Match Thread: Bristol Rovers v Port Vale

[philmpv]

It’s been too quiet and happy on ovf for a while…
I fear a Rovers win with Gibbo playing well (despite him not being in their starting 11 for a few games).
Then the Merchants of Doon will be back in full force!!
God I hope I’m wrong!
UTV!!

Where's Doon? Scotland?

Looking forward to this, few drinks in Bristol before the game and then out round Weston to watch England with a group of vale fans coming down, be nice to have a double like this weekend just gone.

I can see the kick off being brought forward to allow Vale fans to get back for the England game.  Wouldn't surprise me to see a 12.30 kick off. And the weather might be a factor too. Forecast is for below zero temperatures for later this week.

I'm not sure, just seen this posted on the League 1 FB page.  Maybe a little too early for such an announcement?

Got a lot of time for rovers after the support they gave us and DC in the playoffs last year. However, couldn't hate there manager more if I tried, love to get a win over him

I think we have 3 very winnable games coming up with Bristol Rovers, Morecambe and Accrington. Exciting to think where we may be if we get 7 or even 9 points.

I am always happier looking up than down

Sold 900 odd already mind you not too far in fairness just m6 m5 .
Gibbons loved him at Vale when we were naff he always brightened up games along with Worrall.
Hope he plays well but ends on the losing side .
Won last year 2-1 against nine men played better when they had 11 .
Going be tough that played us off the pitch at Vale Park .
I'd probably take a draw .
If Harrison fit could be the day he gets his first hat trick for Vale .
DC loves them they love him but come Saturday hopefully Vale are not going do them any favours .
Hope the away following gets behind the team and there commitment in attending is rewarded UTV .

Shocking decision by the EFL and clubs not to move games forward this weekend.  We had 90% of games in League 1, League 2 and National League all either on Friday night or Saturday lunchtime when the chances were always high of England not been involved in a game the Saturday just gone.  There was always more of a chance of England reaching the quarter finals by finishing top of the group and thus the game taking place this Saturday night.  Only way of getting to see both games now will be cancelling the coach and then driving and stopping somewhere half way on the way back.
