Feels so weird to be listening in on the wireless. Like the good old days. Might nip out after the match to get a green un.

Commentary on 5 live sport extra, for those out of area. 

Wind yer neck in, Blondie!
...There was a post referring to the potential of being in a play off position if we win our game in hand.  This was coupled with a question as to "why the owner would be showing concern".
You responded with your seemingly negative view... albeit factually correct... that the play offs represent a 75% chance of staying in league one.  I repeat... factually correct.

I countered your comments with an equally factually correct... but technically of a more positive view... that the play offs represent a 25% chance of promotion, which is good odds, when compared to the number of teams in the league.
 
I didn't notice anywhere within all that anyone referring to Mr Clowes being pleased... presumably you meant with reaching the play offs but not gaining promotion?  🤷‍♂️
I'd argue there's considerable leeway between "showing concern" and "being pleased"?  "Middle ground", I think they call it?

Either way... You can have these back, as I'm not accepting them.  Feel free to forward them on to someone more deserving... 🙄 

I was just thinking, after reading that first post from @CBRammette, wouldn't it be lovely for "someone" to come on and suggest moving house/resigning/ringing in sick/getting a second job/robbing a bank/syphoning someone's fuel tank after dark/sneaking out of the house under the pretence of nipping out for a bottle of milk!
Just a bit more B4, and we could soon have a crowd of 25,000... at least!

Or they would desperately like to be there but perhaps have had many midweek games lately, live away from Derby, have jobs and family commitments and are also perhaps cash-strapped at the moment

B4 would have explained how you could reorganise your finances so you could afford to go!! Missing him is almost a physical pain. RIP.

If a few of us e-Mail peteweymouth@bristolrovers.co.uk the message may get through. 
 

Superb @Comrade 86 Sir

Done mate. I've linked in this thread for context.

Yes, apparently neither Derbyshire nor Yorkshire are particularly nice places to live 😊

Blimey!  This takes me back a fair bit!
 
... Not so much to when football hooliganism was rife, just back to when I was 7 years old!  🤣

Annecy huh? Camped there last summer, me and the missus. Stayed at Le Solitaire Du Lac, great campsite and direct access to the lake for swimming, water is surprisingly warm but it was touching 40 degrees when we went.
The drive to Chamonix is super picturesque if you fancy a day trip to see Mont Blanc. You can even get a train to Geneva which I'm told is also picturesque but we didn't do that.
 
Alsace we did 4 years ago, also fantastic scenery and beautiful towns/villages, very germanic. We stayed near Colmar, in Eguisheim. Some stunning old places around there like Riquewehr.  Close to Freiburg and Basle as well. Freiburg was lovely and they have Park and Ride.
 
I'm sure you'll have a great time, wherever you go. 
We are off to New York end of April and then our camping trip is planned for San Remo in July.

Conversely then they must give you a 25% chance of being back in the Championship. 
Given that he's not spent a penny on players in the last 2 seasons, I can see why Clowes in not panicking like some sections of the fanbase.
