Bristol to Hartlepool, then Bristol to Morecambe? Who planned that one then?

    Unless they fly, which seems unlikely, the lads will have travelled about a thousand miles and played two games this week. I don't know how they plan the fixture lists, but it seems unfair and stupid to follow one long away trip with another one, particularly when they're only a few days apart.

    According to the local news Rovers got back to Bristol at 5 30 am and were back on the training pitch later the same day being Wednesday

    From what I have been told in the past is that Wednesdays is a day off for the players. Unless they have a match on a Wednesday. They then have the Thursday off. They always have the following day off after a game <ok> Unless they are made to come in following a poor performance but its rare.

    I wondered if they travelled up on Friday as they had had a long trip to the pool
