Bristol Rovers spent fewer days in the automatic promotion places this season (1), than Manager Joey Barton had court cases for aggravated assault (2).
A case of one's enough two's two too many

Apparently the ref has reported Bristol Rovers to the FA over the pitch invasion so a big fine could be heading there way

According to the report I read, the referee was ready to abandon the game. In a bid to prevent this, Barton took to the PA system and pleaded with Gas fans to behave.

Somewhat ironic isn't it? Joey Barton pleading for good behaviour...

One report said they were only in the auto places for 15 minutes over the entire season!

Comfortably mid-table

I think that mirrors the year they went out of the league - when I don't remember them being in the bottom 2 until the last day.

The one thing that sticks in my mind about Saturday is that FGR winning the title which is fair play and they ended up on top, B. Rovers had an incredible 7-0 win to get 3rd spot and promotion and we sort of "Got Lost" in all that, Even though this is our first promotion in a decade and I'm so happy we're up, We ended up not being acknowledged about in the same vein as the other two, Not sure if this sounds petty (Probably does) but just feel we were forgotten about after the results.

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
Swindon have had a good season whatever the outcome of their play off bid. They only had 6 players signed on 2 weeks before the season started, could only sign free agents due to a transfer embargo initially.

Bit like our "run" to the Autos going under the radar as everyone creamed themselves on the Vegans

A 1 point deduction would be fun...!
