Well,that news has taken the shine off of a really good Rovers performance. Be sad to watch him walk off the pitch on Saturday, for the last time. His goal against Dagenham might not have been the most important I’ve seen scored, but it was the most exciting. Best of luck, Lee.

Lee Brown is a gashead, He wears a Rovers hat, Could of played for anyone, But he said ‘no f**k that’. He played on the left side, But scored with his right and When he walks off we’ll sing his name all night!

What a shame that shot didn't go in tonight, as that would have been a fitting end to a fantastic Rovers career. I didn't think we have many Rovers legends who've played at full back but Browner's up there with Alexander and Pritchard in my view. Vaughan Jones is also up there, a left back who captained the rovers to promotion. Lee Brown is certainly in that same group of legends. His loyalty is not in question, a really nice fella and a really good left back. He will definitely be missed. And thanks Lee for that goal which no gashead will ever forget. l wish you all the best for the rest of your career where ever it takes you.

a massive part of the team that gave us our rovers back and played a huge part of getting us where we are today. I will never forget what he's helped us to achieve with our great club. Thank you lee, you are an absolute true pro and a truly top man. Gashead through and through.

Darrell said that Brown has been struggling all season with family issues. May explain why he hasn't always been at his best in 'some' games. But some were quick to criticise his performance without actually knowing whats going on behind closed doors. There is a lesson in there for all of us I reckon.
As said by someone else, I am glad he is leaving on his own accord and not released by us. He stayed loyal to us when we hit rock bottom. He scored one of the penalties at Wembley to help get us back to the football league. He scored the goal that secured our double promotion. He made the left back role his own for 7 years and never really had anyone challenge him for that position.
The word 'legend' gets thrown around too easily these days. But to me, what he has done for our club when we needed someone to step up, to me, he will always be a legend for Rovers.
To top it off, he is a nice guy too. Had time for the youngsters on the fun days.
Will be missed. Good luck to him for whatever comes his way next and good luck to the player who fills his boots for us.

What's his current contract situation with us? Thought he had a year left?

Gutted. A true Bristol Rovers legend.
Thanks for the memories Browner. Not sure the feeling of ‘that’ goal will ever be topped in my lifetime.

I wonder if we've got time to knock up a little sign of our appreciation for him, a banner or something? What's the turn around on a quick Facebook crowd fund and banner order? Or anyone know someone on the inside of those sorts of companies? Plenty of talented gasheads on twitter who could probably bosh a design out in ten seconds flat

If Sinclair goes too I'll be on the verge of a full meltdown!

a real shame, a true modern gas legend and not just for that goal. didn't realise he was only 27, could have a good few years left at a decent level yet and will obviously always be guaranteed a warm welcome back here.

Hopefully we'll see retribution for all his years of unwavering loyalty and memorable performances, if people can conjure up waves of anger over Taylor's departure because of loyalty then I expect the same holds true for the opposite

Genuinely disappointed in him leaving! He’s been a great player for us, one of only a few that wanted to stay and get us back in the league. For that I will always be grateful. Wish him all the best👏👏

Wish him all the best👏👏 Ditto to all of that. I just hope that the manager, in who we trust, does not sign Bola as a replacement.
