I just had a read of the Oxfords forum, they don't seem to like us very much at all do they. Anyway I have to agree about what they are saying about the prices they have to pay to sit in a sh** stand or stand on the terrace with bad views, if I was an Oxford supporter I would not be going to this, I'd be watching on Ifollow. Really don't think alot of their fans but I do see their point. Yes they are a very strange bunch of fans but they’re certainly correct about the prices. Yes the price thing is poor. Did they do something similar to our fans recently so it’s just a tit-for-tat thing or is it just a cheek by us. They don’t like us at all as you say but when they start bringing Clare into it that’s beyond acceptable! Don’t they know she’s one of the good guys? And interestingly the poster who emailed her got a prompt answer from her answering their question. And still they moaned! UTG!

Really ? I’d be furious. You can’t postpone something that’s been scheduled for months because of weather conditions you’ve known about for 7 days , 24 hours before it’s due to happen. If these games were going to be postponed then it should have been done earlier in the week or not at all. The cost of postponing it late will leave them open to being sued by nearly a hundred clubs that have put on coaches , food, stewards , police etc. Ludicrous suggestion that it should be postponed so close to the matchday. So all about you then being furious - I understand. “Ludicrous” I don’t think so, apart from the players there are are upwards I would guess of 5k supporters of all ages standing or even sitting (only the Thatchers or West Stand offer any form of real cover) in extreme heat for over two hours in arguably one of the worst equipped stadiums in the UK for offering protection against the elements. Would you stand or sit in your garden for two hours with no shade? I’m not saying it would be ludicrous to call it off. I’m saying calling off nearly 50 football matches at such short notice would be ludicrous when we’ve all known all week what the weather was going to be like. Like I said in my post , did you read it ?? If they were going to call it off then they would have done it sooner and not the day before the match.

Have just been shown something on Facebook which genuinely made my eyes bleed. Someone has paid actual money (not even Monopoly pound notes) to have a banner made up specifically for tomorrow, which features the snakes image with “We will never forget you Martin” emblazoned across it. Which I’m assuming is the joke, because his names Matty/Matthew & not Martin. So now I can’t unsee what is probably the least funny gag I’ve ever had the misfortune of being exposed too. It’s probably reached Twitterland already so we’re all shown up as a collective. Some place that Facebook group, jaysus Christ. Wooooooooooooooosh big time. Brilliant from who ever done it…….. Penny dropped yet buddy.

I know it wouldn't help Rovers much, but the EFL should allow extra subs in games played in over 28C temperatures.

I actually quite like the concept of more subs. It’s the time wasting element that gets on my wick. I’d be well up for stopping the clock when out of play and having 30 minute halves. That way time wasting becomes pointless anyway.

Agree something needs to be done about the time wasting, there needs action from the authorities to sort the situation out as it’s progressively getting worse.

Yep, we had 6 mins added on to the FGR game and we played about a minute of it.

Controversial I know. For me mirror the kids game and Futsal. Have 5 on the bench and roll on and roll off the whole game.
That would mess with managers heads, if it works at the kids game why not.

Nawwwww,the poor souls, f**k em. Probably have the hump because they’re on 7 consecutive home games without a win against us (with a crowd obviously) 6 wins and a draw last time out. We pay north of 20 sheets for a view of a Hollywood bowl car park & they tried all the tricks in that last league visit. Minimal allocation, 1000 was it down from 3? No standing, not even in the back row. Stewards acting like they had warrant cards in the back pocket & particularly being pr***s when it came to assisting with flags. Surprised we were allowed a sing song. Once again we left with all 3 points so worked out as is routine at 3 sided Lego lane. Hope they roast good n crispy😄 People moan that stewards aren’t up to their job, at our place yet, when they do, at other grounds, people moan again. Something must be done to control overly enthusiastic fans, you know the sort. I do dislike their ground and hate Thames Valley OB too.

That would be more like the game in the good ole US of A. I do not want us implementing anything lie that, here but I’d love the cook outs and the service that they provide, on all sporting events
