This forum has turned in to an embarrassment, I dread to think of the atmosphere next weekend. Sure there is disappointment regarding the UWE but personal attacks on the AlQ's and SH are comparable with how the other lot speak about Johnson. There is also some absolute nonsense about DC re. yesterday's performance, yes it wasn't good and my Mrs was fuming when I got home at midnight but it was always going to be one of the toughest games of the season and we could quite easily of taken a point which we probably would all have accepted before kick off.
Everybody is more than entitled to air their personal opinion but most of the scaremongering bollox is just adding fuel to the fire and making everything 10 x worse.
What ever the future holds (many opinions with little substance posted, again, the negativity doing nobody any good) get behind the team, DC and the board FFS.

It is bad when people (like Tbone) desperately want us to fail and troll the match day threads

Well said mate. Total overreaction last week. Let's get behind the CLUB. UTG A total over reaction - I don't think so. A Project which has been on going for well over six yearsv falls at the final hurdle and no one outside of the Club or UWE has the faintest idea as to the reason why. A Project which most of us felt was a major stepping stone for the Club's future - a future beyond where we are sitting now, which is now unlikely to happen. As recent as June this year our revered Chairmain again gave just about everyone false hope that negotiations were going well and there was no reason to doubt that there would anything but a positive conclusion. And then we have the bumbling interview with Twentyman where he describes this clubs future as being akin to The Crazy Gang. Absolutely disgraceful and if the 'Rose Tinters' want to tolerate this nonsense - so be it - I for one don't. You say "get behind the CLUB" what do you think we've been doing for last three season with attendance and season ticket sales increasing year on year. The reaction last week was called human nature - I fear that many of "the supporters" that believed things were starting to happen at last, will sadly drift away again - it will interesting to see what the home attendance will be next week. Many - not just on this relatively small forum will at moment feel let down - fact of life I'm afraid. |

We are the best home team in the top 5 divisions over the past 3 years. If the success on the pitch wasn't there lets not pretend we would be getting gates of more than 7,000. |

Read the OP again - we're all disappointed and let down but the post was referring in particular to the personal attacks and scaremongering. We'd all like to know more about what's gone on but let's see what Wael has to say next Saturday. |

Post by Topper Gas on Aug 6, 2017 10:32:52 GMT
But why does Wael have to wait until next Saturday, unless talks with the UWE are re-started we now face a decade or more stuck at a dilapidated Mem (which probably now as the worse away terrace in league football). How can real fans basically say "don't worry carry on"? How long is DC going to stay as our manager if he now knows this is the best it will get at Rovers?
As far as yesterday's game we lost to an average Div 1 side playing with 10 men for virtually the full game and didn't create one clear cut chance, if fans find that acceptable we'll never progress from being a mid table Div 1 side we've been, at best, for decades.

"Stuck at the mem for 10 years", exactly my point, pure speculation! No substance to that whatsoever. |

Wael has decided to talk next Saturday for whatever reason. Maybe it will become obvious after he has spoken? DC as manager? Who knows, but wild speculation solves nothing. The bloke has just signed a FIVE YEAR CONTRACT, which means he was satisfied with the content of the contract right? Yesterday. An average Div 1 side....Charlton will probably finish in the top 7. They were at home. It was also their first game of the season and nobody wants to lose that one do they? We had a few chances from headers actually, forced a few corners. Our league standing has nothing to do with what fans find acceptable! |

Unfortunately there has been some language on here that has not been great especially towards the Al Qadi's, which I think is uncalled for. However, this is not like the Gas walking away from Eastville, football has changed, if SH thinks ah well Wimbledon did it in the 80's it can happen now, then he is deluded. Christ, he was talking of Brighton Swansea Etc 18 months ago, now it's Burton & the 80's Wimbledon (and we know how that ended). He should be ashamed of his performance in the media on Thurs. Despite all his previous rhetoric landing lights etc. listening to him I had a feeling the deal had never been close. Its the all the false hope given coupled with how the announcement was made that has upset so many moderate fans who quite rightly now want some questions answered and need to hear both sides. I mentioned in a previous thread, what if any input has there been from S Glos, after all wasn't this project supposed to bring £200m into the local economy. Continued silence I'm afraid just adds fuel to the fire, waiting until the 12 Aug, to talk on the radio, when most fans will be on their way to the game is just not good enough, there needs to be a press conference with both sides & dare I say some tough questioning from the media. Least of all some tough questions on how the club can survive losing the amount of £ it is without the revenue that a new stadium would generate? How much more can we borrow against the Mem? Where is the money coming from to build the training facilities, I heard figures of £8m bein mentioned a while ago, but without plans for a new ground is this still viable. Whilst I understand it may have been difficult looking for alternative stadium sites during the last 18, what contingency was put in place in case UWE fell through, feasibility of a Mem rebuild (God forbid we try that) Or should we just bury our heads in the sand & just turn up on a Sat & not question anything about the running of our club? |

Agree with the op. I've noticed plenty of good posters names have disappeared in recent days.

Can someone please correct the spelling in the thread title? I think it's a good post but it's doing my old head in for some reason.

Quite right, I agree, as I said upfront it's uncalled for. There has also been a lot of nasty OTT comments made between forum members on here, which us a shame, because I think we all want the best for our club. We should be able to question the people who are current custodians of our club, especially at a time like this. But it needs to be done respectfully. I happen to think that the way the club has handled things this week, has been the cause of much of the frustration & it's come back & bitten them on the bum on social media. |

We all took great delight at laughing at the Teds last season because of the poison dwarf. Do you not think they are now feeling the same about us? What expertise do any of us have in dealing with multi million pound businesses? What expertise do any of us have in managing a Div 1 football club? The answer is ....'Absolutely zero!' Yet some of the belters on this forum feel that they are in a position superior to our owners and manager. These belters have difficulty spelling and using grammar so how do they think they know better than the professionals that run our club. Your are supposed to be supporters i.e. you support and back your team through thick and thin... not slag them off after the first game of the season or when UWE think they can pull the wool over the eyes of our owners because they are rich foreigners. The Al Quadi family didn't get rich making stupid decisions and if they think the UWE deal is a bad one then why would they go ahead with it.

Firstly, teds cannot think, so don't start giving them credit for that. In term of managing a div1 club. I actually took rovers to the Champions League semi final on FM so I've got a good grasp on how to do it. The family should just get on with it to make everyone happy. |
