Lots of people need a big reality check on here. Until we strengthen as a club we're a mid table league 1 side at best. Obviously going through a rough spell at the moment, but I fully trust DC and this group of players to sort it out. Give them time and support! Do you find the sand is affecting your vision through your pink glasses

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned this but I'm sure Steve Yates departure has had an ill effect certainly defensively.

I like the look of Colchester stadium cost around 14 million to construct and has capacity of just over 10 thousand. We don't need a stadium that will be half empty just like MK Dons currently have. Wael should consider that. MK Dons are never going to fill their stadium. Their capacity is 30500 and it would take over 13% of the population of MK to fill it. Colchester have a nice stadium of 10k but are catering for a population far less than half that of Bristol and 10k is less than our current capacity. I think Brighton is a better comparison they were averaging 5-6k before they moved and since have not averaged less than 20k. For our initial needs I believe we need a stadium of 20k. Build it and the fans will come. And the average Rovers attendance over say the last ten years is ......?

Every time we are on a bad run the frustration always goes back to our relegation out of the league. OP is absolutely right there’s a lot of negativity at the moment. In the end D.C. always accepted responsibility for going out but he paid the club back by getting two promotions. I suspect, but it can’t be proved, that had JW stayed for the last eight games we would have stayed up, just. But that doesn’t mean D.C. has to carry the whole blame. There wouldn’t have been the falling out with JJOT at Pompey and perhaps other stuff. But it doesn’t matter now, it’s gone and let’s not try and re-write history. More concerning is our defenders inability to defend. Our defence is beginning to remind me of that time in November and December 2012 when we were letting in everything under McGhee culminating in that shambles at York. Big test for D.C. now to try and get a few boring clean sheets even if it’s 0-0. UTG!

Have to keep the faith, DC is as concerned as we are, that mob over the road kept with Lee and look at them now, squad needs an overhaul, just need to get back to basics 4 4 2 and start defending as a team. Need to prioritise targets and be there at the start of the window with our Jordanian dollars. We need wingers for 4-4-2. Unfortunately not replacing Montano is looking like a big error this summer

dc post swindon "lots of negativity surrounding the football club" 2 mins 40 secs marcus pre swindon "difficult week for the club with certain things going on behind the scenes" 4 mins 27 secs. They only look like bad club problems if fans want to see it that way. They could literally mean anything. Perhaps the one Marcus Stewart is referring to could be Geoff Dunfords funeral? Maybe DC is talking about a small slice of the fan base wanting to run the club into the ground spreading nonsense rumours when we should be getting behind the team to get out of the poor run of form. So your saying that gasincider,bs5 [fence gate] and midlandgas on their own have undermined the club and both the manager and his assistant believe they are worth mentioning in press interviews? With respect i dont think the funeral would have any impact on the pplaying side of rovers.

In their first season in the new stadium they averaged over 20k and averaged 27996 last season. Brighton since their move have not averaged less than 20k. Reading averaged 6590 prior to their move and last season averaged 17500.

With respect i dont think the funeral would have any impact on the pplaying side of rovers. No mention of that in last night's interview and I doubt any first teamers playing last night even attended the funeral, there's clearly something go on behind the scenes but the heads in the sand brigade are still talking nonsense about the ALQ's spending millions redeveloping the Mem. Anyway Steve Yates told 20man he was back in Bristol in November surely getting him in p/t would help to us, plus with Bodin due back on Saturday or the next home game then that might be enough to turn things around, although that depends on just what's going on in the background.

Couldn't disagree more , Alex ferguson wouldn't of kept us up. The rot had well and truly set in well before dc took over and that rot was allowed to take place under the leadership of John ward. I know jw had personal issues which is why in my opinion his head was not in the right place,(understandingly so) dc was simply the fall guy. Trouble is we will never know What we do know is that he cleared out a lot of rubbish when he had the chance and built a new team to very good effect.

And Brighton’s six seasons in their new stadium have been in the Championship. You think Rovers would fill a 20000 stadium if it opened tomorrow? 10000-12000 looks like a sensible capacity as a compromise.

Rovers couldn't be self sustainable in League 1 let alone the Championship with a 12,000 capacity. The Memorial Stadium is near that now. It has to be between 18,000 - 20,000 at least. Rovers would fill a new ground no problem. Yeah, attendances may not be the best at the moment but the Mem is run down. Decent infrastructure, decent seats, decent ground and a decent team will bring in more fans, just like it has done across town at the higgledy piggledy red eyesore in 💩💩 Trashton 💩💩.

All very well coming on here trying to tell an and sundry, things aren't right and Dwane Sports isn't paying X, isn't doing Y and for us all to open our eyes, but that isn't going to achieve anything like talking on the internet has never achieved anything at BRFC
If it's as bad as some are trying to paint, it's time to put up or shut up and use the voices and organisations we have (and the local media be it BEP or Geoff Twentyman) and perhaps try and force the issue and stop preaching on the internet
That however requires action an very few are ever actually willing

Yes i agree but i think dc and marcus are talking about something thats affected the playing side behind the scenes which dosnt mean a few posters on a forum.

I agree, we would easily fill a stadium of that size. We are now in no mans lands being held back for whatever reason. Personally more worried now about our lack of ambition and communication than i was under old regime, was expecting more to be done almost 2 years down the line. Lack of honesty has been disappointing.
