Back in the mix so to speak. Two home games now - one against Rushden, one against Carlisle. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we lost to Anne Diamonds but beat Carlisle
There is no reason Rovers can't make the playoffs , youv'e left it oo late to get automatic but I wouldn't fancy playing you for promotion because I reckon you'd win it ! Still a chance for Wycombe to get automatic promotion , we're something like 4 points behind northampton which is doable but we need to win the rest of our games to do it IMO

I was talking about our next two matches
I refuse to extrapolate to the end of the season until there's only one or two games to go (being miles ahead in second place 6 years ago and ballsing it up over the last ten games cured me of that).Having said that, those home games should all be winnable. The away match at the Racecourse on Easter Monday looks massive now...

I understand now ! I'm not too keen on the next few fixtures Wycombe have got , they are all against teams fighting relegation/playoff spots which is never a good thing , why couldn't we have some mid table shite to play out the season against then I'd be happy

We're being airbrushed out of history I tells ya
I'll join you being mad . It's fucking disgusting that the lower leagues get little or no media coverage . The obsession with the top 2 teams is destroying English football IMO !
I haven't stopped smiling yet 
Great game, great travelling fans, great performance and great results around us. We can still do this!
After what I said on another thread about the dreadful amplified music some grounds insist on playing when their team scores, I'd like to add something else. When crowds sing it's, by definition, a group reaction to what's happening on the pitch. Whereas when a bloke in a box presses a button, it's quite easy for them to completely misread the situation. So, the highlight for me was when Wycombe scored their consolation goal, the music came on and we promptly danced around to it in the away end, whilst the home fans shuffled towards the exits.
The other highlight was them hitting both posts with one shot in the first 5 mins. We celebrated that as if we'd scored too.
I took a couple of mates who have no connection with Rovers (or Bristol) and was nervous that we'd lose 1-0 to a first half penalty (or something), but they've now started asking me about our upcoming fixtures and talking about making pilgrimages to the Mem

It was a great game. Wycombe unlucky not to take the lead in the first few minutes. I think the kick off was delayed a couple of minutes due to the Rovers fans outside. Was quite impressed with the Bristol Rovers support.
Pretty impressed also with the standard of play.
The burgers were possibly the rankest of all time. No good whatsoever.
Cold grey and minging.
Good day out though!
JTG said:I also hear that the playing of 'singing the blues' when the teams came out for the second half backfired somewhat by succeeding in whipping the away supporters up, roaring the boys on to securing an early second
Yes. Bizarre. Presumably Wycombe also sing something along the lines of "...when Wycombe win and er... Aylesbury lose..."?
Not that we could hear them.
And the song they played when they scored their consolation was "Dud dud duu duh.... Richard Walker". I'm not used to that kind of hospitality
Relahni said:Yeah would love to.
I bet the atmosphere is not as good though.
It's always better away from home.
Good night Irene etc...
Nah, the Mem's a right miserable place at times, it's one of the reasons we get cracking away results but we're a bit hit and miss at home.
Can't believe Wycome play Pigbag when they score! Fucking classic, walked into that one
Do do do do - Richard Walker!
huxley - Wycombe's rivals are Col U. Ask Savage Henry why, it goes back to their days in the Conference together.

Colchester were Wycombes closet rivals in the Conference and 2 seasons before we got promoted we finished level onpoints but colchester went up on goal difference . The really annoying thing is they beat us at Loakes Park with a freak goal by their goalkeeper . Since it was a very windy day when the ball was kicked out the wind caught it and it just went over our keeper . If that hadn't happened we would have won the league by 2 points
We did go up the year after though , which was nice
Wycombe fans also hate SLough Town but since they are so shit now it doesn't really matter

JTG asked me (when I was in a messy state) if I knew the words to Goodnight Irene yet...
My altered state of mind thought it was something like see you in the morning...
Looking forward to visiting the gas.
