
All of our rivals seem to manage it. It's like trying to kick start a motorbike, once it goes and ticks over it might just keep going.

Nice read. 

It pains me, sitting here at work in Guernsey and not been able to get to the Keepmoat today to support the team.  Its emotional and its tearing me up, possibly our biggest game of the season and im resigned to another afternoon next to the fire in the Lucky Pint.

Whatever the end of the season brings, next season, when i make my appearance, hopefully with my son for his first match, i don't care what league we will be in - it will be his memory and his day!

GOSH I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT. I have not been this depressed about our team since the 90's
Right now I need a lift and I have always been a 'glass is half full person' always looking at the positives. TODAY HAS TO BE THE TURNING POINT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.  :rtid:

A good read, love how you finished it. Hopefully we'll all be a bit more upbeat come 5pm today.

Also ... let's never forget what happened when Max Griggs , after so much abuse, handed the club, Rushden and Diamonds  over to the supporters . Let's hope Messrs Bramall and Watson do not listen to the abusive  posts, aimed at the owners , on here .

How much was it?  Its a shame you can't do a day return - its impossible to any of the northern airports from the Islands.  Manchester is too tight.

If Jersey did a day return i could hop across from here - but even that extortionate and at random times now

Enjoy

Better for midweek games can do a one night return. Saturday games mean arrive Friday night and go back Sunday but still glad the option is there now

Same here ... I can now get train from Brussels to Amsterdam and then a direct flight to Donny airport ; pity they don't fly directly to Brussels , but no arguments in favour now after this week's atrocities here .
