What's their ground like?
Behind one goal is the large single-tiered Blackthorn Atyeo Stand which is a big contrast to a much smaller, older Micra Wedlock Stand down the other end. The Dolman Stand alongside the pitch is a big, steep stand, with its opposite number quite a bit smaller.
Palace fans will share half the Micra Wedlock Stand with an allocation of 2,800. Facilities are average, there are posts which obscure part of the view but with a low rough the acoustics are impressive.
What do they sing?
Drink up thee cider,
Drink up thee cider,
For tonight we'll merry be (merry be)
We'll go on down to Rovers,
To do the b**stards over,
And still pour cider in thee jar, (repeat).
Songs to sing back
Where's your Nick Carle gone?
Who do they hate?
Bristol Rovers, Cardiff City and Swindon Town
