Hi P49! Great to be back. I'd quite like to go over to the C*ty board and bait them. Is that still allowed? After all, they could make it eight this weekend.....mmm, that's got a certain ring to it, Ashton Gate and the number 8........
They are allowed to come over here and 'bait us' so cant see why not . The ONLY difference between both boards that I can see is that banter from guests on our board is for the banter threads. Banter from them has its place on our board so normal threads dont get ruined and hijacked. Its what members want on our board . But I dont think the reds mind banter on normal threads their end. Its what their members want on their board . Thats the only difference. Your guess is as good as mine why 'a few' dont understand that and accept that
Some of them are bawling their eyes out about it Funny stuff, mind you I'd be touchy if my team had lost 7 (S-E-V-E-N) in a row!

VIEWS FROM THE TRAINING GROUND Bristol Rovers manager Mark McGhee told BBC Radio Bristol: "Danny Woodards was our player of the year last year and he will get back in the team. "Matty Lund has done extremely well as well, so other players are going to be looking over their shoulder. "We felt that, regardless of how it looked, we deserved the win [against Chesterfield]. "They have been good this week and they do have the positive influence of a victory last week, as well as the ambition to get two in a row."

First-year referee Scott Duncan is the man in the middle for the match on Saturday. The Newcastle-based official was promoted to the league this summer having progressed through the ranks in recent seasons. We were due to see him for our visit to Rotherham in September, but he withdrew the day before the game through injury and was replaced by Steve Martin. Scott has had a busy start to his Football League career and Saturday will be his tenth match of the season. He started with Port Valeâs 3-0 home defeat of Barnet on the opening day of the campaign and has travelled even further south to referee Northampton v AFC Wimbledon and Cheltenham v Southend! His most recent match was 11 days ago when he took charge of Doncaster v Crewe in League One. In his previous nine games this term Scott has shown 17 yellow cards and as yet, no red.
TEAM NEWS Manager John Coleman will contemplate changes after describing Rochdale's performance in their FA Cup defeat by Morecambe on Tuesday as "dross". Dale striker Bobby Grant is set to return from a one-match ban. Bristol Rovers are without on-loan Matty Lund, who is suspended, so Michael Smith is likely to deputise. Danny Woodards is set to be named on the bench again and could be ready to make his first appearance since breaking his leg last season.
FROM THE TRAINING GROUND Rochdale manager John Coleman told BBC Radio Manchester: "If we're going to get the home fans on board, we've going have to play better than we did against Morecambe on Tuesday night. "We're going to have to improve if we're going to try and do anything in the league. "It seems that we don't manoeuvre the ball into areas to make chances at home, and we tend to be able to do that away from home when we play on the counter. "When we have to force the game, there's not enough imagination in our play." Bristol Rovers manager Mark McGhee told BBC Radio Bristol: "Danny Woodards was our player of the year last year and he will get back in the team. "Matty Lund has done extremely well as well, so other players are going to be looking over their shoulder. "We felt that, regardless of how it looked, we deserved the win [against Chesterfield]. "They have been good this week and they do have the positive influence of a victory last week, as well as the ambition to get two in a row."
