Absolutely gutted by this news, one of the best CBs I've ever had the pleasure of seeing at this club. I'll have a guess and say he's off to Cardiff.

Integral part of a defence that pretty much kept us up this year and a loyal servant who’s stuck by us through both relegation and promotion to where we are now, 8 years at a football club is something rarely accomplished these days. If this is true, I’ll be absolutely gutted, one of my favourite players at the club and an immensely talented footballer despite what some will say.

Again embarrassing from the club if the fans hear first from 20pence. Have to agree we've spent all week discussing the pros and cons of Lines playing but nothing has been said by the club about Lockyer leaving, yet they made a big thing of Brown leaving last season. The sooner Starnes and Hammer go the better in my view.

Best defender at the club and Captain.
Massive loss.
Good luck Tom, you always deserved better.

Personally don’t mind that he’s off, but just really hope we’re getting a fee for him...
Wish him all the best though and will follow his career with interest - been magnificent for us.

Undroppable, can't pass a ball. Not commanding, useless as skipper(job should be Craig's). Will not be missed.

Amazed so many people are disappointed. We can’t get the ball out our own half when the best our c.bs can do is give it straight back to the oppo. Terrible player that I will only remember for being quite frankly Rubbish.

I think you will all realize just how good he was when he's gone.

f**king gutted. We could be in real real trouble next season.
His distribution was questionable but improving, reading of the game second to none.
Very weird why the club wouldn’t put out an official statement first, rather than 20man.

I'd be really sad to see him go. Last summer Ellis and Brown, this summer Lockyer and Lines and possibly the Beard. DC gone. Almost all the characters who hauled us back from our lowest ebb gone in the space of 12 months. I recall similar happening before we crashed out of League One last time.

Feeling really disillusioned with the club atm. Anyone I had any sort of feeling or connection with is leaving or being left out, no stadium or training ground update, and season ticket prices have gone up. Will be a strange summer that’s for sure.

Brookman just said that he's decided he wants to try his luck at a higher level and its 99% chance it's his last game for Rovers
Sounds like he's out of contract

Sounds like he's out of contract Was told the same at our last home game, but didn’t want to believe it. Fully understand him wanting to go, but we could have really done with a fee to reinvest in the squad.
