Bristol Rovers Hooliganism Could Lead To Bubble Trips

The actions of Bristol Rovers hooligans could see the club forced to impose 'bubble trip' sanctions on their travelling supporters for future away trips, following the arrest of five Rovers fans in Cardiff last week.

The five fans were arrested for various offences, with charges ranging from public disorder through to the lesser offence of fighting a bit like a girl.

Rovers director and media whore, Geoff Dunford said, "Obviously, the five individuals involved will be banned from attending future away games, but we still have to cater for the other five fans who made the trip."

He continued, "With that in mind, we'll be making future away games 'bubble trips', to ensure no such repeat of the disgraceful scenes in Cardiff. The club will be laying on a taxi to take fans to our next away game against Brentford."

The taxi, an LTI TX4, can accommodate up to five people. However, Dunford went on to explain, "Obviously, the taxi can take as many as five fans to Griffin Park, but even if demand dictates we don't need that size of vehicle, we'll keep the same taxi and the fans who do go will be rewarded with extra legroom. It's the least we can do. Literally."

Asked why no such plans were in place for tonight's Johnstone's Paint Trophy game at Hereford United, Dunford concluded, "Nobody's expected to travel to that."
